    He'll be missed by many. It's just hard to accept how such a respected man can leave us so suddenly, especially at what should have been one of the happiest times of his life. Those triplets will never know their father now.

     

     

     

     

    On a somewhat lighter note, Rangers put Werder Bremen out the UEFA cup. I'll take Getafe in the quarter finals.

    A good friend from the Bethsoft forums has died. He was only 35. After all he'd been through in his life; fighting war affects even the strongest of minds, it's cruel that his life was taken by cancer. He's survived by his wife and four daughters, three of whom were born only a month before his death. He was a great person in every way.

     

    Having fought in war, I can only speculate as to what caused such bad cancer at such an early age, but I wont let my anger get to me.

     

    I feel sick.

    I was too far north to feel the earthquake. Which is just as well given that I was getting some much needed shut eye.

     

     

     

    Been in a strange mood recently. Life's strange.

     

     

    EDIT: Ok, now I'm seriously piffed off. Just got an email.

    73659668rx8.jpg

     

    The petition:

    "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to The title "Engineer" be legally protected to those with a grade of professional qualification registered with the Engineering Council."

     

    Details of Petition:

     

    "Anyone in the UK can call themselves an "engineer". I think that this should be protected in law in the same way as an architect or medical doctor is. This would mean that engineers are only those registered with the Engineering Council (e.g. Chartered Engineer). This should be in parallel with ensuring that only registered engineers can work on certain things in line with professional qualification and experience along the lines that of the legally protected reservoir engineer. Finally, it would mean that the final approval to any engineering process would require a registered engineer of whichever level reflected the process."

     

    Signatures: 35,351

     

    The full government respose.

     

    And the only relevant part:

     

    It is true that there is nothing to stop anyone from describing themselves as an "engineer" but only those individuals who have a current registration on the ECUK Register of Qualified Engineers and Technicians may use the professional titles of Chartered Engineer, Incorporated Engineer and Engineering Technician. It would not be practical or appropriate for the Government to attempt to introduce new legislation on this matter.

    Biffy Clyro - 57

     

    The sun shone in, the glint in your eye

    Your beautiful face, your beautiful face

    I held her tight, close to my heart

    I didn't know it would break, I didn't know it would break

     

    I don't believe there's love anymore, it's all inside

    We always said it's forever in this beautiful life

    And I'll try not to feel this music's for you and over, and over, and over

    And I'll try not to feel this music's for you and over, and over, and over...

    Yeah, I know some of the guys on that from the forums. One of them got made a moderator not too long ago as well.

     

    If easter eggs is your thing, Morrowind has the best. First, you need to get the sword Goldbrand from the most obscure Daedric shrine quest. Then you need to be a vampire, and get an obscure quest from a mages guild member. Then you need to have exactly 11171 gold in your inventory when you report success to get Goldbrand changed into Eltonbrand. Bluedev (Mark Nelson) is one of the craziest and best devs in the business in my opinion. I only found this easter egg by closely reading dialogue in the construction set.

     

     

    EDIT: Yay/damn, Princess_Stomper just got made a moderator. Yay because she's nice and friendly, but damn because she makes some great mods for MW and Oblivion, and may not have as much time anymore :(

    Yeah, a lot of effort goes into the TES wiki and similar sites. I'd actually say the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages actually eclipse the official wiki by far now. If it's about TES, it's on there. The Imperial Library also has every TES ingame book written I believe. Some of them are sheer genius. Read the 36 Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 14 I believe it is :(

     

     

    EDIT: Morrowind barely touches your graphics card, it just hogs your processor power. Because of this, mods have been made to give Morrowind near Oblivion-like graphics, albeit not so cartoonish. Check out this.

     

    I bought Oblivion on release. It took about a month to get it working. It seems Bethesda "forgot" to optimize it. Morrowind came with its fair share of bugs on release as well though. Daggerfall was one of the most brilliant games ever, but it was bugged to the point of being almost unplayable.

