Darkness_Falls 68 Report post Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) I haven't seen yet any note saying Mod DB 'Mod of the Year' voting began, so figured I'd mention. Sorry if it was posted before (just delete this thread, if it was). I assume The Dark Mod still qualifies as a mod, even though it's standalone, right? I mean, a mod is a mod, even if a game was modded so much the mod became standalone, right? Vote for whatever mod you like most, but for convenience here is a link to TDM on ModDB.com: The Dark Mod I think they're in the first round of voting, to narrow things down to a Top 100.

Anderson 278 Report post Posted December 5, 2016 Voted. Quote "I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."... - 2 July 1844 letter to James Russell Lowell from Edgar Allan Poe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nbohr1more 1975 Report post Posted December 5, 2016 Call nbohr - do we need to get our moddb page updated..? I could do a feature on Dragofer's "Down by the Riverside". I was saving that to bulk up the 2.05 release article but I think we have enough to say about that. 2 Quote Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod: http://www.indiedb.com/mods/the-dark-mod (Yeah, shameless promotion... but traffic is traffic folks...)

nbohr1more 1975 Report post Posted December 5, 2016 Delayed to 2.06.

Thank you for your generous wording in this quite strategically placed article > You'll never get manually exstinguishable oil lamps and torches ! I beg to differ:This is a manually extinguishable oil lamp, achieved by turning the little wheel. I'm not sure about torches though.
