  1. Easy: Charlie Chaplin - not sure of the movie though.

    Medium: Phantom of the Paradise - Paul Williams (left in pic) was in it.

    Hard: Looks like it might be "The Seven Samurai" (1954)

     

    Good work Wolfie.

    The easy was Charlie Chaplin in The Gold rush.

    100% Correct on the Medium.

    The hard though is not the Seven Samurai. Same director for this film as the Seven Samurai. I'll see if anyone can get it before I give the answer (I'll give them a gold star if they do.)

     

    Turn goes to you Wolfie.

  2. More food horror (tempting) in the style of the holos burger:

     

     

    Don't make this stuff guys!

     

    There are a few profanities in this one by the same people. A few of the things they make in this sound good. Prepare yourself for the Breakfast Fortress. They get drunk eating pancakes.

     

  3. Heya Todd

     

    I don't mind watching Anime everyone once in a while..specially if it's free! :bounce: What else can you tell about this though.. are the effects any good...comparable to anything else I might have seen? I love anime effects.

    Well the movie is 100% cgi. The story concept is unique and compelling, the effects are good. Blend a little of Ghost in the Shell, Mad Max, and throw in a Government/ Mad Scientist conspiracy. It also has giant "sand worms" made from "assimilated scrap metal" ala Dune.

  4. Vexille: 2077 Isolation of Japan (subtitled in English)

     

    The veil is breached. Japan is infiltrated by agents of the organization S.W.O.R.D., a force operating outside of the protection of the United States and her allies.

    Their mission: Determine if the Japanese are developing banned robotic bio-technology.

    You just have to be willing to watch some commercials.

  5. Yesterday while sitting in Game Lord of the North brought up an Idea to me about taking a Guild Pic in the guild Hall. I thought the Idea was a good one so I am formally extending the invite to all forum members. Who play Guild Wars to come to the FDM Guild Hall and take a pic with us. As to the date and time that it will take place those details haven't been Discussed as of yet. But we thought it would be a cool idea to get everyone involve for it and maybe afterwords take on a dungeon or 2 for some extremely good times and laughs. Let us know what you think about it and when a good time for you would be to get together and do this.

     

     

    Cheers,

    EM

    Shortly after talking with you I had sent off a pm to Gogo about this idea to get his take on it. Still waiting to hear back but with the Holidays and all I new he would be busy. For everyone else here I had the idea due to the fact that at every in game festival I would take a "family photo" of the wife and I. This year we gave our eldest son a copy of Guild Wars for Christmas and I took a "photo" of the three of us. And that was when the idea of a D.A.R.K clan Family Photo in the Guild Hall hit me. So if anyone else thinks it's a good idea lets us now and we will start getting things organized to do this. Who knows It even could become an annual tradition. and we could post the pics with all the the names under it in a nice "wooden frame".

    That link came back with an error - something about not having permission to access the file on that server...

     

    But if you were referring to Ben 1972, or the Michael Jackson song of the same name, then yes... You got it...

     

    I suppose I could have gone for a trifecta - but that particular chapter was getting a bit long as it was. And I was going for an alphabetical naming strategy - Algernon, Ben.... W is a LONG ways down the alphabet...

    ben.jpg I did it different this time.

  7. I got a convection toaster oven with rotisserie attachment, a stick blender, chocolate covered sunflower seeds, tea and Magic the Gathering cards.

    My son, Deamonrocks, got a web cam, Guild Wars (all three with eye of the north, all hidden in boxes with sockes), and headphones.

    My wife, Genenut, Got crochet hooks, microfiber sheets, fleece sheets, and Magic the Gathering cards.

    just to name a few things.

    Deamonrocks also got a computer that over heats and freezes when he plays Guild wars.

  8. Aegis: Could almost say I've yet to see an RPG where Aegis isn't used in some form. Or more accurately, Japanese RPG.

     

    Gogo: No day is wasted when you learn something new. ^^ He also had a spear called Gungnir and those ravens, Muninn and Huginn. Learned those also from some Japanese stuff. They like to use some northern mythos every so often. Wasn't Sleipnir a horse though?

    I know, honing the dot, but still. :P

     

    Sleipnir was Odin's steed, was the child of Loki and Svaðilfari, was described as the best of all horses, and was sometimes ridden to the location of Hel. The Prose Edda contains extended information regarding the circumstances of Sleipnir's birth, and details that he was gray in color. Sleipnir was also an eight-legged horse.

  9. it's Podgie_bear's turn to go, but I will answer the other two.

     

    Medium is Oh My Goddess

     

    Hard is Wintertime Staring Sonja Henie (She was a three-time Olympic Champion (1928, 1932, 1936), a ten-time World Champion (1927–1936) and a six-time European Champion (1931–1936). Henie won more Olympic and World titles than any other ladies figure skater. At the height of her acting career she was one of the highest paid stars in Hollywood.)

  10. "Girl Genius" is an online free comic book. It was started online Monday, November 04, 2002.

     

    In the words of the authors "Girl Genius is an ongoing adventure story in which the characters grow, change, run around the landscape quite a bit, and occasionally even die. Because of this, we recommend that new readers start the Girl Genius story from the very beginning. Trust us, it makes more sense that way. The good news is that the entire archive is now available for online reading!

    Oh, and please be aware that we recommend Girl Genius for an audience of teens and up. Why? Well, let's see...we have lots of running around in Victorian underwear, occasional innuendo, a certain amount of violence and the occasional "damn!" Will this deprive us of future happy meal toys? Probably. Are we having fun making our story our own way? Oh, yes! A lot of our readers still say they read GG to their kids, (and, of course, our kids like it,) but now you can make an informed choice. Thank you!"

    Enjoy this link to the first page.

    Todd, is it you that is writing this, or did you quote this? lol is this your own story or something? I am a fun of steampunk btw.

     

    :)

    I quoted, Gogo. It's from the authors web site. I was going to write a review to put here but read this and liked it better. The people who put this outalso have done other comics too. Myth Adventures (an adaptation of the books by Robert Asprin)

  11. Just found out the local liquor store carries MEAD! I'm in HEAVEN! Mead FOR EVERYONE! :drunkards::xmastree::drinks::woot::pitcher:

     

    Goodness, I am surprised. That stuff has been around since the middle ages. If it's been brewing for 800 years, I wonder what alcohol % it is.............yikes !

     

    Do they sell it in flagons ? I'm on my way.............just to test it out, o/c. :drool:

     

    shouldn't take him that long...

     

    I don't know. A mega rich guy like Schot probably doesn't need to check his statements that often ! :whistle:

    Here in the US it is a relatively new. For a long time it was only available as an imported item and even then only seen at some ren-fairs (thats where I had my first taste of it, 22 years later to have it again). With the upswing in home brewing and micro-breweries it is now starting to be made over here.
