Yeah, those were pretty, for their day. Even now they're still nice to look at. They didn't bother me either, because they were like between game-act intermissions, telling a backstory, rather than interfering with the pace/action/characters in the game. Tho any game you replay a lot, such cutscenes become a waste of time and you click like mad to get past them. And in multiplayer - argh - any system where any 1 person in your groupwho doesn't click to skip the movie that forces everyone else to wait and watch, is really irritating. IIRC GuildWars did that, and it drove me insane.

You don't need Bao-Dur to get past those shields, tho. I never take him there.

Ansel Adams, of course. This gallery of tigers and other big cats Other styles of photography I really like are textures: Macros by people who actually have good lenses, unlike myself:

No, I don't miss them. I feel pretty much the same as Shadowstrider about the overall topic of cutscenes/cinematics.

I'm playing it on XP, so...yes. :D The critters scamper a bit faster since I bought the 7800GS. That doesn't bother me tho...what's most annoying is the level choice slider in DeeperDungeons goes up and down so fast it's hard to choose the ones in the middle of the list. heh

Of the more recent years, yeah. And btw, your current avatar kinda creeps me out... :ph34r:

I'm crazy, but not quite that crazy.

... tho I still, of course, occasionally play some DungeonKeeper ... "

I always peter out at the end of a name...turns into a line or a big looping crossover.

I had to Google that, y'know. A tiger samurai?...

I can't decide. <-- imp smokin' or vamp walkin'

That's good to know/keep in mind, thanks. First thing I noticed was the amount of cussin'. I swear a lot myself, in speech, but the show seems a bit excessive. It's repetitive and distracting because it feels like forced shock-value that doesn't work. Yeah...that's why we wait and buy most series on DVD (or rent them) instead of watching them every week.

I have that picture. I made an avatar out of it. :D

I'm not sure if this is the same issue or not, but this article says that Microsoft Issues Out-of-Cycle Patch for Critical IE Flaw The article also mentions an exploit for PowerPoint is now being reported by McAfee.

I consider the graphic designs in games to be artistic (sometimes, heh). The game design itself, I consider more akin to the art of, say, writing fiction. The thing about games, to me, is that they're really composed of more than one kind of 'art' - taken as a whole, I would consider games to be entertainment art (acting, they say, is an art, and that's for entertainment purposes)...which to me is quite different from the old-style 'classic' art defintions of Monet paintings and giant statues of David, or whatnot.

) Most avatars I have are either: widely known ones that I collect from various forums/sites and thus not worth putting up since everyone would likely know them already, or ones I crop myself, which usually end up being of cute animals.

And then there was the ZUG website experiment: http://www.zug.com/pranks/credit/

Using a camera whilst driving? Yes, very. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Meh....if using auto-focus/auto-exposure and just pointing it in the general direction and clicking, no worse than drinking coffee or hunting for/changing music CD's.

It doesn't matter, as long as you write it (pretty much) the same every time so it's recognizably 'yours.' People who like their sigs to be a certain way are just being...ah...old school or something. My father, since he was disabled, wrote his signature with a pen in his mouth and used only his first and last initials, since the whole name was too much effort. No one cared, including banks and such. A sig is a sig. My sig has become more and more sloppy as time goes on; after endless check-writing, it gets tedious making it pretty, so I take my cue from doctors; unlegible scribbles are cool.

A lot of the review sites have sample pictures that aren't macro sorts (usually portrait, indoor, scenic) and they're getting so good with the non-SLR digital cameras in a general way that I've been curious. Not going to go run out and buy one myself just to compare w/the SLR tho, so thanks for that. Actually not too shabby considering. And I know what a SLR is, I have one, although mine's only 8mp. The digital SLR's for $800-1600 are pretty decent. I still want those $8,000-12,000+ 'pro' lines someday tho. Har. Liberty statue on the right: Cropped, @ 50% original size 4 sec. exposure f/16 100ISO Liberty statue on the left: Cropped, @ 75% original size 1 sec. exposure f/8 400ISO Both crappy indoor lighting, no flash.

Yup...it was nice of them to give you the 'classic' skin. I can't stand the XP look.

I've never tried any of those fixes they have, heh.

It's a bug, if it's the one I'm thinking of, the solution is to re-load a previous save and when you enter the academy, choose a different response than you did before, when Handmaiden asks you to stand down. Unless there's a mod fix for it, which is always a possiblity..

It's just a buggy spot, that force field. Keep trying, re-load, re-bash, run away from it and run back, it'll go eventually.

1st season, disc 1 of Deadwood. It's the first time I've ever seen the show. I like the lead guy and I like the Western 'style' it uses; not sure I like the show, yet.
