Anything by Two Steps From Hell. I am so in love with them, listen to them all the time. On the way to work, cooking dinner, gaming - it makes everything three times more epic. Song for every mood.

First playthrough: No ritual, told Loghain where to stick it. Then realied that Alistair would have to die. Cried like a baby. Second playthrough: No ritual, told Loghain to stay, Alistair left because of this, my character became king and Loghain died. (win-win. I hated Loghain.) Third...

League of Legends. Mostly toxic community, so many trolls and people are such sore losers/bad winners. I always vow to "never play again" ... 24 hours later I'm back in the Summoner's Rift. It's a curse.

Not sure if it's tragic as it could've easily been prevented - but Alistair from Dragon Age: Origins. Sacrificed himself to save my character. Never blubbed so much in my life over a video game. >_> Alistair was probably one of the most lovable characters in an RPG I've come across yet, hence...

So I found out my Photoshop key has been revoked (well done me) so I had to use Fireworks as my last resort for my first piece. Hey... at least it wasn't paint. Anyway, I just tried a simple line portrait of my Guild Wars 2 character (although I wish she'd be a more still model! :P) to begin...

Thanks for the replies, they've been really helpful! I've got tomorrow off uni and no work so I will get down to business tomorrow afternoon, with luck. :) Who knows, I might post my first ever digital creation for a bit of critique. ;)

Thanks for the replies! I've already got Photoshop installed, just need to find the time to sit down and install the tablet and get used to it. I know how to use Photoshop fairly well, just not with a tablet. And I'm doing this for fun, mainly. I'm not allowed to paint at home (the joys of...

Not sure if this would be better in off-topic or advice but I'll post it here anywho, as it is asking for some tips! :) I've bought myself a graphics tablet and I'm really wanting to start some digital painting. Problem: I have no idea where to begin. I've looked at some tutorials and that on...

Have you tried searching for companionship online? Humm, yes, it may sound a little 'sad' or 'cliche', take your pick, but it really does work. I've met some of the most amazing people via forums and games (WoW, mainly), people I've been friends with for many years now and hang out with IRL...

I've often wondered if eventually they'll never be any need for human actors. One day it may all just be CGI, and looking back we'll all say 'you wouldn't notice the difference'! It'd remove the need for casting, behind-the-scenes drama, and you could pretty much just design the characters...

There's plus sides to both, really. What matters most is that both are happy in the relationship - it takes two to tango, and all that jazz. I've never stayed with anyone just for their sake, that would just be odd. It'd feel like I was mothering them or something. o_o

"Definitely The Red One; The sad tale of the indecisive."

I'll go with a 4 on my self-loathing eat-all-the-food-in-the-house days, and a reasonable 6.8 on a good day. Maybe maxing at 7.5 when I'm going out and have spent forever doing my hair and face.

When RPGs have chairs/doors you can't sit on or open. It just seems so... wrong. Not to mention I have an OCD about half-open doors. The chairs I can live with. But not the doors.

I'm pretty much in the same 'pool' as you. I thought WoW was the dogs bollocks for the last seven years of playing. It has everything I want in a game - variety, character customisation, cool pets, pretty areas, places to explore: but all the things I like in WoW were never achievements, oh no...
