Lara cautiously watches the serpent descending into darkness. Phew!


Cool Lara! (If you ignore the things that have disappeared into her body...)


Narrowly missing dinner


Action!


Move, Lara!




I really like those two...they make the grapple looks 20X cooler.


This is nearly identical to an earlier screenshot. Pick the one you preferred!

And as a tribute to the Sea Serpent...for the last screenshot of the England screenshot series we offer...


Doomed raider.

Tomb Raider: Legend PC Screenshots -- Sea Serpent, Part I

Tomb Raider: Legend is the first Tomb Raider game that I have ever played. The game itself was, in my opinion, too short and linear, but the graphics were truly gorgeous and I could not resist the temptation to get some screenshots for this game. I took the pictures by the same principle of taking movie promotion photos -- the scene must be dramatic, as well as artistic in and of itself. Since I took those screenshots myself, I don't think you can find them anywhere else on the web. This post is the first in the series of posts that deliver my own Tomb Raider Screenshots.

Lara Croft and Her Dual Pistols...against a creature 20 times bigger and 50 times stronger than her.


Avoiding being eaten.


Testing your reflexes.


Dude, try harder next time.


More to come.

A final note: I am not in any way affiliated with the companies that own Tomb Raider, and I don't make money out of screenshots, either. However, if you want to use the images, please credit me.

Morality Play

What can I say? I find this test highly interesting, but maybe it's just me being a philosopher. But first, take the test, then read what I have to say about it below.

If you have already taken the test, you should know the meaning of the results, as they have already been explained on the follow-up screen quite clearly. That said, if you don't want to read the lengthy explanations, you might as well get the take-home point: this is a test to measure your Moral Parsimony (i.e. "whether this principle is applied simply and without modification or qualification in a number of different circumstances"); that is, how consistent your moral framework is despite factors like Geographical Distance, Family Relatedness, ect. It must be noted that Moral Parsimony cannot be simply labeled "good" or "bad", for it is entirely left for the agent to decide.

Of course, this test in and of itself isn't as accurate as one would hope it would be. 19 questions just seem a bit too small of a sample, considering the wide range of elements of circumstances this test attempts to cover. The thing that really interests me about this test is the idea of Moral Parsimony, as I have never given much thought to it before and it's refreshing to see how my own (hypothetical) decisions reveal a hidden property of my own moral system. (It's always nice to know more about yourself. Hee.) Which is why I recommend this test to you. And your friends and family, for that matter.

P.s. I myself got a Moral Parsimony Score of 88% overall, but, to my surprise, my score for Acts and Omissions is 57%, slightly lower than the average 60%. Hmm. Also, I am not promoting and have no affiliation with the TPM Online, the site where the test is hosted, and I doubt the folks at TPM even know that I exist.

New Label System

Despite my laziness and lack of technological intuitions I was forced to have my Blogs reformed into the new format, so, as you can see, I have taken advantage of the new Blogger's label system and applied them to every single post of mine.

Back!

I have decided to finally care more about the internet, and the first thing I noticed and really troubled me was my absence in taking care of my own cyberspace. This is sad. Especially since I haven't even finished the post of the so-called self-introduction, which you might or might not have noticed that ended quite abruptly. I will try to devote more time to this blog, for myself.
