Hmm, my cousin mailed me a gaming magazine with the food she sent me, and one of the pages has this. Maybe old news I dunno, I tried searching and got a bunch of remixes, so sorry if it is.

On occasion, but I haven't been able to play since the summer, maybe it's a lot harder now that it's been out a while. I was kind of disappointed to learn that the rankings in MK apparently don't go past 9999, but I guess it has to top off somewhere. My guy says that the way ratings are calculated for it are bad in the first place so maybe it doesn't matter what ones ranking is anyway...

If you want to make things easy for a DM 4-5 is optimal, more or less means that they have to do extra tweaking to the difficulty level of an encounter so that it's not too hard or easy. While I am interested, I'm not sure how well I can commit at the moment right at this very moment, because school is nearing it's end, which means a million research and big art projects. I've only ever played D&D in custom built worlds too so I can't really comment on any existing campaign material.

You're going to flip out so much over one guy with mildly weak reading comprehension? GG I guess.

I think he was just wondering which one you considered good, and which one you considered poop. Although going by the order of things, it looks like 2=good 3=poop for both games and movies. (Never played the games, never watched 3 so I wouldn't know).

Hmm, nice trailer, but I think the original one was much more effective.

My entry has been sent in, this month has been a fun little experiment with add layers.

Yeah I'm not doing a boss either Besides how can bosses be the ultimate power if the player ends up winning in the end most the time!

Yoshi is all over the place as the list progresses, sometimes being as much as like 14th from the bottom (top middle), and sometimes 5th from the bottom. (that's the first thing I focused on cause I've always played Yoshi since the 64, and can't seem to reach the same level of skill I have with yoshi as with other characters...or they just bore me ) The top of the list seems staticish, but some of them bounce all over the place too. I've never really cared for tier lists, they seem to me to just be characters that are easiest to pick up and be decent with from the start even if one doesn't have a lot of technical skill. I don't know why I posted, I'm just bored, probably nothing actually worth posting though!

I'm working on the background mostly, now, I finished the rest. Backgrounds are always my weakest point, and getting everything to look cohesive, it'd probably work better if I did what I was supposed to and draw everything first! >.< I think I've been getting better though due to a combination of participating in this, and drawing comics.

Sooo...how's every ones art coming this month?

So...I take it you've never been on a military ship before, if you say you have I call you a liar.

He talks slower in this one it seems, but something about that makes it more something... I liked what he said about the monsters: "The monsters just can't get enough of the spotlight, displaying themselves like mutilated peacocks at the earliest opportunity" Granted I'm pretty easily amused.

Because I have no TV or wifi. Haven't played smash in almost 6 months.

Yeah same here, as long as it's 3.5, I have some expansion books too if anyone wants to make use of them. (monsters of faerun 3.0, dragonimicon, and the class book for divine magic users). I don't have them on hand except for MoF cause it's on my computer, but after school is done I can make sure to grab the books from home if anyone wants to use them. I've tried dming one before, but for some reason lost track of it I'm not really sure why/how, kind of like those dreams you have where you signed up for a class but never actually went to it all semester cause you forgot about it.

Yeah, a majority of the music I have from OCR is from games I have never played and probably will never have to opportunity to do so. I like it though, there's so much diversity in the music here it's always fun when something new comes in, especially if I end up liking it.

I've got a good suggestion for you fH that might help. I used to have the same problem as you, even ignoring the fact that I might sit in some of my more boring classes doodling all the time. But then I participated in something called Daily Doodles last year. Try to produce something in less than a day. Like if you have a small bit of free time, ask someone for a theme, then draw that theme as best you can before real life demands your attention. Or put some random words in a hat and draw three, then work them into a picture somehow. It's really hard and at first you might not be able to complete anything or do it to a level you're happy with, but if you keep doing it even just a few days a week for a month, you can get better at putting what you have in mind on paper. Maybe next time you have a long break give it a try and see if it helps. But mainly the point of it is to train your brain to be more responsive, it worked pretty well for me, I hope maybe it'll help you.

Ooh, I have an idea for this one, I hope I can do it good though.

I've never had trouble getting good grades, and I spend a fair amount of my time drawing and trying to expand on my ability and knowledge for art in general. If you're saying trying to improve ones art is going to cause one to get poor grades in other classes and not have time to do other stuff, maybe you're just really bad at time management, which says quite a bit cause I'm horrible at time management and still get along fine. Edit: To add onto that I've come across many artists on the internet over the past 8 years that are AMAZING artists that get paid pretty decent on just commissions and freelancing, at least one of them didn't actually draw much or any at all during her childhood and sorta just picked it up one day as an adult.

You totally misread what I said, I'm not saying I need a new desktop for a new OS, I'm saying I'm worried the OS on my current desktop will lose support long before I can afford to buy a new computer. (That means I probably can't afford to pay for a new OS to upgrade either).

Because I like to use something for a very long time before having to replace it that's why, sure they'll keep supporting vista for a while, but somehow I doubt they'll do it for long enough to keep me happy, given how long I tend to hold onto a computer before replacing it. This basically means I'll probably have to replace my desktop a lot sooner than I normally would, which is irritating. It has nothing to do with me thinking it'll suddenly cease to exist go be high and mighty somewhere else. Oh well, I guess at least when I save up for a laptop since I travel so damn much I can get it with windows 7 instead of Vista.

So uh, what's gonna happen to vista? My dad got me a new computer about 3 months ago and dell forced us to install vista on it. Does that mean people with Vista are screwed unless they want to shell out the cash to buy Windows 7?

I used to collect pokemon cards for the artwork mostly, as I never got to play any except with my cousin (who cheated a lot of the time anyway). Kind of the same with Magic the Gathering cards, although I used to play it a lot in highschool with my friends. But I really really really enjoy good artwork and like to stare at it like a crazy person.

Are you using a tablet? If you set up the canvas area right you can just trace it. (If the drawing is too big to be traced in one go you can do it in separate parts and piece it together). Otherwise, why don't you just sketch/draw it on the computer in the first place?

It's not really closed minded if you don't happen to like what you hear, those people are being silly if they think you should like or hate something just because they do.
