Favorite Elder Scrolls:Oblivion Cities

fav oblivion cities: (per web surveys and forums)(in order of most to least favorite) NOTE: SPOILER ALERT!! DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED OBLIVION YET! Anvil Skingrad *Imperial City Cheydenhall Bruma Chorrol Bravil leyawin here's my opinions on those cities: Anvil-Cheapest house that is really neat. I love the look of it.I like the architecture. I don't like the sailor vibe of it. Way too bright for my photophobic vampire char. Skingrad-very good building layouts, they use maximum square footage. Nice style. But it is too dense to feel comfy in and the layout is strange *Imperial City-It's imperial and a city-but where's the bustle! it's a capital city so it should be very lively and crowded! No life there. seems static Cheydenhall-Dark brotherhood FTW!!!, nice buildings too, but it seems like this was the first city they done becuase the buildings look huge but the insides are way too small for what the buildings look like. t

simtropolis: are you going to buy cities xl??

A half of a city-buillder game where you gotta pay monthly to gain access to features the game should have had in the first place is beyond me. It is pretty hard to support a company that puts making money and jumping on the 'web 2.0' social bandwagon over ,making a decent game. I am surely dissapointed. I was whole heartedly trying to like this game. I honestly tried to like it. But you can only be so nice before you start lying to yourself. I guess the recent cream of crop "accessible" games have made the industry brain dead and make crappy games all in the need to be 'accessible' the the dumbed down masses that play WoW and still need quest help even though the game totally walks you through it and even has the exclamation marks and question marks for start and end quests.... and having sparklies where the quest item is....... if that does not tell you anything about how dumbed down the masses of players are right now than the gaming industry is at

Woah check this out! First ever 3D movie EVER!!! attempted in 1978!

Image
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Works_(film) The Works was to be the first entirely 3D computer animated film, created by the Computer Graphics Lab, but it was never completed. The name was inspired by the original meaning of the word "robot", which means "work" in many Slavic languages. It was started in either 1978 or 1979, and was worked on until 1986. It was originally intended to be around 90 minutes long, but only a few minutes were ever produced. However, these film sequences were very impressive considering the state of the technology at the time. A trailer of the movie was shown on SIGGRAPH in 1982. The project also resulted in famous computer animations such as 3DV, Sunstone, Inside a Quark and some segments of the short movie The Magic Egg from 1984. here's some pics from it:

Why do cats purr???

Leslie A. Lyons, an assistant professor at the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, Davis, explains. Over the course of evolution, purring has probably offered some selective advantage to cats. Most felid species produce a "purr-like" vocalization. In domestic cats, purring is most noticeable when an animal is nursing her kittens or when humans provide social contact via petting, stroking or feeding. Although we assume that a cat¿s purr is an expression of pleasure or is a means of communication with its young, perhaps the reasons for purring can be deciphered from the more stressful moments in a cat¿s life. Cats often purr while under duress, such as during a visit to the veterinarian or when recovering from injury. Thus, not all purring cats appear to be content or pleased with their current circumstances. This riddle has lead researchers to investigate how cats purr, which is also still under debate. Scientists have demonstrated that cats produce

Architecture Fail:Part1

Image
I had an idea: to compile the weirdest in the world of architecture and put it here! this apartment for instance: http://www.contemporist.com/2009/01/30/a-loft-on-the-lachine-canal-by-l-mccomber-architects/ and here's one key picture from it: wouldn't you fall flat on your face to get up for the crying baby at 2AM? Or if you are very tired and you fall down the stairs, wake the baby, and shit yourself becuase you had to take care of the crying, scared baby instead of going to the pot. Oh dear. That would be funny to see that. and no hanky-panky on that bed! don't wanna fall on the baby. Wow how could an architect who is "experienced" overlook this! so this concludes this post.

PWNAGETECH:Unlocking Your GPS!

