Call me Ishmael. Some years ago -- never mind how long precisely -- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off -- then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me. --opening paragraph
"Now, three to three, ye stand. Commend the murderous chalices! Bestow them, ye who are now made parties to this indissoluble league.... Drink, ye harpooneers! drink and swear, ye men that man the deathful whaleboat's bow -- Death to Moby ****! God hunt us all, if we do not hunt Moby **** to his death!" --Chapter 36 (The Quarter-Deck)

Already several fatalities had attended his chase. But though similar disasters, however little bruited ashore, were by no means unusual in the fishery; yet, in most instances, such seemed the White Whale's infernal aforethought of ferocity, that every dismembering or death that he caused, was not wholly regarded as having been inflicted by an unintelligent agent.
Judge, then, to what pitches of inflamed, distracted fury the minds of his more desperate hunters were impelled, when amid the chips of chewed boats, and the sinking limbs of torn comrades, they swam out of the white curds of the whale's direful wrath into the serene, exasperating sunlight, that smiled on, as if at a birth or a bridal.
His three boats stove around him, and oars and men both whirling in the eddies; one captain, seizing the line-knife from his broken prow, had dashed at the whale, as an Arkansas duellist at his foe, blindly seeking with a six inch blade to reach the fathom-deep life of the whale. That captain was Ahab. And then it was, that suddenly sweeping his sickle-shaped lower jaw beneath him, Moby **** had reaped away Ahab's leg, as a mower a blade of grass in the field.... Small reason was there to doubt, then, that ever since that almost fatal encounter, Ahab had cherished a wild vindictiveness against the whale, all the more fell for that in his frantic morbidness he at last came to identify with him, not only all his bodily woes, but all his intellectual and spiritual exasperations. The White Whale swam before him as the monomaniac incarnation of all those malicious agencies which some deep men feel eating in them, till they are left living on with half a heart and half a lung. That intangible malignity which has been from the beginning; to whose dominion even the modern Christians ascribe one-half of the worlds; which the ancient Ophites of the east reverenced in their statue devil; -- Ahab did not fall down and worship it like them; but deliriously transferring its idea to the abhorred white whale, he pitted himself, all mutilated, against it. All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Ahab, where visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Moby ****. He piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it. --Chapter 41 (Moby ****)

It was while gliding through these latter waters that one serene and moonlight night, when all the waves rolled by like scrolls of silver; and, by their soft, suffusing seethings, made what seemed a silvery silence, not a solitude: on such a silent night a silvery jet was seen far in advance of the white bubbles at the bow. Lit up by the moon, it looked celestial; seemed some plumed and glittering god uprising from the sea. --Chapter 51 (The Spirit-Spout)

But the placing of the cap-sheaf to all this blundering business was reserved for the scientific Frederick Cuvier, brother to the famous Baron. In 1836, he published a Natural History of Whales, in which he gives what he calls a picture of the Sperm Whale. Before showing that picture to any Nantucketer, you had best provide for your summary retreat from Nantucket. In a word, Frederick Cuvier's Sperm Whale is not a Sperm Whale, but a squash. --Chapter 55 (Of the Monstrous Pictures of Whales)

The hatch, removed from the top of the works, now afforded a wide hearth in front of them. Standing on this were the Tartarean shapes of the pagan harpooneers, always the whale-ship's stokers. With huge pronged poles they pitched hissing masses of blubber into the scalding pots, or stirred up the fires beneath, till the snaky flames darted, curling, out of the doors to catch them by the feet. The smoke rolled away in sullen heaps. To every pitch of the ship there was a pitch of the boiling oil, which seemed all eagerness to leap into their faces. Opposite the mouth of the works, on the further side of the wide wooden hearth, was the windlass. This served for a sea-sofa. Here lounged the watch, when not otherwise employed, looking into the red heat of the fire, till their eyes felt scorched in their heads. Their tawny features, now all begrimed with smoke and sweat, their matted beards, and the contrasting barbaric brilliancy of their teeth, all these were strangely revealed in the capricious emblazonings of the works. As they narrated to each other their unholy adventures, their tales of terror told in words of mirth; as their uncivilized laughter forked upwards out of them, like the flames from the furnace; as to and fro, in their front, the harpooneers wildly gesticulated with their huge pronged forks and dippers; as the wind howled on, and the sea leaped, and the ship groaned and dived, and yet steadfastly shot her red hell further and further into the blackness of the sea and the night, and scornfully champed the white bone in her mouth, and viciously spat round her on all sides; then the rushing Pequod, freighted with savages, and laden with fire, and burning a corpse, and plunging into that blackness of darkness, seemed the material counterpart of her monomaniac commander's soul. --Chapter 96 (The Try-Works)

