We found a salamander outside last night. It is now our captive.

Aww, salamanders are cute little creatures. Used to have a few newts round where I lived, although similar, they arent quite as cool as salamanders.

Re: User Announcements (Part IV) · by **War** Mon May 09, 2011 10:59 am

I was not aware they were native to where I live.

Re: User Announcements (Part IV) · by **LordRemington** Mon May 09, 2011 11:09 am

We only have the typical little garden variety lizards here, no salamanders.

What do you plan to do with said salamander? Keep him as a pet or just release it?

Re: User Announcements (Part IV) · by **War** Mon May 09, 2011 11:17 am

Pet, surprised it wasn't killed by a bird. My house is pretty far from any bodies of water so unless it rains the poor guy would bake in the sun if we hadn't brought him inside.

There's several species of Salamander populating your Province, War. But I'm not sure how one can end up in suburbia / city like that unless it escaped from someone else's grasp.

Re: User Announcements (Part IV) · by **War** Mon May 09, 2011 5:34 pm

The petstore theorized it came in with the massive floods a few years ago and just never left.

What are you going to call the salamander, War?

They're quite cute animals and the fact you've found it outside makes it a lot more special.

Not sure, but in my semester break, I may be taking up scuba diving.

Off to discover Atlantis Viking

Re: User Announcements (Part IV) · by **Arkanay** Mon May 09, 2011 11:19 pm

Have fun with it, Remi. Loads of beautiful settings to see underwater. Smile

Re: User Announcements (Part IV) · by **War** Tue May 10, 2011 6:34 am

My dad and sister named it Marely, it's a tiger salamander, young judging by it's size.

Diving is tons of fun remi, good luck!

Re: User Announcements (Part IV) · by **Red-Indigo** Tue May 10, 2011 6:57 am

Thats a cool name. Lucky you found it, they can't survive very long at all without proper water. That, or like you said, bird attack.

I registered with minecraft yesterday. Is an okay game, but I was playing the classic version, so was a bit like... what now? Laughing

Re: User Announcements (Part IV) · by **Damnagoras** Tue May 10, 2011 7:31 am

@Red-Indigo: You should buy the real thing. That's where the fun is ^_^

I got my new computer a few days ago. After a long process of moving files and installing everything (or at least most things) I need on it, I can now enjoy the speedy-ness of this wonderful machine.

Booting? - I just push the button, prepare to wait and... Huh? Already done? Shocked

Run Civilization V? - High graphics, big world, fast performance. Perfect conditions for an enjoyable gaming session.
Minimizing Civ while playing to check something on the Internet? - I'm back playing in no-time.

At some point I'm going to download the free demo of Total War: Shogun 2 and see how well that runs too. But for now, Mount and Blade: Warband is gotten me addicted. It doesn't require much computer power, so I can easily run it with maximized graphics options. Just as easy as me and my trustworthy knights cut down some of those filthy bandits. Very Happy

My cat dragged in a frog last night, I set it free into the garden.

Re: User Announcements (Part IV) · by **Shardna** Tue May 10, 2011 7:21 pm

Not feeling a bit well today. I have pains in my stomach and a really bad sore throat. Everytime I cough or laugh, it hurts me real bad. Sad

Re: User Announcements (Part IV) · by **Red-Indigo** Wed May 11, 2011 3:26 am

Aww, shard, sorry to hear that. Summer colds suck. Hope you get better soon! Smile

Trying to get back into digital art, after a good four or five month lapse. Forgotten most of my shortcuts for all my programs. Damn me and my procrastination Laughing

I didn't even notice Eurovision was on until today Razz

Re: User Announcements (Part IV) · by **Vago** Wed May 11, 2011 10:00 am

So I just pulled a prank on my friends on Facebook. I'm getting my room remolded so all of my furniture is gone and it looks like I'm moving. So as you may have guessed I took pictures and said I was moving back to England. XD

Been contemplating taking up birdwatching recently. I'm at least starting to keep tabs on some of the local wildlife.
Recently saw this little critter (quite close, actually--a couple perched right on my windowsill, though flew away before I could take a pic of my own), which is apparently pretty common in North America but only lives this far north during the summer months. Dendroica coronata, also known as the Yellow-rumped Warbler.
Here is a pic, from Wikipedia.

I'm attempting to learn how to map with Hammer.

I feel so dumb ;__;

Re: User Announcements (Part IV) · by **Shardna** Wed May 11, 2011 6:04 pm

@Indy: Thanks and I'm feeling much better now.

@Dino: That birdy pic is nice even if it's a wikipedia one. XD

@Horm: Oh dear lol. XD

Milk, it is on this Saturday coming Help

Re: User Announcements (Part IV) · by **Arkanay** Wed May 11, 2011 7:25 pm

The final is on Saturday. Yesterday was a semi-final. The other semi-final will be on Thursday.

Re: User Announcements (Part IV) · by **Trick** Thu May 12, 2011 5:04 am

Bulgaria have actually got a somewhat decent song for once, so I'll be supporting them. Also, it's not in English, like 90% of the other songs.

Capsized twice in sailing today. Thankfully I wasn't at the helm when it happened Razz

Not my fault.
