Our little screenshotshot competition took a wild turn when AhmNee & Hizzow offered some real sexy stuff as prizes. But, and i quote, we are going to "make people work at this contest for it". Ships like the Harpy, Hawk, Coercer and a Trasher don't come for free.
So whoop, there it is. Pick up your old/new/posted screenshots and put some funny in it. You don't have to be a Photoshop guru or comedian to do this. Just add something witty and be done with it. One word can do the trick.
Example:
Before: http://img102.imageshack.us/my.php?image=20070817045457fe3.png
After: http://home.orange.nl/neessen/mine.jpg
Tip: if you import the image into Powerpoint add t text and other stuff and then save as JPEG, you can do fun stuff without much work.
TLDR: post EVE-lols and score phat ships.

Just finished this. Beautiful animation and sound. I'm confused though as to whether or not I am supposed to assume that reality and dreams actually merged at the end as was alluded to. Baby Paprika just eats up everything from the dreams, it shows the destroyed city, and then Tasito wakes up.
Might take another watch to figure the rest of my questions out, but it's definitely worth it. Kinda with I had ate some fungn{u}ns before watching.

I'm going to be buying a new sound card here soon and was wondering if anyone has any personal recommendations. My #1 concern is good drivers and just another note I don't buy Creative cards.

The dual format hddvd+dvd could have made a pretty good impact once movie prices dropped down. Just because someone buys a blu-ray/hddvd does not mean they will have one in their laptop, or kids room, or 2nd tv in the game room or in mom's yukon.
I really think having both hd dvd and dvd on the same disc could have really helped. Unless blu-ray puts a dvd in the package of course but I am not sure that would happen

And for some reason I get bluescreens in Oblivion when above 4xAA. Always the same nv4_disp.dll or some shit message error message. In addition, I can't get fan profiles for the GT workin at all. Stock is 29%, so it's that or you have to force a constant speed which means a toss up between a noisy system and a blazing hot card runnin at 85C

So I haven't posted any pics of Fiddle since she got her collar off back around Thanksgiving so here are some of her enjoying a new toy at Christmas.
Basically, its some really hard plastic wheels with a bell inside, and it drove her nuts. She usually tries (well, succeeds actually) to take the squeaker out of soft toys, but this noisemaker she couldn't crack. But she didn't try to take the noisemaker out at first, instead she would nudge it with her nose, making the bell start to ring, then she'd run around it and bark at it. This behavior makes me proud, because she's working it, just as she would work a mouse, rat, groundhog, etc, outside.

One funny thing was talking to all the guys there. There were only 2 reasons people started Krav Maga. 1 was the Bourne films, and the other was the Human Weapon episode. Everyone felt like a dick admitting it, but it was the same reason throughout.
