Bahahahahaha!

It's always nice to meet someone with an appreciation of History, even if it is only Art History

As I'm sure you know, the story is that ol' Vince chopped off one of his ears and gave it to a "lady of the evening". What a truly unique gift, eh? Alas we have no record of how she received it.

There's actually an old film called "Vincent" that really surprised me. It consists of shots of his paintings, interspersed with current photos/video of the scenes portrayed in those paintings. This while a narrator reads his letters to his brother, who was his sole financial supporter and only confidante.

I know, it sounds incredibly stupid and boring. It's not. I had to be dragged kicking and screaming to see it, then I sat rapt for the whole film. It works far better than it sounds.

Anyways, back to the nominal subject of this thread.

Ahem.

Never say that when there is a Fine Art Student on the forums.

It's like walking up behind the proverbial lion and kicking it in it's behind.

Of Course if the Proverbial Lion was an Art Student it would probably sleep through it

Stop spreading nasty rumours Atrocities

That's OK if he finishes making SE VI before he completes SE V. We'll just skip V.

Nasty and false rumour indeed.

It will be called "SE XP", because yesterday Microsoft purchased Malfador Machinations. They are going to release 3 Versions of SE XP: "Starter Edition" (40$; only 3 planets allowed for colonisation), "Wargamer Edition" (75$; you can actually build warships, but no more than 32, since Windows is a 32bit OS) and finally "Management Unlimited" (130$; can do anything but you need to learn WSH, .NET architecture and ERP foundations to start playing).

Edit: ETA is "Right after Longhorn" now.

Malfador has been bought by Microsoft!!! OMG! Space Empires V will be for X-Box only!

Maybe Malfador should by Microsoft. Then we'd get a real operating system for our PCs...
