"Let me have a look at it!" I bellowed down from the entrance. Terrified, I took a gentle step onto the first rock. A big fraction of what little air there was was sucked quickly into my lungs as I jumped to another rocky platform. I instantly knew this was a bad move. However, when the rock shattered I had only fallen a few feet to the ground. Thank God. Holding my head, I worked my way over to the text and flicked on my flashlight. "It looks like the same language that was on the door. In any case, I can't make heads or tales of it. I would say that it's all greek to me but..." I said, letting myself have a hushed chuckle at my sad attempt at humor. "And it seems that this is one of..." I said, moving my flashlight a few feet up and down, revealing thousands of tiny symbols. "Many symbols." I finished. "Figures. We find full blown instructions on how to survive this dank forgotten hole, and it's in a dead dialect." I said angrily, flicking off my light and crossing my arms. "Found anything yet, Elcrone?" I yelled back to the mysterious sealed door.

Haha, we all sound like buisness executives! Anyway... I wouldn't mind if someone posted the actions of my character to advance the plot. However, make sure it fits in with my character and skills. I.E: Nothing to athletic, remember that in my bio I had said Zak wasn't athletic at all. And he's not good with fire arms. Signed: VCJ.

I'm a little confused about "playing other characters." I really didn't make any character do anything significant, I just had a little discussion with a few of them. Typing some of their text seems harmless, but I can understand if I had typed out a huge scene with a death-defying stunt or something involving them. So if I make them say something it still counts as playing them? I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just confused. I got a PM from someone saying to not play someone's character again which I hadn't (or atleast I thought). Some clarity on the "playing other characters" rule would be nice.

"Are there any wolves down there? Or something...worse?" I said, petrified by my fear of death. I was nearly mauled by the pack of wolves earlier, probably due to the fact that the only "firepower" I had caused in my life was setting off bottlerockets as a pre-teen. "Don't be a sissy, Zak. That won't get you very far deep in the heart of a Peruvian tomb." Elcrone said dryly, scanning the area with his binoculers. "That's comforting..." I thought. "Dammit. No levers in sight. We might have to go down there and search in the friggin' shadows." Elcrone said angrily as he clipped the binoculers back on his belt. "And what do you recomend?" Chastity said, looking at the destroyed room. "You and Ven are gold and silver medal gymnists, yes? Why don't you just shimmy yourselfs down those rocks?" "I've had enough brushes with death for today, thank you." Venessa said, still shaking from the climbing incident. Everyone looked at Chastity. "Can we actually do something? I'm freezing." I said impatiently.

"Sorry!" I said as I clkung both hands to Elcrone's arms as he dangled over the cliff face. As I was helping him up, defening pops rang out in quick succesion. Definately bullets. "Elcrone?" I said as I stared the sprinting pack or blood-thirsty snow wolves in their red eyes. "Have I mentioned that I've never fired a gun in my life?" I said shakily as the pack got closer. Before he could respond, a wolf lunged at my face, tearing my face, and shoved me into the thick snow. I could breath, and a massive canine was sending cloth everywhere trying to get to my flesh. ---------------------------------------------------------- I didn't want to type out the whole fight scene like I did the door opening scene. I'll give other people some time to type.

The Peruvian wind was bitterly cold. I knew that I should have invested in a thicker coat. Perhaps, if this 'Scion' thing was truly powerful, even if it existed, my stingy days would be over. However, knowing my idol, Lara Croft, I knew that she would get all the glory anyway. My thoughts lightened as I noticed that the only footsteps crushed into the thick snow were ours. Lara had ran late. Elcrone (what an odd name...) interupted me as he began to speak. "We should have packed explosives." He said coldly (in more ways than one) as he gawked at the massive stone door that overshadowed all of us. I cut him off. "My God. What wonderful symbols." I said as I peeked above the door with my binoculers. Above the sill of the door were five symbols that I had never seen before, but looked Mayan or possibly Incan. All had stone circles raised from them, barely fit into their holes. They must be buttons. "Explode the frigging door before opening it huh, Elcrone? You're setting up quite an odd personality." I said as I waved upwards at the symbols. "Hush. I don't want a nuesence tailing me this whole journey." He said as he tried to climb some icey rocks up the side of the door. "And i certainly don't want a pyro." I requiped, as he slipped and fell from the rocks. "Are you alright?" Falicity said, as she cradled Elcrone's bumped head. "Very. However, I wouldn't mind staying like this for...a few more moments." Falicity threw his head off of her knees. In the time everyone else had spent fooling around, Chastity located a rope from the guide's backpack and started her climb towards the leftmost symbol. A rumble shook the summit and I feared that we might descend to our demise from an avalanche. "Don't be such a sissy." Elchrone said, noticing that I was bracing for impact with my hands in front of my face. "Let's get started already." I said, removing my hands from my face. The doors were now wide open and only looming shadows awaited us.

ICONS! (if anyone wants them) 1. 2. 3. 4.

The fist snapshot was begging to be made into a banner ad. I might do the same to the other two later with different taglines. Ok, so after making four icons, a sig, and two "adverts", I think I'll take a break....

