Sorry, guys, I kinda lost my interest part way into The River Ganges. I haven't had much spare time, and like lm I'm not that into TR3. It drives me totally crazy for some reason! Plus, I had no idea I wouldn't be able to have 50 million saves on the PS. Maybe I'll get back to it soon -- I'd like to finish it someday.

That is amazing! It's great to see people with what we consider 'disabilities' enjoying the same hobbies. And what taste he has in gaming!

I just saw the email from Eidos today. Amazingly done, Tom & Stella! You definitely deserve to be listed in the credits. Thanks for all the TR help over the years.

Welcome back, Acid! Long time no chat!

Congratulations, Shrensh!

Aww, MsC...sorry to hear that! Your stats were enough to make me jealous, so I'll definitely ask you for help if I need it.

#1) I play TR on PS. #2) Tell us about how you came across TR for the first time. I saw the previews for the first TR movie, and soon after seeing it, played the demo. Then I bought TR III pyramid box for PC. #3) TR III was the first TR game I played. #4) TR AoD was the first TR game I passed. #5) Name your top 3 favorite TR games. II, I, Legend #6) Which TR game was your least favorite? Why? IV, because it took forever and had in and out of several levels that had me seriously lost. #7) TR Legend was the easiest for me because it was fast, and I found the items without much extra help. #8) TR IV was a challenge for me because I kept getting stuck and having to refer to online help while going between the computer & PS. #9) How often did you have to use a walkthrough/stratedgy guide? Quite often...I get frustrated easily, lol. #10) Were you always on the hunt and look out for the TR secrets? Not the first time I played, but I caught on in future games. #11) Pierre or Larson Pierre #12) TR AoD was the creepiest and often made me jump. #13) Which TR game was the one that you enjoyed playing the most? Why? TR II, because I was able to get through it w/o much help, and it had a long enough gameplay time to keep me interested for a while. #14) The hardest level in TR1 was I honestly don't remember any specific level that drove me crazy. #15) The hardest level in TR2 was 40 FATHOMS because sharks just seriously freak me out. #16) The hardest level in TR3 was the end because well, Willard just won't stop snapping Lara in half and eating her (and I've yet to complete it). #17) The hardest level in TR4 The Last Revelation was all the Cairo levels because like I said before, I easily got lost. #18) The hardest level in TR5 Chronicles was haven't completed it yet. #19) The hardest level in TR6 The Angel of Darkness was the part with the Sanitarium because those zombie/mummy looking creatures just plain scared me. #20) The hardest level in TR7 Legend was Ghana because that whole waterwheel thing and the steps to start the traps after it just kept killing Lara, for some reason.

I'm finally finished with the Temple Ruins, though I can see I'm far behind you all! Just for the record, I can't stand this level, and I'm hoping to reserve my save crystals in future levels instead of using them too soon! Here's my yucky stats, and I am looking forward to catching up after being sick (and offline) this past week:

What a beautiful screenshot! I can't wait to see how the graphics in scenery look as you're playing the game. The hardest thing I had was trying to see the pickups among the pixelized background, lol. Thanks for posting this, Tom!

Wb, Mike!

Your drawings are great SlamBoy -- I think you're being a little hard on yourself! The second one with Legend Lara is excellent, especially her hair, & the detail of the grenades. And Famke looks pretty cool, though her eyes freak me out. Come to think of it, they freaked me out in the movie, too.

#1 frustration I encountered first time I played TR 3: the spikes #1 so far this time: those darn piranahs. Maybe if I wasn't on the PS & had tons of saves. I'd be done the level if I didn't have to go back to the beginning because they ate Lara, lol. Oh, well, I'm now past the whole swimming with the fishies part & will try to get some TR time in tomorrow.

Lol, Raek...no problem. You're welcome.

Shrensh, {{hugs}} for those Doctor Who vid links. Those are hilarious! The Tom Baker impression was great. I then, of course started looking at the tons of links listed on the side of the vid screen. What a way to spend the afternoon.

Have a great trip, AngelR! And enjoy the delayed time on your paperwork, lol. Relax and enjoy!

You're welcome, everyone! Now I have fraps, too.

You need to download this program to view it: http://www.fraps.com/download.php Windows Media player says I'm missing the fraps codec, but the link their help gave me is outdated, so I googled it. Most sites directed me to the fraps website. It's a video capture & benchmarking program. Then you'll be able to view it in Media player. Funny vid, Raek! Thanks for posting! I'm still on the beginning of Level 2 as I haven't gotten to play in almost a week, but I'm hoping to get some play time in tomorrow.

I don't know of a way to do that, sorry. What I did today was to use my cell phone to take a pic. It was a little tricky with the lighting, but I did it. Then you can email it to yourself or transfer via USB (if you have a program like me).

Thanks, BP! Well, I've finally finished Level 1. And I shot the monkey with the key. Stupid monkey stealing my key!! Good to know his/her relatives would attack Lara later anyway, lol. I took this with my cell camera: Yeah, I know, lots of distance travelled w/o all the secrets. But, I didn't use any hints, walkthroughs, or family help, so I'm kinda proud.

You first need a host (someone who provides a 24 hours a day/7 days a week connection). Some sites offer free webhosting, & you can use google.com to search for places that do this. Then you can either use Microsoft FrontPage, the menus available on the site you choose for a host, or software you pay for to build your site. This site, and many others, uses software that you have to buy. You can also make it using code such as HTML or CSS. For help with that, I use google to search for web building info. Hope that helps.

Thanks, Tom! Definitely a good resource.

Thanks for the pic, Trinity! It's amazing how much AJ transforms herself into the parts she plays. I mean I know it's a lot of Hollywood 'magic', but still!

Well, sorry to disappear, lol. I'm all better now (thanks, BP). I did the mansion -- more for fun, since I never tried it on PS. Shame the first time I played it years ago I had no idea how little worth the effort the timed run was for the trophy room. I did it anyway, just to see that I could. I'm almost done level 1. No monkeys killed, which means they never attack Lara. I never knew they'd leave her alone if you don't kill any.

Sorry I haven't joined in...I've been sick with strep throat. I'll try playing tomorrow anyway, even if I don't catch up. I enjoyed seeing your screenshots and the whole to kill/not kill the monkeys, lol.
