But it is quite blatently an attempt to draw porn, rather than draw a nude-female.

There is a difference?

This one was pretty cruel:

Two-Headed Ogres Added as a Playable Race in World of Warcraft - 04/01/04
It's official: Blizzard Entertainment is proud to announce that Two-headed Ogres are now a playable race in World of Warcraft, our upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Giving two separate players simultaneous control of a single body, this new race introduces a unique cooperative gaming experience never before attempted. See them for yourself in this exclusive preview, which includes the first available screenshots and an exciting first look at the innovative new game mechanics. Current beta testers should expect to see this new content added in the coming weeks.

By selecting the Two-headed Ogre race, you are selflessly choosing to share your existence in World of Warcraft with another player. That is, you are staking claim to one half of the Ogre whole. As a Two-headed Ogre, you will have control of one head and one arm at all times. Your other half will be controlled by a second player automatically and permanently paired with you upon character creation…

It sounded sooo cool - and turns out be a prank.

A bit more expensive - at $7.95 per month - is hosting at www.hostrocket.com, but you get A LOT for that kind of money ... 50GB bandwidth, 1GB storage, PHP, MySQL etc. Worth checking out if you run a somewhat busier website...

I 2nd that. Would also be nice if it could double as a smoke plugin... Anyone up for that? Anyone?
I used to program some in Pascal (and Basic, but that doesn't really count) back in the DOS-days, and I don't think it should be too hard to make one... (I'm propably full of shit, but who cares)

Or - even better - a simple particle plugin. That might make water, fire, smoke, sparks, etc possible. And it would be a variation on the rain/snow plugin ... so it should be quite easy...

Speaking of the plugins - it would be nice to have a "fog" plugin as well. But then, I can't program. So it's only a nice idea I'm afraid...

It's a pretty sad world we live in ... enough said.  :'(

Ok ... first time I got f*cking motion sickness from an interview ... ever!
Congrats though, miss Clarke, the jewel case looks pretty pro! (not to mention the school uniforms - but we've been over those before).  

Well, finally the win32 version of Grafx2:

It's a DP like 256 colour painter, ideal for pixel graphics.

As I use only DOS version, I don't know how this win32 version performs anyway.

I've tried this and it is great - very much like the Amiga DPaint - I felt right at home in no time.

I'd go for the low-budget ones Wacom are making these days: http://www.my-volito.com/uk/index.html
They only cost 59 Euro ... but they may not be available in the States ...

(Edit) - But I just read that you're in the UK - so no problems there...

hehe - can you say "Silent Hill"?  

these might help:

does anyone have any trouble, me putting this picture into my sig?

REALLY BIG PICTURE

I think lots and lots of people will have trouble with it - because it's so damn huge. Nice picture btw.  

There was apparently some 50 gospels floating around in the 2nd century, including those purported to be written by Mary Magedelene and Judas.

Whilst there's other evidence that suggests that there was a split in the early church between Paul's followers and the disciples/christ's family [including Jacob and James, who mysteriously dissapeared from the catholic endorsed bible in the 1500's]/magdelene it would be interesting to see whether the stories in Paul's gospels, where the apostles are shown as total idiots, Magedelene as a prostitute and Judas a traitor, are political jabs against rival leaders of the emerging church who, unlike Paul, had the advantage of knowing Christ during the time of his teachings.

Also - Paul was a wealthy Roman citizen, who had big plans for Christianity, but could only execute these plans if he carefully selected and rewrote passages in the scripture to make them "digestible" to the Roman public and leaders. In fact; Christianity (homophobia and all) as we know it today is based on Paul's version of it. Read some of the books by Michael Baigent and learn some interesting facts, kids ...  

Oh yeah - and hurray for San Francisco indeed. It's a lovely city.

THE WORST - Zombieville

I wholeheartedly agree - Zombieville is a f*cking travesty of a game. But not really an adventure game ... worst adventure game I've played is "Tlon". Oh and "Return to Rama" is pretty bad as well...