I'm now thinking of my character. I'll update this post later. EDIT Name: Zak “Worm” Mills Gender: Male Abilities: weak agility, decent with computers codes, vast knowledge of mythology and ancient architecture Age: 19 Background: Zak has always been a fan of ancient mythology, so he naturally wet himself when he heard evidence of something of Atlantian origin, called the Scion. After joining the newly formed team of archaeologists, Zak learned that another set of people had evil intentions for the Scion. However, Zak was relatively calm, since this revealed that the Scion was not ordinary artifact, and that he was in for an adventure. Learning that the legendary Lara Croft would be joining them was the icing on the cake. Zak had to begin searching right away, and was the first one to reach the summit at Peru... It's like an annoying commercial, but in sig form! VVVVVVVVVV

They probably mispoke. That or Peru will be one level, but not the '45 minute' one level Legend crap. I'm thinking that some areas will be removed, but there will be a gigantic level called "Peru" that is all of the original levels globbed into one, just without seperate titles and stat screens. Or at least I HOPE! Heads will roll if they pull what they did with TR:L. I doubt they'd make the same mistake again, since they even said that they were going to make the rest of the games longer.

I'd love to see this get off its feet. It's an idea I've had for ages, but with my limited faith in the seldom visited RPG board, I never attempted to kick start it. Definately count me in! We should advertize it in our sigs or something to pump life into this forum.

Parts of the lite version were meant to be faulty. Think of the lite version of LE to be more of a trial of TRLE, because that's practicly what it is. Level downloading/playing should work fine (although it was always too complex for me) but level building will not work as well. Tomb Raider 5(PC) is six years old and obviously very cheap, you can get in on Amazon for a dollar (the last time I checked). The full Level Editor should come bundled with TR5. I hope I helped.

Biker (No Coat) because the lacy blue shirt is so pretty. It also looks semi-normal for home life, so I usually put in on when I'm in her Manor. I think I take her wardrobe way too seriously. I even put in her blue jumpsuit when I want to hone my skills in her Gym, then go back to switch into the Biker (No Coat) outfit. No, I'm not insane at all..not one bit! Why do I hear you all whispering and snickering?

Embargo* time! Yay! Anyway, I just got word that Eidos put an embargo on those screenshots since they were never meant to be posted online. At least I saved them in time! The screenshots are in Play Magazine US if you still want them. Also, I'd actually wait to remove them because I only heard that they were embargoed from a member of another forum, not Eidos or an admin or anything... *Embargo-Something put on a screenshot to make it illegal to post.

I honestly don't see what the trouble is with Willard. It seems that if you kept firing a weapon and ran for the hills (artifacts...) that he would be relatively simple. Of course, I'm only in "Crash Site" so we shall see.... Anyway, none of the bosses particularly seem hard to me. Boaz seems like she would be a b****, though!

All Secrets PS1 code: Quickly press L2 (five times), R2, L2 (three times), R2, L2, R2, L2 (twice), R2, L2 (twice), R2, L2 (twice) during game play. You'll hear Lara sigh if you've entered the cheat correctly. Enter it on every level. Have fun.

I was looking down to the ground floor to see if I could spot some natives and next thing I know this had happened. The camera was stuck below Lara! I would've seen what it would have been like, but I was about to fight a native and dodge a large mechanism, so i figured all of that would be too hard for the camera to be like that throughout it. Rolling seemed to pop the camera into place. P.S: Good lord, I'm way ahead of everyone! EAT MY DUST! Buahahaha j/k

After a long break, I'm playing again! Tomorrow I'll see what all the hubub about the underwater section of Lud's gate is all about. It's the most tedious level ever, btw. Go across the air duct, get some ammo, go to the middle of the airduct, kill the guards, move the block. Go into the Egyptian Exhibit, climb the blocks, pull the block, climb out. Shimmy, pull the switch. Go back to where you kill the guards, pull the block back out, return to the Egyptian Exibit, climb the blocks...on and on and on and on! :S I kept repeating "Nit one, pearl two" the whole process since it was so monotinous! ...and then I have to deal with this infamous water part. :I

In the Sims 1 PS2 game, you can't. Maybe the second one is no different. I would recomend the PC version. Make sure you have the right specs!

Do you play on PC? If so, it's probably in the audio files somewhere. If not, I guess someone kind PC player might upload it for download.

LOL, great minds think alike I guess. Up for grabs if anyone wants it! *imagines how many different sigs/icons will be made by the same picture by the time the 2nd one comes around* PS: Slamboy, where did you get the Tomb Raider logo? I've been looking for it, but I can never find it. :I

Okay, so I have this 'master plan' in the Sims 2 to make my Sim have a good fraction of the Goth fortune. My plan is, to have the blonde Caliente girl(forgot her name) and Mortimer Goth marry after Dina and Charles(my sim) move into the Caliente house. Once the two are married, I'm going to move them out and hope that Charles and Dina get half of the money given to the 'family'. The only thing is, I'm not a Sims 2 guru, so I don't know if inheretance works this way. It would be awesome if it did, though! Can someone tell me if my plan will work? Thanks. I don't want to move people in and out for nothing.

Hello everyone. I've had a new computer for not even a year, and the sound has started to bug out. I have to crank everything, the computer volume, the video volume, and the headphone volume up to hear sounds correctly. It was someone bearable, but it seems to have gotten worse. In Tomb Raider 3, the TALKING (the background noise works fine) is extremely low and echoing. Do you think I should upgrade my sound card or get a new set of headphones? Thanks for anybody's help.

How is the person who thought London was a good idea still breathing? Only time in a video game ever where I've contemplated uninstalling the entire game. And throwing it out the window. In the middle of some....colorful words. Can we start to form that psychiatric ward we were talking about earlier?!

The real mission shouldn't be to find the Eye of Isis, it should be to find out what's sucking up the London streets. Getting caught up in it is fun, though. Twirly twirl twirl twirl!
