Lol…so did you get the Lara photos the first time around? I imagine they got trafficked fairly hard in the Bluesosphere.

I’m guessing my team affiliation is fairly obvious given my name of Kashinboner.

I laugh when non-Melbournites think it is a rude name – just flying the flag.

Thanks for the tip…might try a WSG now.

Am I that transparent? I am a Carlton supporter… My 3yo has been screaming Carn the Blues at the TV since he was 18 month… No matter who was playing… Even tho his mother is a Magpies supporter…

My secret for the other BGs… Play to the objectives – get the flag, the gate, the resource, or protect it.

Even if you lose you know you were playing to win. When you win you can be proud that you were a part of it.

For a minute there bloke I thought you were a Carlton supporter!

My favourite hobby in game is title collector, but it is getting too hard now….most of the ones left are either for uber-young people with quick reflexes (my late 30something bones are not as good any more)….or are just insanely tedious (i would love to get justicar….but AB & WSG rep is just far too slow)

What’s your secret on enjoying PvP that isn’t AV or Isle?

Good to know the Gnome is still alive and kicking. Scrolling down through your screen shots I am definitely living vicariously through you.

Do what’s fun in game… Write about your fun, writing will be fun, the readers will have fun and be inspired by your joy.

Ahhh yes, walls of text can be so much quicker and easier, especially if I font include links… But you know me, I can never stop at just one link…

Actually WordPress’ media management is very simple, occasionally a bit basic, but generally upload and insert – that’s it. You know, for all the screenshots I use, I’ve used 1/8 of my free WP image limit… Need to include more

As for the editing I use a freeware (or shareware, can’t remember right now) tool called infranview.

A simple drag of the mouse, crop and save is usually as far as I go. WP handles the rest… Occasionally I special effect some text away… Same thing, select the block, randomly choose effect – text gone.

The text in this post took 10-15 minutes… The loading of the pics… A hour… but the text would have been meaningless!

Good heavens. You know what: I can’t understand how you get time to do all of this image handling and formatting. If I did a screenshot post like this it would take me weeks or even months to put together a single one. You know the cutting, reformatting, renaming, loading it to the blog tool…. That takes so much more time than writing walls of texts. Have you got some secret little helper that does this for you? A magic wand? I’m curious.

You have been a busy little gnome! I hope I manage to have such elaborate and fun blog posts as this some day

Pure madness!

I get frustrated at how many lead in quests I skipped… They would have made life so much easier…

Do I get to have an affair with an Aussie model?

No not footballer!
