Tantum Ergo 2

For most of my young life, I followed people's advice on this, eating more and exercising less, and I never managed to get all that fat. Now that I'm over 30, I'm starting to lose hope that I'll ever be as fat as I want to be. Please, if anyone knows how I can accomplish this for sure, please tell me.

My experience with game-making is pretty limited overall. I used Klik 'n Play as a kid, and in college, I spent many hours making custom maps in Warcraft III's World Editor. Now, *that* was a game-making engine. The "coding" was all just a series of triggers with drop-down menus for events, conditions and actions, and I especially remember its if/then/else functions, and the easy way it had with creating, referencing and classifying variables. It had a tremendous amount of power, but everything was streamlined through a menu system. However, you can't make your own graphics for the World Editor, which is why I'm here now, asking this question.

I've been looking through a lot of online pieces of game making software recently, to try to find something capable of allowing me to create a basic dialogue tree program (trivially easy to do in W3WE,) but with images and sound (which I can create in other ways.) However, the program would need to have a streamlined coding process, not unlike was W3WE (the World Editor) did. I don't want to run the risk of misplacing a space or a semicolon somewhere and ruining the whole program, to say nothing of the fact that I'm terrible at learning languages. Yet, many of them seem to be deficient for this purpose. Clickteam, for instance, doesn't support "else" functions, and even Construct seems to be struggling with that. Godot requires you to code, and Unity has problems in a lot of areas. Where should I look next?

I'm looking to see if there are any other songs out there about children who are powerful, brilliant, clever, cunning, lucky, special or otherwise amazing in some way.

So far, I've found "This Will be the Day," and "Wunderkind," but that's about it. Can anyone think of any others?

First, here is how I define a "fantasy story."

"A story written as fiction, in order to be fiction, in which the majority of the story takes place in an alternate, fictional world, age or country, inhabited at least partially by non-human or very odd human beings."

On this basis, therefore, the following things don't qualify...

1. The bible. This was not written to be fiction. Besides, it's true.

2. Myths. These were not written to be fiction. They were written to explain the world.

3. Alice in Wonderland. When you think about it, no part of the story takes place in an alternate world inhabited by non-human beings, because in both books, the whole thing turns out to be a dream.

4. Most fairy tales don't specifically take place outside of Europe, and therefore are not in a fictional world, age or country.

So far, I've discovered a few things that fit this genre; The Lord of the Rings, the Chronicles of Narnia, the Neverending Story, the "Oz" books, etc, but none of these is more than a century and a half old. Gulliver's Travels counts, but I'm wondering if there are any other fantasy stories older than a hundred years, and if so, what they are.

Now, I want to be absolutely clear about what I mean here. My video card is an Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT. I've been using the exact same monitor since three whole computers ago, and it just now cut out on me. Obviously, therefore, I need a new one, but I've visited two computer stores in my area, and done a lot of internet searching on this subject, and finding any information on which video cards the monitors work with online is next to impossible. Finding a non-widescreen monitor at all is a chore by itself.

Once again, I cannot stress this enough. I hate widescreen monitors with a passion perhaps unrivaled for any other electronic device short of my morning alarm clock. I am most definitely not looking for people to tell me that widescreen is great and I should switch over. Nothing in the world short of a papal encyclical could encourage me to do this. What I am looking for is information about narrow-screen monitors that will work with the video card I have. Is there a store that will still agree to sell me narrow-screen monitors? If so, where is it? If not, what's the best model for my needs? It doesn't have to be anything special. Just no widescreen under any circumstances. Thank you for your time.
