Idea: Those making the graphics for games could take a lesson from old movies. Classic shots like waves crashing on the beach or a train going into a tunnel were powerful & effective ways of telling the audience what was going on (even before they became clichés). This wouldn't avoid the...

Seconded. EDIT: There may not be music for this, but dammit, there should be: "Storm'd at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell, They that had fought so well Came thro' the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of Hell, All that was left of them, Left of six hundred."

Sexuality should have a place in games. Hopefully, as the art progresses, mature & thoughtful sexuality will have a central place in some games. Being an interactive experience, I like to think that video games could one day create even deeper & more fascinating explorations of human sexuality...

Wow, the government shouldn't have to protect us from the CRTC. Yet, this is not the first time it's happened, either.

Gotta love a man who said of himself, "I am in fact a Hobbit (in all but size)." I feel much the same about myself.

I've just done some checking, and you can find the story of Angmar in two different sections of Appendix A of the Lord of the Rings. OT: Looking through Appendix A, I see that Arnor eventually split into three separate kingdoms, of which only one had a Dunedain king after a few generations...

It's said that Sauron held a lot of sway among men who lived south of Gondor and east of Mordor; most of the humans in his army are described as Southrons and Easterlings. I would speculate, therefore, that many, perhaps all, of the Nazgul came from these regions, which are outside the map...

Oh God, I can't unread it!

There is one style of onion that has been ignored here: pickled! Sour or sweet, they can't be beat! If I make it, it stands about a 90% chance of containing onions. I chop 'em real fine just so my roommate can't pick 'em out, heh heh heh.

Public service announcement to the non-British: a "stone" is 14 lbs, so 9 st is 126 lbs. Seriously guys, get with the metric system! Powers of 10 are not as difficult as they may seem! OT: Sex: Male Me trying: Hells no Why: I choose life Others trying: Not gonna stop you, but will...

Excuse me, "basically borderline?" What's borderline about having sex with someone who is clearly confused or unconscious? It may be irresponsible to get that drunk, but that does NOT make it "the drunk's fault" that he or (let's face it, we really mean) she got raped. That's like saying it's...

I see the button to report an inappropriate comment. Where do I go to report something for being TOTALLY AWESOME? OT: I am in favour of boobs just as much as I am in favour of the rest of the female anatomy. Which is very.

When I'm drunk, I'm in love with everybody! Except for YOU, Adrian.

I agree with the guy (or girl) who said it was the staff. It was definitely the staff. The person with the staff is always the healer, and a girl. I know this is true because TVTropes said so. I picked jerky & ranged weapons & I got magic sunshine-wielding girl too.

Be that as it may, a solid wooden (Japanese-style) practice sword is indeed called a bokken, or alternatively, a bokto. Don't worry about it. It's really late where I am & I'm just a little grumpy.
