You know its spring when...
I think it's just the typical male out-of-control hormonally-charged sex-drive. :D God bless them.

Games make you do drugs
@sega-soldier - LOL now that's truth.

Games make you do drugs
The only drug games have made me use a lot more of is caffeine.

You know its spring when...
When the rain ends...which it hasn't this year yet, much to the seemingly endless fascination of local news weathermen. I get so tired of listening to them blather on about 'record rainfall!' "It feels like Dec. not April!" when it's just...y'know...rain. It's not like we're flooding or anything.

Alas, I don't live in one of those areas, although once in a blue moon we drive up to such places for a weekend. I'll keep that in mind for next time.

Violent video game law scotched by US judge
(Some) parents will forever believe that regulation of all things they think are 'bad' will save their children from misery, emotional trauma, and loss of innocence for a little bit longer. I think feeding your children diets of fat and sugar and the parents never being home because they have important careers are more harmful than playing a violent video game. "

LadyCrimson's photo thread
Hmm...I guess Eldar has a point. Never really thought of it. It's a just a blog where I occasionally toss up a picture, not an art gallery, and I'm a chatty top-of-head writer so I tend to start off writing and then post the links. I considered early on not writing anything at all and just posting the pictures, but my garrulous nature wouldn't let me...heh. I'll think about it tho, it probably would have more impact photographically that way, perhaps.

LadyCrimson's photo thread
Sometimes I get a little annoyed that the things I really like to take pictures of are so...well...cliche. Oh well, gotta do what you like to do, right? Raindrops on leaves are one of my favorite things - I find it a challenge to shoot them in a way that shows off reflections or odd shapes or just the fact they look cool against a plant background. Someday soon I'll get that huge zoom lens or whatever and start hunting the wildlife with my camera again. That'll give me something different to focus on, hah.

Tombraider: Legend
This review claims it's actually closer to seven hours to 'romp' through the game.

Why do you hate YOUR country
I'd rather pay more taxes on a spread out/yearly basis than be ripped off by insurance companies (or medical companies ripping off insurance companies and therefore increasing insurance rates in that way). If we'd had covering insurance, the sleep clinic would have charged us $2000 for hubby's CPAP, but since we didn't, they said "Oh ok, we'll give it to you for $1000 then." WTF is that?

Atton with a Lightsaber?
I guess I'm not a power gamer because Atton always made a fine Jedi for me. I barely even had to cast heal for him. That Twilek bar fight was the only thing that can be hard for him, but the third time I got to that point I had him wiping the floor with them, without using any of the 'tricks.' (I turned him to Jedi before triggering that bit and used shields and stuff). But I think that's more from the ease of the game then anything else...

There's a demo? *goes to check*

Why do you hate YOUR country
America....too many bloody people. Oh wait, that's why I hate the world...hmm..let's see...ok, I got one... ...basic medical care isn't free or at least very cheap like in some other places. Medical insurance is a big fat scam and badly needs overhauling etc.

Pics of your games: Reloaded
I'd like Warlocks more if it wasn't for that Wind spell, heh. Usually they're just vampire fodder for me. Ever make any levels in the past? If you have any in storage I'm always open to a map I don't actually have memorized/made myself. haha!

Inter-hall bacon cookout
Turkey bacon's ok on a sandwich. Real bacon can't be beat tho...too bad it's so horrible for you. Sounds like a fun event tho - go for it, don't worry about it...like someone else said, it's a voluntary fun student thing.

If there's a graveyard, I always seem to end up with 30-50 vampires.... ^_^

Movies You Have Seen Lately
A Sound of Thunder - bad time-travel alter-evolutionary-history sci-fi movie w/a lot of cgi, apparently based on a Ray Bradbury story. Watchable, but nothing special. Fun to poke fun at while you're watching tho.

Yes, I have DeeperDungeons. -------------- It's payday Part2. (man it wasn't easy to make this fuzzy little thing, since I can't take fraps avi's of DK...) Edit: Also - Traps aren't friendly to imps.

k1 and k2 portraits
Lightside they look the same with a bit more rosy cheeks. Darkside...not that I've seen. I've done darksides of a couple Kotor2 npc's and one of the female Asian exiles, but that's it. The KotorFanMedia forums might be a place to ask for such things...they have a lot of reference material, or a few people that are sometimes willing to do it. That's a lot of faces tho.

I almost mentioned that Connery film, but I couldn't remember it's name. I would've said something like "that movie where he ran around in orange jock strap rags." :D Definitely a hilarious moment in his career...

It is payday. ....everyone has their screenshot obsession.

Movies You Have Seen Lately
I thought the Untouchables was entertaining. Certainly not a "serious" gangster movie...just action melodrama entertainment, if y'know what I mean. And Connery always rules, even if you can make fun of him at the same time. I mean, I laughed at his silly purple outfit and stuff during The Highlander, but he was still cool. :D

Movies You Have Seen Lately
Capote - very good film. History of Violence - not a very good film...although the ending showdown between Viggo and William Hurt was pretty damn funny, in a twisted humor kind of way. I think Viggo's chin could give Kirk Douglas' chin a run for it's money...yes I'm mean.

What happens if you push the game resolution up to 1280? Does performance go way down? Just curious.

Microsoft buys out lionhead
Much as I love Dungeon Keeper1, I must agree that Molyneux has gone downhill ever since. He may be innovative, but he seems to have lost touch with what makes a good game, kind of like Lucas lost touch with...oh never mind.
