No, I love that one JKSM!! :) :) icon_tongue3.gif that is.... The wider gap between enhances the appearance each eye and therefore emphasies the raised inner edge indicating playfulness. 'course, I could just be full of crap Very nice indeed! :) We also need a whistling/looking towards the ceiling &...

I'm also playing The Elder Scrolls 4 - Oblivion at the moment. I also have games in progress of Fallout 2, GTA SA but I doubt I'll get back to them.

That's a very good one JKSM :) Yes, I think it's better - perhaps one pixel off each closed eye giving more space between the eyes...?

But I'm certainly happy with it as it stands. :)

Eric, FYI the site featured in the national magazine PC Gamer back in January and took a tremendous slagging off - mainly directed at my design Yes, I recall you got a bit of a roasting on the PC Gamer forums.... ;) which was to be expected really... ;) although I never saw the British version of P...

Nah that's cool... I've since spent some time reading what exactly CWF aims to do and can see that some of them are clearly not suited.

Well, you're Parvini.

'Nuff said really :P :P :P

Sorry I missed you... I've been using that tiny 'quick reply' window and so I can only see about three lines of what I write and so tend to forget what I have written.

Hey! Where's your site... the link doesn't work anymore?

I didn't have lessons when learning to drive.... does one really need to learn this?? I figured it was like breathing and just came naturally. Though you do need to be familiar with cars in the first place I suppose. In Australia we have a system of "L" and "P" (Learner and Provi...

I prefer the second 'tongue.gif' because, for me, it's an accurate reflection of a 'tongue in cheek' comment I may make.... but it doesn't really mix well with the other styles of smilies given the different colour and size - and so with those constraints in mind, I'd go with the third one 'icon_ton...

I realy should have mentioned I didn't mind GC1 instead of just lumping it with GC2.... I personally found that GC2 did not add anything substantial to this game series... the graphics looked a little prettier and the sudden relization that this seemed the same game turned me off it at that point. I...

Oh, if you'd like to see something amusing, look at the starsign thingies in my post... put your mouse pointer over the middle one and then move it to the one on the right......

See! It's correct!

I'm a major fan of the Fallout series of RPGs and would include Arcanum as well... I'm not really a fan of the goblins, orcs and elves sort of thing...

Hmm... I've played all those games.... I'd tend to go with Master of Orion as a sentimental fave... cheating AI and all. It continues to define the 4X genre. It's one of the few old Dos games I still play. (The AI cheats and so do I... :wink: ). However, it does lack in certain areas which MOO2 made...

My thanks to those whom sought me out... I missed OG but, for reasons of my own, left, never to return. The post you found on the EgoSoft forums was old (brings back memories) and I'm surprised you didn't find any recent ones since I have posted there with the release of X3. I actually joined OG and...

Well, I use Eric because it's my name..... :wink:

But seriously, I usually use Eric the Viking because it's unique and could be considered a reflection of my personality.

I'll leave it to you to decide if that's a good or bad thing.... :wink:
