Can anyone identify the ornamental font used for headings in the Truckee Games http://sites.google.com/site/engineofth ... ects=0&d=1]Future Imperfect mini-setting? (http://sites.google.com/site/engineofthwaak/8]source page) I haven't had any luck in finding a circle-based, gribbly yet readable font, and this one scores high on all three.

"Anko, what you do in your free time is your own choice. Use it wisely. And if you do not use it wisely, make sure you thoroughly enjoy whatever unwise thing you are doing." - HymnOfRagnorok as Orochimaru at SpaceBattles
woot Med. Eng., verb, 1st & 3rd pers. prsnt. sg. know, knows

Oh Pat, Pat, Pat; you festering boil on the pristine, sir-mixalot approved backside of rational thought.  You, who are such a dedicated arse-clown that you have to peel back your cheeks goatse style, just so we can see your mouth.
Pat, you utter douche.  Today you made me laugh.  Not a belly laugh.  Not a thin, lipped snicker.  A laugh of utter disbelief that combined elements of 'Did he just say that?' with "He did just say that without a single whiff of irony - or rational thought."

Here is Pat on Halloween.

Quote:Meeuwsen: This is Ken, he says ‘Pat, it may sound
odd, but Halloween is one of the biggest events at my church. Every
year, we host one of the area’s largest haunted houses. They say it’s a
great outreach to the unsaved community, but it’s starting to irk me. I
feel really unsettled by the fact that our church has a Haunted House.
What are your thoughts?’

Robertson: I agree with you, we need the power of
God not some kind of ersatz entertainment. We don’t believe in haunted,
we don’t believe in ghosts, we don’t believe in all this business.

Quote:
Meeuwsen: You don’t celebrate it.

Robertson: Halloween is Satan’s night, it’s the night for the devil. It’s All Hallow’s Eve but its time when witches and goblins—

Meeuwsen: Ok that’s evident in the kinds of things that are for sale.

Robertson: Of course, it’s out there. Its skeletons
and all this, like the dead rising. Churches shouldn’t do that, you
should do something else besides having a haunted house. I’m sure it’s
popular, it is probably a big deal, people come to get scared, you’ve
got spiders and cobwebs and all that. But—you can bob for apples, you
can do all kind of different things and have a big party.

Beverly Perdue, Governor of North Carolina, has managed to stick her foot in it:

Governor Perdue Wrote:"You have to have more ability from Congress, I think, to work
together and to get over the partisan bickering and focus on fixing
things. I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for
two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever
decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I
really hope that someone can agree with me on that. The one good thing
about Raleigh is that for so many years we worked across party lines.
It's a little bit more contentious now but it's not impossible to try to
do what's right in this state. You want people who don't worry about
the next election."

It is scheduled to air in December, 3 months from now.  Anime News Network stories here and here.

Yui Aragaki will be playing Akane.  Female Ranma will be played by Natsuna, and Kento Kaku will be playing male Ranma.  The second link above has more casting information, including the fathers.

The official page at NTV for the production can be found here.  It has pics of all the confirmed cast, and I have to say, Natsuna seems perfect.  Rumiko Takahashi appears to be involved with the production, which is always a good sign.

I can only hope that the fansubbers are gearing up for this one -- but I wouldn't be surprised if Viz already has a lock on bringing it across the Pacific.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

.....I found something that doesn't work for Freemiums: Crafted enhancements. Was that mentioned anywhere?

Just a quick heads up for the few of us that bother to go over to the official forums...
There is some interesting discussion going on over on the official forums about some changes to the regs over there... Details here.
Long and the short: Same as over here: Behave, be smart, and everything's cool. No talking of exploits or other nonsense. And remember the T rating.
They are also doing a bit of reshuffling.

Just went live, Players can now use the new Circle of Thorns costum packs, 400 PP points.
Have Fun, I know I will

Lyrics:
Tired and frozen
I'm under your spell
I thought I knew you
But now I know you well
I wake up beside you
Move across your killing floor
I need my freedom and I see an open door
The room is getting smaller and the walls are closin' in
No one's leavin' and nobody's gettin' in

I try to run
I try to hide
I try to tell you what I'm feelin' inside
Should I stay
Should I go
You know I wanna touch you
But there's nothing left to hold

Don't chain my heart
Don't chain my soul
Don't chain my heart
'Cause you got to let it go

Looks like trouble
The signs are everywhere
I bend a little but you take more than your share
Crimes of passion
Crimes of mortal men
It's a deadly attraction and I won't be fooled again, baby
The storm is coming
The winds begin to rise
Please release me from this house of compromise

All day
All night
Your love is like an outlaw waiting till the time is right
Nobody's wrong
No one's to blame
Maybe it's just too hot because we're standin' in the flame

Don't chain my heart
Don't chain my soul
Don't chain my heart
'Cause you got to let it go

I'm a victim of your pain and jealousy
I feel like a prisoner and you hold the lock and key
We lost our vision
We lost our paradise
But there's still a part of me I refuse to sacrifice

[Instrumental break]

I try to run
I try to hide
I need to tell you what I'm feelin' inside, baby
Should I stay
Should I go
You know I wanna touch you
But there's nothing left to hold

Don't chain my heart
Don't chain my soul
Don't chain my heart
'Cause you got to let it go
[repeats 2x]

Power: gives chances like "Good Morning" gives wake up checks to break emotion control or free bound spirits. Of course, some spirits are bound for very good reasons...

Doesn't actually fit the characters so well, or I'd have stuck it in Videos of the Day or Plotpony, but the lipsynch job and scene choice is impressive.



As a candidate for powers, the basic effect is obvious enough- within his area of effect, gravity becomes Doug's bitch. The twist is if he can get another reality-controller to work with him in the same volume, acting together everything is their bitch, at godlike levels. That doesn't mean that doing things like raising the dead or unmaking a badguy won't have repercussions, but they can do it, and until the song ends no other mortal power can stop them. Kind of an overpowered effect, granted, but Doug has a severe allergy to annoying divinities (he calls it "enjoying not being a grease stain under a farmhouse") so it is its own disincentive for abusing that high gear.

Last year, the Make A Wish Foundation put forth an effort beyond amazing to allow a boy with cancer to be a superhero. On September 16, he passed away.
NC Soft really needs to do something with this. Would someone on the CoX boards pass it on?