There is, one knows not what sweet mystery about this sea, whose gently awful stirrings seem to speak of some hidden soul beneath; like those fabled undulations of the Ephesian sod over the buried Evangelist St. John. And meet it is, that over these sea-pastures, wide-rolling watery prairies and Potter's Fields of all four continents, the waves should rise and fall, and ebb and flow unceasingly; for here, millions of mixed shades and shadows, drowned dreams, somnambulisms, reveries; all that we call lives and souls, lie dreaming, dreaming, still; tossing like slumberers in their beds; the ever-rolling waves but made so by their restlessness. --Chapter 111 (The Pacific)

To convey an adequate idea of a book of such various merits as that which the author of Typee and Omoo has here placed before the reading public, is impossible in the scope of a review. High philosophy, liberal feeling, abstruse metaphysics popularly phrased, soaring speculation, a style as many-coloured as the theme, yet always good, and often admirable; fertile fancy, ingenious construction, playful learning, and an unusual power of enchaining the interest, and rising to the verge of the sublime, without overpassing that narrow boundary which plunges the ambitious penman into the ridiculous; all these are possessed by Herman Melville, and exemplified in these volumes. --London Morning Advertiser, October 24 1851
This is an ill-compounded mixture of romance and matter-of-fact. The idea of a connected and collected story has obviously visited and abandoned its writer again and again in the course of composition. The style of his tale is in places disfigured by mad (rather than bad) English; and its catastrophe is hastily, weakly, and obscurely managed....
... The result is, at all events, a most provoking book, -- neither so utterly extravagant as to be entirely comfortable, nor so instructively complete as to take place among documents on the subject of the Great Fish, his capabilities, his home and his capture. Our author must be henceforth numbered in the company of the incorrigibles who occasionally tantalize us with indications of genius, while they constantly summon us to endure monstrosities, carelessnesses, and other such harassing manifestations of bad taste as daring or disordered ingenuity can devise....
We have little more to say in reprobation or in recommendation of this absurd book.... Mr. Melville has to thank himself only if his horrors and his heroics are flung aside by the general reader, as so much trash belonging to the worst school of Bedlam literature -- since he seems not so much unable to learn as disdainful of learning the craft of an artist. --Henry F. Chorley, in London Athenaeum, October 25 1851

Of all the extraordinary books from the pen of Herman Melville this is out and out the most extraordinary. Who would have looked for philosophy in whales, or for poetry in blubber.Yet few books which professedly deal in metaphysics, or claim the parentage of the muses, contain as much true philosophy and as much genuine poetry as the tale of the Pequod's whaling expedition....
To give anything like an outline of the narrative woven together from materials seemingly so uncouth, with a power of thought and force of diction suited to the huge dimensions of its subject, is wholly impossible.... [Readers] must be prepared, however, to hear much on board that singularly-tenanted ship which grates upon civilized ears; some heathenish, and worse than heathenish talk is calculated to give even more serious offence. This feature of Herman Melville's new work we cannot but deeply regret. It is due to him to say that he has steered clear of much that was objectionable in some of his former tales; and it is all the greater pity, that he should have defaced his pages by occasional thrusts against revealed religion which add nothing to the interest of his story, and cannot but shock readers accustomed to a reverent treatment of whatever is associated with sacred subjects.
... [T]he artist has succeeded in investing objects apparently the most unattractive with an absorbing fascination. The flashes of truth, too, which sparkle on the surface of the foaming sea of thought through which the author pulls his readers in the wake of the whale-ship, -- the profound reflections uttered by the actors in the wild watery chase in their own quaint forms of thought and speech, -- and the graphic representations of human nature in the startling disguises under which it appears on the deck of the Pequod, -- all these things combine to raise The Whale far beyond the level of an ordinary work of fiction. It is not a mere tale of adventures, but a whole philosophy of life, that it unfolds. --London John Bull, October 25 1851

