I think you did ctrl+ on your browser to make the text look small. Do view>then zoom to zoom out. Or ctrl-. Other than that, I dunno.


So that's why avatars and Aquariums looked scrunched, too. gonk Thanks!

And yeah... I'd probably wipe my HD if I had a virus I couldn't get rid of. Just remember you have to turn your computer off after you uninstall Windows, and run the installation disc at the next start-up. I forgot that the last time, which kinda made the whole process a waste of a day. sweatdrop

I was just going to use one of those restore disk thingies that came with my computer. I dunno about uninstalling Windows though.

The CDrom now opens but, again, doesn't play CDs. Oh woe is me. My computer had the only working CD player in the house and now....I killed it because I was teh dumb. I was wondering when I'd fill my dumb quota for the day. -______-

Now it's off to play more Tales to ease my pain. xd ! At least I got arts! heart Heh.

But you helped me fix my dumb mistake! Although you probably would rather your CD player worked. xd

Seriously... how in the hell did I get it zoomed out TWICE? No wonder everything was so tiny. And that's what was messing up Flash frames, too.

I finally got a look at the X-Mas event. It's just one giant goldsink. *has flashbacks of jolly slippers* Oh shi~! eek

Well, at least the manga is good and long, even if they didn't color it. =)

Edit: It's down again. I bet that stupid event chat is what keeps crashing it. I know they've made lots of improvements with GIM, but did they really think all of Gaia could use the same chatroom, at once? There's a reason they abandoned the old 2003 chat design! gonk

xd ! WTF? Only thing I can think of is the Albatross which was the name of a ship (also the name of a bird) in SoA. Heh.


Most of the people who associate with Vyse and Aika don't have anything to do with Skies. But at least a few of the squad members leave with them at the end of the game.

Where did that 10-page section with no pictures come from? gonk I'm going to be up all night again. (10 pages is a lot, since this is the abridged text book and you have to know damned near everything on them.)

And I'm still freezing!

Although, I have to say, it's amusing I found this image of the most disgruntled cardinal ever just before the art for the event went up. xd

Well, on the plus side, he has the bestest baseball team ever named after him.

On a plus note: + to boyfriend points with the listening and the knowing she loves french bread. I also, am in fact, in a much better mood; even if she is a Cubs fan.

Aw, Hoboverseer is adorable.

I got an A+ in Greek and Roman Lit, too! : D Now just gotta wait on Statistics, the one I was REALLY worried about. >__>;;;

Edit: I like how they didn't make new Christmas shop art, and Rina reverted 5+ years... :/

i would have been ok with that if it was because they were prioritizing making the event, you know, work over making new art. unfortunately, that didn't happen either...

AFF: Omg, I've been wondering that forever! Thank you! xd That's hilarious.


Also, CD rom works! :OOO I shut off my computer and then turned it back on. Still I can't install iTunes ever and I still have that virus thinger in there. I dunno.

I really wanted to burn a record player to a CD. Omg. crying My dad's CD rom doesn't work and my brother needs a new CD burner. I have a CD but the program I need needs iTunes! WHY does everything work against me?! WHY!?

Oh well. It's the last present for a cousin. Maybe I'll just get her something stupid instead of Michael Jackson's Thriller. :/ I kinda wanted to burn that CD for myself too.

I like the new Gaia comic too. It's not so corny like it usually is. :/ It's getting there. Also gold sink....agh. I think I'll wait until I know what will get me my items.

It's not like the artists code the event. They were probably working on the manga - it seems to be pretty long and it's not finished yet.

Although the old designs look really weird and blurry with the new shops. I think they should have just not used them for anybody. It's weird - feels like 2009 inverted and collided with 2005.

Edit: You get a few k for doing the event, so if you just throw 2g starter items at the fuel tank, you won't actually be sinking anything. But the more expensive items are usually worth a lot more gingerbread to encourage impatient people to get rid of them.

A Chyanku Norisu scarf is worth 1 gingerbread man. Yelllow G-shades are worth 5. Blue ones re worth 2, but are valued more in the Marketplace.

I have NO idea how this thing is calculated.

Yeah... some of the prices are really weird. Like one gingerbread for a nitemare bustier. And as excessive as over a million gingerbread men is, it's a little cheap for a panda hat. (What the hell would I do with that many gingerbread men? o.o) LOL. RIGs seem to be worth about 50, though.

More common "expensive" items are probably worth more. Don't want to give people too much incentive to get rid of MC's and other limited edition s**t. Or maybe 1 is just the default and they specially programed the ones that are more. *shrug*

I think they reset them again at some point today. As far as I can tell all the MCs seem to be worth 1 now.

Still, the pricing is bizarre. Even if 1000g = 1 gingerbread man it would make sense, but some of these are worth weird amounts.

Oh whatever, I'm just going to toss 5g items into it anyway.
