A Land Far Away

I agree with you Swift. Whimsyshire made me laugh out loud the whole time. Loved it.

Diablo 3 has been underwhelming thusfar for me. I am in Act 1 Hell. The difficulty has been just about right but I am afraid that the game will lack the longevity of its predecessor. The character customization systems are absolutely atrocious and itemization is lackluster. Rarely have I ever found ...

Pleeeeeeeeeeeease. Playing a gnome is almost unbearable now.

I personally love playing multiple characters for freshness sakes. However, if something like Thang's and oldgrayrogue proposes were ever to come about in ALFA, wouldn't that eliminate the ability of DMs to ever do cross-server plots? Or, when your entire group of well-established adventure mates de...

As for the "courts shouldn't overturn the will of the people" argument I couldn't disagree more strongly. If only this worked. As I see it now, pretty much only progressive liberal social agendas get upheld while those who hold conservative ones have to suck it up because the courts decid...

What does Leviticus have to say? Yeah what does it say about being gay? To lie with men is an abomination like cursing your parents trimming your beard planting wheat and barley in the same furrow eating pork wearing polyester and masturbation. And what did Jesus have to say? Yeah what did he say a...

why isn’t it discriminatory to Mormons and Muslims to require that it remain between two people? As a "Mormon", I would just like to point out that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is in no way related to the FLDS polygamous sects that broke away from the religion over a hu...

All I point out is that you would never put a male soldier in with female soldiers - why? Potential harrassment, discipline issues, as well as making the female soldiers uncomfortable. (note: I am not talking about the actual work-environment, limiting my scope to barracks/boot, mainly. Work environ...

While I am not going to enter into an argument about stereotyping or statistics: Just because in a infantry company you might have 5-10 idiots (who may or may not be Southern) that, because of various reasons (maybe or maybe not their Southern heritage), would be willing to do something untoward a h...

+1 except for the blatant stereotyping of brave men and women who are in the military as "backwards", "rednecks", and "hicks" (amongst other things written). Having lived on military bases for over 16 years, I can testify that most are average to bright and are in the m...

How many times has your average manager at a bank, restaurant, school, etc. come up and asked you about your sexuality? Zero times? How many times have you made an issue about your sexuality at work at the bank, restaurant, school, etc? Zero times? So, this policy is literally just an anti-drama pol...

Would they let me sleep and shower in the women's facilities, then? Straight men shouldn't be forced to live communally with gay men just as women shouldn't be forced to live communally with heterosexual men. It isn't so much discrimination against the homosexual person, it's also protecting the pri...

Camera setup for cutscenes is a PITA.

Name that band/song:

Hey j-j-jaded
In all it's misery
It will always be what I love and hated
And maybe take a ride to the other side
We're thinkin' of
We'll slip into the velvet glove
And be jaded

For the fountain, if you get the water height just right, you can actually fill the first and second tier (well, the second isn't full, but it has water). There is then a circular cascading water fountain FX that can be resized and placed in the top tier, to make a believable effect. (more later) As...
