Midnight Mansion Forums - What's out your window?

Any interest? Might be interesting for new players, too. I, for one, am intrigued by what brell sees in Husavik!

Hehe. When I play MM I am located in a room in the basement of my house and do not have a good view though the window. Believe it or not: My camera is not working so I cannot put a picture here for the moment. Hmm.... computer, camera, and my TV seems to be getting old these days.

Here in Iceland we have an "official" first day of winter the last Saturday of October, so yesterday was the first day of winter in Iceland. And lo and behold! We got the biggest low so far this autumn. Wind speed up to 40 m/s with blizzard more or less all over the country. The road to th nearest town, Akureyri, has been closed now since Friday. The harbour here in Husavik was damaged by big ocean waves. The temperature has been fluctuating around 0 °C

My view: The street on the front with about 30 cm of snow. At the back I have a view of my backyard with birch and gran trees. And behind that a primary school playground. The time is now 17:07 and it is slowly getting dark.

A picture will surely follow later Cool

I am about 150' from the Atlantic Ocean, it is 4:00 PM, the temperature is 23 C, 74 F, the sky is blue, and it is a beautiful afternoon. Photo to follow when I find my camera. Please do send a photo - when you leave the basement.

And the biggest bank crisis We can sympathize with that, Brell. I do not open the drapes in the computer room because there's nothing front or side but other houses. My camera is at hand but will pass on sending a picture since the scenery is not choice.

Sherry, I envy your view......

Well, as I live in a concrete jungle, with houses all around, I too keep my curtains semi - closed. My computer room is on the 2nd flr. I have my huge flat screen TV in the middle of the window, so that the people across the street cannot see me. My desk is to the right of it. That way I can see the TV while a play MM and do my paper work.

My view is of two 3 story semi-detached victorian houses. Houses all around. No real view to speak of.

BTW: I hate winters in Toronto....very damp and very cold. Last year, we in the city had so much snow and no where to put it. What a mess!

So......Question to all of you....who do you think will win the Presidential USA election? And why?

Make sure you've read and agree with the rules of posting here! The forums are run by three administrators. Read here who they are and what you may (and may not) expect from them. A brief history of the game At first there was Midnight Mansion, now often called MM1. This game package was for Mac only and contained 8 mansions, each on easy, normal and hard level. Above that there was a builder included, so that customers could design mansions themselves. Then there was Midnight Mansion HD, now abbreviated as MM1 HD for both Mac and Windows. It contained the 3x8 mansions from MM1 plus 3x a bonus mansion: Tomb of Princes. All in high definition! Actionsoft's latest game, Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills, includes 28 mansions with a lot of new features. The 8 built-in mansions have 3 difficulties along with 4 extra custom mansions. Yes indeed, the MM2 package also has an included builder to create mansions! Custom mansions In the past decades several customers started experimenting with the builders. Creating rooms. Talking about it on the Midnight Mansion Forums. Sending their own designed mansions to other board members to test them. And finally sending them to the administrators of MMF. Result? Nearly 200 extra mansions are downloadable from these boards and some of them have over 100 rooms. If you like to download custom mansions, go to the General Custom Mansions Area (Mac and Windows) where you find the lists with all the download spots.
