Yeah, some older games do that with the newer screenshot programs or printscreen. It's a directx/glide thingie, or something like that - maybe connnected to windows or driver updates too; I don't pretend to understand the tech side of it. It's why I use Hypersnap...it has a capture function to help get around that issue.

Interesting premise. At least it's finally a movie trailer that doesn't make me go 'bleh' and click away... :D

on Rome: I've read here and there that they're making the 2nd season but they announced the won't be making a third. Perhaps that's what he/she meant by 'cancelled.' Of course, they could always change their mind mid-2nd season. We can hope.

Yes, it's very dasteredly.

I feel like it's been that way for a while now. They have a deadline for mass-producing and marketing, and they shove them out the door, with the idea that the programmers etc. can keep on working during the time it takes for that process, and then release the patch. Reminds me a bit of the way walkthough books are out-of-date because they had to print before final version to be profitable. At any rate, Gothic3 is a game I'll have to check out. I'm not sure if I'll like it or not, but it seems worth trying, anyway.

4 epidsodes of Rome watched. I can now say I love this show. Intelligent and full of scheming and plotting. A little too much of the love drama sideplots but...definitely worth watching. It contains quite a bit of off-hand nudity tho; fair warning for anyone who doesn't like such in their shows.

Computer stats? Perhaps your video card or system RAM aren't sufficient? Drivers up to date?

I've never seen that before. Leonard, oh Leonard, why, why?

Oh? Not cancelled? Goody....

I sure don't. Or Clooney either.

After gazing aghast at the $90 for 12 episodes price tag, I grudgingly bought ROME. For the price one seems to largely be getting a heavy duty box. Sigh. Only watched the first 2 episodes so far, but it seems pretty decent. Definitely high production values. Some of the actors stand out, including the young man/boy playing Octavius and the guy playing Caesar. A little slow paced, kinda like most HBO series tend to be imo (they move like the late 70/early 80's mini-series) but so far, seems to me to be a big shame they canceled it. I love Rome and it's history.

Star Wars, theatrical version, DVD, yay. Odd how most of it seemed to be 'cleaned up' but they missed some frames here and there.

Should I have put down non-metric value? That'd be 4' 10.5". I remember calling about a used car once, and I asked about pedal and seat distance/height, and the guy said his wife was "really" short. She was 5' 4". I giggled. The tallest person I personally know is my brother - he's close to 6' 5". But skinny as a rail. Maybe one of my hubby's co-workers was a bit taller, don't remember. Edit: Nutrition may have to something to do with things, but genetics and selection probably have a larger role.

Gazes upwards from her 149 cm. vantage point. All you tall people, I have some lightbulbs that need changing.

Not a bad day, more like an annoying moment: When you walk to your desk chair and as you sit down, your barefoot steps in something cold and gushy. You look down and discover one of your cats threw up and you just stepped in it. I love cats, really I do.

I woke up early, that's always the start of a good day. MrCook subscribed back, which is mildly flattering even if it doesn't really mean anything.

7 and 21 are the ones I feel most strongly about; I've always loved the "Squint" smiley, and the dragon head is just cool. Although the 'Joy' one is pretty darn cute. Not in any 'favorite' order, just went down the list: 3) 5) 7) 10) 18) 21) 22) 32) 33) 45)

It's in flux...

What we are The latest YT featured vid. Too lazy to look to see if someone posted it a month or two ago. I love it tho.

Force Storm is the most fun imo. I really didn't use the feats that often. I'd pick them when I leveled up, but in terms of in-game beyond the basic speed/flurry/critical strike/heal etc. the others weren't used often. I tend to be a slave to using what I think is the most entertaining (force choke is amusing) or visually cool stuff (attack animations) *shrug*

Couple more. I'll stop here. heh So many of my faves don't work well on a dark background...

The dragon one...I adore it. lol And Drabek, yeah, that one smiley is a 'biting nails in fear' smilie - "ohnoes!"

Wiki is 40% popular culture and wishful thinking that rumors or hopes are fact, 40% good intentions and 20% fanatics with agendas that don't equal even attempted objectivity. I consider it a failing but interesting experiment in the generation/opinion gaps between old ways and new ways of thinking/broadcasting and whether or not those gaps are or are not reality or just perception - if you get what I mean. It can be useful at times...not that I ever go there except when a Google search takes me to one of their entries.