This sea novel is a singular medley of naval observation, magazine article writing, satiric reflection upon the conventionalisms of civilized life, and rhapsody run mad. So far as the nautical parts are appropriate and unmixed, the portraiture is truthful and interesting. Some of the satire, especially in the early parts, is biting and reckless. The chapter-spinning is various in character; now powerful from the vigorous and fertile fancy of the author, now little more than empty though sounding phrases. The rhapsody belongs to wordmongering where ideas are the staple; where it takes the shape of narrative or dramatic fiction, it is phantasmal -- an attempted description of what is impossible in nature and without probability in art; it repels the reader instead of attracting him....
The "marvellous" injures the book by disjointing the narrative, as well as by its inherent want of interest, at least as managed by Mr. Melville....
... [M]r. Melville's mysteries provoke wonder at the author rather than terror at the creation; the soliloquies and dialogues of Ahab, in which the author attempts delineating the wild imaginings of monomania, and exhibiting some profoundly speculative views of things in general, induce weariness or skipping; while the whole scheme mars, as we have said, the nautical continuity of story -- greatly assisted by variuous chapters of a bookmaking kind.
The strongest point of the book is its "characters." Ahab, indeed, is a melodramatic exaggeration, and Ishmael is little more than a mouth-piece; but the harpooners, the mates, and several of the seamen, are truthful portraitures of the sailor as modified by the whaling service....
It is a canon with some critics that nothing should be introduced into a novel which it is physically impossible for the writer to have known: thus, he must not describe the conversation of miners in a pit if they all perish. Mr. Melville hardly steers clear of this rule, and he continually violates another, by beginning in the autobiographical form and changing ad libitum into the narrative.... Such is the go-ahead method. --London Spectator, October 25 1851

 

[lop]

The rarely imagined character [Ahab] has been grievously spoiled, nay altogether ruined, by a vile overdaubing with a coat of book-learning and mysticism; there is no method in his madness; and we must needs pronounce the chief feature of the volume a perfect failure, and the work itself inartistic. There is nevertheless in it, as we have already hinted, abundant choice reading for those who can skip a page now and then, judiciously....
Mr. Melville has crowded together in a few prefatory pages a large collection of brief and pithy extracts from authors innumerable, such as one might expect as headings for chapters. We do not like the innovation. It is having oil, mustard, vinegar, and pepper served up as a dish, in place of being scientifically administered sauce-wise. --William Young, in New York Albion, November 22 1851

The narrative is constructed in Herman Melville's best manner. It combines the various features which form the chief attractions of his style, and is commendably free from the faults which we have before had occasion to specify in this powerful writer. The intensity of the plot is happily relieved by minute descriptions of the most homely processes of the whale fishery. We have occasional touches of the subtle mysticism, which is carried to such an inconvenient excess in Mardi, but it is here mixed up with so many tangible and odorous realities, that we always safely alight from the excursion through mid-air upon the solid deck of the whaler....
... We part with the adventurous philosophical Ishmael, truly thankful that the whale did not get his head, for which we are indebted for this wildly imaginative and truly thrilling story. We think it the best production which has yet come from that seething brain, and in spite of its lawless flights, which put all regular criticism at defiance, it gives us a higher opinion of the author's originality and power than even the favorite and fragrant first-fruits of his genius, the never-to-be-forgotten Typee. --Horace Greeley, in New York Tribune, November 22 1851

