Art Lesson Numéro Deux

Okie, finally got off my butt and attempted the next 4 lessons in my art odyssey. Let's see what we got.

First off, I have some drawing pens now. Mr Linley says you need a 0.1, a 0.5 and a 0.7. I have a set of pens my (retired) artist uncle got for me a couple of years back, but I never had any use for them till today. Unfortunately, the sizes I have are 0.25, 0.35, 0.5 and 0.7. And the 0.5 he already used and the ink is so clogged up and dry in there that no matter how much I washed it (I even tried vinegar!) it just won't unclog; it's totally unusable. So my lines are thicker in places than they ought to be. Anyway, let's see if it's an improvement on the blue ball-point.

Silver Arrows’s Art Odyssey

Okay, I'm thinking it's about time I learned to draw. I mean, properly draw, not just any old rubbish. Currently, I would say I'm kinda... okay... at drawing. Not dismal, but not anything to write home about either, and besides, my pictures never come out the way I imagine them to in my head. My style is far, far too cartoonish, which is great when Continue reading

My Favourite Captain N Scenes

My favourite and best scenes from Captain N - The Game Master

Episode 9 - Nightmare on Mother Brain's Street

This has some of the best scenes :mrgreen: I don't know, maybe you have to actually watch them for real to find them funny.

[Edit 2021: I'm going through my old posts, choosing what to carry over, and holy carp, this show was awesome and bonkers. I really need to watch it again.]

Mother Brain: Metroid mirror on the wall
Am I the cutest of them all?
Mirror: Princess Lana's the cutest chick,
You're so ugly you make me sick!

Mother Brain: What do you know, twerp! I will be the most beautiful woman in Videoland! And you, Eggplant Wizard, are going to help me do it!

Kid Icarus! Kid Icarus! KID ICARUS!!!!

[Yup, guys, this is the start of the Kid Icarus Rabid Fangirl era. Prepare yourselves.]

Kid Icarus is easily my favourite character from Captain N — as you can probably tell from my home page banner, although I never got very far in Kid Icarus on the NES. And — Janey Mack! — he is back back BACK!!! I knew it was my lil Kid from the moment I saw him on the cover! *sigh*

pit-ready

Welcome back, Kid! Mega Man woulda been cool in this, I wonder why they didn't include him, too? And Ryu!! YEEEEEEEEES!!! Ryuuuuuuuu!

If Chun Li was in Brawl, everyone else might as well pack up and go home, because I kick everyone's butt as Chun Li. I was easily the SSF2 champ at my sixth form.

Ya!

Mind you, that's not saying much, as most of the kids in my class were rubbish and just button-bashers anyway. Oh man, jokes, during our computing lessons, we just used to play on the SNES instead of working. No wonder I failed module 4 (hardware yay!).

More EAxis of Evil — Spore Privacy Violation

Sheesh! What is wrong with EA?

As if SecuROM wasn't bad enough, there is also a MASSIVE SECURITY LEAK in Spore: If you EVER share ANY content with ANYONE, be warned that YOUR COMPUTER USERNAME is ENCRYPTED INTO THE CREATURE "IMAGE" FILE. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REMOVE THIS INFORMATION BY HEXING! This means that ANYONE who downloads it will know what your username is on your computer.

This represents a MASSIVE security breach because many people (foolishly) encode their real names into their Windoze username. Even if you don't, revealing this username to the world presents a point of vulnerability for attack by hackers. By sharing any Spore content ANYWHERE, you are leaving your computer open to attack and leaving yourself open to stalking and identity theft.

From: MATY.

Like I said already, EA aren't getting a penny more out of me. What the hell is Spore anyway?

About Aikea Guinea (Again)

I just came across this thread on PMBD and something has happened which I thought impossible: my opinion of Thoma$$ has got even lower. This is by Aikea Guinea, explaining why she left FA at TSR (and also solves the mystery of why she and Gelydh didn't get listed on the retired artists page, which I was wondering about before)

I wanted tell you 'my story' and explain why I left TSR. This is in by no means a cry for attention, I'm just tired of staying silent to 'protect' someone else. I'll skip a long and stupid intro and just jump right into the long and stupid story.
