A lifetime supply of free, nonlethal food in exchange for a poorly-marketed console that's due to become obsolete in a few years' time? Hell. Yes. By the time I'm dead, the amount of tacos I will have consumed will more than offset the obscene cost of the PS3, inflation considered.

Well, I'm agnostic insofar as that I don't follow any particular established religion, nor do I believe in any sort of afterlife. However, I do acknowledge that I am a god of at least three different things. I even have a small cult following of 17 people. I'm awesome like that.

That makes you agnostic, not pagan. And really, "heathen" is one of those words that fundamentalist religious people like to use when describing anyone not of the same faith as them.

It's halfway there. Not quite rifle, not quite musket, but all awesome miniaturised steam-powered firearm. It's setting-specific equipment, and to be honest, I have to use a lot of handwaving and technobabble to make it work. I take my inspiration from quite a few sources for both art and writing. Moslty World War-era American, British and Nazi propaganda, Soviet motivational posters, classical Roman or Greek statuary, World War I-era military uniforms, Spanish Inquisition, Renaissance armour, gothic art, film noir, Celtic druidism, and games like Guild Wars, Warhammer 40,000 and Fallout.

Going off the top of my head, I would say dawn, midday and late afternoon. No specific animals, it's just that those are the most logical times for them to go for a drink.

I agree it's quite a bit longer than some things posted here, but really, it's just a short story. I'm aware that the plot is actually quite simple, but what I was trying to practice here was pacing and tone. Yeah, that should be enough justification for a bump...

Thats like when people who are too lazy to try to get good grades pull the whole "grades dont really tell you how smart you are, blah blah" card. To be fair, I've met quite a few people who received very good grades and had the judgment and reasoning of two short planks. By definition, standardised testing rewards rote learning, which in itself isn't indicative of intelligence, but memory.

deviantART linky So I've put learning digital painting on hold for now and decided to try using a pencil again. I like the results, myself. Comments and criticisms?

I'd say there would be a lot less people to begin with. Considering that war is the most effective way for dominant ancient civilisations to collect supplies and impose their ideologies in such a way as to ensure a more efficient allocation of resources. Wars are also excellent catalysts for technological development.

No, it's what people who aren't morons do in a fight.

Given sufficient population density and strain on resources, the problem will fix itself. Relax. Some countries have aging populations that are going to shrink very quickly due to slowing birth rates to make up for those people who refuse to use contraception.

um ya. :-s Oh, yes. I fear for my life each and every time I venture out into the city. God forbid that a "gangsta" would have enough testicular fortitude to back up their bad-boy-tough-guy image, let alone be able to land any hits before he takes a foot in the crotch.

I'm sure that there are much "hotter" people getting married out there somewhere, but because they haven't been on TV/movie they aren't special enough to be in a magazine. Hotter than britney, jessica simpson,angelina jolie and jenifer aniston? no i dont think so. :shame: ... You're serious? I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

A .308 round weighs about 9.5g. I have played basketball. I enjoyed it immensely, and I was fairly good at it. However, fencing and rifle shooting defecate on it from a great height. i dont care how much a bullet wieghs I meant you. I weigh about 140lb. What's your point? I need a whole 9.5g worth of .308 to put you down. Hell, I've seen a safely tipped fencing foil open up someone's arm up to the elbow. It doesn't even have a triangular cross-section like an ep̮̩̉̉e or a sabre. You're in no position to argue since you clearly haven't done either sport.

A .308 round weighs about 9.5g. I have played basketball. I enjoyed it immensely, and I was fairly good at it. However, fencing and rifle shooting defecate on it from a great height. My own point still stands. I said women worth dating.

I can kill you. Your move, Mr Bond.

The former, but certainly not from a hack like Napoleon. And to be fair, algebra is not something that you would use often in everyday life unless you have a career in some specific fields.

Okay. Women worth dating go for men. What's hard to understand about that? They aren't attracted to men because of what they do or what music they listen to. They go for the man.

Good god. You understood that as well as a garden snail understands quantum physics.

Really. Girls worth dating where I am go for men. You Americans make it seem so complex.

So are AV Idols. They don't get much mainstream attention. Explain that. I'm okay with celebrities up to a point. I'll watch the movie or I'll pirate the music, but I'll be damned if I pay to read some talentless hack's travesty of an article on them walking down the street or having more than one eyeball.

We invade third world countries and crush their puny governments beneath our iron boot heels. No, really. It depends. Sometimes we just have a barbie in someone's backyard and have fun by eating, talking and drinking booze. Other times we'll hit the city and laugh at "gangstas". Other times we go off and play Dungeons and Dragons, although unfortunately we haven't had the time to do that for a couple of years. With my girlfriend, well... I'm usually having my face stuffed with food at her place.

I didn't say that. What I was saying is that if he doesn't want to play basketball, but his parents still want him to play a sport, he should try something that suits his particular needs more. He did imply that he would like to be able to make friends within a team and all that.

I don't see the Freudian connotations. Care to point them out? When you can hit a 12cm wide target at 500m, you can talk about requiring skill. When you can parry two attacks half a second apart while retreating and be able to switch to a lunging riposte within another half a second, you can talk about skill. I played football and basketball before taking up a foil and ep̮̩̉̉e. They have nothing on the skill and sheer speed of fencing.
