Looks like a picture of a skyscraper on fire being photographed through the window of a car at street level a block and a half away.

...Or is it?

Is this a mystery now? If so, I wondered at first if it had something to do with testing links on the wiki.

If I have time, I'm in for this one. Are corpses OK too?

As an avowed fan of all things dieselpunk and aviation, I'm happy with the direction this is going.

That's why she's an anti-hero.

I always run into some issues with this myself, but the first step is (and someone will correct me if I'm wrong) to go to Image>Mode>Indexed Color.

The one problem I can foresee, and it's only because I had this problem with my human sprite and everyone here was kind enough to point it out to me, is that it's going to be difficult to have this character move with a sense of balance. If you look at, especially the side profile, all of the character's weight is in the front -- he'd (she'd?) topple. It might work out just fine in your game though. When you say bend the tail, do you mean in like an "L" shape? That would solve the issue when the character is at rest.

What a fascinating design!

The one on the right looks better to me. You might want to find a website with one of those monitor calibration routines to ensure same results across multiple computers.

As to the arm in the pocket on the side view -- looks like the arm is much more relaxed in the front view. Maybe drop the elbow a little, and smooth out some of the muscle definition?

Well, unless someone else used the footage, I'm pretty sure that's Sam Neill in the underrated Omen III, but now that we have an unofficial branch, I'm not sure what to do. Ball's still in Aqala's court, I believe.

I also use Dreamhost for most of my projects, and also mostly because I got a pretty good deal years ago. I've not been 100% satisfied with them, but haven't been dissatisfied enough to go through the trouble of moving all of my sites (and their accompanying databases) to another host.

Most of the companies promise around 99.9% uptime, but fall a little less than that. Dreamhost seems to have one-day outages twice a year for me. Unfortunately, these seem to happen on the worst possible days for me. Their customer service is always quick to respond, though, and they keep me happy afterward.

Michael Caine's telltale curls get lost in the banner behind him, and this profile makes him look more like Richard Dreyfuss, but this is probably Gambit, huh?

I think Ponch meant one of the 60s Helms films -- The Silencers, Murderer's Row, The Wrecking Crew, The Ambushers. They were light comedies. The new Helm film will hopefully draw more from the Hamilton source material, which was dark and brilliant.

I'm guessing it's probably not, but is this Banco à Bangkok pour OSS 117?

Last night, I gave Nancy the Happy Whore my best. A delightful little game, with Sam n' Max style wackiness. I finished without a walkthrough nor without having to sling my stuff. I feel as though there were some references I didn't get -- like the name of the gas station, for instance. I hope Susie manages to get off the stuff and that

I didn't kill that snake
