Yup. French has WAY too many tenses and participles in my opinion. I hated learning French as a child, it was so difficult they actually had to use grammar songs that I still remember to this day to help us learn. Every person I know who learned French as a second language said it was harder then English, and every person I know who learned English as a second language said it was easier to learn it than French as a first language. As a French Canadian myself, I must say Moonpearl's English is impeccable and probably better than my own. Here is a link to a way more modern version of a song we used to sing in class to help learn verbs. This song is about conjugating one verb, the verb 'have'.

Loved them both. The first one instantly reminded me of the movie The Gamers: Dorkness Rising. You have good taste.

I understand. I have a few outlines ready but nothing finished yet. When I get the video game related blog all setup, I'll send you the info.

What sprites? You have yet to specify which engine you are working with and what sprites you want done. Please make a typed list of the each and every character you want with 'downed' animations and post it here in your original post. Also do not forget to mention where these sprites are from, if they are easily obtainable, provide a link to them. I can only assume you mean the RTP from one of the rpg maker series, but there is no way to be certain. I can likely help with this too, but without a list I don't want to do work someone else is already/has already done. Keep it nice and organized, make us a list, and updated it as you receive them, and even post here letting us know ones are now complete, or if you were contact personally that someone was completing them. One sentence posts, with no links, and no specifications aren't helpful to either of us.The easier you make it for us, and the more work you do on your end, the more likely you are to get help.

How exactly do I use this feature?

I was referring to MY kitten, it's name is Eviscerator. I dare you to get your own! Grr :)

Love the kitten! Voted. *Happily takes attack kitten and runs off*

Looks great man. That's very logical.

I personally recommend the program GIMP, it's free and should have every feature you need.

Have you ever bought a game, likely a sequel, thinking it was say multiplayer in the same household with one system, one game, and two controllers, only to find out it was online only? Maybe you bought a game thinking it was online with 100's of people to find out it had 4 in a room at one time. Or even bought an online multiplayer game thinking you would play campaign mode together only to find out it was pure versus. The solution to this is simple, research the game before you buy it. However that is much easier said then done in allot of cases. When trying to find out exactly what kind of multiplayer content a game has, one can end up searching forums for hours, wiki pages, game faqs guides, etc etc, just trying to find out exactly how much bang for their multiplayer buck they are going to get. This is the method I used to use a while back until I was told of an amazing site called Co-Optimus.com What this site has done and continues to do, is list all game that have some/any kind of co-op element of game play and sort them by sub categories based on things like 'couch co-op' or 'co-op campaign', or 'split screen', or 'drop-in/drop-out', etc. These can be the important make or break aspects of co-op games for some and are for many such as myself. So if you love co-op games as much as I do take a look at this direct link to their games section, and once you have selected your system (also has the classics too), then you can sub categorize it on the right hand side using check boxes. I hope this helps people find the Co-Op games they want to play as quickly and easily as it helps me to do so. http://www.co-optimus.com/games.php -Cheers

Yeah light green is so vague, if I had of known he wanted teal/turquoise/aqua-marine I would have made it so. Thanks, hair was by hand. Agreed, I would likely not have done this if you had of posted here saying it was complete already. Please keep that in mind when asking for a request, others may waste their time when you already have what you want.

This is posted in the RPG Maker XP section no need to specify the engine, it was by posting here. I don't think the $ sign has anything to do with the problem's occurrence but it could help with a solution. @LegendaryGameMaker I think your problem is that you are using an rpg maker VX/VXAce sprite sheet inside an rpg Maker XP game. They do not both use the same 'frames' per row on the sprite sheet, RMXP=4 frames, RMVX/Ace=3 frames. There are few ways to fix this, there are scripts that allow less/more frames per sprite sheet, as well as you could edit the sheet to be the correct size and frames for the standard rmxp. For that sprite sheet you would move it to a 200x200 sheet, and move each frame 3 to the new frame 4 spot, and duplicate frame 1 to the now open frame 3 spot. If you look at the other sprite sheets from rmxp you should get a good idea of what I mean and what you need to do. If you plan to use many of them, a script may be quicker. The $ symbol could even be the call sign for a script to animate it properly in the game of whoever posted that graphic. Hope that helps. -Cheers

Direct Download Here you go hope it's to your liking. If you need further alterations post here and I will do the best I can.

