acheron

I started playing CS around the 1.2 version. And I've played on and off until 1.6. Then when my friend started playing CSS, I kinda started too.Sure it was kind of dreadful going from those ugly models and such in CS, but once you get used to CSS you can't go back. It's more balanced, AWP isn't as good as it was for CS.

I doubt this game is supposed to under FPS. More like Third person shooter. :)And I can't wait until it gets released for PS2.. damn Nintendo for stealing it! It seemed very cool when I watched the demo video.And I love all the RE games.

Quake 4 isn't as good as Quake 2 was when it came and Q4 isn't really that good as a sequel to Q2, but as a independant game, it kicks *bottom*.It has those Doom3 tendencies such as the darkness, but you can live with that. You can also live with the obnoxious sounds all the monsters do.Some designs on the monsters is very bad, but it's still a game worth playing through.

I use Trillian, it combines AIM/ICQ/YAHOO/IRC/MSN.And I'll probably start using Skype soon. :)But as a single IM, I prefer MSN too. Even though it's Mircoshit. ;)Pardon my language.

FEAR is awesome.Graphics could be better, but yeah, I only have a Radeon 9600xt.I love the atmosphere of the entire darkness/music/effects.It gives me the chills and everytime that "girl" shows up I jump out of my chair. It's like playing Silent Hill but as FPS and for PC.It's bloody and very action/horror filled. :)BUY IT NOW!

If you are using Windows XP and think your computer is slow, you have trouble
with things and more. Then WinXP Manager is something for you. You can optimize and clean fix and edit Windows. It's easy to use and not as hard and problematic as using regedit, services.msc and etc, to alter windows.

Some things you can do with WinXP manager:
*Disable thumbs.db
*Speed up your system by disabling indexing and other unnecessary
functions you do not need.
*Do system repairs (scan system files, restore desktop icons, fix shutdown and etc.)
*And alot more!

I use Photoshop CS for layouts, ImageReady for animations and such.And Dreamweaver MX 2004 for webpages. :)That combo pwns.

I love Spybot and Blaster, but Ad-aware is still needed. (you need multiple instances to remove the most of the **** you have on your computer.)

I wish I could do the same with Anti-Virus.. but they conflict..
If you find odd files on your harddrives and your AV / Spyware programs can't find anything.
Try this link out, you upload a file, and it checks it with multiple programs. Really useful if you get some kind of new virus.

Taking a year off before I go to university/high school.It's leaning toward Computer Engineer, but who knows.

I got "Acheron" from when I was playing a MUD called EliteMUD

very actively. I got bored of my old and stupid nickname. So, I thought

I would search for a few nicknames and request a name change.

So, I ended up scrolling through http://www.darklyrics.com/ on bandnames.

Just for fun and I found "Acheron" a death metal group. I looked up

the name on wikipedia.

Here's that entry:

[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acheron ]

The Acheron river is in the Epirus region of north west Greece. Acheron translates as "river of woe" and believed to be a branch of the underworld river Acheron over which in ancient Greek mythology Charon ferried the newly dead souls across into Hades.

 

The lake called Acherousia and the river still called Acheron with the nearby ruins of the Necromanteion are found near Parga on the mainland opposite Corfu.

 

Another branch of Acheron was believed to surface at the Acherusian cape (now Eregli in Turkey) and was seen by the Argonauts according to Apollonius of Rhodes.

 

Greeks settled in Italy identified the Acherusian lake into which Acheron flowed with Lake Avernus.

 

Plato in his Phaedo identified Acheron as the second greatest river in the world, excelled only by Oceanus. He claimed that Acheron flowed in the opposite direction from Oceanus beneath the earth under desert places.

 

The word is also occasionally used as a synecdoche for Hades itself.

 

The god of the river fathered Ascalaphus with Orphne or Gorgyra.

 

Virgil mentions Acheron with the other infernal rivers in his description of the underworld in Book VI of the Aeneid.

 

In Dante's Inferno, the Acheron river forms the border of Hell, in the Ante-Inferno. Following Greek mythology, Charon ferries souls across this river to Hell.

 

In the film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, the Acheron was a French privateer.

 

In Robert E. Howard's antediluvian world, Acheron was a kingdom of darkness that Kull the Conquerer fought to keep from resurfacing.

 

In Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, Acheron is one of the seventeen Outer Planes.

 

In the video-game Soul Calibur II, Acheron is the name of one of the swords of the character Cervantes.

 

In the Alien movie series Acheron is another name for the moon LV-426.

 

In Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series, Acheron Hades is the name of a diabolical villain killed by Thursday in The Eyre Affair.

Uhm.. is there any difference?I can't notice it, maybe you can explain it.

The image edges are a little boring, you should try doing a emboss or something similar. If you aren't using Photoshop, I suggest doing that.But it could always be good to use different applications to first make a rough look on the image.Photoshop is easy and there are several tutorials out there.Such as: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ love that site. I either check that site or do trail and error (play around).But other then the edges, it looks good. I'd pick the second version.
