I always have to drag out the famous graph of Napoleon's march on Moscow, cause it's a classic.

My favourite thing about being a GM was being able to look at the maps.

Hi all, especially "cinniblount":

I'm glad you like my USA map above, the black one with 1969 in the upper right-hand corner. I do too, it represents (in part) 20 years of hard research. For those interested, that and similar maps are on my website: http://www.larryhatch.net I should add that these are copyrighted. Thanks - Larry Hatch

― Larry Hatch, Friday, 5 November 2004 11:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Cool - keep up the good work, Larry.

Very nice - I want to tell you that it's maps, charts etc. not landscapes and things, but you seem to be having fun. I meat abstract representations of data, places etc. So that picture from Apollo is out too. But, whatever, I hate rule-y people, and that's what I'm being.

Yeah, Sneinton! We are RUFF FuX0rs yay! Although I have to say I've never experienced anything as mental as bombs nearby, but I am staying in as much as possible to avoid scary firework-throwing children. AAAAH!

We Feel Fine

We Feel Fine is an exploration of human emotion on a global scale. Madness, the first movement, opens with a wildly swarming mass of around 1,500 particles, emanating from the center of the screen and then careening outwards, bouncing off walls and reacting to the behavior of the mouse. Each particle represents a single feeling, posted by a single individual. The color of each particle corresponds to the tone of the feeling inside – happy positive feelings are bright yellow, sad negative feelings are dark blue, angry feelings are bright red, calm feelings are pale green, and so on.