A new work by Herman Melville, entitled Moby ****; or, the Whale, has just been issued by Harper and Brothers, which, in point of richness and variety of incident, originality of conception, and splendor of description, surpasses any of the former productions of this highly successful author.... [T]he author has contrasted a romance, a tragedy, and a natural history, not without numerous gratuitous suggestions on psychology, ethics, and theology. Beneath the whole story, the subtle, imaginative reader may perhaps find a pregnant allegory, intended to illustrate the mystery of human life. Certain it is that the rapid, pointed hints which are often thrown out, with the keenness and velocity of a harpoon, penetrate deep into the heart of things, showing that the genius of the author for moral analysis is scarcely surpassed by his wizard power of description.
... Frequent graphic and instructive sketches of the fishery, of sea-life in a whaling vessel, and of the manners and customs of strange nations are interspersed with excellent artistic effect among the thrilling scenes of the story.... These sudden and decided transitions form a striking feature of the volume. Difficult of management, in the highest degree, they are wrought with consummate skill. To a less gifted author, they would inevitably have proved fatal. He has not only deftly avoided their dangers, but made them an element of great power. They constantly pique the attention of the reader, keeping curiosity alive, and presenting the combined charm of surprise and alternation. --George Ripley, in Harper's New Monthly Magazine, December 1851

Thrice unlucky Herman Melville!...
This is an odd book, professing to be a novel; wantonly eccentric; outrageously bombastic; in places charmingly and vividly descriptive. The author has read up laboriously to make a show of cetalogical learning.... Herman Melville is wise in this sort of wisdom. He uses it as stuffing to fill out his skeleton story. Bad stuffing it makes, serving only to try the patience of his readers, and to tempt them to wish both him and his whales at the bottom of an unfathomable sea....
The story of this novel scarcely deserves the name.... Mr. Melville cannot do without savages so he makes half of his dramatis personae wild Indians, Malays, and other untamed humanities.... What the author's original intention in spinning his preposterous yarn was, it is impossible to guess; evidently, when we compare the first and third volumes, it was never carried out....
Having said so much that may be interpreted as a censure, it is right that we should add a word of praise where deserved. There are sketches of scenes at sea, of whaling adventures, storms, and ship-life, equal to any we have ever met with....
Mr. Herman Melville has earned a deservedly high reputation for his performances in descriptive fiction. He has gathered his own materials, and travelled along fresh and untrodden literary paths, exhibiting powers of no common order, and great originality. The more careful, therefore, should he be to maintain the fame he so rapidly acquired, and not waste his strength on such purposeless and unequal doings as these rambling volumes about spermaceti whales. --London Literary Gazette, December 6 1851

... [W]e have nothing to allege against his admission among the few writers of the present day who give evidence of some originality; but, while disposed to concede to Mr. Melville a palm of high praise for his literary excellencies, we must enter our decided protest against the querulous and cavilling innuendoes which he so much loves to discharge, like barbed and poisoned arrows, against objects that should be shielded from his irreverent wit....
... In whatever light [Moby-****] may be viewed, no one can deny it to be the production of a man of genius. The descriptive powers of Mr. Melville are unrivalled.... Language in the hands of this master becomes like a magician's wand

