Consider that a gauntlet on the ground.

Hey!! Everyone! Look!

Is that a gauntlet on the ground?

Yes, it is a gauntlet on the ground. And I bet it'll fetch a pretty penny.

Maybe even a sparkling one.

I thought it was a gauntlet!

Gee, I hope nobody sees it ... You'd better pick it up quickly, before anybody notices!

That defeats the purpose of giving away bits of armor.

*sparkles all over the thread* :D

(Actually, I only have sparkles because I asked for them on Steampunk April Fools. Otherwise I probably would've been denied. I'm hesitant to change my avatar in case I can't get sparkles again... ;))

You haven't saved your own avvy!? :O

Bart, happy to give you a walk-through.

Well, I thought that the sparkles were an add-on done by mods...

So if I saved this picture, I might be able to get a sparkling gif, but not sure if I'd be allowed to upload it whenever I felt like it. Right?

And as it happens, most of my computer's parts are between 1 and 4 years old. So my OS is the oldest thing regarding my computer...

Except maybe my speakers. I think I've had these speakers since before 2000... They still work well enough though. But I might upgrade them. Certain sounds make a shrill static noise come out of them, like a reverberation. Not a huge issue, but whatever.

Windows XP is a perfectly serviceable OS; I know a crowd who're keeping it deliberately because they dislike Windows 7 so very badly.

I had a 486.66 Pentium with DOS-shell up until Windows 98 came out. I felt so badass when I got Diablo (sort of) running on it. =)

We used to have a 486 Pentium. But I believe we had Windows 95 on it. That was the first Windows OS I ever used.

It wasn't very pretty. And it crashed a lot more than XP seems to...

Look at all these sparkly people running the gauntlet. Harumph. Good thing I don't have to sparkle to like myself.

*secretly jealouses*

Without eyeliner, rouge, foundation, etc, it just makes me look like a harlot.
