I resent you already.  You're pretentious but I'll be taking notes from your posts.
Also, the way you condescend "n00bs" makes you come off too haughty to be calling yourself "sensitive". 
Would you like to differentiate between the n00bs you feel superior to and the ones you regard as equals?  Or are you more sensitive to some things than others and people don't hit your radar?

Welcome from Vic

This made me smile.  It might make you smile too.

I'll take catwritr and Wunderkind if they don't mind sharing; there's room for everyone on my bed of leaves and if we need more room I'll add more leaves. 

Thanks for the link Vespertine, I have new plans to surf that site all day.  The soap you posted looks fantastic, I could leave the hall nightlight off and find the bathroom by the soap in it ^_^

Interesting.  Because you and I like olive green may I assume neither of us smoke?

I waited too long to loot the body and it's gone now :(
I'll remember to check the next one.  
I apologize to catwritr, I did not know you were a spider.  Are you available for work?

Thanks for the tips 12, now I know how to hit on a spider...  Hey, wait!

Catwritr, pretty thing, I can lay you down on a bed of leaves and vibrate you until you can't talk or walk straight.  What do you say?

1:35 into the video the face really starts to appear and I agree that it's awesome.

Bug Spray is a great idea, Vespertine.  I would have used some after your suggestion but we don't have any so it is now on a shopping list, ty ^^.  Also, what kind of loot do you think a spider would carry?
I agree with spiders being excellent pest control but I wish God had made them cuter and look less like they crawled out of which ever circle of Hell left a window open.   
The idea of a personal army of giant spiders that work silently in the night and that I don't have to look at gave me a delightful shiver.  I will consider the utility of non union arachnids but I might need a translator before any kind of contract can be negotiated.  If snakes speak Parseltongue, what do spiders speak?

Glad we're all on the same page. 
BTW, thanks pbsaurus, I figured out that was a spoiler pretty fast. 
Hello, 12.

If spiders achieved levels for every inch in diameter there would be a level 3 spider in my laundry room. 

Found it last night and should have dealt with it then because this morning it is above the door to the laundry room instead of in the corner over the washer. 
I thought about smashing it with a broom to cause 'Knock Down' disabling it for at least 5 seconds depending on my attribute distribution but then realized it would be within striking distance of my feet and my boots have crappy runes. 
I considered using the vacuum but the nozzle is less than two feet long and the handicap of high DPS tends to be easy interruptions and if it moves or God-forbid doesn't fit in the end of the nozzle I'll be screaming like a little girl and yesterday's load of darks will continue to rot until my roommate wakes up, if the screaming doesn't do it for her.   

Someone suggested catching it in a towel but I'm out of sugary speed buffs.  Any suggestions?

The Gillian Anderson show.  She had a male co-host and they occasionally featured aliens, more so as the show progressed.  I was surprised to hear Canadians call it the X-Files.  That doesn't make a lot of sense, but then again when do Canadians ever make sense?  *shakes head* Milk in bags...

Oh, good.  I can relax until other members stop posting. 
When the time comes I hope I'm not too relaxed to notice.

For the most part I'll leave future newbies alone since I have no discerning taste when it comes to who would be good for the forum and who wouldn't. 
And ketchup goes well with bacon even when picking out tap shoes with a fork.

On the subject of commercials, I feel that whoever came up with the slogan, "It's not delivery, it's Digiorno!" should be shot. In the face. With an uzi.


The DiGiorno commercials were terrible. 

Also, I'm aware this is an old thread but I was so happy to find it that I couldn't help myself: Folks who want their kids to be unique and special but not so different as to be made fun of and thus such parents intentionally misspell a classic/trendy name instead of choosing a name that is actually uncommon.  How do they justify this?  Obviously flagging your child as ignorant and illiterate doesn't set them up to be ostracized in school and waiting tables for the rest of their lives.  Those sons/daughters may not achieve the lofty status of 'unique' that their parents hoped for but I guarantee they will always been seen as special. 
Second irk is folks who make fun of kids with awkward spellings when it's the parents who should be drummed out of town.

Miss Karina, you skipped the introduction step.  There is a forum conveniently dedicated to just this.  It is my advice that you refer to the registration instructions before the senior members of this forum eat you.  Newbie with ketchup is a dietary staple around here.  Well, to be honest, ketchup is a personal preference of mine, idk what the others like.

-edit-
I haven't read anything by Charlotte Bronte though she's been recommended before.  Personally, I'm a stickler for convincing characters but interesting writing style and setting can keep me even if I don't like characters. What specifically did you like about Jane Eyre?

1. Black coat? Check.
2. Diabolical talent? Check.
3. Penchant for stirring trouble with the neighbor's dog, ready to blame the dog on the basis that cat's don't bark?  Check.
4. Simultaneously failing at your evil plan and improving your image of an intellectual capable of higher reasoning?  Priceless. 

-sigh-  Such is the life of a Basemen Cat.

Forgive me if you have already seen this.

Mr_Shifty: does that mean you also have trouble with blues or reds?

Min: YEESSSSS!???

Wunderkind: That's on my to-watch list, maybe I'll know what you're talking about after I see it. 

Thanks for the warm welcome you guys.

Boy, I'm really lucky my boss didn't walk up behind me while I was snapping this one.

How hot am I?


You kind of remind me of David Hewlett. 
I couldn't find a picture of him that matched yours and then I found a fansite with too many pictures to sort through.  If you watch SG:Atlantis you may agree with the resemblance.

That is lovely.  I can't add much else that hasn't already been said. 
Li Bai's poem suits the painting, did you already have it in mind while painting?
I third the happy tree comments.

Some of you seem to eat books for breakfast; Vespertine you are an inspiration. 

I'm on page 90 of Stallion Gate by Martin Cruz Smith and undecided if I like it or not. 

I don't like disappointment; my goal is 4 more before Dec 31st.

My name is Vic and I’m a newbie.  I write fantasy and read sci-fi.  I hopped MMO’s for a long time before settling on Guild Wars.  I’m taking a break from college to fill educational holes myself so I don’t have to pay for remedial classes.  My computer runs fine and I would like to join your community. 
Oh, and my favourite color is green.