Mr. Melville is evidently trying to ascertain how far the public will consent to be imposed upon. He is gauging, at once, our gullibilty and our patience. Having written one or two passable extravagancies, he has considered himself privileged to produce as many more as he pleases, increasingly exaggerated and increasingly dull.... In bombast, in caricature, in rhetorical artifice -- generally as clumsy as it is ineffectual -- and in low attempts at humor, each one of his volumes has been an advance among its predecessors.... Mr. Melville never writes naturally. His sentiment is forced, his wit is forced, and his enthusiasm is forced. And in his attempts to display to the utmost extent his powers of "fine writing," he has succeeded, we think, beyond his most sanguine expectations.
The truth is, Mr. Melville has survived his reputation. If he had been contented with writing one or two books, he might have been famous, but his vanity has destroyed all his chances for immortality, or even of a good name with his own generation. For, in sober truth, Mr. Melville's vanity is immeasurable. He will either be first among the book-making tribe, or he will be nowhere. He will centre all attention upon himself, or he will abandon the field of literature at once. From this morbid self-esteem, coupled with a most unbounded love of notoriety, spring all Mr. Melville's efforts, all his rhetorical contortions, all his declamatory abuse of society, all his inflated sentiment, and all his insinuating licentiousness.
Typee was undoubtedly a very proper book for the parlor, and we have seen it in company with Omoo, lying upon tables from which Byron was strictly prohibited, although we were unable to fathom those niceties of logic by which one was patronized, and the other proscribed. But these were Mr. Melville's triumphs. Redburn was a stupid failure, Mardi was hopelessly dull, White-Jacket was worse than either; and, in fact, it was such a very bad book, that, until the appearance of Moby ****, we had set it down as the very ultimatum of weakness to which its author could attain. It seems, however, that we were mistaken.
We have no intention of quoting any passages just now from Moby ****. The London journals, we understand, "have bestowed upon the work many flattering notices," and we should be loth to combat such high authority. But if there are any of our readers who wish to find examples of bad rhetoric, involved syntax, stilted sentiment and incoherent English, we will take the liberty of recommending to them this precious volume of Mr. Melville's. --New York United States Magazine and Democratic Review, January 1852

VSDA goes to bat for Ohio retailers


By Ann Donahue


MAY 6 | The VSDA on Monday joined a federal lawsuit to overturn an Ohio law that would restrict the access of minors to content deemed to depict violence, glamorize crime or include foul language or sexual content.

Ohio governor Bob Taft on Monday signed a bill that would prevent videos, videogames, music or books that fall under this description to be sold, rented, loaned or in any way distributed to minors, including via the Internet. If legal wrangling does not tie up the legislation, it will take effect Aug. 6.

"According to our analysis, the Ohio law would criminalize the rental or sale to minors of many popular motion pictures, including every one of the last 10 best picture Oscar winners," said Sean Bersell, VP of public affairs at the VSDA. "VSDA is committed to defending the First Amendment rights of retailers and their customers. So we are challenging this law to make sure that video stores are not prosecuted for providing customers with the entertainment of their choice and to allow parents -- and not government officials -- to decide what is appropriate for their children."

Besides the VSDA, other plaintiffs in the case include the Association of American Publishers, the National Association of Recording Merchandisers and the American Booksellers Foundation, all of which are members of the Media Coalition, a group that fights perceived censorship.

H. Louis Sirkin, one of the attorneys for the plaintiffs, said a federal appeals court in 1992 struck down a similar law in Missouri. He said he expects the same to be done in the case.

"Although the legislature and governor were repeatedly informed of the unconstitutionality of restricting material depicting or describing violence, glorifying crime or containing repeated foul language, the legislature nevertheless reaffirmed these unconstitutional provisions and the governor signed the bill," Sirkin said in a statement.

The provision against distributing content on the Internet leads to another legal snarl, according to the plaintiffs' attorneys, noting again that similar laws in states including Arizona, Michigan and Vermont have been ruled unconstitutional.

"The Internet, like our railways and highways, provides channels for interstate commerce that may not be burdened by inconsistent laws from state to state," said attorney Michael Bamberger. "The commerce clause (of the U.S. Constitution) prohibits a law such as this that conceivably imposes Ohio standards on persons posting Web pages or sending messages in any other state."

The filing of this suit is the latest in a string of legal action taken by the VSDA. Several weeks ago, the organization's legal advocacy efforts were dealt a setback by a federal judge in Missouri, which denied a request for summary judgment against a law that would make it illegal to sell or rent videogames to minors without parental consent.

