Gallery of bad videogame cover art. It's in portuguese, but I could pick out most of the descriptions. Funny stuff.

I have a couple of those.

I rarely consider cover art in my game purchases. I'm big on back-of-the-box descriptions, though.

The best RPG ever. Very difficult to stop playing.

Clear your desks, students. We have a pop quiz. The topic is Greek Mythology. It comes in two parts.

Ready? Begin part one.

My score, part one
You have got 15 correct out of 20 questions. Your score is 75.

disappointed.

part two:
You have got 13 correct out of 20 questions. Your score is 65. (better quit while I'm ahead)

BigV · 12-16-2005, 08:58 PM

FIVE for the price of one!!

Click "videos". I laughed at all of them. I don't know what that says about the fella's puppetry skills, I fear what it says about my humor threshold. Enjoy.

14/20=70

Also face recognition gave me kevin spacey as a first choice. True, everyone says it. Oddly, they didn't suggest john cusack. In my younger days I was a dead ringer for him.

Been a busy day for me in this thread... :where is the busy beaver smilie?:

Ready for (another) one of those "which character am I?" survey thingies? .... Well, silence is assent, as I've heard, so here goes.

What D&D Character Are You? My results below. I would rate the result as flattering and mostly on target. This comes on the heels of a radio story today casting Seattlites as "earnest" and "satire challenged". Perhaps. I've been characterized that way before. Interestingly, the quiz coincided with a stretch of Jethro Tull on the iTunes shuffle play with a little Doors thrown in. Fine RPGing music for my money.

I Am A: Neutral Good Elf Ranger Cleric
 Alignment: Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place, and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'.
 Race: Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.
 Primary Class: Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.
 Secondary Class: Clerics are the voices of their God/desses on Earth. They perform the work of their deity, but this doesn't mean that they preach to a congregation all their lives. If their deity needs something done, they will do it, and can call upon that deity's power to accomplish their goals.
 Deity: Mielikki is the Neutral Good goddess of the forest and autumn. She is also known as the Lady of the Forest, and is the Patron of Rangers. Her followers are devoted to nature, and believe in the positive and outreaching elements of it. They use light armor, and a variety of weapons suitable for hunting, which they are quite skilled at. Mielikki's symbol is a unicorn head.