I shall have a PWNAGETECH Article here showcasing tech finds that I find interesting and awesomes: Today I shall start with this: http://gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=126303 If you have a windowsCE based GPS unit (sorry tom-tom and garmin can't join in the fun they are based on linux so they can't join the party) you can basically turn your GPS into a full featured PDA and run most windows apps, as long as thier are compatible with the winCE/winMobile stack. You can play games, watch movies, play music, and even do MS office stuff and paint with your GPS now! This makes it even more worth the 150 or so you paid for it! I would definitly get this if I had a GPS unit! Makes it alot more fun to play with. Using this does NOT REPLACE FIRMWARE. it is simple a gateway to the OS since the OS is hidden becuase the nav software on the unit is running fullscreen and there is no way to "minimize" the app, all this does is let you access the underlying OS that really

Adobe Sucks

Grr this is maddening..... adobe does not have any 64 bit browser support (you must run it in 32 bit browser)! WTF?! how is stuff going to advance if the asshole companies don't support it. I am sick of 32 bit we need 64 bit. and if you don't know anything about it that system you just got with 4GB+ ram will be useless to a 32bit OS... well you can only use 3GB of that ram witch if you want to run more apps at once or future apps and games that is going to amount to nothing but headcrab zombies. It pisses me off how people will not let xp32 go they are clinging to it like a lost puppy to a bone. Most people don't know bout server 2008 or server 2003 I guess and more people should know about it. Use it and use it for 64bit mode. also running a 32 bit OS on 64bit hardware causes alot of problems and often times restarts unexpectedly, apps not loading all thier features... and the most irritating thing I've had..... when you have too many IE or FF tabs nothing else seems t

Damn it's been a while! I've been through alot, but I'm not gonna post much personal details on this site. :) I will update you all on a few things ;) I have changed my mind on the obama adminstration, he needs to clean the congress out because it's full of panderers. I'm not going to go too deep into the political commentary though. Another thing is I've gotten Windows Server 2008 x64 Enterprise Workstion (very long winded!) I've gotten it at the beginning of november actually! and it's a very solid OS I have had uptimes of 4 months average and only been taken down by one driver update and 3 power outages. pretty damn awesome for a windows operating system. I guess the server division of MS isn't that bad. my screenshot!!! Larger one: i44.tinypic.com/24xdiiq.jpg There's a website at http://www.win2008workstation.com/ that will tell you how to get the tricked out workstation experince without the vista bloat! Not much elese is going on. :) I hop

Who all is stressed out about the BS???

Who all is stressed out from all the BS that is going on lately? I am. I am having alot of nervous breadowns and I am scared an nervous all the time. I have never felt so helpless. I am soooo tired of all this BS and we need to get out of this mess before it is too late. I feel everyone is down more then ever and ever so confused. This country has been torn apart and we need to put it together. We need to restore the nice vibes everyone had becuase they used to be great. people nowadays are paranoid, depressed, distressed, and scared and sad. We need to come together again and heal our wounds. People are turning away from the things that used to matter the most to them and even questionin thier own faiths in everything. People don't even know themselves anymore it seems. I have gone though so much the past years I feel like I should have a full head of grey hair by now. I am left wishing and hoping we all come into the light and come together. I am sad and struck down but I am not

I see two tigers....

Image
I see two tigers divided in a world that destroyed their habitat, they are grieving and wishing that we have not destroyed there home and they are looking towards the opposite directions because they are looking at the directions we have taken to destroy them, through habitat and furs/hunting. they are dead and they are disgusted at what we have done to their domain. the shadows of the background symbolize the shadows of their ancestors and family and will not be forgotten and they shall wander the land and be a reminder that we could change the planet, one soul at a time, we can make a difference and we can make the world a better place, by just believing in ourselves and not hating one another and coming together, only then will th two tigers look at each other and come together. they represent the path the world has chosen and are a reminder of what is to come if we don't make a difference!

We see a galaxy.....

Image
we see a galaxy with much to tell us, a galaxy that makes us wonder, cherish, and inspired, it makes us go to the edge of the norm, it is for the dreamers and innovators of us, it makes us who we are and makes us never forget that we are very small and there is infinite life out there, waiting for us to see it, wondering the same about us, and when we are going to make contact. and the time is now! why not work towards it! work towards the ultimate goal, knowing that we are NOT ALONE!!

Warriors cats

I love them they are the best books I have ever read!!!Basicially they are about 4 clans of cats that live in the forest and surrounding areas. Rusty, a kittypet, gives up his comfy kittypet life and runs away into the forest and into the life of a warrior cat! It is an epic story that has me hooked! I am done with the first series of books and am starting on the first super edition book. I am also reading the first book of the second series and it is really good so far! Kitties FTW!!!! Here's the links to the wikipedia page and a link to the offical site: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warriors_(novel_series) http://www.warriorcats.com/ I took a personality test on this one website and this is my warrior cat ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Sandstorm You can be spiteful, but you are loved by all. Your friends help you every time, and your personality shines on everyone. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I like what I got I like her and she is very strong and just like me.
