Glad to see I'm not the only one to need a tissue for Drakengard's Caim and Angelus story, and it's **spoilerish** sad, bittersweet, yet touching conclusion in the second game. That cinema was the hardest minute-plus I've ever sat through in a game, knowing what the two of them went through and became leading up to it.

Juuuuuuuuust keep digging that hole, dude

I just figured if it was wide open like my second suggestion, it might get people interested enough to do something. Perhaps finish a picture they started in a past competition, but never got to finish (or submit), start something new that they've wanted to draw, but the theme chosen never lined up with it... you know, stuff like that. God knows I wish I had seen the Blizzard competition in time, as I thought of a great image to make, but it was too late. Actually, now that I've written that, perhaps it could simply be to draw something from a past competition's theme.

Who the hell's Duck Nukem? Is he the fourth nephew that Scrooge McDuck never talks about?

I had an idea, but working on my novels, short stories, and work in general has kept me busy. New Topic ideas: - Any and all fighting games are open to usage. 2D, 3D, old, new, mainstream (Street Fighter and its many incarnations, King of Fighters, etc.), obscure (Revengers of Vengeance, Fighting Masters, etc.)... if it's a game where fighting is the law of the land (or at least the majority of what the game's about), it's fair game. Stick with one game, one franchise, or mix and match a dozen of them... whichever floats your boat. - Open it up to anything game related to get people back into it. Doesn't matter if its Castlevania, MegaMan, Final Fantasy, Diablo... as long as the picture is based on a game, it can be entered.

In case no one's seen this... Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter

Aeris dies? WTFPDQSNAFUFUBAR?! I wuz just going two by that game in 2018 for it's twenteeith anyversiry! GOD! Thanx for ruinning it gaiz!

The only one that really comes to mind is the story of Caim and Angelus in the Drakengard series. It didn't make me full-on sob, but it certainly put a lump in my throat and made me misty-eyed with how it ended. Needed a tissue for that cinema in Drakengard 2.

I almost got to have the Atari 800 version to play on my Atari XEGS. But sadly, the cart (like Gorf and a few others) was shaped oddly. The narrower sides of the cart were just a little too close together, and while it fit fine in an Atari 800, it couldn't fit over the plastic casing in the cartridge port of the Atari XEGS. Pissed me off when I had to take it (and Gorf) back because of that. Never owned the 2600 version unfortunately.

It is a great old game, isn't it? Made me happy as hell to see it show up on Midway Arcade Treasures 2.

Just for the hell of it...

Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon (album)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 I enjoyed this one.

Hope it's sold in stores. I don't feel like trying to DL what will likely be well over 2GB... or dealing with Steam.

O is for...

Well hopefully the DQ project will get filled. It's been going on for so long, and floating in limbo for an unfortunate chunk of that time. I'd hate to see a franchise I like wind up with only a handful of its many tracks covered.

M is for...

I is for...

That is some beautiful artwork. Nice style and depth to everything. Makes me wish I had $20 to spare.

So um... what happens if you lose? Does a big screen with "YOU'RE GOING TO HELL HEATHEN!" pop up or something? "Pray hard to continue" with a countdown?

You know, it was featured in that movie... "Midnight in the Olive Garden of Good and Evil"? It's a place where the food is decent, and the fake Italian atmosphere makes you feel at home. It's a wonderful place ... ... Oh who am I kidding. It's a pit. A shit hole that overcharges for food that likely came in the same Lipton bags you can buy at any grocery store... yet costs three times as much. The utensils still have food from someone elses' meal encrusted on them, the "family" and "Italian" atmosphere are so fake and painted on that I'm surprised the faces of the employees don't chip off when they talk, the food is half cold by the time it arrives, and the gas and shits you get three hours later just cap off the festivities by letting you know the food likely wasn't cooked properly (or it had freezer burn... back in 2004). BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!
