Decided to actually complete a drawing after a 3 year gap of not doing so.

So I drew Elizébet, Ruler of Blood, Queen of the Greater Fiends.

Why thank you :o

 

I'm using Ninja Gaiden as my foundation for teaching myself how to draw. I eventually want it to look professional. I have a ways to go, but I'll get there. :)

This is practically what I'm doing, except I'm using the Tavern and my imagination.

 

Oh, had Physics today. Expect to soon see pictures of:

  • Earth's standoff with the fire and lightning mages
  • Peter pwning that air mage
  • The robot I intend for Mars to use in Space Mk II
  • A zombie fish

And possibly much, much more as I clean through my drawing piles and scan stuff in!

Finally my computer is back to running at less than half processor load. I was getting really annoyed of being forced to run it in either in IObit's boost mode or at 100% load.

 

EDIT: Jackpot! I just caught a bunch of badgers in what was supposed to be my dining hall!

It's quite fun, at least after you get past some of the exercises that you do to get in shape (ie wall sits for intervals of 5-10 minutes and hitting the gym for squats). At least for the foil (and modern fencing) it's almost all muscle memory (or insanely quick reflexes, but I find muscle memory to be better [mainly because it works well with better reflexes]) and quick wrist movement. If you want to pick it up, I'd advise to look into possible classes at the community or fencing clubs that are looking for new recruits. It's a great way to get into better shape (and you get to hit people. with swords.) and is in general very very fun.

 

EDIT: Oh, and the rapier I've ordered is on the way. Should be interesting (I think there are some people nearby who would be willing to teach me the renaissance style fencing techniques).

 

Oh and god damned Californian laws that forbid me from buying a butterfly knife (fairly understandable) and a sword cane.

 

(I have been able to sell a surprising number of bicycles on craigslist so I have a bit of cash to use, and I've already bought all of the rpg books that I am using).

Selling bicycles? Hrm... :-k

 

You could always join your local SCA, Grim! It's either The West Kingdom or Caid, Probably. Finding your local SCA

 

My branch has Practical Fencing, Show Fencing, Throwing Weapons and Heavy Fighting. Everything from daggers to claymores. One of the fencing sabre-thingies is more like a longsword, and could probably slice you in half if it was sharp. :-#

 

Also, my once-crush friend seems to be getting into more arguments at the lunchtable than before. I'm starting to wonder if giving her knives was a bad idea in even more ways. Not that I think she'd actually flip out that much, of course. Probably. :unsure:

Meh. I tried joining that, but.. I lost interest. I have more attention for reading, and for trying to draw with my Drawing Tablet, than trying to use blunted knives in combat. OR.. Whatever, I can't say what the classes do. Eh..

It would appear that I have the Shire of Windy Meads in my area. I'll have to check it out (it should be fun). Also, depending on how it was used the rapier could be very, very deadly, because good luck blocking a lunge after a couple of stabs to the face and the hands.

Cavalry sabres might be the closest thing in warfare? I don't know, seems closest.

Well...yes...[cabbage]. At any if you see where I live (in an upper class college town) I'd say it fits the town rather well. And it lets me impersonate one of the three musketeers.

Do we like this style of map in hegemony games?

 

The plan for this is that before a conflict both sides will be given a map (different styles depending on there technology levels) and then they command there military give the topography of the map.

Sneaky theft of a pen by the president of the Czech republic. Too bad he was on camera.

The only difference between a disagreement between friends, an argument between strangers, and a feud between enemies is the ability to reconcile.
