It's too beige for those descriptions, and my avatar is a bit off due to part of the original picture being flooded with sunlight... Also the color sensitivity of my webcam may be set a bit high due to how fancy it looks with my blue irises dominating the picture. Nex, too orange for your description.

Oh master of literary prose, teach me your ways. How else would you describe this color?

The Back Room
Actually it wouldn't, the sprite shows nothing more than my hair and apparel. It shows nothing of my height and build and there's simply no room for facial details. Also there's the skin which is a slightly beige shade of white, even though my skin is browner than my walls (or at least I think so, it's hard to compare a tan to diarrhea colored paint).

Sadly my talent for digital drawing stops at spriting and pixel art, at which point it goes from bad to the skill of a five year old. That's not good overlapping btw, it's just using layers. I'd have more luck doing it in SketchUp... that might actually work...

Do not look too hard for I may steal your soul! I think I'll be facing the camera for now... I also understand why Hussie has drawn all male characters with eyewear or a permanent expression.

I don't want to kill people, I want to kill something dangerous... Suddenly the prospect of hunting bears with a mace is ridiculously tempting. EDIT: I also want to make a SBURB fanadventure with myself as a character...If only I could do other characters as well... If anyone wants to join in I might just kick it off... if my art doesn't suck as much as I predict it will. I'll try to make something to test after I've showered, I won't upload it if it sucks completely though. Also I'll only draw in spritemode until I bother buying a tablet, if I bother at all.

I'm not crying about it. As per usual this is just the result of me defending myself from the accusations that came as a response to me informing you of my genocidal urge.

I've already got more friends than I can count, I'm not that kind of lonely.

Nex, you have no idea whatsoever how hard I'm trying to get a girlfriend. And I have a lot of girl friends, but that doesn't really help. Also talking more during group projects won't help me because I already do and because my class is 100% guys. Thanks for speaking up Sere, but at the moment I'm actually not that depressed, I just feel particularly violent.

For your information I used to get into a lot of fights due to how easy I was to insult. It should also be noted that I never lost any of them and that it usually ended up with me being dragged away by a group of people before I hurt someone. On an unrelated note I think I've finally snapped, something is urging me to go on a genocidal rampage against something somewhat dangerous with a bludgeoning tool... I blame loneliness and reading too many Homestuck fanadventures.

That's why I specified the position and preassure on the fingers, I described how to twist their head back while still having a good hold for pulling them in.

You seem to forget one thing, I actually understand hand-to-hand combat because guess what? I'm a karate blue-belt. There's no human reflex that says to lift your knee if something is hurled towards your face, our reflex for that is to hide behind our arms. Also unless I'm standing less than half a meter away from the target with my legs spread, the knee wouldn't hit anything, and at that distance the move is impossible (because you can't pull them down) and an uppercut would be the obvious choice of attack. And no, those guys wouldn't beat anyone, they're pretending to know what they're doing, but their combat style is the one used for reverse David vs. Goliath scenes, you know where the small guy is jumping around, showing off before he's instantly and unceremoniously knocked out by a fist to the face.

Um... what? What does a bunch of flailing wannabe martial artists have to do with this?

Retech, you have to be prepared to offer enough resistance, and even then your back will arch considerably, tipping you the rest of the way forward, it's just that that's a bit hard to illustrate in Pivot. Iey, blocking comes before dodging as an instinct, and then the chance is lost. And the size of the knee is the reason why forcing the head to keep straight is necessary, with the chin out of the way there's room for the knee.

There is no way to get a poor hold of someone's head apart from grabbing them by the ears, nose or lips. The block would come as you're reaching out and it would do nothing because the most natural block for the head only covers the face, they won't realize you weren't striking until your hands are behind their head and then all you have to do is to lock them in place at the top back of their skull as you jerk them back and lift your knee, that doesn't take enough time for them to adjust their block or otherwise react. You see there? The blocker does not only take a mere 1/200th of a second to react, but also moves his arms considerably faster, yet do you see anything he could've done better without some magical precognition?

That's why it's at an advantage over most other moves involving grappling, it would only take 1-1.5 seconds to perform. Because you don't just reach out and pull once you've got a good hold, you shoot out your arms, grab hold and retract in one swift movement, which also means that for the majority of the time they have to react, their focus will instinctively be on dodging/getting free from your arms, not on countering.

You can still practice precision like you usually do in martial arts, by barely touching with the hit then use a dummy for training strength. Because it's not like knocking someone out or collapsing their lungs (standard chin/solar attacks) would be any more favorable either, even though it's slightly less dangerous.

I think I just invented the perfect hand-to-hand kill move: You grab the opponent by the head, thumbs pressing down and backwards against the top, ring and littlefinger pushing foward against the base of the skull. You then yank forward while forcing the head to stay straight and knee them in the throat, causing it to collapse, choking them. Essentially it's a more lethal version of kneeing someone in the face.

mine are a good 10-20 bellow yours each. Personally I find that hunting anything will 9/10 time never yield the drops I want, no matter how long I stay.

There's also possible to make money by mining and woodcutting, woodcutting is slow at best, but if you mine in the Mining outpost or Dondakan's mine, the banking help can make it worth it. The crafting skills are more risky, although byung arrow shafts and feathers and making headless arrows still makes a few gp profit each. Oh, and smelting cannonballs works.

Just go alch: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Grand_Exchange_Market_Watch/High_Alchemy If you turn on mousekeys you don't even have to pay attention to anything, just spam a button. It's also very great exp. My personal favorites are air and water battlestaves, buy them at 9k alch for a few hundred in profit, including the cost of a nature rune.

Powerlevel/cash, give out money making advice, get scammed for 4 mill due to a hole in the wiki, earn 0.5% on a high value investment, dominate hand cannon shot trade... Today has been... interesting...

That moment when I realize I only have four more spells to learn in the normal spellbook before I can learn Storm of Armadyl and I go full derp in confusion. :blink: I didn't realize my magic lvl was actually that high (68, 66 a few hours ago but I spent most of the day grinding High Level Alchemy with mousekeys while watching Pokémon).

That moment when Norway's got more than two parties, so there's actually possible to find one that you agree with and I know exactly who I'm going to vote for next election.