Rep. Joe Baca (D-Calif.) cited the law upheld by the federal court in Missouri when he introduced legislation last week that would penalize retailers and rental stores that give children access to videogames that are sexually explicit or violent.

"Sex and violence sells videogames, but it can't just be about the money," he said in a statement. "Parents have to take responsibility for their children and monitor where they are learning their behavior from, but stores have a community responsibility to help keep kids from harmful material as well."

The acts that Baca objects to in videogames are those that basically comprise the plot of Rockstar's "Grand Theft Auto III": decapitation, amputation, mutilation, the killing by the use of an object as a lethal weapon or hand-to-hand fighting, carjacking and prostitution.

Santa Claus

Well, I saw this week the first inklings of his presence. Those elves have put out the XBox, the Cube, Game Boy advance and many items for his upcoming overnight delivery. He goes by many names:

Godfather Christmas
Kris Kringle
Saint Nicholas
Fat homey in the red hat
Saint Nick
Santey Clause
Old Saint Nick
Anyway, it is nice to know that he will be dropping in this year with new electronics. For those non believers, read elsewhere whether from Virginia, called Virginia or not.

Heck if he were not real how come one of my daughters got two of the same items a year ago. Both Santa and I gave her the same thing. I took mine back to the store for a refund.

There have been many posts about the best and the worst games. For X-mas, however, consider new ones like Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Maybe a new OS would be the eXPerience you hope for at Christmas. Perhaps Santa will install Zhoulomcrypt for your new computer you get. Only (fill in blank based on release) shopping days left so go lift the economy guys.

Well, I'm back in the saddle again.

This week saw increased activity in the Off Topic Forum (we had a severe drop off there for a couple of weeks). There were several threads a couple of weeks ago about your favorite game - now there is one about your least favorite game. Check it out here: Worst Games of All Time.

If you are questioning the use of Enhanced Damage and Increased Attack Speed jewels - this topic will help you understand them better - It helped me to not make the mistake that I was about to! Check it out: Do ED and IAS Jewels work on anything?

Mercenaries - What to do with them. There is a mystery on what/when and how to use Mercs. Here are a couple of threads that may help you in your search for answer (Left). Personally I prefer the following general mercs for the character classes (Right):


Mercs Leveling

Act 2 Def Merc or Act 5 Barb? (Sorceress)
Barbarian (any) - Iron Wolf: Cold
Paladin (any) - Barbarian
Druid (Summoner) - Paladin: Thorns
Druid (Shapechanger) - Iron Wolf: Cold
Necro (Summoner) - Paladin: Thorns
Necro (non Summoner) - Barbarian
Assassin (non Trapper) - Iron Wolf: Cold
Assassin (Trapper) - Barbarian
Sorceress (any)- Barbarian
Amazon (Bow) - Barbarian
Amazon (Jav) - Iron Wolf: Cold

Now, If only I could get my merc to hire an assistant!

have seen a lot of reviews for the XBox. It doesn't look too bad. The games out for it aren't that great, but it doesn't seem to please me as much as the Playstation 2 does. Speaking of Playstation 2, Metal Gear Solid 2 has been out for a couple weeks -- I suggest all that have a Playstation 2 that this is really the first must have game! I repeat, must have game! Most of the games aren't really "must haves," but are really good. For instance, Grand Turismo 3: A-Spec, heard lots of great review of this game, looks great, I am a big fan of Grand Turismo. Grand Theft Auto 3, looks great, if I only had a Playstation 2, this would make my dreams all come true. Those are the only 3 games that I really care about.

Anyways let's get busy with it! Just announcing to everyone, that me and Larias (Eastern Sun; MonkeyMOD.) has decided to come up with the Harry Potter Mod. We have big plans for it, it seems like a major project. I haven't spoken to Larias since three days before Thanksgiving. If anyone knows how to create a mod and would like to help, please e-mail me.

The new Windows operating system (OS) is out; Windows XP Professional (Kind of like Windows 2000 Professional) and Windows XP Home (kind of like Windows ME). I have been running Windows XP Professional for about two months now and haven't had any problems with Diablo II running. Windows XP Professional is the best OS experience I have had with Windows.

