I did something in like a minute. Then again it seems the most time I'm willing to dedicate to anything is 15-24 hours before I get bored, and most of my stuff gets done in just 3-5...

I dunno, I try to think about it, and it seems my music tastes were pretty branched out from the start. I grew up listening to funk, jazz (of all sorts), symphonic/orchestral (my fav tape when I was little was a bunch of mozart songs D: ), blues, R&B, various stuff from electronica family, rock, country, various forms of pop, reggae, even video game and cartoon music.. I'm sure there's more that I can't name in there too. Part of it may be because my dad is a musician, so he likes most kinds of music, and is always looking for new ways to do stuff with it. I think the only thing they didn't listen to or expose me to at least a little in some way or another was punk, ska and metal. I never really liked mostpunk, but I was introduced to metal at some point in Highschool, some of which I like (power, and symphonic metal mostly) some of which I dislike (because it's too harsh or boring/painful to my ears). I like Ska, as long as it isn't too generic (I just love the instrumentation) That said, I'll give most stuff a listen through regardless of genre, cause I know there's something good in everything I just need to find it. Granted I might not finish listening to it if it bothers me somehow, or bores me. Then again, I very rarely find myself prejudging stuff, except cartoons when I was little. And I've learned not to do that, because I'll often like something once I sit down and actually watch it.

Oooh, convenient, I'm driving home for early voting this weekend, maybe I'll have a nice poster to hang up in my dorm.

It IS kind of fun to be able to teleport and stay in one place or end up behind people reliable, the first few times anyway. Although I'm not sure how "invincible" that makes him...

Thanks for explaining that, I knew the project ones were held up cause the projects aren't out yet, I was just bursting with curiosity over the others.

I can't think of the right words to respond to Nohbody, but if I could they wouldn't be very positive...

I'm actually kind of wondering the same thing, it seems there's song in the judge thread thing that were submitted last year and yes'd at some point, but haven't been posted...even though songs submitted this year that were also yes'd seem to have been posted.

I'm really enjoying this, a lot, I just wish it was longer.

I think it's more of a cultural thing, in Islamic art for example you aren't allowed to depict anything literally, especially if it's religious that's why Islamic art is all geometric patterns and such. I'm not sure about music, but maybe it's something similar. Or maybe the Quran is extremely sacred to them, and they only wish for it to be spread in the "correct" way. The particular words in it aren't exactly nice words to have in a song, whether they're from the Quran or not.

Hmm, I guess I'll go with D. unavoidable enemies. It was hard for me to choose one, because they all seem to be a common occurrence (especially in older games) that don't really irritate me in the games. But I have found unavoidable enemies (except for like...bosses) to be the most irritating when I have to deal with such things, but really only in games that do so poorly? I dunno....

Try the works cited page for cloning on the wikipedia (if it has a page for it anyway, I'm not bothering to look). I know the wiki itself isn't a valid source, but the sources cited in it often are.

I did a little sketch, emailing it now.

I haven't tried using GIMP or Photoshop in well over 4 years, but I can say I couldn't get anything to actually work in GIMP without looking at the documentation for it. While photoshop I could start up and be able to do basic coloring/drawing/layering just by experimentally pushing buttons at random. GIMP is just as good as photoshop though if you take the time to learn to use it, I've seen plenty of great pieces of art work done in gimp. (giant wallpaper example)

Well, if they can't run it, maybe I can. I mean, I don't do anything ban worthy ever, so it'd be hard to knock me out of it. And even if I keep busy with school, I check the forums everyday. I don't want to see FAC die, it's a fun way to sharpen artistic skills. But maybe when Bleck comes back, he won't do anymore stuff the mods don't like....maybe...

GIMP is really difficult to use in the first place without going through a lot of the help files it seems. I have it but am too lazy/busy with school to try to learn to use it right now >.<

I've never seen anyone get banned that long for something like that before. :S

I thought she seemed to have nice potential as a healer and stuff, but...it was so long ago I don't remember if I just put all the healing stuff on her because she couldn't fight too well, or if it was something else.

He's the navi of Okami, but a million times better at least. He also is actually moderately important to the story too, which I thought was a neat touch. I never actually finished OoT but Navi didn't seem to be that strongly tied to the story at all. Also, fair winds Atmuh, I hope you're not leaving entirely till the mods wack you with the perma ban stick, your posting often gives me a nice giggle.

I don't remember people making a big fuss that the DS couldn't play Gameboy games, but it doesn't seem like a logical step to include gameboy compatibility on the DS. It did to have GBA though. I don't think it's quite the same though comparing the DSi to people complaining about something like the cart sticking out, or even lack of an old gameboy slot though. They set a precedent by having the GBA slot in there and making DS games that made use of it. Whether it has been used well, and in many games or not doesn't really come into it. It's still being used. Although I don't really care that they're doing this personally, because I have no intention of side grading my DS even if it stops functioning well. If it does I'll probably either wait for a real upgrade, or get a DSlite.

I had though of doing Isun and Navi, it seems like it would be humorous for the two to meet. But I fail at humor so I can't really think of anything funny to draw between them.

That's a really cute song, but I dunno why it made people laugh a whole lot? I'm only halfway through though...

Aside from the fact that I crushed my index finger on my main hand in a car door. My health both physically and mentally is currently failing, so I might not participate in this one. I really want to, but even if my hand among other things turns out ok, I'm not really sure my heart is in it. So we'll see. Lots of people have been participating, I hope we get a lot of really nice pieces this month, as we have in the past few months.

Yeah, I don't normally like Christian Songs, but Our God is an Awesome God, is a pretty neat song. I actually had to march/play that song my Junior year, the drill was horrid though, lots of box floats... Er anyway, yes music has brought me to tears before, although more often then not it has to be paired up with something visual. Some things just make me feel a certain way, like if I'm walking by the fountains while the school clock is chiming the hour, I tend to feel a little eerie/melancholy. I'm sure there are songs that have brought out a few tears before, or other feelings (like feelings of so much elation and excitement I think I might burst, and feel the need to run around or something). But I can't think of any off hand.

Think of it as a donation instead of paying for the game I guess, since you can still get it for free. I kind of consider it like buying the printed version of a webcomic, you get a physical ish copy of it, and some extra bonus content/commentary. I've never actually bought the printed version of a webcomic before, but most of the best ones seem to have with extra little side stories, artist/writer commentary, or are colored versions (in the case of b/w ones).

I have a wii...and no tv. It looks cute though, all the little critters remind me of those stuffed animal bacteria and viruses. If I have a chance though I think I'd check it out.
