Oh, I would've moved it if he'd ASKED, rather than flat out ordering me, with a healthy dose of profanity, to do it right off the bat.

Ah, yes, youth... A couple of months back I had someone from two grades below me demand that I remove my bag from a seat on the bus so he could sit down, without so much as a "Please". Naturally, I refused, and went back to talking to my friends. No biggie. So then he sits down anyway. Doesn't matter to me, I just shift my bag and smirk a little, but I ignore him and keep talking. Out of the blue, he demands, "So you think you can boss me around because you're older, huh?" Obviously, with a lot more swearing that I'd care to type in for TIF. Whereupon I replied, "No, because I'm better than you." Okay, so it was arrogant, but this kid was getting on my nerves. I then proceed to ignore him as he make sudden moves as though to punch me in the face. I chalked it up to bravado, since a group of girls were watching the entire scene. After a minute of being ignored, wonderboy decides to actually hit me in the face. I've spent four years on basketball courts and soccer fields with people bigger than him who hit harder, so I just let the first hit slide. Two more hits to the face later, I decide that it's getting a little too far, and my glasses are cutting into my face. So I stood up, pulled him up with me and punched him in the nadgers. He's been avoiding me ever since. Moral of the story? If you for even one second suspect that their parents ain't beating them, do it yourself.

Unless you're writing a script, there's no reason to write speech as: Person: "Blah blah blah." It's a lot more effective in prose to write it as: Person said, "Blah blah blah."; or "Blah blah blah," said Person. Also, mind spaces around your punctuation. A comma only has a space after it, not before.

I have an ever-present blister on my right index finger from fencing, along with a tendency for my ring and pinky fingers to curl up into my palm even when I'm off the strip.

Well, when it comes to anger problems, you can't beat advice from our good friend, Bash.org... Sever the main neck tendons before cutting through the spinal cord. That will allow you more opportunity to separate the vertebrae prior to removing the head.

Actually, the idea was that he's sliding left to get out of the way, and had his sabre up for an attack of opportunity. I was desperately trying to mix heroic fantasy and realism, so obviously, some sacrifices had to be made. I had enough presence of mind to keep the plate armour realistic, though, instead of giving the guy absurdly huge pauldrons and a breastplate six inches thick. Composition-wise, I tried to make the entire piece "lean" towards the right to emphasize the direction of movement of the characters. As for the lines, well, I just have something against clean lines. They look way too sanitary for my tastes. I just feel that rough lines give my sketches more of an "organic" feel to them. Oh, sure, I use clean lines sometimes, but usually only for metallic objects...

Oh, come on. 40 views, 22 hours and not a single comment?

Yep. Typical. Its just not needed. If you cant click twice, you need to get a new mouse. Sorry, its just not needed. And, glory does the same job anyway. Wait, if a teleport to Al Kharid is not needed, then what is? Tele to Lumbridge- Not needed because we can just suicide with 3 items Glory to Draynor- Not needed because it's so close to Lumbridge Sceptre to Barbs- Not needed because it's so close to Varrock The list goes on... Typical F2P whining you say? If you only had so little updates, wouldn't you be asking for another one? Also keep in mind that P2P get all of F2P too... If you're taking that approach, then you don't need a glider to Al Kharid.

Linky Comments, C/C and advice on world domination are welcome. Donations of pie are also welcome but not compulsory.

Wow, an educated response on TIF about weapon usage? What's the world coming to? A targettier would still have the advantage over a dual-wielder since he can hide his line of attack by pushing his shield close to the opponent's face. Also, a shield can cover an entire attacking side if you take a stance that doesn't involve you facing your enemy directly like an idiot. Also, you wouldn't be half as fast as you'd think with two swords because you would lack the co-ordination, stamina and strength to keep up an attack for very long. Realistically, you'd only attack with one blade most of the time, anyway. Anyway, like Sligo said, there's a reason why blade/blade was rarely used on the battlefield. Old manuals and historians such as John Silver (no matter how much I dislike him) attest the true superiority of sword and target, two-handed swords and polearms.

Actually, the name means, in Latin, "machine-like". It's, well... something. Rest assured that at some point in its life, it was human.

Linky Er... yeah. Comments and constructive criticism are welcome. As is pie. Pie is good.

I prefer to call it "road vehicle of choice" rather than just plain "car".

Economic Left/Right: -4.13 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.15 Well, looks like the majority here are dirty leftist pigs. Go dirty leftist pigs! Fight the machine!

In a Gothic font: If you're a real Goth, Where were you when we sacked Rome?

They're selling for amounts such as 600K, and not all 600k owners have such knowledge of the RuneScape game. Well, then it's time for them to learn, isn't it? When you have money, you can't afford to "not know" about what you're spending it on. If you end up getting scammed, it's your own fault you were waving around more money than you knew the value of. Scammers are the RS economy's natural selection mechanism. People with half a sense of morality and ethics use the report abuse button to cull out people whom they see scamming. Nothing hard about that. There's also nothing stopping you from telling someone not to accept a deal because it's a scam.

I don't understand what the hell you are trying to say, and I have the sneaking suspicion that if I did, I would flame you.

Try getting that during a fencing match. That's twice the pain. Of course, it's more embarassing when it happens when I'm just sitting down... >.>

This is true. Just pretend they're males with bits missing and extra bits added on.

If I tried that on my girlfriend she would invent eight new types of pain just for me. Not all girls go for the sweet-talking crap. The ones that are worth the trouble, in my opinion, are the realists.

Thanks for the comments, guys. :) I haven't actually used Terragen for a while, and the first couple of renders I made in the day were disastrous. Not to mention that one of them made my computer crash because I tried to play Guild Wars at the same time. Anyway, I really like the improvements I'm making. I still have some of my older pieces, and, well... yeah. I should work on getting my version registered sometime in the next year to improve the quality further. As for the naked ladies, they're there! Just look closely, between the pixels!

I'd go with the second one here. If you gave the first one a more weathered look and made it look more like a statue, I'd go with that.

*Coughs* http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/36298223/ Comments and constructive criticism appreciated. Leave 'em here or on my DA page, but for the love of god, don't feed the doom apes. Serious about them doom apes.

If you enjoyed that trash you'd adore work by Roger Hargreaves. I endorse this statement.

Stick a knife in their eyes. If it doesn't fix one problem, it'll fix another. Seriously, all the guys you meet are jerks. Yes, that was a blanket statement and is quite likely an unfair generalisation, but hey, that's what you get when I've got that much detail to work with.
