    It was such a nice day in Lord of the Rings Online, that I just had to take these shots in one of my favorite spots...up atop some ruins overlooking most of Breeland. The shots were captured on my Sager in the sig. Anybody else have some cool places/scenese they want to show off?

    There are many options...

    You can attach the image on NBR(guide here), or upload the image to NBR image gallery or a file hosting site like imageshack.us and just post the url of the image in your post.

    Also make sure that your pics comply with the forum rules(shouldnt be hard)...

    Captions!

    1. Spoiler Warning: I reveal the name of a party member (I was yelled at for this :p) and an enemy type defined by the type of gun he wields (being really careful) so highlight the line below to see my caption.
    The last sights of the annoying sniper after I sic Wrex on him :D

    2. Flying Shark :p

    3. Forget being a cowboy I'm switching jobs (I hope someone gets this - its not a Mass Effect joke btw, just a terrible terrible attempt at a joke on my part)

    4. Spoiler Warning: Lion King Quote, highlight to reveal caption.
    Simba, let me tell you something my father told me. Look at the stars. The great kings of the past are up there, watching over us.

    Well...that might be High, though it looks like Very High (the difference is minimal) but even with the 8800M GTX at Very High it wouldn't be so much "playing" as "watching the pretty slide show" lol.

    Im all for big pictures, so I dont want anybody to resize them but just thumbnail them.

    Meaning have a small picture you can can click to load the big picture in a new window.

    Saves people with smaller screens or slower connections alot of trouble and time and also keeps the forums from getting messed up. In addition you wont run out of bandwidth nearly as easy. Ever seen those photobucket out of bandwidth error images.. yeah it sucks.

    For one player its probably ok if you do not detect any bad "studdering" but for online matches I would want at least 40fps.

    For most games 25 fps is playable..if it stays consitantly at that rate, it will look ok. (television shows only broadcast at 24 fps.) The problem is that if your frame rate is around that low, you may be getting studdering and stuff as well, which will make it look less pretty. If it comes down to a choice for me though, I usually lean more towards the prettiness side of the spectrum, rather than the performance. (within reason, of course)
