these are real, non-digitally colored WW1 pics....and as soon as I saw that church, I thought of FF...there are a few good maps that use churches, right?

That church looks exacly the same as the one from Avanti

Keep reading and I think it explains they are real colour but it was a very expensive process only mastered by the French.

So that's what they were doing during WWII...

when he jumps the bouncing thing he yells "titta fitta" which means "look, pussy!". and the guys taht just say the samethings are swedish names.

The game is called Supa-otahelvette-o-lira-Pingpong.

I think he just yells watch watch "Titta titta", but you be the judge. My swedish grade is 6 anyway

ty...i'm glad someone read past the first 5 replies :P

yea, they're legit color pics, and not too bad for being so old. better than my 3megapixel pile of shit next to me atleast...

I was thinking of other maps besides avanti...there are other 3rd party maps that have churches that could be replicated in FF using some graphics or something from these pics...i dono...lol

They're just pretty pics. Kinda like this one (render this in FF and I'll give you a cookie):

Thats freaking bad-ass how they got color back in those photos. It makes it seem soo much more closer in time than it really was. Its hard to believe those kids in the pictures are probably dead by now.

o_rizzo · 12-04-2006, 06:55 AM

Damn those swedes!

You do realise colour wasn't invented until the 60's right? Everyone was actually black and white. The TV tells me so.

This actually does hint to the fact that at least for me, WW1 looked suddenly more real by looking at these pictures.

This stems from what I would call the anxiety of actuality and "live" with the documentation that goes with it spawned by modern society.
