VardaValar1: Here's one of many articles up about him:
VardaValar1: http://www.fandango.com/movie-news/rip-leonard-nimoy-dies-at-83-748962

VardaValar1: Does the model link work for you?
ArPharazonV: Yes, it does, so facebook account not needed.
VardaValar1: Good, thank you.
VardaValar1: As a bonus, that link shows a number of DeepGroover's models that I can't put on our site, as many are not fantasy.
AriehnV: its great this model .. so lifelike
VardaValar1: There's a zillion articles online, as he touched the imaginations of so many, aided the push into science, space.
VardaValar1: Any further comments?
ArPharazonV: I read a lot of comics and watch quite a few forums, and
there are a great many tributes to him. Really nice to see.
ArPharazonV: The whole world seems to remember him.
ArPharazonV: Hopefully that stays that way :-)
VardaValar1: Thank you.

VardaValar1: oops, I should have let you do your reports and conceded earlier.
ArPharazonV: Started a witch doctor for season 2, got him to level 15 over the last few days, doing 2 sets of bounties.
VardaValar1: ah fun. :-)
ArPharazonV: Gonna be a bit slow, because I've never played one before,
but rather fun. Focusing on minion-summoning in my current playstyle.
ArPharazonV: Goal is to overwhelm everything with pets ;-)
ArPharazonV: Hearthstone's also
going nicely. Tried a bit of a "zoo" deck for the warlock after finally
getting my second Doomguard. Also looking forward to the new Adventure,
whenever that'll be :-)
ArPharazonV: WoW: New patch is
out, some rather interesting things for the Garrison, and also the
Darkmoon Faire, which started today, with new achievements
ArPharazonV: Including a race, with additional racing mounts and new racing paths that will be added every month.
ArPharazonV: There's also a new chapter for the Legendary quest,
resulting in the first Legendary follower for your garrison, but I'm
not that far yet by a long way. I'm just getting used to all the new
things, and still raiding too :-)
ArPharazonV: New pets also, added to 3 more old Burning Crusade raids.
In total there are 12 pets in 3 raids, with a 13th as reward if you get
all of them. The group I do old raids with will start going for those
tomorrow, so I hope we get some :-)
ArPharazonV: Trouble finding something new for flashgaming this week...
ArPharazonV: http://www.onemorelevel.com/game/chain_reaction_shooter try this one, old gaming type, but still fun!
ArPharazonV: And that is a quick personal gaming from me :-)
VardaValar1: Thanks, Phar
VardaValar1: Looked up Feanorians online, the images for them have a lot of cartoons. :-)
ArPharazonV: Oh?
VardaValar1: Google Feanorians, click the picture list and it does a slide show, sort of.
VardaValar1: Some beauties too. I have got to learn digital art someday. :-)
ArPharazonV: Ah, looks fun!
VardaValar1: :-)
ArPharazonV: Hmm, looks like today is... warlock and shaman, and to get
at least 1 quest done I'll need to play 9 or more very cheap minions...
I think warlock can do that.
VardaValar1: Good luck
VardaValar1: Namarie for now :-)
VardaValar1 has left the room.
ArPharazonV: saving and sending transcript
