This could be related to stress - meaning you've been breathing fast and shallow for a long time, without really noticing. Any back/shoulder pains, like muscle aches?

Apart from being a silly topic, shouldn't this be in "Popular Threads"?

PS: Thora Birch

I second the sentiments about Dungeons and Dragons. That is one sh*thole of a movie. But my vote for "really awfully bad but nevertheless very enjoyable movie" goes to:

The Lair of the White Worm

Bagpipers! Hugh Grant!

ProMotion and GrafX2 are Windows programs that are pretty "d-painty". But there's a version of DPaint for windows as well. Good luck finding it!

Me like it! it sounds very professional... great guitar playing as well!

I've known a number of (clinically) depressed people, and the only advice I can give you is to step away. You can't help your friend, nobody can but he himself. Tell him that and make sure he understands.
If you really care about him (and it seems you do) just let him know you're there, and that you're a friend. Good luck with this, as it can be tough to see someone you care for in so much (self inflicted) pain.

... long and interesting post full of valuable points ...

It had never occurred to me (and it still boggles my mind) that the White House and the Pentagon didn't have a detailed and realistic plan for what to do once they had captured Baghdad, and made preparations just as carefully for the occupation as they did for the invasion. I mean, who does that?! Who thinks "Once we've captured the country everything will be OK. We can just wing it from there"? Unforgivable.

Well that I simply do not believe. If you have the resources, the manpower and the logistical know-how to undertake such a vast invasion I simply WILL NOT buy the idea that you haven't planned for what happens after.
Whatever is happening in Iraq at the moment - as chaotic as it may seem - has been foreseen and planned. I'm absolutely convinced of that.

Ehm - could be me, but weren't the 20 (alleged) Twin Towers terrraaarrrists American citizens?

No, they bloody well weren't! And the "(alleged)" is pretty pointless, as there is no serious doubt as to which passengers were responsible.

I can't tell you how pissed off I get when people propagate myths, misconceptions and conspiracy theories without even bothering to look up the simplest facts.

Whoa, keep your pants on! I was wrong, and indeed thinking of the London bombers (who WERE British citizens). My bad - sorry.
By the way - the "alleged" is a matter of opinion. You have yours, I have mine.

This is a boring spiral... It's a bit annoying to see the same old stuff in every thread with the world "USA" in it, no matter if the topic really is about taxes, vaccines, MTV or bright advertisements. Please, do stop.

Why don' t we make a sticky topic? It could start with "The classical 20 anti american arguments" ("America is the capitalist-zionist-imperialist entity, blah, blah...").

Then might come the 20 sentences that the "God bless USA" guys use to reply with (Something quite fscist, like "We saved your ass in Normandie, fucking retarded Europeans!") or something in that direction...

Then a bit that the "Cool americans" use to mention ("We are not Bush, my dad fought against the invassion of Vietnam blah, blah...")

Then the classical reply the most anti-americans die hard people use to say ("But you choose Bush, therefore you all are idiots")

Then we close the topic, and we go on with something NEW.

Thanks.

Yes please!

One reason why I hate the so-called 'Great' Britannia, because they let anyone in. Even vicious bombers.

Sure, America is young. That gives "America" every right to do mistakes. This may sound ridiculious to you, but...

America is not making decisions!

It's politicians are making decisions, not America! And these politicians are just the same as in Europe (corrupt, incompetent, ignoring the public will).

Whoa yeah ... you ARE right. My excuses; I didn't mean that Americans are thick (well - SOME are) but the American government makes up for this by being uber-thick. imho.

America is still a young country and we must be learning from all of Europe's mistakes.

What? and you learn by making the same mistakes again? sounds a little thick to me...

Don't be ridiculous GG, everyone knows bombs only explode when they have wires sticking out of them.

Unless - of course - Jack Bauer happens to be in the area...

Not competing, but I did make something YEARS ago that is oddly appropriate:

Awesome work! - can I ask how these were made?

The only slight "issue" I have with the second image (the "side view") is that the doorway is very dark - it would seem that it should be possible to look in more...

I think that to make it look better (not that it looks bad) you need to focus on two things when designing for such a low resolution:

- use as few colours as possible
- avoid any extraneous details

I would like to do a paintover, but it won't be today ...

[tanks]

Thanks ahead of time!

Shouldn't that be tanks ahead of time?

By the way - the base looks great already!

Paintover?

Totally...

Nice pictures - awesome find, Helm.

Is that ... Xena?
