I liked the Cube a lot. The sequels were terrible, but the original seemed fresh and cool at the time...I actually like the lower budget feel of it better than the slicker higher-budget of the sequels. I think a lot of people didn't like The Transporter but I did. Can't think of a film that majority say they hate that I loved at the moment tho..usually it's the other way around.

I'll probably post a few snapshots here and there too. I did, a little. I don't like the over-sharpened look tho. Actually the main problem is the crap quality of the glass I'm using. Often gives things a bit more of a grain even when it's in focus, especially with large flat light-color areas like the bread. Either that or it's just my eyes...

http://www.gimp.org/ I haven't actually used it myself since I already have PaintShopPro, and it's a little more work to install than the typical Window's program, but friends I know think it's great. Pretty much does maybe 80-90% of what Photoshop/pre-Corel PaintShopPro can do that the average user would want to do.

First Contact was so much better. The last one pretty much killed the entire ST movie franchise.

So get the Gimp, it's free.

Hendrick in the 10,000 meter speed skate was fun to watch...man you need serious stamina for that event. Poor guys look like they're dyin' by the end. heh Wish they televised more speed skating during non-Olympic times, I'd watch it. Maybe if we had 500 stations...

I agree...some mistakes/falls are part of any sport but it wasn't much fun watching the Olympic Ice Follies. Difficult it may be to play these sports, but it still looks bad from the stands. I might have said it already, if so sorry, but even Scott Hamilton said once that it was better for them complete a spin and then fall, then to not do the spin at all. There's too much pressure on the poor athletes I guess. I feel bad for them, really.

"Very Best of 60's Gold," disc 1. *sings and dances*

Thanks pixie, I knew I could count on you. :D

I'm not even convinced it's a photo. Well ok, maybe it started as a photo, but...definitely graphically edited...and not a true black & white, nope.

Soap operas? <_< Ok, here's mine, no order: Star Trek (TNG might be better but the original will forever be in my TV heart) Star Trek:TNG Giligans Island Twilight Zone (original) Nip/Tuck CSI:Las Vegas Family Ties Little House on the Prairie (yeah, yuk it up, guys...) D ick Van Dyke show (walnuts!) (edit..word filter...) The Flintstones There's more but you said 10 so...The original Smother's Brothers show would be on there but it was only on for a year.

After Googling that reference I'm not sure if that's a compliment or a pointed criticism. Meh....every amateur photographer has taken liquid-drop type pictures. It's like a requirement or something. Certainly not original or controversial. But it is fun. And I love macro type stuff.

Yeah, I wasn't sure at first if it was the new scoring system...I think someone already brought that up a while back...but I'm pretty sure it is now. On the one hand, it's nice that they can fall and still score well - since with all sports, one run isn't really enough to prove you're the 'best' - you're just the best/luckiest that day - but on the other hand, it appears to be making for less potential consistency in favor of extra high-tech marks. Who knows tho...

Piece of bread. It loses something when it's not high-res. Oh well.

I like the color, but I have doubts as to whether or not it's anything but a marketing gimmick...or a one-scene only type of deal.

I like the doggy pic. and mkreku apparently shares my fetish for...shaved cats.

I think more skaters fell on their behinds this time around then in all the past Olympics combined. Fine, it's an exaggeration, but it's still been very frequent. At least, what they show on the network. The US isn't doing too bad medal wise but I think almost half of is from snowboarding. Heh.

Light, mostly because of the fave-npc interaction/options. Darkside was very fun tho. But the npc's aren't as much fun to stare at. Except Bao Dur.

See, now these are like, art, compared to what I churn out in 10-15 minute sessions. Great stuff there guys/gals.

Still learning a lot of stuff...been doing a lot of the common experiments to learn. I don't expect to add to this thread very often but it's where I'll put any photo's I feel like sharing. Comments and constructive criticism welcome but not required. Milk and oil are fun. There's a few more along this vein here.

I prefer taskbar clutter to desktop clutter. I like being able to click on things while webbrowsing/using programs without having to get back to the desktop screen first, even if it cuts off a tiny bit of bottom space. The beat-up old shoe belongs to me, the soon-to-be-disgruntled kitty is one of mine.

I really like this quote but it's hard to get it all on there and not look 'word-heavy.' <_<

Erm...no book/movie has yet changed my life in any drastic way, like changing careers/habits etc. But one that did influence some of my philosophy about living/humanity when I was 13 or so is The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan W. Watts. I've pretty much stuck with a lot the things he writes in there ever since. Except the actual reglious/God beliefs that I remember were towards the end of the book. I remember underlining and re-reading and my tattered copy is still in a box somewhere...

Oh goody, I was wondering what happened to the other one. Probably got derailed. Har. I never play games that are good screenshot material these days, tho. Tank full of fish...how exciting.

I love Metor. Always have, even before the patches. Fire/Ice for me, I solo'd a lot, and not just 'boss runs', I needed/wanted 2 elements, even if they were weaker power-wise. Paladin's were great fun, except I could never build one quite right. :D
