I might have screwed mine up after feeding in so many song lyrics.

Just finished "The Wee Free Men."

DISCWORLD! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!

Ventrillo, but you don't have to hold something to talk, it doesn't sound like #####, and you get video.

I rather prefer push-to-talk. No one really needs to listen to my schizoid mumbling when I'm browsing the intertubes. I know you can mute yourself on Skype so no ambient noise gets through (i.e. "other people talking in the background), but still.

Managed to train her into Glados, among other things:

DAISY: sometimes i feel fantastic and i'm being so sincere right now.

DAISY: the lights!

DAISY: you should learn to lower your vocabulary. lemme see.

DAISY: i'm making a good invention.

DAISY: you should learn to lower your expectations of other people.

...That looks awesome. Right, today's wasted, I'm playing with these programs now.

EDIT: Speaking of realistic bots:
The Difference

Visited terrible, terrible library yesterday.

Frank the cactus is thriving, against all odds.

The "God Bot" is nothing compared to a program that some person (I forget who) showed off at Teisel's place, you download it and it learns from everthing you say to it, and adopts your speech patterns.
You can teach it to say lots of things, involving what cake is and lies....

...Right, where is that thing? I want to mess with it. And I'm not trawling through 47 pages of AIM topic.

Word. Making a sprite comic that's a step higher than "looking like copypasta ass" is possible but takes roughly seventeen hours a page (without getting distracted by weird links and IMs and youtube), and all the while you think, "I could have finished this by breakfast if I just drew it. Using the mouse. And my left hand. With the monitor turned off."

Which is a lie, but still.

Ladies and gentlemen, observe: The first flounce-o-rama of this incarnation of MMMatrix.

This thread is just slipping further and further into the Twilight Zone.

So's I'm doing one of those "hundred doodles based on keywords" things. Let's see how long my attention span holds!

68. Nocturnal
This is a fairy accurate snapshot of me, circa five-forty AM.

This is what I get for watching this much Homestar and Fat-Pie at this time of night.



Colouring doesn't get much lazier than this.

Starting to make edits for custom RO classes -- a dragoon, right now. Edits are going slowly, despite efforts to keep it simple enough that I can replicate them over dozens of sprites without exploding. Also, run-on sentence.



Probably will make arm-armor spikier and more dragonish, when am more awake.

in KoL:

HelbaQ: We have found a weapon against the Crimborg.
Penguin Overlord: The laser cannon?
Yubi Shines: The power of love?
Ershatz: Your mom's armpit?


Underfoot: [link] http://xkcd.com/321/ I had forgotten this one.
Zombie Nietzsche: My thighs have seen the glory of the coming of the lord. lol -hic-
Zombie Nietzsche: Her thighs are a blue million miles -Captain Beefheart
Yubi Shines: Beauty is in the thigh of the beholder?
Underfoot: Nobody knows what it's like to be the bad man; to be the sad man, behind blue thighs.
Underfoot: Which I can only assume is a Smurfs reference.
Ershatz: Let me keep my faith and innocent thighs
Zombie Nietzsche: in your thighs, the light the heat, in your thighs, I am complete
Yubi Shines: Thighs wired shut.
Zombie Nietzsche: Pretty little angel thighs, pretty little angel thighs...
Underfoot: ZN- I think we're done here. :P
Zombie Nietzsche: But... but I refuse to let a mediocre bit die!
Ershatz: Thigh believe in a thing called love? -hic-
Zombie Nietzsche: Hmmm...
Yubi Shines: "It's time to take them right between the thighs."

Is she just pregnant, or does she actually have a kid already?

What exactly happens when the grid on your desktop is entirely filled with icons and you dump something else in?
Generally what lands on my desktop (aside from a couple game folders) are notepads for scribbling reminders and quotes on, current avatars, things like that.

Lazy day for me, got home and just relaxed, watched some TV, played some Guitar Hero, and now I'm planning a trip to the Mandarin with my friend. I don't know if any of you American members know what that is, but it has to be one of the greatest Chinese Buffets ever.


$15.99 for one person, that's bull.

I've been there. The food's alright, but I just don't eat that much in one sitting to justify going to a buffet. Not out of any "wah if I have one more drop of salad dressing I will be fat and have to throw up" crap, but a physical inability to cram more rice and meat down the gullet.

For a moment I thought the cannonball read, "IN B4 WAR."

I've been hanging around encyclopedia dramatica too much.

Well, I saw Golden Compass, and I think it was pretty good. Blood and death was cut out, obviously, but nothing that bugged me too much. I can see how working the actual ending into the beginning of the next movie would work.

