  [Meta] Galaxy Express 999
Posted by: robkelk - 01-07-2010, 02:22 AM - Forum: Fenspace - Replies (5)

I've been looking for public-domain images to put in the FenWiki, and noticed that "Galaxy Express 999.jpg" was still wanted. Who's the bright boy who specified she was originally a Victorian Railways H Class Steam Locomotive? (Apparently, they only ever built the one, and http://www.steamtrainartist.com/image_s ... L1058.html]the only image I can find of it is definitely not in the public domain.)

Does she have to be H Class? There are plenty of photos of Victorian Railways R Class and Victorian Railways G Class trains in the Wikimedia Commons...

  [Forum Game] Altered movie quotes
Posted by: Foxboy - 01-06-2010, 05:53 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (35)

Okay this is a bit of silliness that I came up with at random:
Take a movie quote and change it so that the character is either moonlighting or has a different job altogether.
I'll start with:

Quote: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You ordered the chicken carbonara. Prepare to DINE!
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''

Got the Assault on Black Reach boxed set for Christmas, and I thought I'd share some of my painting successes.

Later I'll photograph and upload some of the other units I've gotten done... All in all, though, I'm rather pleased at how well it turned
out.

This should come to the surprise of no one, but...

In September, I allowed my last 6-month renewal to kick in, under the assumption that if I wasn't playing the game again by January, I was done.

And that's true. I'm done.

It was fun. I've been subscribed for more than 60 months, and played for at least 40 of them. Best MMO experience I've ever had. But I'm kind of
int he place where I just can't devote that kind of effort to a single experience that never changes. There's just nothing to keep me interested, with
all sorts of other shiny/new games kicking around, not to mention my new PS3 and the Steam Holiday sale that abused the heck out of my wallet.

Hasta, all.

There is a project. I'm told it's worthy.Seems
they need a good deal of money, quickly, to actually get it off the ground.

It's not really relevant to my own interests, but perhaps others here would find it more compelling?
