: So recently I've tried to make my blog look cooler. I decided to give it a
: new look---a Marathony look. It turned out well, but that wasn't enough
: for me. No, I wanted each entry to be in terminal format. I dug through my
: Theory of Unification website and got the HTML I used to create terminals.
: Despite initial... problems... it now works well, but uses the strange
: pictures from the Durandal-Thoth terminals. What I want to do now is take
: pictures of myself to use in the side screens. This would be really
: similar to how they altered the pics of Jason Jones to make the Robert
: Blake terminal screens. Does anyone know an easy way to recreate that
: all-green and staticy effect? If anyone knows how they did it, or a
: similar way, it would be really helpful.

Pick horizontal-row tool.
Click-and-drag to the top of the screen. Delete, nudge down two rows, delete, etc etc etc.
(Alternately, delete two rows, skip two, delete two, etc).
Play with transparency to your liking. Possibly also try transfer mode of "overlay".
That should do it. You might also want to play with the brightness/contrast of the original image.
