  1. OT -- Cats

    That picture was from a few years ago and he was probably 13 lbs or so. This is a more recent picture but it's still tough to see him fully. Sometimes I hold him up in the air and stretch his body out and he is incredibly long with barely any fat on him. Sometimes he gets real frisky when we're playing and he comes after me and I'm genuinely scared as he can do some real damage. I did read that although cats look very approachable when lying on their side, it's when they are at their most dangerous. Like you mentioned, they can use all 4 claws and their mouths to fight. When Charlie stands off against another cat I often see him take that stance. Sorry for your loss Widow. I've had to put a number of pets down to old age and it's never easy but it doesn't deter me from adopting again. I figure I can give one animal at a time a 'good life' and I get much in return through loyalty and companionship. My cat sometimes walks on my keyboard at the most inopportune times but what's one to do? He wants to be close to me so I can't get mad at that. He's a cute kitty that Fafhrd.
  2. OT -- Cats

    Some fine looking cats their gents. This is my little buddy Charlie. I adopted him from the vet as a surprise for my wife just shortly after her 19-year-old cat died. He was found in a litter of cats outside in the back of an old pickup truck so I don't really know his heritage. He's 6.5 years old and weighs in at a solid 19 lbs. The kids give him a wide berth as he's been known to swipe with claws extended but overall he has a nice spirit with a good touch of wild in him. He's a good hunter although he doesn't do it that much anymore and I once saw him back a bulldog into a corner and stand guard over him until I wrangled him up. Because he has an ornery side I've had to learn about his body-language and feel I understand him even better as a result. It's amazing how much they communicate with their bodies. He wanders a few times a year and is gone for a week or more but he always comes back.

  6. New Wireless Headphones...

    I wear glasses as well Widow and these don't bother me one bit.
  7. New Wireless Headphones...

    Those look sweet. The wireless aspect is very appealing as well. I just picked these up a few weeks back and I couldn't be happier. They're light, comfortable, durable and the sound is good for a cheaper headphone. I payed about $60. for them at Radio Shack. http://www.usa.phili...sho9560_28/prd/
  8. old planes

    Did you ever watch Ice Pilots? They fly the DC-3 up in the northwest territory of Canada.
  9. That is some of the finest WWI art I've seen. Thanks for posting Hellshade.
  10. OT: Attention Fantasy RPG Fans

    Thanks Hellshade. I've been having graphic issues lately across OFF, LA Noire and Skyrim. My screen splits in two sometimes clean but often with serious noise across my screen. Sometimes it's grey with lines through it and I always have to reboot. Maybe it's an issue with the latest drivers as it started happening around 11.11 release? I tried rolling back to earlier drivers but I'm still have the same issues. I'm giving this one a try on my 6850 card and we'll see what happens.
  11. OT: Attention Fantasy RPG Fans

    I've just been getting rid of loot as I don't know what to do with it. Who can I sell it to? You can kill someone and take their Gold but they rarely have more than 2-10 pieces or so.
  12. OT: Attention Fantasy RPG Fans

    Is there any way I can score some coin quick? I'm still less than 2,000 Gold and I really want to buy a house to put all my loot in.
  13. Giants fan here loving the outcome of that game.
  14. 50th Birthday today

    Happy Birthday Widow and many more! I just reached 40 this year but still act like I'm 10 so it's all a state of mind I suppose.
  15. How ridiculous. If we band together we can take them on the battlefield!
  16. OT: Attention Fantasy RPG Fans

    Ha! I just heard a guy say that last night right before I met the Greybeards. Just after I fought a snow troll then decided to run for my life.
  17. OT Shocking News!

  18. Wow guys - WOW! That was simply fantastic! The musical score is fantastic and fits just right. The AI seemed to perfom really well, especially when down low to the ground. The Gothas look amazing and the details of the terrain are great! The OFF manger looks superb and it really takes you back in time. I've been following the updates all along but this really gave us a nice look of what to expect and I must say it exceeds my expectations which are very high to begin with. Nice work men!
  19. OT: Attention Fantasy RPG Fans

    Thanks buddy!
  20. That's amazing. It even has the same basic 'V' shape to it. Beautiful country down there ehhh?
  21. OT: Attention Fantasy RPG Fans

    Alright, I'm finally getting into the Skyrim groove. I fought and killed my first dragon and it was thrilling to say the least. He was badly injured and on the ground after I put a bunch of arrows in him and he still came at me as I back-tracked and fired more. Then he flamed me when he had only a sliver of life left and that was how I got killed on my first attempt. I got him on the second try. My nord character Saxe is starting to find an identity for himself; as an up close-and-personal brawler yet he's stealthy and has a nice touch with the bow. I'm currently a level 4. Here are some screenies: Is it worth having the 'cat-people' teach me additional stealth for 250 gold?
  22. OT: Attention Fantasy RPG Fans

    This guy is slightly-obsessed with Skyrim.
  23. I have to agree with this Hector. A fine title that flew beneath the radar a bit.
  24. OT L.A.Noire

    This worked VP. I utilized the ArtMoney app off the second link and it did a great job of smoothing out the hiccups. I changed the cap to 60 FPS and it seemed to do the trick. I still CTD twice over an hour period - usually with fast driving - but overall I'm happy with the difference. I just finished an incredible car chase through the aqueducts of L.A. and was quite surprised with how exciting it was. Here are my settings which are mostly maxed out but I set AA one notch down from the best settings and also shadows as well. Thanks buddy for helping me out and now I can enjoy this wonderful game. That's good Widow. There's nothing worse than wanting to enjoy a game and running into performance issues. Thanks for your help!
  25. OT L.A.Noire

    Thanks VP! It's started to affect my enjoyment of the game a bit as it happens pretty often at this point. I've had 2 CTD's that may be connected as it was jittering pretty good right before. I'll give these a look.
