I guess this means we don't get Lost Tales Part CXLV: Some Notes Dad Threw In His Ashtray.
But in all seriousness, I appreciate the work he did that gave us The Silmarillion.

Monty Python's Terry Jones, dead at 77:

One of the very few pictures in my place is a framed copy of the theatre poster for Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Very sad.
He was the one who was often in drag. Brian's mom!
Loved Terry Jones, he did play an old woman very well. For me not much can compare to the comedy of Monty Python, all of them are/were incredibly funny and clever. Sad, sad loss.
Yah the Python's ruled, sigh :(
ack! sorry you had to suffer that :( bad enough losing yer parentsQuote:

Had a really wonderful (if sometimes bloody frustrating lol) time in EQ, started just around Kunark release, with pals met on the baldurs Gate forums on InterplayQuote:

sigh well McQuaid did start something great :)
even if they did go on to fuck it up totally with Omens of War etc
The fuck-up expansion was Gates, just prior to Omens. There was very little for non-raid characters to do, and raiders despised the flagging system that all but required a warrior, cleric, monk/bard, and enchanter/shaman to carry people through them. Omens fixed those problems, but by the time it arrived the damage was done and everyone was off to WoW.
Original, Kunark, Vellious. After that, I started to question what the hell I was even doing.
What did you eventually find was the answer to your question? Assuming you ever did find the answer.Quote:

Omens mobs were tough (for casuals*), but there were areas (Wall of Slaughter) where casual players could get some really stellar item drops for their gear level. It was balanced risk-reward.
*I say "for casuals" because I can remember zoning into WoS on my cleric, hearing a "train to zone" call, getting my melee setup ready, healing the first person that made the zone tunnel to gain threat, and then killing the entire train with melee. It almost felt like I was playing a different game than the people I saved.
The next expansion to come out after that was shadow of luclin, and it royally screwed my computer, graphics wise. It could not keep up without adjusting the depth of field to almost nothing. So I avoided SoL like the plague, and after watching people spend all their time there instead, I got a girlfriend and pretty much gave up on MMOs besides a brief stint on warcraft and the occasional month long dabble into a session of EQ because an expansion was professed to have changed everything.Quote:

But it is a shame -- he looked like he was going to be one of those rare athletes who would have a significant post-playing life.
Sadly, one of his daughters was with him.

LAPD is trying to tell people not to go to the Staples center because it’s all closed off for the Grammy Awards. GL with that.