Agreed. There is likely nothing either of us could say that we haven't already. Drawing attention to it is unneeded since our conversation is over. This topic bleeds into our discussion, since it's over and really no harm came of it, I don't see why it would be removed unless the original poster requests such. The conversation dealt with addiction and the original post was about addiction as said by the original poster. Exactly I couldn't put it better. Some may not be used to mature discussion but agree to disagree is totally an option. I agree, I also didn't consider it intense, but to people on the outside never hearing of either of our sides of the story I could see it appearing to be intense. Considering the two people involved don't consider it as such it likely isn't as tense as it may have appeared. I definitely harbor no ill feelings, that would be silly (and why he was sure I didn't feel that way), as I expected you to not harbor any as well. Let me make it clear that I respect ForeverZer0 more now than I did before (which I did before as well), we have had a meeting of the minds, and I respect him for that even if we disagree. Two people discussing different views shouldn't scare anyone. Yes this wasn't the mature debate section, and yes it was 'off-off topic' but that's where the conversation lead, and that's where it ended, nothing more nothing less. If someone else wants to continue this conversation (without me) then fine start a new thread and request this be moved to it, otherwise there is no point unless the original poster wants it removed. Please no one try to make this into a bad situation because the two people involved don't see it as such.

I was called out as not stating fact when relating substance addiction to compelling addiction. I defended myself, and have been since. I do not wish for my words to be misconstrued, and I am done the substance discussion as I have covered my facts nicely, provided I believe my words can not be taken out of context. When talking about mmo's it most certainly is willpower, like cheeseburgers, or any other life choice. Use in moderation and you'll be fine.

Well you don't believe me, their official website, the showtime show that is now posted on youtube, their official study. You must not believe anything by those standards. Why even post here and share your experiences if you won't believe others? That is biased. You mention the age of the study, and the website 'youtube' does this imply there are alternatives you would believe? "no links I post", so you believe nothing on the internet then? Or nothing I link to? (seems biased either way) What medium do you believe? It was to me, and forced by my government, two wrongs. I was told while in the program that I wasn't participating to my fullest and wouldn't succeed if I didn't join the local church the rest of the AA attendees had joined. I research and looked into and found out that It's their goal which is on their website as god not higher power which they chose the words on it I don't see how whether it's a pamphlet or their website how it's less valid (also considering they both said god in my case). I suppose I should go to the public library, or go to my local AA meeting and grab their literature to prove my experiences as real. I can't speak for NA, but for AA I can, you originally disagreed with my statement towards AA. So I feel obligated to allow the truth to be told not only as I see it based on my experiences but as AA sees it upon themselves. Boy is a derogatory term with bad roots as a moniker for a human through historical documentation in multiple time periods, including this one. I would link you to oxford dictionary for it's definition, but I suppose you wouldn't believe it, I guess words don't have real definitions with root origins and can mean whatever we choose. You are of course free to use whatever words you choose, but they may and often do have certain stigma attached to them. I understand you may not have meant it as such, but that does not change its meaning or the history of it's use in the context you used it in. I apologize for saying you were attempting to attack my credibility. I thought it appropriate, as although I liked the picture it was over 3 years old. And that is what I look like now, where as my old picture is what I looked like then. I'll take the last word, but I by no means am not welcoming you to reply. We obviously disagree on what their belief system is. My literature has never said higher power, and they never spoke of it, only god. I believe I haven't been condescending at all, you appear to not believe my personal experience of forced religion through AA, but I believe your experiences of not being forced (as I have agreed your experience happens, but is not the only experience one can have with AA which you have not agreed to). Seems since I believe you but you won't believe anything I say, it would appear you are being condescending to me. You say my personal experience has clouded my judgement, but you have personal experience too, why are you immune to that statement but I am not? Why is your judgement not clouded but mine is? Thank you for calling me level headed, that should weigh something here. I already agreed not all AA is religious, said my experience was and found out they intended it that way, and showed their literature to prove it. I don't like anything forced upon me especially beliefs, and since that was my experience of AA as well as their chosen public image, I wish to advocate awareness and free choice. I am not sure what else to say. Oh well.

I would like to nominate Bigace for his overall helpful nature in the many aspect he lends aid. He seems to take care in using precise words and I find myself disagreeing with very little he says. I have similar respect for Kell in for the same reasons.

