Still using the original hotmail account I've had since I first got online in the early '90's... I still have and regularly use my Campbell's Soup mug and the matched metal spoon with the red plastic handles... My mom bought them for my brother and I when they came out in 1998, and to this...

"This thread has been locked because: "Just... No." "...Seriously?" "Oh hell no..." "Siri, how do I find a hitman on the Dark Web?"

Not real big on Anime - some of the basic tropes of the genre and the aesthetics of the art style just rub me the wrong way... Which is kind of sad because I've read about some that I really might have enjoyed the premise of if they'd just had much less of the things that irked me.

Back in the day, the party was supposed to find a Staff (Staff of the Magi w/ some extra bells and whistles) and a Stone to perform a Ritual to summon the Big Bad. Being a D&D party, of course we completely skipped the section of the quest where we would have gotten the Stone that would have...

And the joke is sooo obvious the filmmakers are going to be legally required to put a rim shot in the soundtrack... :rolleyes:

One of my feet turns out slightly farther than the other, and it has always given me problems with randomly losing my balance/kicking things/twisting my ankle/etc... I randomly fall on my arse at least three times a year. I long ago taught myself to instantly react to any chance I may be...

On an unrelated topic... The damn snowplow killed my mailbox during the storm last night...grrr I briefly considered putting a post about it in the RIP thread, but that would probably be in poor taste, right?...

For those who don't know, the Stormwind Fallacy is named after a guy posting on the old WotC forums as Tempest Stormwind (irl one of the people behind Dreamscarred Press)... He was one of the main people posting in the Optimization forums and writing a lot of the more popular "class guides"...

I personally like Reaper's Liner colors for things like that - they have a flow improver mixed in already, so they work well for shading and darklining...

Well, the first one, at least, is very specific to rpgs and D&D forums in particular. It's named after a very well-respected member of the old official D&D forums. So, what was the issue?

Yeah... I was this grumpy and crotchety before I was your age, son.

Photographing miniatures is tough - the lighting that makes photographs look better tends to wash out painted-on highlights and shadows... Yet another reason to always push your contrast as far as you can.

I own Battle Beyond the Stars and Spacehunter on dvd... Re: Ocean State Job Lot... Your local one must be better than ours - in my entire life I think I've only ever bought five actually useful things there.

Update: Idiot Coworker Jim went home last night two hours into the shift complaining of feeling light-headed and dizzy. I'm now concerned that I may accidentally asplode his head some day... :unsure:
