> Quotes - I'm late, I'm late

The big advantage to the Internet over TV is that you can brainwash it back
"Er, I don't think you've thought this through. See, when we find this sword, we're going to use it to stab evil people."
Would you like to retire to my abode for a variety of innuendoes?
I couldn't maul him. He was just too pretty.
> Stuff

So, is anyone really idiotic enough to use only money? If this one doesn't get you - maybe the next one will. "But I don't have anything on my computer worth stealing" is no longer a reason... The fix is the second link. [Details] [Details]
And a better email client is this link. [Download]
Far too late and far too evil. But laughable, so have some pop. [Destroy]
Telemarketers must die. [Details]
But then, insane people are fun. [Details]
So, what - plan ten from beyond the grave? [Details]
War. Interesting thoughts on the next generation of tactics and strategy. By someone with credentials and stuff. (Second link is the summary) [Details] [Details]
Sad, sweet, evil... it's got it all. And what a quote. [Details]
Pardon the pdf - third in a series of "How to make your computer not be so stupid on the net" - this one for mac people. Sadly, no sledgehammers are involved (that was the XP one) [Details]
Good to formalise these things. 'Course, in this country, we just self-organise queues. [Details]
Real life magic? Kinda. [Details]
Maths is useful. Also, birds often weigh half a ton. [Display]
Sorry, guess you shouldn't have been murderised after all. You can come back to life and curse us all you want. [Details]
Presented with laughter. [Details]
Yay! They like our drive! [Details]
Warm reboot. People probably know this, but it's always good to visit a site and pick up a few new tips every now and then. [Details]
Proactively increase the intelligibility of your missives! [Download]
Pwetty piccies. No need for a clever headline. [Display]
Irfan view (free image browser and simple editor) updated and is, presumably, even better. [Download]
Clip art. Everyone indulges now and then. SVG format? Oooh, you're screwed. Try irfan (above) [Display]
Charity. Good. [Details]
And, since we nmeed it, here are the actual results. Geography is red, skyscrapers are blue, when I am king, I'll execute you. Or something. [Display]
> Gaming - I didn't exactly skimp here either

Let's have a slightly timely adventure game. [Download]
SHUMP! Shumpetty shumpetty shump... [Download]
Despite the site, I am given to understand that the game has an English option. The demo links are on the right. [Download]
Runescape. It's not hello kitty, and that saves it. MMORPG in a browser. [Destroy]
Bunch of free and share games based on remakes of really old games. Some will quickly get foxed, but others are just generics. Some good, and most of them commented, which is a nice change that helps you find the good ones. [Download]
Well, if newbies are your customer base... Why is it against the rules to have a game whose rules evolve as you play for longer? [Details]
Some kind of puzzle-platformer, I think. [Download]
Something truly evil has been unleashed. [Display]
Wait, that's not it. Here it is. Hello Kitty. MMORPG. The end times are here. [Details]
It's, apparantrly, like elite online. [Download]
Everyone was kung-fu fighting... In flash. Eww. [Destroy]
Unintendo make jokes in poor taste. And, amusingly, someone claims to have a zero day emulator released - though there are no ROMs to test it with yet, and the touchpad might be kinda hard to do. Muahaha, I have a graphics tablet. Ahem. On an unrelated note, I can pick up a gba for under thirty quid now - but where have all the games gone? [Details]
> More Stuff - PnP RPG mainly

I know I linked this before, but it's so simple and good. Matrix RPG. Excuse the pdf. [Download]
Whilst I'm linking this sort of thing - sourcebook for asian psionics. [Details]
I didn't link anything with cats in it yet? For shame! [Details]
Spycraft stuff. En mass. [Download]
It's pen and paper madness this week - have a space-based one-shot. With a twist of psycho-evil. [Details]
... Yesss... My hobby is normal again. [Details]
Belated spooky stuff. [Details] [Details]
And that second site has a lot of good sci-fi / fantasy. A lot of it very silly. Toast! [Details] [Details]
> Comics

Hah! Fooled you! I hid them in the main sections this week! Oh, all right.
He has that power, yes. [Display]

Additional to the comments on the clipart:All the clipart has .png samples - but to get the proper resizable SVG to work... you're screwed.
Mozilla (not firefox) has an alpha plugin for win32. Adobe has a "use at your own risk pre-alpha development version" viewer.
OpenOffice MIGHT be able to import them.
They are also kinda limited in utility. Some nice buttons for applications, and the flags of every country in the world - but that's about it.
