As for even getting addicted to games such as Wow?? I doubt I could as I find just the idea of having to pay to play a game that I've already paid for a complete turn-off. Though, karandras, your how to on quitting was one of the most hilarious things I've read.

Glad you liked it It was quite fun to make up, unfortunately I haven't played fable so I can't make a guide of how to quit that

Okay, nice quote of the day today:

Millions long for immortality who don't know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

I couldn't decide between these two

So Today we had the return of Xertirox, CapsAdmin, Spike4072 and Kalia, a very good day In my opinion (despite the insanity that comes along with mt post)

Oh what the heak, another quote to finish the post (bonus points if you can find all 7 quotes (only 5 are using the quote tag) and even more points that mean noting if you can find the link I messed up on but decided not to change Good luck :

A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trusts either of them.

Just noticed the time, sorry about this being later than normal. My little pre-post nap went on a bit to long (I have always wanted to use that emote...)

@cyborgakadjmoose: Um...it actually looks like she is trying to cut herself with her blade! Other than that shes lovely too!

Yeah...Wow I just noticed that. I guess she'd be into that, being in the Dark Brotherhood and all. I thought she was sorta just caressing the blade or something...I guess it got her creepy side across!

Ryu Doppler:
For the record...this pic is freaking awesome. I love how the bear is caught mid-leap!

Random political statement: What this country needs is more free speech worth listening to.

Got it from a video I watched recently (1^st Episode of Captain S.). It's kinda hard to develop some screenshot titles when I have to censor them for the Bethesda forums, but I get by somehow.

Edit: Now that I think of it, Oregon Trail was the very First game that Ryu ever did appear in!

[Xetirox]

@Xetirox: Wha... do you made that armors??? By the way, great duel!!!

Thanks. No, I didn't make the armors. The Dunmer's is wearing Ice Armor (from Bloodmoon) from Ghogiel's Armory, and the Argonian is wearing Kelryn's Phoenix Equipment.

@Xetirox: A Mastermind!  You don't see many of those character these days!  Well done!

Thanks! Had this guy on reserve for a while, and had the idea for this image for a long time.

Post #22: Really cool picture, I love the reflection in the orb.

Suggestions/questions/answers to questions: How did you get that effect in the orb?

Thanks. As for how I accomplished it, well, that's a bit of a long process in Photoshop. First, we started with the basic screenshot, after a bit of cropping. WIP 0.

1).First, I took this screenshot of mine into Photoshop, cut out a circle of the character, and shrunk small enough to fit within the crystal ball. WIP 1.

2).I decreased the opacity of the layer to 50%, and partially erased the edges with an eraser at 75% opacity to give it a faded effect. WIP 2.

3). Then, I copied the crystal ball, and pasted it in place in a layer above the separate image, and decreased its opacity by 50%, making the image in the ball even more faint, and to give the reflections of light greater power, and intensity, so that they looked as if they were on the surface, and the image was within the crystal. WIP 3.

4). Then, afterward, pulled my usual trick of merging all the layers together and made an adjustment layer, set as a partially transparent Overlay. Usually, I set it at 50%, but this time, it was at 85% to get some more radical-looking lighting changes. Then, I used a partially transparent paintbrush to paint the character, the table, the ball, and throne white, and the rest black, to give an eerie look to the whole thing, as if he's sitting in darkness with only a single glow to light the place up. WIP 4.

5). Then, after merging all those together, I altered the brightness and contrast, giving it a crimson glow, making the light and image really stand out on the ball, and giving it a very sinister-looking crimson light to the entire pic. FINAL IMAGE.

[Chiglet]

@ Shadow', Ryu Doppler, and leomorg - Much thanks, and glad you like. It's sort of, well, me.

As for even getting addicted to games such as Wow?? I doubt I could as I find just the idea of having to pay to play a game that I've already paid for a complete turn-off. Though, karandras, your how to on quitting was one of the most hilarious things I've read.

Glad you liked it It was quite fun to make up, unfortunately I haven't played fable so I can't make a guide of how to quit that

I went and did a little research on Falbe, told my husband about it, and he found it on his way home from work and picked it up. Apparenlty it's not an MMO, which is a good thing. He'll be dealing with that when Conan comes out.

Your welcome and yea i kinda goofed when putting the link it (it is a link to the video I was watching when I was writing the post) and I decided to leave it in for the heak of it

As for Harry Potter it is because that spell shares the same name and exact look of one of the major spells in the Harry Potter series

Thanks Hector. I haven't been playing but I woke up 2:AM with a severe sore throat and the pink eye so I couldn't get to sleep. So I figure spend the rest of the night doing something. So with one eye swollen and half closed I managed to git-er-dun. I may work on her a bit more later. Doing things like that helps me pass the time very quickly. I want her to look more like Amanda Tapping from Stargate SG1 so I will google some pics of her. Who knows what will emerge.
