I've tried Paintbrush but find it does not have the same functionality and ease of use as Paint, mostly because it's impossible to properly copy and paste things into a Paintbrush canvas (or crop them).

My current desktop.

I have a Lion/Windows 7 dual boot on my MBP. I generally only use Windows for games because I am too lazy to set up emulators (and don't have the know-how really), and because there seems to be no Mac program comparable to Paint.

I really like Eric Whitacre's Light and Gold when it comes to modern choral music. He really knows how to use dissonant harmony for effect.

I am still very much interested in playing.

We all left our sanity at the door a long, long time ago.

It's been a long time since I've seen artwork by ET. Congratulations! (I am apparently too generous with scenario reviews, heh)

I remember liking the E3 golem factory better that the A3 golem factory. The A3 graphics didn't work too well for it.

Never have I been so disappointed. My avatar is a pixelated banner drawn in Paint...surely you wouldn't be expecting fan art from me.

I laughed at one of the character portraits you could choose from in AEFTP - a woman with a chain-mail bikini. The previous incarnation had a default Cordelia character with an outrageous dress. I guess that's what happens when a game's players are mostly male.

Unrelated side-note: Creme de Menthe cheesecake tastes weird...especially when you've just had a less than exciting chardonnay.

In order of release: Drive Angry - 2/10: Nicholas Cage has clearly lost his mind and this film is cheesy and over the top. Rango - 6/10: It's a bit drawn out, but otherwise enjoyable. Also, please note that using Ride of the Valkyries in the manner this movie does is an annoying cliche. Battle: Los Angeles - 1/10: If you asked me to name the worst films I had ever seen this would be one of them. The acting is atrocious and the aliens look ridiculous. It's also incredibly boring. It'd be kind of like watching Full Metal Jacket but with Barney instead of Sergeant Hartman and poorly drawn cardboard cutouts in place of actual soldiers. Hanna - 7/10: I liked the fairytale-like element to the movie and the action sequences were well-shot. The plot is a bit confusing though. The Beaver - 9/10: The film has superb acting, which more than compensates for the odd premise. It skillfully alternates between comic relief and drama. There's nothing quite like it. Bridesmaids - 8/10: Who would of thought that a chick flick could be so funny? X-Men: First Class - 6/10: Meh, it was entertaining overall but there were a few problems. Why does Mystique suddenly side with Magneto? Also, it's outrageous that films still throw in black characters who exist purely for the purpose of being killed off. Super 8: 5/10 - Disappointing. If your movie has a conspiracy involving the US government you need to explain it better. Some of the acting is lacking, and what in the world is up with the alien? Another Earth: 6/10 - An interesting play of emotions but could anyone explain the ending? Cowboys and Aliens: 3/10 - If you judged this by its cover then you were right. Lots of Western cliches, cheesy death scenes, subpar acting, and a spaceship explosion that looks suspiciously like the Challenger. Contagion: 5/10 - Umm...no. This movie was way too predictable and the ending is totally not satisfying. A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas: 2/10 - My friends insisted I come along and see this. Not taking movie suggestions from said friends again. Hugo: 7/10 - It's a bit long but still fun. This is the first time I felt 3D was actually worth it too. Martin Scorcese has better movies though (i.e. Taxi Driver).

Click to reveal.. The only problem is that Erika dies in the battle.

Default, because you know, I'm boring like that.

Look for a hidden switch (in the northeast) to get to the concealed Empire base. Inside the base there is a switch on the east wall which reveals the portal to the orb.

You should get a message at some point mentioning you've been in the corridor before. Once you get that message leave the tower and a new message will guide you.

1. Her dialog is a bit confusing. Go through all of the dialog options, the one that allows you to learn spells doesn't necessarily make sense, but hey. 2. Strength affects melee hit chance, not dexterity. Your party can also come across monsters that are much higher-leveled early on. Come back later when you're higher leveled. Also, the blade sweep discipline is dependent on dexterity for some reason (I've read that it's also dependent on the bow being wielded). 3. You learn two levels of a spell from NPC's and one level from spell books. There is a list of spell trainers here and level 3 spellbooks here. The most arcane lore your party needs is 12, or 8 with the Sage Lore trait.

There should be a boat in the southern part of the level. Look for a hidden switch to reveal stairs down to the third level.

It's not even feasible to make 1000000 non-spammy posts in one's lifetime! Even if you could make a post every five or six minutes (without sleeping!) that would still take ten years!

Tocmetone's inventory is correct.

The tooltip in the first version is misleading. Strength affects your chance to hit with a melee weapon, not Dexterity (Dex affects bows and thrown missiles). This can be remedied on the main screen by enabling the character editor. In game press Shift+D and type in "editor" to reallocate all of those dexterity points to strength. Edit: Sniped
