...it's a good, clever song, and I can't think of anything less broken for it to do.

If I remember correctly, Doug doesn't understand Latin, so the original "Libera me" being sung in the song won't have any effect. The rap,
however...

I'm thinking that the laws of physics, the guidelines of what is and isn't possible, become more like suggestions. With an act of will, anybody inside
the AoE can 'do the impossible'; the more impossible whatever they try is, the more willpower is required.

...if translations for the "Rocket Girls" light novels are available anywhere on the Web? I've been looking for them on and off since we saw the
anime, and so far have had no luck.

Thanks.

Picked it today for $20 off of Steam. It's a zero-G shooter set in the mid-21st century after an explosion on the moon sets two groups (the International
Space Agency and the MMC, I can't remember what it stands for) against each other. A lot of fun, if disorienting at times, and very very pretty. It's
multiplayer only, although considering the amount of backstory that's given during the loading screens the setting could be pretty sweet for a single
player game should Futuremark decide to do one. Sadly, it's DX10 only, so you need either Vista or Windows 7.

One of the cycling quotes on the front page is spelled incorrectly. This wouldn't be a big deal, but it kills the palindrome.

I've got an idea for a little bit of Flash animation for my website, and I've been looking around for free/open source Flash authoring tools to try my
hand at. However, a little research turns up a goodly number of them. I was wondering if anyone had any preferences or recommendations before I pick one.
Thanks!

so after trying the new X-mas event, this is how it works in a nut shell
---

winter lord pops up in paragon, when he;s deffeted theres a presnt left behind

when the timer on thats clicks down, you can enter his domain

as you fight him, when he hit's 75%, 50% and 25% he phases and sumons a GM

once you have deffeted all that, you get a chance to leave or, if there was to many, a second room set up, so hen your done with your lord, you an go there and get the second one

all this is aginst a clock
when the clock runs out, you are then dumped in Atlas (blue) or Mercy (red)
and for killing the Winter lord, you get 20 candy canes, some merits, a badge and a brand new [holiday cheer]
this will be a fun christmas

(edit) due to lag it's multi posted, can soem one delet the extras?
