Impressive.

Out of morbid curiosity, what's the picture in the "Dream Sequences" one from?

I got it from Zak Smith's blog.* It's pretty deep in the archives. I have no idea where he got it and I'm not sure I want to know.

What's this? I'm making more? Why wasn't I informed?

I'm tired of lurking. And I'm out of giant sources to dump from. So here I go, trying to make my own. Apologies if they fail horribly, it's my first attempt.

Magicka. Go play it. It's good.

(Play the demo first though, because it may not work with your computer. Although the demo hasn't been patched like the actual game has, as far as I know...)

What you want to do is put the address of the actual picture, not of the page the picture is on. For the site you were on, if you right-click the picture, it will let you view it in different sizes. Pick the largest one, then if you right click on THAT picture, it should give you the option to "View Image" or "Copy Image Location". You can either click copy location, or to be on the safe side click view image (make sure you can see it OK) and then copy the address. Add that to the IMG tag on the thread, and it should work just fine.

How many popular characters have run through nearly all the alignments anyway? The ones I've come across that seemed legit in reasoning have been Zuko, Lelouch di Brittannia and Batman. (Funnily enough all three also have similarities in personal background, especially the latter two.)
