I can never get scans to look as nice as they did originally. Oh well.

I hate Quicktime. I've tried it (several times over the last decade), I hate it, I hate what it does, I always delete it. All I saw was "You need Quicktime", a PSP option, and in IPOD option, none of which I have/use. Thanks Surreptishus, I'll try there.

Ewwww......Quicktime. I'll wait for the TV version.

Myers-Briggs definitions of terms such as intuitive and judging live in their own special dictionary...don't worry, I won't define them, cause they're still lumpish. Do you guys look up histories on the fly or do you remember all these factoids?

That first one of the park benches is supreme. Nice finds.

Danny Elfman's Oompa Loompa songs lifted from the 'Charlie & The Chocolate Factory' DVD. I love the fact he actually sings them this time around. Makes me miss Boingo even more...

*scratches her armpit and prances around like an ape* Sometimes, I want intelligent and serious conversation. Sometimes, I just want to yuk it up. I see RPG's vs. RPG-lite's in that manner...neither 'suck', they're just for different moods & purposes.

I look at games this way....it may cost $50, but it's yours, and will be yours forever unless you throw it away. 2 years later, when it's raining and you're bored, you can dust it off and replay it again. Unlike, say, a $20 pizza which is gone in 15 minutes or a $10 movie ticket that has no replay value at all. I think of all the money the average person spends on consumables per year and...well...$50 doesn't actually seem all that bad, relative to the cost of living increases in general.. Tho I do understand when you're a 'poor student' or something similar, almost everything seems too expensive.

Hmm....well, that was actually a public service announcement that wasn't a waste of my time. I really liked that writer's review...mostly because it was funny. I also hate FilePlanet...but since most of the time my information about new games comes from threads like these, thanks for the info. The game is something to keep an eye on when it comes out. Although, it does sound like the combat interface/control system might be a bit too complex for my simple brain and reflexes. :D

Doesn't have to be a flesh and blood actress, does it? Ok..I've wasted enough time, back to the sort-of grind.

That's some lightning bolt...

Hahahaha!!! That made me laugh..

Not in photography. 'Macro' is used because you're making something small look big or magnified in the picture.

More macros:

Too big to show directly. Warning, it's a cat picture. But a pretty one. Siamese Cat

Since this seems to be about cats...I just love this picture.

Pretty soon this will be the 'Beautiful People' thread... :D I'm tempted to post a picture of SG-Atlantis' leading man for old memories sake, but...I shall refrain. For now. Edit - nice lake shot, Kaftan. A little grainy, but nice comp.

Xmas day is fine. It's all the days leading up to Xmas that I can't stand.

One of my remaining cats (11 y.o) is too fat around the middle to fold over and reach around and clean her own behind. She tries, and doesn't quite make it, and sits there looking hopelessly forlorn in a cute yet pathetic way. We call her our harpy-seal, cause she looks like one when she lies down, I swear.

If a monster hits you while you have the Hunter speed skill on, you're stunned/slowed to a crawling walking pace for some seconds. If they hit you again, it goes on forever. But it's still very useful for around the huge towns and actual road travelling, which is generally 'safe'. If you're hit while riding a mount, you're not stunned.

I'll agree. Most of them, anyway. I've met exceptions...

I don't mind some travelling in a game...can make a nice atmosphere and seem more 'real' than being able to super-sonic your way everywere...but Blizz went a little extreme. Heheh I think they do have plans for more eventual flight-paths tho. Edit - The Hunters speed skills are NOT good for out-running monsters....but hunters rock.

Even the mages can only teleport/make portals to certain main-hub towns. Useful, but it's no D2 town-portal spell hehe
