I liked the various Asterix animated movies, though some of them are several books compounded into one storyline, "Asterix and the Big Fight" is the main one. While I only saw it once years ago in primary school, Ferngully: The Last Rainforest has always been in my memory simply for the (at the time) creepy villian.

For general animated series, "The Adventures of Tintin" are an extremely faithful recreation of the books and I've enjoyed it a lot since I first saw them.

Oh, the Footrot Flats movie is another pretty good one. It's based off a New Zealand comic series about a dog's life on a farm.

For 3D and the like,
"The Nightmare before Christmas" and "Corpsebride" for Tim Burton (I'd like to say Beetlejuice but that's live-action). One I should see sometime is "The Dark Crystal" which was done using puppets from the look of things.

Don't you guys think eating fish contributes to this a bit?

Line of thought:
Eating fish makes you smart => Lots of Asians eat fish => Asians are smart

Unless you're from Minamata.

In my experience as a coastal norwegian, eating lots of fish only makes you dislike fish somewhat. OK, I have a degree in maths and physics, but my grades were poor.

Lutefisk probably counterbalanced the beneficial effects of fish there.

I recall secession talks happening the last time Obama won too. It's more grandstanding by the Tea Party types.

Not that I would mind it if Texas seceded on the condition that its government would always support the emigration of anyone who wanted to leave that wasn't convicted of a violent felony, immediately and permanently disarm any WMDs, and never bothered the rest of us again.

Hm, if Texas left and Puerto Rico joined, it would save you from having to update your flag.

I think what might be meant is pink isn't in the spectrum of colours, like a rainbow, and due to that it isn't a colour but our brain filling in a gap. I remember reading something about it but can't remember where, sorry.

Pff, haven't seen Salad Fingers despite my brother going on about it a few years ago, it'll always be Weebl's Stuff for me.

I liked Morrowind's habit of having nice armour and weapons lying around in out of the way places and within dungeons, like the great houses vaults. Having items guarenteed to be in a certain location appeals to me as it encourages me to explore with tangible reward. Skyrim and Oblivion don't really do that as all the weapons are armour are either leveled or not very good to begin with (Breaking into that master locked display cabinet only to find a cheap replica weapon, or the case I dislike the most being Umbra's armour in Oblivion as it was all leveled despite being ebony armour).

However, I much prefer Oblivion and Skyrims combat system, as Morrowinds was kind of a hold over from Daggerfall. Swinging, only to miss got frustrating, also discouraged me from using bows as I couldn't tell if I was hitting the enemy in the first place.

Had six squads of traitor empire soldiers backed up by three khorne warrior squads along with a mounted general. They were to prove their worthiness in the eyes of Khorne by slaughtering a band of 2000 nightgoblins, a little more then twice my numbers but something that is quite doable as goblins are weak, cowardly fools...

Except when they're on a huge hill and have lots of archers and squigs.

Khorne was disappoint.
