Hi Edcrab! Yeah, I still exist, though in a slightly different format. I'm afraid I don't check in here very often (obviously!) and hardly ever have time to do any fun writing anymore. I'm hoping that'll change in the somewhere in the future, but we'll see. I miss the old days too. I...

I'll be happy to send you an invite to HLR, it you're still interested. Most of us are in North America, so the times might be odd. There's a lot of stuff to learn early on in the game that will make it much easier for you. If you have any questions or need help with anything, feel free to...

ArenaNet will begin offering free access keys on Friday for their Jan. 20-22 preview of chapter 2, Guild Wars: Factions. The preview is available even if you do not have an existing Guild Wars account. You can find the full article here. HLR will probably be forming a temporary guild for...

Keep in mind that you can PvP any time you want using character with the maximum attribute points, max armor and weapons. As you unlock skills, items and runes in PvE, they'll become available to you for PvP. Once you start, you'll earn faction, which you can then use to unlock things, as...

I voted GW. I’ll admit I’ve never played WoW, but from what I hear about it, I think I’d grow bored pretty fast. For my $50 and no monthly fees, I’ve had hours and hours of fun playing GW. It seems to me that they are really two very different games, and it really depends on your personal...

I'm curious to know if the driver fix worked for you. Did your problem look something like this? I seem to get this effect mainly in the desert and most often in the mission areas. That screenshot is from a few nights ago when several of us from the HLR guild went through the whole desert...

People with ADD often can hyperfocus. I know I'm capable of getting so involved in something I'm interested in that I won't even hear people talking to me. Having ADD is usually considered a disorder, but people who have it often have strengths that get lost among the problems. I've...

I always knew there was something creepy about him...

What was this meant to be? A permanent home for featured stories?

Ahhhh.... Such a satisfying ending. I think Sulkdodds summed it up very well with his post: Everything tied up so well, from Maintonons plans to Quarirs development from a self-serving jerk into someone who has concern for others beside himself. I liked Charlies bit at the end there too...

Desperate Measures Epilogue _____________________________________________________________ Sounds were the first thing to come back. Murmuring voices and quiet footsteps in the distance, paper rustling and the occasional whir of machinery. They all seemed to echo as though coming through...

:o :( ;( I can't believe it's actually coming to an end! Thank goodness for epilogues. I've enjoyed this story so much, especially how it evolved over time. I'm really going to miss Quarir, Nuri, Pyotr and all of the other great characters. I need to make sure I keep up with your...

Oooo, I'd take this opportunity to promote my story, Desperate Measures, but I don't know if it qualifies as quirky. :( I like it though. :E There's a lot of decent stuff in the fanfiction forum. Sulkdodds started a Very Short Story thread that has some really good stuff in it. And...

I have to agree with Evilsloth and Jintor, shorter paragraphs and spaces between them would make the reading much easier. I did read through the whole thing though. You have some interesting premises and I would like to see where you are going with this. Your biggest weakness seems to be...

:O More familiar faces! Ah, I liked the sense of quiet chaos going on in that scene. Well, maybe not quite so quiet.... Oooo, what's next??
