I thought so to, but it turns out a computer with a broken motherboard still kind of works just not very well. Maybe if I ever get a smart phone it would be different, I know having internet at all times would pretty much be heaven. Yeah, they're like those choose your own adventure books but much more finicky. Fun, but you'd need a walkthrough for most of the older ones. A lot of them were released in the 70s so you can find them online really easy.
I don't read classics a ton, I'm a lab assistant which means I get to sit at a computer for hours on end, that's where I get a lot of my reading done. I think it depends on the classic, personally I could never get past the language in shakespeare or any of the old dramas. I did think A Farewell to Arms was pretty good though really depressing. What ones have you read?
It's definitely fun watching other people play. Any opinions on the new one coming out?
That's awesome, I've never met anyone from New Zealand. biggrin I'm from NY. Upstate, not the city.
Alright, but if you ever feel like getting some art just let me know. Like srsly, that was one of the best gifts ever and I can't say thank you enough.
A link to you ff.net account, if that's ok with you. c:
Good points. Now that I think about it, I see what you mean when you say what people think is scary is broad. Like a movie about spiders would only frighten certain people. I'd really love to see a movie that plays on the fear of heights or claustrophobia or something instead of hauntings or monsters.
Knowing you can write a novel if you need to has to help with confidence too.
Oh! I know that site, I've been there a few times. I can confirm all the categories are just euphenisms for smut.
I've seen some ok YA and some pretty awful YA. I generally avoid anything that has to do with a teenage girl in highschool.
You can find a decent number of online D&D groups around the internet, yeah. I've never tried any of them, I might this summer when I have more time. It's just a matter of finding a good group, I'd think.
It's cool you can borrow eachother's characters. I've never heard of that happening, excluding fanfics and so on.
Aaahhh, I see. It's not so bad after a while, you kind of start to understand how machines are put together. You get an idea of where the pistons need to go to get things to move right, how the panels need to attach to allow for freedom of movement, the different kinds of joints you can use for different places, and so on. A lot of it is just researching tons of machines.
Hopefully the book wasn't too long. The story I did turned out to be around 25 pages, and probably would have taken me a semester, maybe more, to illustrate the entire thing. Thankfully, the cover is the only thing I'm doing to completion. It's really neat to get some input from someone who isn't a gallery artist and knows a thing or two about how to get a job in the entertainment industry (not that there's anything wrong with gallery artists, I'd just rather draw dinosaurs and robots fighting eachother). The teacher is also a lot more in depth with things I did wrong or things I could have done better. He's also not a technophobe like the majority of the teachers I've had. And it's not a still life, which is fantastic.
