I'm with grayhaze. I think it's important for artists to sign their works, but they can do so in an unobtrusive way. If the sig is hidden by the taskbar, or done discretely so that it doesn't show up much, then I don't think anyone will complain.
Neverwinter Nights is next on my list once I finish with Morrowind. Then Icewind Dale II.
I love computer games. I play mostly role-playing games, with some strategy games on occasion. My favourites: Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate II Caesar III Pharaoh Zeus Currently I'm making my way through Morrowind.
Oops - I can't believe I forgot The Red Star ! Beautiful work, a lot of it done with computers. Just gorgeous art. And a great story too!
Chris, Ruse is very good, but it took me a while to get used to it. Scion is good as well, but Sojourn is definitely my favourite of the CrossGen titles.
Okay, what are your favourite colourful skins? (ie. skins that are more than just variations on grey and something else). For some reason I'm getting really bored with the look of my desktop, and want something bright and colourful. So, what skins do you like that are full of colour?
Let's see. My current favourite is Sojourn, from CrossGen. I love Groo! Groo is the best (cheese dip anyone? ) I also read Scion, Meridian and Ruse from CrossGen. Love Knights of the Dinner T

It's the next game that I plan on purchasing, once I finish making my way through Morrowind. I still play Dungeons & Dragons. I play with a group of friends - we get together once every two weeks for a game of AD&D (2nd Edition). It's mainly an excuse to socialize and get together, but we have managed to work our way up from 1st level to 7th and 8th level characters. We have a really great DM who is absolutely wonderful and we have a lot of fun with it. <img src="http://images.stardo
I just wanted to say 'thank you' for all the beautiful skins you've created. I hope we see you back soon.
Most people don't play games!!! Of course, I work as an IT Manager, so almost everyone in our shop is a gamer. But you are right, once you have a 'decent' CPU, the videocard is what makes all the difference right now when it comes to games. Of course, if I wasn't a gamer I'd probably sti
Oh, I loved the King's Quest series, those were great games! As were the original Ultimas. And A Bard's Tale. Ah, the good old days of computer RPGs. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/bigsmile.gif" bord
Oh, I forgot the comics: Artesia, Age of Bronze, Knights of the Dinner Table (hilarious if you've ever role-played), Sojourn, Scion, Meridian, Queen & Country, The Red Star
I read mostly historical fiction and fantasy. My favourite authors include: L.E. Modesitt, Jr., Chaz Brenchley, Anne Bishop, Mercedes Lackey, Katherine Kurtz, Anne McCaffrey, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Sara Douglass, Terry Goodkind, George R.R. Martin, Jack Whyte, Bernard Cornwell, JRR Tolkien, Guy Gavrial Kay (he's Canadian! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/bigsmile.gif" border=0 AL
Commodore Vic-20, which was then upgraded to a Commodore 64. I used the C-64 for years and years, until I finally got a 386 in Grade 13. I loved playing games on that C-64 - there were some great titles.
Most people I know like to alter the look of their computer, mostly using Plus! They don't know that skinning exists, so they are content with simply changing the things that a Plus theme changes. With Windows XP, I think more people are realizing that they can do more to change the look of their desktop, so I think skinning will become more populat.
Very cool pictures of all the skinners! Pic of me and my honey as part of my Zeal profile: http://www.zeal.com/users/profile.jhtml?uid=15887&view=public
Paxx, I'm not saying it's average. I'm saying that among my social group (ie. 30 somethings with university degrees) it is the average income. (And not all of us work in IT, but all of us would be classified as 'professionals'. My fiance, for example, knows nothing about computers, but serves as an Engineering Officer at the rank of Major in the Canadian army. Similarly, I have friends who work as Environmental Engineers, Communications Specialists in the government, and a variety o
I do most of my magazine reading on the bus to and from work. Can't do that with a website (my iPAQ doesn't have a wireless connection yet...) And yes, I could download stuff on my iPAQ through AvantGo or somthing similar, but I just like reading some on paper better than on screen.
Hey, if you guys in IT wants jobs, move to Canada. (Well, Ottawa, or any other big government city). The Canadian Federal government is desperate for IT workers (we're called CSes up here, because our classification is a CS-01, CS-02, CS-03). CS-01 is entry-level, straight out of college or university, and they make between 29,000 and 45,000 a year. CS-02 is your 'average' developer/admin/second level support person, and they make 40,000 to 60,000 a year. C3-03 is 'advanced
Well, if you have two professionals working, making $50,000 or more a year, that puts you in the '5' category. Most of the couples I know have both partners with university degrees, and both partners working. Makes for a tidy income, especially when you don't have kids.
Wow, I guess I'm in the minority. Just like being back at university studying engineering.
Yep. I've heard of 'blogs. I don't have one - I have an online journal instead. I just prefer the journal format to the blog one.
Music often helps. Or taking an exercise break. Going for a walk, run, or taking a fitness class. Personally, I need to do some form of exercise over my lunch hour (usually I either take or teach a group fitness class at our corporate fitness facility) in order to keep me motivated and energized thro
Our plans for this year: We're in Ottawa, Ontario (Canada) and we're going to drive through Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and then take the ferry across to Newfoundland. My husband is from Newfoundland, so we'll be visiting his friends and family there. Also, I work for Parks Canada, so we are going to camp a few days in Gros Morne National Park on the way to St. John's, a
Yes, a small icon, like Brad's frog, or Boxxi's box would be very cool for Wincustomize subscribers.
