Woops, sorry got distracted. Pat - I got a RL commissh from her before. It was great, I was totally fine with her RL prices but if I'm gonna spend money on art, I'd rather buy it directly then pay for a pixel item that will barely get me a waist up sketch when for the same price I can get a FB with shading and a slight background on DA without going through Gaia. Flutter - I could print out a list of artists I'd recommend. Lol http://sinskat.webs.com/apps/photos/I tried to tag every picture with the artist who drew it (in my galleries, but not Cog's unfortunately. I don't know his.)

The text doesn't fit as perfect as I wanted to on the image, so it's hard to read for a lot of reasons.
Can't say I have. I saw it a number of times from Cog's photobucket. He's got a few more like images, so he might know.

Matanago themightyjello Instead I just spent 17 hours playing Professor Layton over the last 2 days. Very yes. And now I have to decide between the 2nd Phoenix Wright game of the 2nd Professor Layton game...

The 2006 album has seeds, but he wants the albums from 2002 and before.
Untracked still means he can't torrent them until they start tracking again. And who knows when that could be.

The darkened letters of the text have a separate message from the body of the essay that is written.
It's interesting to look at.

It's all one text body. The problem is that words get cut off at the edge and stray letters rap around to the other side. Then the letters follow the image and change size/color in the middle of a word which cramps the letters together or spaces them too far apart. I still like it. What it says is a series of quotes that fit for Tombs' convoluted backstory. Quote: IF ALL HUMAN EVENTS POSSESS PURPOSE, THEN ALL HUMAN DEEDS POSSESS PURPOSE. AND YET WHEN MEN VIE WITH MEN, THE PURPOSE OF NO MAN COMES TO FRUITION: THE RESULT ALWAYS FALLS SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. THE PURPOSE OF DEEDS, THEN, CANNOT DERIVE FROM THE PURPOSES OF MEN,BECAUSE ALL MEN VIE WITH ALL MEN. THIS MEANS THE DEEDS OF MEN MUST BE WILLED BY SOMETHING OTHER THAN MEN. FROM THIS IT FOLLOWS THAT WE ARE ALL SLAVES.
WHO THEN IS OUR MASTER?
THERE IS A CYCLE OF TALES THAT BEGINS LONG, LONG AGO WHEN THE HUMAN GODS DECREED THAT ALL THEIR MORTAL CHILDREN SHALL KNOW SORROW, LOSS, AND DEFEAT IN THE COURSE OF THE LIVES THEY WERE GIVEN. LIVES OF PURE JOY, OF PERFECT SUFFICIENCY AND CONSTANT VICTORY, THE GODS RESERVED FOR THEMSELVES. NOW IT CAME TO PASS THAT ONE PARTICULAR MAN HAD RUN NEARLY HIS ENTIRE ALLOTED SPAN, AND HE HAD NEVER KNOWN DEFEAT. SORROWS HE HAD, LOSSES HE HAD TAKEN, BUT REVERSALS THAT OTHER MEN WOULD CALL DEFEAT WERE TO HIM NO MORE THAN OBSTACLES; EVEN THE WORST OF HIS ROUTS WAS, TO HIM, A STRATEGIC WITHDRAWAL. HE COULD BE KILLED, BUT NEVER CONQUERED.FOR HIM, THE ONLY DEFEAT WAS SURRENDER; AND HE WOULD NEVER SURRENDER. AND SO IT SOON FOLLOWED THAT THE KING OF THE HUMAN GODS UNDERTOOK TO TEACH THIS PARTICULAR MAN THE MEANING OF DEFEAT. THE KING OF THE GODS TOOK AWAY THIS MAN'S CAREER - TOOK AWAY HIS GIFT FOR THE ART THAT HE LOVED AND THAT HAD MADE HIM FAMOUS - AND STILL THIS PARTICULAR MAN DID NOT SURRENDER.THE KING OF THE GODS TOOK AWAY THIS MAN'S POSSESSIONS - TOOK AWAY HIS HOME, HIS WEALTH, AND THE RESPECT OF HIS PEOPLE - AND STILL THIS MAN DID NOT SURRENDER. IN THE FINAL STORY OF THIS CYCLE, THE KING OF THE GODS TAKES AWAY THIS MAN'S SELF RESPECT, TO TEACH HIM THE MEANING OF THE HELPLESSNESS THAT GOES WITH DEFEAT. AND IN THE END - THE COMMON END, FOR ALL THOSE WHO CONTEND WITH GODS - THIS PARTICULAR MAN SURRENDERS, AND DIES...
AND THAT REVELATION MURDERED ALL THAT I ONCE DID KNOW. WHERE ONCE I ASKED OF THE GOD, WHO ARE YOU? I NOW ASK, WHO AM I?
NO DECISION IS SO FINE AS TO NOT BIND US TO ITS CONSEQUENCES.
NO CONSEQUENCE IS SO UNEXPECTED AS TO ABSOLVE US OF OUR DECISIONS.
NOT EVEN DEATH.

It'd be more helpful if you checked the torrents for seeders first.
Not connecting to the seeder, Fen. Fix this.

I know that second quote, the long bit, from somewhere. I've read it before. Always liked it.

Thanks for showing me that Hanging Man.
It's a good read. My favorite is the part about consequences and decisions.
It still looks like the darkened letters form into a separate message. This isn't intentional?

And now I have to decide between the 2nd Phoenix Wright game of the 2nd Professor Layton game... Not gonna lie, PW2 isn't very fun nor memorable. The last case is great, but it takes so long to actually get to it that it's almost not worth it. PW3 is amazing, though. Professor Layton 2 is even more awesome than the original. If you want a good game right now I'd go with diabolical box.
