If anybody is interested in Tomb Raider, i recomend the book series entitled Rogue Angel. It is much like Tomb Raider: there is a female archeaologist (sp?) named Annja (I beleive it's pronounced ANYA) Creed, and she explores tombs and stuff like Lara, but she is armed only with the sword or Joan of Arc.
Very interesting series. I have 2 of the books, i've just started on my second one called The Soul Stealer, and the first one is called The Secret of the Slaves, and it takes place in Brazil, whereas The Soul Stealer takes place in Russia and Syberia (sp?)
Very good reading, hope you all check them out.

UPDATE: I have gotten 2 more books. The Golden Elephant and Gabriel's Horn. I have not yet read them, but here's what they are about: The Golden Elephant: Annja Creed sets off to a small town in middle-Asia, in search for an artifact from an Asian temple. In return of getting this artifact, she will recieve a golden elephant from an Asian emperor, but a group of American gangsters have their eyes set on the elephant, and more importantly, Annja. Gabriel's Horn: Annja Creed's old mentor Roux goes missing in England, and an English buisnessman contacts Annja, saying that he has both Roux, and an artifact she has been in search for for years: the Holy Grail. The businessman (who is also the leader of a deadly membership of swordsmen) swears that if Annja keeps her distance, she will recieve the Grail, but if she interferes with him and Roux, both she and her mentor will be executed. But with her trusty Sword of Joan of Arc, she belives she can defeat him...until she finds out a deadly secret about him... I hope you read these books. They are very good. I am almost done reading The Sould Stealer. It is sooooooo very intersting! I cannot put it down!  |

Okay, but finished reading The Soul Stealer, heres what happened. Annja had to kill her friends Gregor to save her other friend Bob because an evil scientist had brought him back to life to try to make him a demon much like Khosodam, but then he spotted Gregor and decided with larger muscles and an experience in killing, and then he decided to do the espiriment on him, knowing that, after sleeping with him, Annja would come after him. When she found him in an underground network beneath the church, she finds out that Bob has been ressurected, and Gregor is being being experimented upon, and to release Bob from the bonds he's been put beneath and get herself out as well, she will have to fight demon-ized Gregor, and if she loses, the scientist kills Bob, and gets paid for getting away with murder. But then Annja wins, and the scientist tries to gas her so he gets his 10 grand. But Annja escapes and finds a radio and calls a helicopter, and she and Bob get out of Siberia. Please read the books, they are sooo sooo good! And please read The Soul Stealer! |

I think my signature's okay, its four different pictures sized at 240x240, not one long banner. It's way too big, even if it is four separate pictures. I think if you removed the fourth pic and all the white space in the first three it should be okay. If you need a hand with it let me know, I could help PS - Hotlinking from another site is breaking probably the biggest rule there is with Proboards. All the pics in this post have been hotlinked from various sites including Amazon and Wikipedia. You can save the pictures to your computer and then upload them to Photobucket or Imageshack and all will be good. |

Anyways, I was bored and I really liked the cover art on these books so I made a banner using them.  You're welcomed to use it if you want, if you don't, no worries. |

OMG! Its so beautiful! Thank you so much! I really like them! I will use it straight away. I think you would like the books if you like Tomb Raider, or just female archaeologist stories. Again, thanks so much, i love it. ;D |

Double posting is okay when it's more than a few hours apart, not when it's mere minutes apart. Then you should be editing your previous post. I've told you that countless times before vampyr/Gaga over GaGa. You really need to start following the rules, when you do this double posting stuff only one thing comes to mind. Raising your post count. That's the only thing I can think of, since a lot of us moderators have told you time and time again not to do that.

Jess could you please stop doing this?! i hate when you publicly (idk if i spelled right) point out things like this. PM! You always say that to me, however the rule never seems to be enforced upon you... and why are you just now saying something? i double posted on october 27...its november 17...  |

It isn't just here that you've been doing this. Whenever I PM you about something (I've PM'd this topic to you before), you don't seem to get it since you're still obviously doing it. I thought the best way to enforce this idea to you was to post it here.

I'd like to remind you:
1. No hot linking! If you want to post a picture - upload it to ImageShack or TinyPic.
2. No double posting - as Jess pointed out, if its couple of hours apart its fine, but only few minute then use the Edit button.
If this happens then we will have to edit your posts and manually decrease your post count by two posts (for each double post).

Then please start following the rules, so we won't have to keep repeating ourselves, and take posts away.