    My advice for Oblivion: Ignore the main quest. In fact, ignore most the faction quests. All except the Dark Brotherhood suck. Main quest is just "close teh oblivion gate!" and mages guild is just "kill teh nekromancers!". Other side quests are good though. So many good things were promised for that game that never saw the light (some understandably, but some blatant lies were told), and so many good features were removed that had been in the previous games. As great a game as Morrowind is, I've lost a lot of trust for Bethesda, and I fear for Fallout 3 and TES V.

     

     

    It's funny some of the threads in the Oblivion section at the Bethsoft forums. I saw one which was discussing things they'd have liked to have seen in Oblivion. Loads of people were saying a joinable Imperial Legion, joinable Imperial Cult, etc. Most of those new to the series didn't know that Morrowind had all them and more. Morrowind just had such a wealth of factions. Mage's guild, Fighter's guild, Imperial legion, Imperial cult, Temple, Morag Tong, 3 Great Houses and 3 vampire clans, of which you could only join one per game... And the land, while technically smaller than Oblivion in terms of square miles, had far more packed into it and was so much more varied, to the extent of seeming so much larger. And it had werewolves! When you get bored of Oblivion pick up Morrowind. You can get the GOTY version for only about £10 these days.

    I think the sad day has come to accept the inevitable. I've killed Morrowind :twitch:

     

    I can't play more than literally 2 minutes without a CTD. Resting causes a CTD, loading a quicksave causes a CTD, even stepping into the wrong cell causes one. I'll need to reinstall, but I don't want to lose the 150+ mods I have running with it, plus script editors and the likes. Sad day. I don't want to revert to playing Oblivion either, because it's just not as good :sigh:

     

     

    Gin and tonic for me. Need to get studying.

    7 Seconds Of Love - Twister

     

    Well I met her,

    On a sunny day in July,

    I was sitting on a beach,

    With a beer and a book,

    Enjoying a pork pie.

     

    She smiled at me,

    Her eyes laughed at me.

    She said "Let's have some fun,

    Let's play Twister in the sun".

     

    I said "I'd love to,

    Play Twister with you.

    You go get the sheet,

    I'll just go and wash my feet".

     

    And put your left hand on red,

    Put your right foot on blue.

    I wanna spend every day with you.

    And honey, I can fly like the bees in the sky,

    Today I'm playing Twister in the sun.

     

    I said, "Come on then,

    Let's see what you can do.

    I cant wait to spin your spinner

    And get tangled up with you".

     

    She wrapped herself around me,

    So that all that I could see

    Was a little bit of skin,

    Just below her chin.

    She said "I'd love to,

    Play Twister with you.

    But now let's go inside,

    I know a place where we can hide".

     

    Put your left hand on red,

    Put your right foot on blue.

    I wanna spend every day with you.

    And honey, I can fly like the bees in the sky,

    Today I'm playing Twister in the sun.

     

    Red, yellow, green and blue,

    Red, yellow, green and blue,

    Red, yellow, green and blue,

    Red, yellow, green and blue.

     

    Put your left hand on red,

    Put your right foot on blue.

    I wanna spend every day with you.

    And honey, I can fly like the bees in the sky,

    Today I'm playing Twister in the sun.

     

    Put your left hand on red,

    Put your right foot on blue.

    I wanna spend every day with you.

    And honey, I can fly like the bees in the sky,

    Today I'm playing Twister in the sun.

    Animated .gifs on the desktop

    So, I made a 41 frame .gif for my desktop. All very nice and purdy, except some of the frames towards the end started to merge together, as well as some pixels moving themselves across the frame seemingly at random. I'm not too sure what the file size limits are for a .gif to work properly on the desktop, but the file is 7.09Mb, so I'm guessing I'll need to reduce that. Anyone got any explanations/suggestions?

    MOBs know how to play, a lot of them just don't have the time anymore due to changing RL situations. MAD had to leave to do military service, another got engaged, anothers kid took ill... They also don't post a lot of their HOFs. I was shocked when I went on their forums and just saw how many hits they were making.
