I do not. Quichon bites, I have a death touch. Unless you mean biting rhetoric, then I suppose, but only when provoked. :twisted:
Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.

Considering who you're hanging around with here, Googling "washable keyboard" might not be a bad idea. Some of them are even dishwasher-safe.

I was wondering about that myself. The forum does seem to be a wretched hive of punsters and comedy.

She might have better luck with one of those laser-projected keyboards.

Just saw the new Star wars in 3D. One of the best movies I've seen in a while, and I'm not a Star Wars guy.
There is no such thing as a science experiment gone wrong.

Is it the things in motion on the screen that cause that, or is it just the perceived depth of field in general?
For me it's the motion on the screen not aligning with the motion (or lack thereof) in the theater that usually gets me sick in 3D movies. I sometimes even have trouble with non-3D films if the motion is spinny/loopy enough. :/ That's part of why it's a miracle that this one didn't get me sick...the aerial/space battle scenes were the things I dreaded most going into it, and it turned out to be a non-event. :) A total 180 from when I saw Avatar in 3D...where I had to leave the theater about 1/3 of the way through to throw up in the bathroom, and then stood in the entry hall thingy just out of sight of the screen to "enjoy" the rest of the film. :P

I never watched anything in 3D when I had the chance, and now I can't, so I have to try to just imagine what the effect must be like. All I can do is to imagine "it's like looking at real 3D objects, but contained in the bounds of the screen", but I doubt that it's really quite like that.

Why not? No 3-D capable facilities around or does it make you sick? I guess the other option is you lost an eye, but... Well... :|

3-D, for me, makes it look like I'm watching through garbage, or old GIF's.

That is pretty much what it is like except far away objects are often just as in focus as the close ones which is a break from normal reality that may throw some people's perception off.

We have an inordinately fancy cinema here with all sorts of 3D abilities, and I've never suffered from motion sickness (which seems like it might be related to 3d-sickness), so that's all fine. Having one optic nerve burned out makes stereoscopic vision a tad tricky, however. When watching a 3D movie, I get to sit there wearing some silly uncomfortable glasses and watch a movie in 2D.

Huh. I'd think that the focus would still be normal, since it's all being seen through a camera lens.

Huh. I guess I was right about one eye not working. You didn't exactly lose the whole thing, but it still.