Empire Earth has been released! I have wanted to get this game since I first saw previews for it. It uses time periods all the way back to the beginning of man till the 22nd century, I believe. It is supposed to be like Age of Empires; it has the same engine, but it has more of a single player game than multiplayer.

Well, I saw this week the first inklings of his presence. Those elves have put out the XBox, the Cube, Game Boy advance and many items for his upcoming overnight delivery. He goes by many names:

Godfather Christmas
Kris Kringle
Saint Nicholas
Fat homey in the red hat
Saint Nick
Santey Clause
Old Saint Nick
Anyway, it is nice to know that he will be dropping in this year with new electronics. For those non believers, read elsewhere whether from Virginia, called Virginia or not.

Heck if he were not real how come one of my daughters got two of the same items a year ago. Both Santa and I gave her the same thing. I took mine back to the store for a refund.

There have been many posts about the best and the worst games. For X-mas, however, consider new ones like Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Maybe a new OS would be the eXPerience you hope for at Christmas. Perhaps Santa will install Zhoulomcrypt for your new computer you get. Only (fill in blank based on release) shopping days left so go lift the economy guys.

Well, I'm back in the saddle again.

This week saw increased activity in the Off Topic Forum (we had a severe drop off there for a couple of weeks). There were several threads a couple of weeks ago about your favorite game - now there is one about your least favorite game. Check it out here: Worst Games of All Time.

If you are questioning the use of Enhanced Damage and Increased Attack Speed jewels - this topic will help you understand them better - It helped me to not make the mistake that I was about to! Check it out: Do ED and IAS Jewels work on anything?

Mercenaries - What to do with them. There is a mystery on what/when and how to use Mercs. Here are a couple of threads that may help you in your search for answer (Left). Personally I prefer the following general mercs for the character classes (Right):


Mercs Leveling
Act2 Merc
Act1 Rogue Hireling Question
Merc question
Resistances of Mercs
Merc for a Zon?
Merc (Druid)
Bowmancer: Thorn or Might Merc?
Ebolous' Guide (See Entry #8)
Best All Around Merc for a Paladin
Act 2 Def Merc or Act 5 Barb? (Sorceress)
Barbarian (any) - Iron Wolf: Cold
Paladin (any) - Barbarian
Druid (Summoner) - Paladin: Thorns
Druid (Shapechanger) - Iron Wolf: Cold
Necro (Summoner) - Paladin: Thorns
Necro (non Summoner) - Barbarian
Assassin (non Trapper) - Iron Wolf: Cold
Assassin (Trapper) - Barbarian
Sorceress (any)- Barbarian
Amazon (Bow) - Barbarian
Amazon (Jav) - Iron Wolf: Cold

Now, If only I could get my merc to hire an assistant!

have seen a lot of reviews for the XBox. It doesn't look too bad. The games out for it aren't that great, but it doesn't seem to please me as much as the Playstation 2 does. Speaking of Playstation 2, Metal Gear Solid 2 has been out for a couple weeks -- I suggest all that have a Playstation 2 that this is really the first must have game! I repeat, must have game! Most of the games aren't really "must haves," but are really good. For instance, Grand Turismo 3: A-Spec, heard lots of great review of this game, looks great, I am a big fan of Grand Turismo. Grand Theft Auto 3, looks great, if I only had a Playstation 2, this would make my dreams all come true. Those are the only 3 games that I really care about.

Anyways let's get busy with it! Just announcing to everyone, that me and Larias (Eastern Sun; MonkeyMOD.) has decided to come up with the Harry Potter Mod. We have big plans for it, it seems like a major project. I haven't spoken to Larias since three days before Thanksgiving. If anyone knows how to create a mod and would like to help, please e-mail me.

