Peril

There is a book you should pick up called Drawing on the Right side of the Brain
It has some really great exercises and explanations of how to see.

Uh about $1500 to 2500....

That's why I got a Graphire.

BUt yeah I would LOVE one. But I have been looking at Tablet PC's but I doubt they're anywhere as good as an actual tablet or even a Cintiq.

Actually I tested some of the new Toshiba tablet PCs and while they dont have as much screen area as the Cintiq and lack some of the pressure sensitivity (still 512 levels is pretty good), they are are really good choice for in the field work. I may get one later when the battery life and screen size increase. They would be really great to brainstorm with a client by throwing out a few sketches on the fly and are a decent workstation to boot. Most of the pen tablet notebook tech is a Wacom software client (Penabled) and have a good reputation in the graphic design/CAD groups I work with.

I just moved on to
a Cintiq you can draw directly on the screen. I cant begin to tell you how much faster it is. Its just like having a magic sketchpad that can do anything. The best part is I get to write it off on my taxes as a business expense

When company comes over you say "Another Visitor! Stay awhile....STAY FOREVER! A HA HA HA HA!"

You are scared of sea horses because they look like that darn dragon from Adventure.

Despite having owned an NES, SNES, Playstation, and Dreamcast, you still think of gamepads as "them new-fangled controller thingies" and miss the days when all you needed was a joystick and maybe MAYBE a paddle.

You wish there were more games with vector graphics.

You see an arcade machine and wince at the fact that you can almost never find one that costs less than 75 cents to play, and certainly never find one that still costs a quarter.

I couldnt play anything with the gamepad for the longest time...
Did you ever have to put a heavy object(I used a big book) to press down on the controller input where it went into the Atari to get the joystck to work again?
Did anyone get a calus on their hand from playing "Decathalon"...you had to move the joystick back and forth as fast as possible to make the character go fast.

Nothing is ever too long to make fun of someone. I found that list of yours hilarious, did you make it up yourself or did you find it somewhere?

Peril read through the responses of the posting he made earlier....
He initially felt bad for pasting the form letter response he had found elsewhere to the hero's request that non-roleplay items be kept out of the roleplaying forum, but on reflection he thought it justified.
After all, even trolls need to be fed.

Mr. Malice
While I LOATHE listening to anyone else but the dominant voice in my mind, I have given your guide a brief glance (or two).
I must say that much of what you have given I will use..and use against you in my conquests.
((Very nice!!! I just rolled MM mech/forcefield to see what it was like and I am going to make it my main!! Your guide gives me a great idea of what to expect..thanks!!))

Not that our votes really count in the electoral college anyway...besides I have it on good authority that as sweet as CuppaJo seems to be she has the Superadine market west of Talos..(itsa not a real election till we get some super powered mud-slinging on)

They have invaded to watch the leaves change color..

I have seen Wolfpack bots in lower level areas even today..

you must be like that guy from A Beautiful Mind...do you look for things like this in everything?? (I do it too..but most of the time its because of my...condition lol)

It could never work. This riddle thing would be cool but it would lead to broadcast spam of "WHATS ANSWER TO SPHINX RIDDLE??". After the riddle had been solved it would be posted on the boards for bragging rights. Or someone would just blurt it out over broadcast in the game. It would have to be something that would be unique to each player for it to work that way and I doubt that will ever happen. I am guessing it will be a "you have found a Tsoo password that can let you in a warehouse" or somesuch. A create your own story arc if you will.

you can invite people into your team from a distance by typing /i <charactername>....

the invisibilty power from the concealment power pool will NOT protect you from an enemy once you have agroed it!! You can however walk around unmolested in missions where you have to find x and not have to arrest everything...simply get to the object and click on it.
And if you havent had this happen to you..DONT USE THE ABILITY REST NEAR ENEMIES!! if you are hit by anything you will DIE!! (and using Phase Shift will not save you from this!!)
