[QUOTE="kookalouris, post: 4246543, member: 23872"] [b]What's in a name[/b] More game-related posts to follow but since I have few moments between places I'm supposed to be. My name is Gerry, which is short for Gerald, as opposed to the more common Jerry. Kookalouris is a bittersweet remembrance for me. I was once a bad web designer with a domain kookalouris.com (it's not mine anymore if it is being used at all). The name kookalouris on several email addresses is pretty much the only remnant left. This is why I admire David and his farcountry endeavour. Take it from me, it is not as easy as it might look. I will let Roger Ebert explain what a kookalouris is: Kookalouris Name for a large sheet of cardboard or plywood with holes in it, which is moved back and forth in front of a light to illuminate a character's face with moving light patterns. Popular in the 1930s; back in style again with the movies of Steven Spielberg, who uses a kookalouris with underlighting to show faces that seem to be illuminated by reflections from pots of gold, buckets of diamonds, pools of fire, pirate maps, and radioactive kidneys. from his little movie glossary at [url]http://academic.sun.ac.za/forlang/bergman/tech/glossary/ebert_glos.htm[/url] DL, use Sam's tragic history only as much as you want to, although Sam would welcome Adam's friendship (and this player likes the idea). Were she to live a completely mundane life from this point on, Sam would probably die a remorseful drunk but not dangerous to herself or others, it would probably take decades before she took up residence in Autie Keziah's old rocker. :) [/QUOTE]