I can't speak for all NA or AA, nor can I confirm the affiliation with AA by any support group, but I can read their official website and speak from my experiences. No need to ask a member because AA posts what they want us to read on their official website, it says god, not higher power. I would tell anyone to try AA if they believe they need help and AA can offer it (I already stated it works, just no better then any other method as stated by their own internal and only available analysis, how is that biased?). I am not advocating against AA, I am advocating against it being the only choice (like SOS, or self methods like I employed), and informing that it is in fact a religious movement by their standards not mine (from AA.org their official website). Which is fine that they are, it's not automatically a good or bad thing, it's just a fact plain and simple (one they don't advertise), and I have never stated otherwise. Out of the two of us you are the only one who has stated bad relations to religion, even if sarcastically or hypothetically. I have never said anything bad about religion during this discussion or meant to imply others words, and I am making that clear now. Now you call me 'boy' in an effort to discredit me, I'm 28 this past May. Sure I'm young, but 'boy'? Maybe 'young man', in any case I actually take that as a compliment. I haven't been a 'boy' since I was 16 and moved out on my own and became an autodidact. What age should I be for my experiences to be valid? I have read the AA book (post addiction), and I have attended their meetings (the ones I was forced to during my addiction), and I am speaking from personal experience plus citing their official literature with examples. My experiences are just as valid as yours. I recognize yours as valid but you refuse to recognize my personal experiences combined with AA's own words as a factual representation of their organization. There for it is you who is biased in your judgment and thoughts on the matter, regardless of your age. I would expect as much of a closed minded individual to leave the discussion after I have discounted all their counter points, but derogatory name calling I did not. I am glad you found the help you needed through whatever means. Good day, and good health.

I believe we have diverted on the original topic, which is my fault by linking 'compelling behavior' to 'addictive behavior' which are separate, but often considered the same. Which is why I originally said anyone had the power to fix themselves, and compared it to drug addiction as I have experience with both real addiction and compelling habits. Foxkit said it best when he said. In any case, the conversation is what it is, but what it is not (at least between me and ForeverZero) is about minecraft. I apologize for causing the digression of this topic.

I love your metaphor, it's perfect in my opinion. And I fully agree even as an atheist myself that religion (some/any) can help people who need it. The problem with AA is it is pushed as the only cure, which factually it is not, I am living proof. It is pushed so much as the only cure in the United States of America it is actually court mandated to attend AA (not a support group of your choice, but specifically AA), this is a breach of the bill of rights for their country because on AA's official website it says 'god' in their 12 steps and specifically giving yourself to him. Religion is a choice, and should not be forced upon people, especially those potentially in need of help. AA and religion can and does help people, I will be the first to admit it. However it is not the only solution by a long shot, and that organization would not have you believing their are alternative methods. I am for freedom of choice and people are free to choose AA to help them, but they must understand it is of religious design (which is fine for some, but not for me so I advocate awareness). Here is a link to their official timeline from their official page, this is how they post their history of their group. http://www.aa.org/aatimeline/ I quote: "The origins of Alcoholics Anonymous can be traced to the Oxford Group, a religious movement popular in the United States and Europe during the early 20th Century." How can that be refuted, that's them saying that, not me. That is a clever way to exclude god, and I commend them for it. Your program sounds like it works the way support groups were intended to. Yes, some groups even affiliated with AA have chosen to change out god for 'higher power', but as you saw their official website says otherwise, and from their history they are a religious movement. I can not speak for your group or your experience, it's likely yours was not of religious intent or design, but that doesn't change the factual history of AA and their affiliate groups based on their presented information. It's on their official website today as their view which says 'god' specifically, not 'higher power' which can mean what you were explained it to be but unfortunately is not how they wish it to be taught, since that's not how they chose to post it for the world to see. If they wanted it to be 'higher power' and mean what you were explained it meant, it would say 'higher power' on their website, but it does not, it say 'god' that's very specific to religion. I quote step 2: "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him." Quote of step 11: "Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out." To pass AA you have to go through all 12 steps with no exceptions, sounds like a rule to me. I can't speak for all AA meetings or all NA meetings or any of their other affiliate anonymous groups, all I can say is that they believe their group is of religious design, and god is on their official website as their view of choice. If the people who represent them in cities across the world do not express their views the way they (designers of the group) intended that's fine, but it does not change its original or current mandate, which is to have it's members give their lives to god, as it says on their official website.

We aren't arguing, I am stating facts as presented by the group in question. It's not an argument it's a discussion. I doubt he's mad (and if he was I would apologize as that is not my intent, it is only to inform fact), and neither am I, that's all that matters. We are both proposing our points and discussing the others when proposed. This is very civil in my opinion.

Sweet, made by Atoa too, that's awesome. Good stuff Bigace, +1 rep for that.

Support groups work great, that's why there is no need at all for a higher power of any kind, that's literally just stuff added on top. You just need a bunch of people with a similar problem around sharing their strength to give you the strength you need, no higher power there. The strength is within yourself and when necessary you can use the help of others to help you find it within yourself, I don't know where the higher power comes into play. A 'high power' is some vague concept, where as people and yourself are real, those are tangible concepts you see to exist and count on that.
