Hehe that panda one is adorable. The ladybugs...I dunno...just thought it was funny. :D

I must agree. They also aren't furry, thus that opens up to me realm of non-fuzzy creature pics....

Totally irrelevant, but that's is pretty much how I feel about the movie/TV industry.

Eldar gets the Motivational Speech of the Month award. :D Can't speak for what others think of themselves, but I'm aware that if I put my mind to it, I can write fairly well. I'm usually too lazy to put my mind to it however, and fully admit it (the laziness), which is why I stopped. I'm an all or nothing sort - compulsively obsessive or ignore completely, and it's too exhausting (and probably grounds for divorce...hah) to be that way for months while writing in order to finish. Maybe I'll pick it up again someday....I've been saying that for years now tho. heh But if I ever do publish, even if it's not until I'm 80, I'll certainly buy a round for all the writers here, even if I'm not the first to do so.

One of the things that drove me personally crazy during my own feeble novel attempts was having to keep notes of dozens of characters while writing so I wouldn't make errors like forget a made-up language word meant this instead of that, or a character's birthday or hair color. And yeah, you do fall in love...or sometimes even hate...with your characters as you go along. Sounds like you're having a blast, and that's the most important thing - if contracts and money eventually follows, that's the icing. Send us all autographed copies when you're rich and famous! :D

webuser: i love you sternest: O! Evil you. Why am I not surprised... ...I actually have just as much fun typing random keystrokes and seeing what it spells with it. webuser: pwoeripsfodih sternest: Foppish weirdo.

@ StillLife If you don't understand why people like certain games, that's fine...I don't understand why some people like brie or fish eggs. But I don't tell them what they 'should' like instead, or that they don't understand the art of culinary pleasure... The same people who like Diabloish games can also often be fans of things like Baldurs Gate types and table-gaming, I've met many who love all three, because they find all three fun in different ways, whatever those ways are for them. I am quite positive that any of those people I've met - some of them who've been table-top gaming before video games were even really around - would be very offended by the notion that they don't understand that 'gameplay should move on,' or whatever, simply because they happen to (still) enjoy one particular game/genre. There are many very old (non-video) games that are all very simple and repetive games rules-wise that are still hugely popular and widely played. Just because time marches on people aren't going to stop liking or wanting certain genres/stuff, assuming they still personally enjoy them. To quote from Star Trek's Shore Leave (groan away...) perhaps sometimes, for some of us, "The more complex the mind (or work/living environment), the greater the need for the simplicity of play."

3rd person combat in Oblivion isn't stupid, you just lose the guided aim cursor and have to sometimes guess where you're swinging because your 'back' can block your forward view a bit. It's not hard...just something to get used to. I use it a lot because, with the enemies being able to hit you from farther away than you think should be so visually (a big game cheat IMO), 3rd is less misleading to me for judging strike distance. As long as you don't pull back the view too much, it works fine.

Like this one? http://www.mi.uib.no/~ingeke/anagram/index_eng.html But then your response list can be miles long with many of them making no lingual sense.

webuser: I am bored sternest: Die rambo webuser: LadyCrimson sternest: Randomly sic ------- webuser: myself sternest: that's boring, say something more webuser: happy sternest: I can't anagram something short

Advice: avoid caps-lock in your post and people may take you a bit more seriously... :D As to your question, my response is the same as the others...no, there's no such language conversion patch.

The music from both Strongholds...I'd forgotten how good it is...if you like flutes, mandolins/lutes and drums and things, that is. :cool:

Lions and tigers are just big kittah's...

Ok, I'll stop now.

http://crimsonkeep.com/downloads/movies/ev...dance-small.avi (3.2MB) That's about as shruken as I could make it as a quickie .avi w/out totally ruining it, it's long. It'll be pretty fuzzy at media players default 100% cause that's bigger than the actual resolution size I made it (and the original flash is already fuzzy), put it at 50% zoom if you want. Edit: the music in some media players might sputter a little, dunno why..MediaPlayer works fine tho Should be fixed.

For those on slow connections, it's just this comedian doing various dancing routines to their popular tunes. I made a hard copy for myself...hehe...I really liked it. (especially the Brady Bunch reference)

Depends on how drunk you are?

World Poker Tour proves poker can be a fun visual medium...if they made that an Olympic sport I'd watch....but as anyone who's watched a friend play a game knows, it's never fun to watch someone else play a video game.

omg that was funny...and sadly, quite true.

My Arcanum is collecting dust on a shelf. I installed it, played it for three hours, uninstalled it.

I suppose avoiding combat as much as possible in order to beat a game while still lvl 1 doesn't count? (aka Might & Magic's) lol..that was fun running through some of the most heavily populated enemey areas invisible, trying to complete quests w/out being seen/detected. I agree tho...games should at least have an option to play/win the game with a non-combat method. It would make things more interesting.
