Welcome back Revned! And about your movies, well I can't say I've ever seen any of them. I don't really know anyone who've knowledgeable in obscure (but high quality) movies with whom I could watch some.

Well, identify is perhaps a strong word. I just really liked the character and found it cool, that's all. Plus, I'vealways had a fondness for the latin names Terra and Luna for Earth and the Moon respectively.

I told Mephea last night one AIM, but she's still taking a break from the mapping world for a while. She isn't intent on leaving for good however, so I'm eager to see her post again (chatting on AIM is kinda hard since she's always playing WoW between replies )

Yeah, Final Fantasy VI all the way; to this day the only videogame RPG I ever really played and finished. I could identify with Terra at the times in that, who wouldn't want to be a living magic weapon of tremendous power?



As for being confused for a female, some people did (I once responded to a sex joke as a male but since the person who made the joke thought I was a girl, she took tremendous offense at my reply, which wasn't helped by the fact that she was bipolar and and in a very volatile mood that day). I had to correct people a few times, though one of my past avatar was a South Park-like face with glasses and goatee which kinda announced my gender right away. I guess it all started with this fascination I have with strong-yet-not-badass-cliche female characters that started way back when with Penny from Inspector Gadget. I moved on from there.



It kinda reminds me of an old PVPOnline comic strip where Francis, the teen gamer, asked if it was weird for him to play a female warrior on a board RPG. He was reassured it was perfectly normal to play out fantasies at his age. The last panel is the same group decades later where he's *still* playing the same  female character and everyone's looking at him in a 'weirded out' way

I don't like my username so much anymore, but it's been my Internet handle for so long I just keep on using it, especially since I have nothing better to use in its place. Most people shorten it to Terra anyway, which looks better anyway. I wish I could find something with Terra in it that sounds good *and* isn't already taken by someone else on the Internet somewhere.

Sorry Inty, it's just that it's a situation that sucks for everyone involved, and we're all hoping that things will be different this time. Understand, this is the 2nd (if not 3rd) time posts are lost on VGMaps so we feel a little burned now and I for one wonder what will be done this time that should have been done a while ago.



If you say backups will be done from now on, then I trust you.

Personally, I'm kinda waiting for the specialized forums to post some of my stuff.



...and I'm still wary of seeing the board being reset a few more times until everything is mostly stable to post anything elaborate...

Man, it's been months since I've seen a movie in a theater, and it was an independant/art film at that. I *could* mention all the DVDs at home that I've yet to see:



-Blues Brothers

-Spinal Tap

-Whisper of the Heart

-Fitzcarraldo



And a few more I can't remember...

The only Tomb Raider game I've played by myself was the first one, and me and a friend played for a good part of the second one and the beginning of the third. While the 2nd was an improvement, the third felt really old and tired compared to the other games on the market at the time. I can only imagine the rest. Hopefully they've got it right this time and will stay on the path of quality.



I've heard they've toned down her bust size, finally. Does she finally look like a human being or is she still stuck in "huge breasts and lips" mode?

There seems to be lots of little things to adjust that were taken for granted on the previous board, like pages displaying the thread's name at the top at the top.



Also, is it me or do the threads feel a little cramped in terms of space? I mean, maybe it's just my imagination, but the font seems a bit smaller than before and when using the GameFAQs display profile, there's no space between the various lines of info in the left column so it's all kinda jumbled up together. It's made worse with the fact that people without avatar instead display a message stating that fact, which is really pointless IMO.

Yeah, and I voted Inty since it's the name I'm the most familiar with.

Hey Eggz! Got my latest email?



(Apparently I don't have the clearance to send a PM yet)

Weird, can't edit posts, though that might be a question of privileges.



Anyway, how do I set the board to display usernames and avatar on the left of the screen?

Glad the board is back, but damn does it suck that all the old threads were lost...



And yeah, I'm kinda wary about all the extra options, as I've always liked things to remain simple. We'll see how things go, although I'm glad we've got PM this time.