The new Windows operating system (OS) is out; Windows XP Professional (Kind of like Windows 2000 Professional) and Windows XP Home (kind of like Windows ME). I have been running Windows XP Professional for about two months now and haven't had any problems with Diablo II running. Windows XP Professional is the best OS experience I have had with Windows.

Empire Earth has been released! I have wanted to get this game since I first saw previews for it. It uses time periods all the way back to the beginning of man till the 22nd century, I believe. It is supposed to be like Age of Empires; it has the same engine, but it has more of a single player game than multiplayer.

Arizona Fire: "Nature in control"
Winds of 40 miles per hour threatened to push two wildfires together this weekend and create a huge burn in east-central Arizona. "We are very much not in control. Nature is in control," said fire information officer Jim Paxon.

A Brief Guide to Quake II Expressions
--------------------------------------------

GG - Polite way to express the phrase "Good Game." Comes in countless variations: ggz, gg's, ggs, ggame, etc.

GM - Polite way to express the phrase "Good Match."

RAPE - I am dead.

LAME - I am dead.

BAH - I am dead.

**** - I am dead.

DAMN - I am dead.

LAG - I am dead, but it's not my fault.

LAAAAAAAG - I am dead, but it's not my fault, really, it's not.

SIGH - Polite way to express the phrase "I am dead."

**** - I am not happy I am dead.

**** YOU - I am REALLY not happy I am dead and it's ALL your damn fault!

OW - I am dead. Comes in many variations: ouch, ow-ow-ow, oof, ow-chee-wa-wa, etc.

&%#$($*@! - I have trouble accepting the fact that I am dead.

WTF - What The ****! Translation: I'm really dead aren't I.

FAG - I am dead and I am an ignorant homophobe.

***** - I am dead and I am a ignorant sexist.

****** - I am dead and I am an ignorant racist.

NICE - I am dead, and my opponent exhibited grace and style in making the kill.

N1 - Nice One. (See "NICE")

HEHE - Hehe.

HAHAHA - Hahaha.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA - Evil laugh meant to convey that I am evil and I am laughing. Variation: MUHAHAHAHAHA.

LOL - Laugh Out Loud.

ROFL - Rolling On Floor Laughing. A horizontal, spastic LOL.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - Taunt generally meant to convey the fact that "You are dead." Further conveys immaturity and the inability to live confortably with one's own testosterone.

SPANKED - I killed you.

OWNED - I killed you, I killed you, I killed you, and I have low self-esteem outside this game.

WAH - Someone, somewhere, for no apparent reason, is whining.

NP - No problem

J/K - Just kidding.

SNAFU - Situation Normal, All ****ed Up.

STFU - Shut The **** Up.

THAT WAS GAY - You killed me, you big brute. Oh, and by the way, I am a homophobe.

YOU'RE A BOT - You are sure killing lots of people for being a no talent clod....like me.

THX - Thank you. Comes in many variations: thanks, thanx, thnx, etc.

OMG - Oh My God. You killed me... badly. (See "SPANKED")

OMFG - Oh My ****ing God. You killed me REALLY badly. (See "OWNED")

******

In addition, Quakers will also see the following subtle manifestations of their opponents' emotions:

- I smile
=) - I smile gleefully.
:-) - I smile and I have a nose.
:/\) - I smile and I have a really BIG nose.
8) - I wear glasses.
|-P - I squint and stick my tongue out at you.
:-( - I am not a happy camper.
- I wink at you.
:_( - Can you see my tears?
P-) - I am a pirate, "Yo Ho Haha."
(: - I have a wrinkled forehead and can't find my lips.
?;^) - I have too much time and I like to show off.
((:-) - I don't get it yet (or) I'm schizophrenic.

******

Most expressions are delivered by players who are recently dead, and vary only in the degree of indignation they feel over the way they got that way. Players who are not dead quickly find out that typing while playing is a quick way to join those on the "other side." The choices players make often reveal more about their character, education and status as intelligent citizens of a crowded planet than it does about their opponent, the game, gameplay or the manner of their death.
"Better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt."
'Nuff said.