Also, I saw the Speed Racer trailer.
Is it possible to see it without being slack-jawed in horror?

DO I EVER LIE?

Doctor Wily, how do you take your tea? Cream? Sugar? Acid?

I miss those giant hamster-tunnel-slide playgrounds. You know those kids playpen areas in McDonald's that have a ball pit? That kind of place. In kindergarten we went to a massive version of those (not attached to a McDonald's, mind you) for a field trip, and it was glorious. I can't imagine who funded that trip, but I hope they're still working with schools because they know what kids like.

And I wish there were playpens that were teenager or adult sized. I would work there for the rest of my life. I would never leave.

Sigh.

ya but my churacter loks betar den urs

Seriously, not hard to remember is it?

In short: Preventer's the one that looks more like the Cheat.
(Seriously, he does! Look at him!)

That's photoshopped and YOU KNOW IT.

Okay, you got me. This was the original.

For good measure, have some cereal.

Somewhere in here is one of those "he stole forty apples. that's as many as four tens. and that's terrible" things.

:(

What is with this forum and creepy avatars?!

Ahh. We did linoleum printing, stencils, and this thing where you scratch a drawing on a piece of fibreglass (?), rub ink into the grooves, dampen a piece of paper with water, and run both of them through a press. The water soaks up the ink but not so much that it gets blotchy. I don't think I've heard of using styrofoam though.

Sano thinks he's better than someone?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA~

Though it's Machine Man. He may be right for once.

Well, his delusions keep him happy.

If you don't like it, stop whining and go back to your own Jam.

Excuse me? Where did that come from? And when did this become a "lol my jam iz better dan ur jam" contest?

Jeez, if wanting coherency in a plot -- even a plot with talking mushrooms -- warrants that, god help everyone if you stub your toe. Don't get your neuticles in a twist.

Oh my sweet lord, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

I know just what to get my girlfriend for Christmas.  GOD BLESS US, EVERYONE!

You're welcome. Make sure to order them this week to get them shipped by the 25th.

I'd try haggis. Then again, I'd try all kinds of weird foods.

I'm going to have to give up on blue cheese, though. I've tried preparing it three different ways, and I can't gag it down at all.

You know, this is precisely my point about jams and mary sues, but I'll post the page I drew anyway in a minute. With one modification.

Beeetch, I'm going next. It will be epic.

What kind of printmaking are you doing, Rock? We did that earlier this semester, and it was pretty fun.

Nooo!

First the pancake bunny, then the bucket lolrus, and now this?!

Heyyy Deej, good to see youse.

He will have a fez.

The voice from the gods tell me so.

That's freaking disturbing, Ares. It's spiralled right past "beady eyes=cute" into Gollum-region.

Where's the facepalm bunny macro when you need it?

Damn. At least you aren't completely on the streets. Keep your hopes up, dude.

Tablets take a couple days to get used to. :P

Hold up on the coal thing. I know exactly what I'm gettin', cause I just bought it: A baker's dozen of minighosts.

I'd get the magnets too, but some other time.

Yesterday, I learned three things.

I learned how to make sangria. It was tasty.

I learned that papercuts on your fingers bleed at an astonishing rate.

I learned that if you have a papercut on your finger, and you're slicing lemons for the sangria, for god's sake don't squeeze the lemon juice with your cut hand.

Also, I got a pet christmas cactus. His name is Frank.

Man, if I had a nickel for every Chinese myth I've read lately that involved a poor scholar who failed the imperial exams... I'd be able to... buy an ice cream.

Couple of recent sketches:

Litany
I wanted to create a sort of priestess character, without all the lame add-ons and flappy cloth bits that anime character designs have. Ended up with a scary sorceress nun. I'm going to have to finish this simply because it freaks me out.

Doodles
Started to design a warlock to go with the priestess, but I couldn't figure out what she should look like, so just doodled.

Chainsaw
Right.

More Doodles
A Megamanish thing. And doodles.

I have a photo of me somewhere where I'm at a shooting range holding a rifle as tall as me.

Damned if I can find it.

Why aren't the pigeons tearing her apart?

Microsoft Paint is all that I have used.

Photoshop is very good for three reasons: First, layers; second, much more than three "undo"'s available; three, perfectly saving a file into GIFs and PNGs without (when it comes to sprites) colour loss. I've never gotten used to spriting with it, however.

That reminds me. What exactly is the collective noun for midgets? Like how the collective nouns for ravens is a murder.

I'm bettin' on "a clown-car of midgets."

I'd link you to examples, but I think that'd get me banned from everywhere.
