The other day Lone Knight and I were discussing things that could help improve the popularity of the game, and bring more members to the community. One of those things is if the DS movie turns out to be a hit - I really hope it will.

Granted Boll has a very poor trackrecord, but watching the trailer on what appears to be the movie's official site does make me a bit hopeful that it will actually be alright. And I really like that the story isn't just about going after a bad guy but also about saving your love - not a unique storyline but one that I enjoy. It also seems like the movie will feature good music and nice effects.

I started a thread elsewhere about made up book titles and authors. Just because...um...no real reason I suppose. Figured I would share some with any book lovers here.

Self help section:
Oh, poo, nobody cares: A guide to writing better forum threads...by Kathy Crybaby-Fanshiskabob.

From the Modern romance section:
Plain Cotton Brasserie by Hootie McBoob. (I got that name from an episode of the Simpsons. )

There is an old saying that goes something like this:

"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

Now of course, this can be taken too far. Sometimes in the course of events we must offer constructive criticism or feedback to address an issue. People should not ask for feedback if they are unable to handle getting it. However, it really annoys me when somebody says something rude, simply for the sake of being rude. This happened to me twice today, on two seperate websites. I don't get it. True, I am not perfect but I don't see the sense in insulting people just because I can.

Poor Farmgirl, it isn't her fault the game designers decided to make armor look so ugly on her. Even pretty colors and flowers don't help all that much. I made up a few new armors to try out.

Some examples of a5 and a6 armor on a few different female characters: Elfgirl, Catmansion girl and Farmgirl.

Lady Blue...this one isn't horrible on Farmgirl, but it isn't all that great either.

I released my very first armor mod available for download at Herena Forge. (Actually, it is my very first mod of any kind...)

Here is the link to the Wiki to read more about it:

Screenshots of many items are in my image gallery:

A couple of screenshots from the "Summon the Forge" mod. Lots of fun!

Watch out for those Firebats, they are Dutch! :P

I thought of writing this document a long time ago, and decided to sketch out some of the basics as a start... not sure if I'll ever complete it, so here's what I have so far. I originally envisioned embedded links for each subject / external resource, ideally with all the site's modding tutorials linked from this one document (this acting as a sort of overview / tutorial index).

Comments, corrections and suggestions are welcome.
