All of it. And in pretty equal proportions in fact. Today I used Google to find out something about I Ching divination, Google News to read up on the body count in Iraq, Iran's nuclear development, Wikipedia to learn about the history of the Communist Manifesto (for an internet discussion), Hyperiums and some other text-based morpgs, as well as exactly four message boards.

Actually, I play games very rarely these days. Significantly more of my time is spent online (on forums as well as just surfing aimlessly).

And yes, games are kind of an escape when I do play them. Usually when I have either some kind of stress problem or something very unpleasant to do. It doesn't make that go away, of course, but it provides a brief relief from that "tunnel perspective".

If you go by scenarios, then Jeff won't complain if you write any derivative stuff, but will come down on you if you try to make money off it.

Then again, the scenarios are only playable by people who bought the game, unlike the book.

Unless you have written and/or published several books before, I don't even see why you should worry - you have a negligible chance of getting it published anyway, copyright aside.

Yes, but you'll still have to either waste hours copying and pasting all those item names, or write a program for it.

Or depend on someone else to do so.

Who would be writing the book anyway? Fanfiction is on a shady terrain, but for the most part nobody will take action while you do not make money from it. And as for that - well, have you gotten a book published before? Written a few at least? Good luck, but...

(Ouch. I used an ellipse.)

I used to think Canadians didn't have this US way of placing the fringe of civilization directly at the borders of their nation...

Anyway, I see no advantage of either Macs or PCs. If you don't want to conform, go all the way and use Linux. :P (What you install it *on* is of course your own prerogative.)

I am sure that UBB forums elsewhere do limit sizes to 80x80. Meaning they don't allow you to link to or upload any image beyond a certain size. An alternative would be having the forum supply a list of say 3,000 possible avatars.
I have not heard of any way to check the size of an off-site file that is linked to, without uploading it first.

That is why some boards will allow you to upload, but not link to an avatar, in order to control the filesize directly.

It appears that I forgot (or repressed memory of) the large amount of pure, utter mind-numbing stupidity that always permeates the board's transition into Summer...

Either that or last year I was not here to notice it as much.

It seems that with a few adjustments "Arancaytar" would sound quite natural as an Indian name...
Probably the 'c' doesn't fit, but I wouldn't know.

In case you don't know what goatse is, you can check up the definition here.

Unfortunately, goatse can't be defined. It must be seen. Google for it and you'll see an image or two. Good luck.

Good luck with finding it? I swear, if you are lucky, you will never have to behold this atrocity in your life.

There's more to that system than one might think. Remember what an improvement the political compass is over the traditional Left/Right scale.

Actually, I'm fairly sure it was done half a year ago. Then four months ago. Then a month ago, and then two weeks ago. I'd dig up the links, but I can't be bothered now.
