Call of Cthulhu: Is taking over my desktop?

19:58 / 28.07.07

Jackfield is apparently "an application for the Gnome desktop that plays host to widgets." (From the site)

Sounds innocent enough? We have been deceived. Heh, anyone who has ever played Dark Corners of the Earth knows that logo in the upper right hand corner. It's an elder sign, used sort of as save points and when pressed ward off big scary Cthulhu-monsters. I did a simple Google search of "Elder sign" and I think I found their exact logo, minus a color change. I cannot tell you how entertained I was upon finding this. But then, I'm a bit of a Lovecraft fanatic.

If the app is any good, I'll definitely snag it, for who wants a Shoggoth in their files?

Hi Damir, I was going to let this sink to the bottom of the 1st page then disappear, in the night, like some hideous thing unseen.

Anyway, dude, this is not a good thread for the Games & Gameplay forum. It's not even a good thread for any forum except, perhaps, Conversation. Which is not to say Conversation is the pissboy forum but that there's sometimes talk of USB dongles, Firefox widgets and the like. Plus most of us like Cthulhu (from a distance, behind eldritch wards).

Dude, this thread has nothing to do with games or gameplay except, perhaps, it has the slightest of links to a logo sometimes used in a roleplaying game. Did you honestly think this would make a good thread? This is not the level of thread starting I think anyone else wants here.

Agreed with Triplets on the not games related enough part, and have proposed a move to convo.

You really really really need to talk to my fiance in this case. His interest in this RPG is one of those things I can never hope to explain to my parents. Or hell, me, for that matter.

I was going to propose a move in a few days to give Damir time to salvage this thread, or at least justify it. For that perhaps the stars will never be right.
