ilike the Blue eye track of Elton john... also i'm still standing is also one of his gud tracks... love to hear Elton when i find some liesure...

This is a creative idea. I like it. Shows it pays not to throw anything away.

No. Not everyone.

The only people at Jagex whom I consider to be 'evil' are the ones calling the shots. The people at the top of the company.

Blizzard is falling under the same symptoms. I really enjoyed the first two Diablo titles, and was eagerly awaiting the third title. Instead, what I got was an experience that became one of the biggest disappointments in gaming.

The Diablo forums are infested with angry people and frustrated gamers who are simply asking Blizzard to listen in to them. It's been months already, and still Diablo III continues to be a mind-numbing experience. Poor planning combined with a Real Money Auction House don't make a great game.

Even sadder was when I saw Diablo III receiving an overall rating of two out of a five stars at Amazon.com. After 2,889 reviews.

While Blizzard and Jagex are two different companies, I can't help but feel that their ultimate motives share some similarities.

I want to think that Mists of Pandaria was an expansion that helped bring in new life into World of Warcraft, but all it practically is really is a rehash of the same 'bad' material I come to know so well in that game.

It's difficult these days to find a good MMO anymore. I think that's why a lot of people migrated to Runescape, because Jagex held a set of rules that were to ensure that nobody was going to get away with cheating (and gold farming). At least not for long.

Running out of options when it comes to finding a decent MMORPG.

I grew up playing with LEGOs with my brothers, and loving it. We made houses for our troll dolls (remember those cute ugly little dolls :-) ) and occasionally my Barbie would make an appearance in our LEGO structures too....if I had sets like the ones above, I would've been in heaven, although maybe my brothers wouldn't have played with them if they were "girl color" Legos :-)

LOL You and me too. I really can't walk in heels. I do like the skeleton ones though.

I've just named my new computer Ada after her. :) Yes, she was, though I do wonder how much sooner we would have had computing, if people had followed through. The machine wasn't built until long after she'd died.

It's intriguing to imagine what would have happened if it was though. Computing would have come in 1843, close to how we know it, but the internet wouldn't have been decentralized.

Thanks. I took a lot of pictures for this!

That one really chilled me too. I can't understand how some people can be so cruel.

As for the battlefield, when you think of the sheer level of emotion going on, you can understand why it's so haunted. So I'm with you on that one.

ha. That's my trick.

Wow, Thanks.

Oops, sorry, forgot to hit the subscribe button ;-( to this article ;-(

Maybe it's because I was three for most of 1976, then turned four towards the end. I mostly remember it for having this little screaming baby thing that took my Mum and Dad's attention. *smirk* He's not much better now... >.>

But yes, I will look them up. I've been busy building a new computer today, hence not having chance to have listened so far. But keep the suggestions coming. I'm all for finding new and great music.

WiseFool - How nice it is to be "fully embraced." That's nearly a hug. It's been a long time since I had a reasonable conversation with anybody about feminism. Back in the day, when I was a student and surrounded by feminists, there was less suspicion about why a white, anglo-saxon, protestant male should support the idea of equality. Now, we seem much more divided. That can only be a bad thing. It's OK to support an idea just because it's the right thing to do. You can write that on my headstone.

Sorry, that should have been the Slits, not the Slitz. Jo. I'm slightly surprised about that. Neither bands were obscure. X-Ray Specs had UK chart success and The Slits were the sister group to The Clash. I suppose you had to be around at the time though, and being British helps too. They were both 'punk' in the best way, the perfect antidote to ABBA and Fleetwood Mac. It was a time when it seemed like a radical thing to be female and not aspire to be glamorous. They were, quite frankly, a breath of fresh air. Around that time, Bob Marley was in the UK, and he loved them too. Sadly, both Poly Styrene of X-Ray specs and Ari Up of the Slits passed away quite recently. I'm sure you can find them on YouTube. Let me know what you think.
