It is a very neat tutorial, but it doesn't really seem to be "raining", just some random changing noise. =P Sorry, but it is a neat effect! So, 7/10.

I think it's fine, personally. I almost never move it off of 0.

This isn't actually all that impressive in itself, however, for 90% of people with a high-color-resolution monitor, it will seem as if it is "flashing". I'm working on creating some more PdN illusions.

I followed the wood texture tutorial, then just started playing around with settings a little. After a while I made three relatively cool backgrounds. I like the first one the best:

Omg, I love this. Especially for the sublimely-added-messages factor: Apocalypse! Colored image hidden.
