Now I have a machine gun. Ho Ho Ho.You know what I've always felt Christmas eve lacks?
Paranoia and a sense of impending doom.
The "party game" I just picked up should do the trick.
Each player gets a Nerf gun, the name of a target and the location in the house where they have to shoot them at some point over the course of the evening.
Nothing says "Christmas" like an assassination contract.
.....yes. I have been playing Hitman too long.

Teenage Alien Ninja TurtlesI've just learned that filmmaker Michael Bay (aka - Uwe-Boll-With-A-Budget) has turned his withering gaze upon the Heroes in a Half-Shell, and has set about mutilating the franchise by informing us that their origin will change in his upcoming (oh god; if I have to refer to another film as this I may start weeping blood) reboot.
Y'know in the Disney animation Bolt where the idiot pigeons give a one-word pitch at how to "improve" the series that the titular doggie has absconded from? It's a dig at crappy writers that have no idea how to come up with an original idea and so just shoehorn in absurd new story elements to an existing tale.
Well; that's basically what Mr Bay has said:
"Aliens".
Nope. They're not mutants anymore. They're aliens.
After Transformers: This should be buried on the dark side of the Moon (or whatever it was called), I vowed never to piss away my money or, more importantly; my time, watching any future film Bay is connected with.
This news kinda reinfo

No Death Star for you.I didn't know this until now, but the White House is obliged to respond to to a petition with over 25,000 signatures. This meant they HAD to dignify the request of 30,000+ US citizens that the US construct a full sized, functional Death Star with an answer.
I'm not quite sure what percentage of those 30,000+ citizens realise that using a planet-destroying laser to take out people on the planet on which you live is an ever-so-slightly flawed agenda.....

You know what your D'n'D game needs? Penguins.A little something a talented cohort of mine has been working on: http://www.pureevilminiatures.com/realm-of-lorcraft.html
Ever since "Lorcraft" cropped up in Sequential Art, I've been working on an RPG system for an actual, pen-and-paper Lorcraft game and have a few really good ideas that should (in theory) work.
It's a ways off yet, though. It's the kind of thing that'll need some serious playtesting, and I have a zillion other projects to conclude first (LITTLEVICTORYLITTLEVICTORYLITTLEVICTORY!)

Andrew Marr's History of the WorldProbably the most engaging and interesting history series I've seen in a while, thanks in no small part to the titular Mr Marr's entertainingly sardonic narration.
I love having this kind of thing playing in the background while I do my work.
It's currently airing on the BBC, but it can be found on Youtube - for now. I'd catch it quick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQrKZiRhCOE
I have a sudden urge to play Civilization.

So THAT'S why we don't let them have guns?Following reports of a man walking around a Lancashire town with a sword, one Mr Colin Farmer was tasered into submission.
There WAS a drunk guy wandering around with a sword, but it wasn't Mr Colin Farmer.
Mr Colin Farmer was 61, blind and had been carrying a white stick.
*slow clap*
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-19979184
How much warning did they give this poor guy?! I usually stick up for the Police, because I know they have a tough job dealing with the unruly British public while bound down by seemingly infinite bureaucracy, but come on!
"A Lancashire Police spokesman said the incident was being investigated and the officer's Taser had been withdrawn"
Screw that! Take away his helmet. Make him wear one of those cheap plastic ones you give kids to dress-up in. Bloody amateur.
The whole thing makes me think of Ned and Jimbo from South Park shouting "BIRD!" and then opening fire without a second's hesitation.

Skyrim - First ImpressionsPicked up a cheapo copy of Skyrim today. First impressions: this game is so inside the box, it's inside a smaller box.
Tolkien was, undeniably, a genius, but, for the love of creativity and dynamism; read another f**king book, people.
There's a world of culture, history and myth out there to seek inspiration from! Fantasy should be an exciting, twisted reflection of the world around us, not an endless stream of pirated Lord of the Rings DVDs.

I'm changing my name.That's right. I'm changing my DA name.

That's right; i'm one of the few artists here on DA that seems content with my name. That; and I think changing a "brand" simply because you can, after you've spent time and energy building up an audience is f**king stupid.
I've been here for years. I've operated on the internet under "jollyjack" for longer. If I changed that now it would be monumentally confusing to people that follow my work, which, in turn, would have an effect on revenue.
There are a ton of artists here whose work I keenly follow, and I think they're kinda shooting themselves in the foot by doing this.
Kinda reminds be of those little label-making things everyone's been given on at least one Christmas as a kid: you unwrap it, you find out what it does and you spend the rest of the day punching out new tags for everything. Even if they'

Modern games are crap.They're beautiful things. Crafted by numerous artists and fanatical designers, they present glorious and wonderful worlds for us to explore.
I sink hours of my time into them, so I can say with a degree of authority: modern games are complete and utter manure.
Why?
Because they're never finished.
In the race to get them out the door, and thanks in total to broadband connections, they are buggy and full of holes.
You never get a complete game for the huge sum of money you're expected to pay for them.
Case in point: Borderlands 2.
I've just encountered a bug that renders a mission impossible to complete (The "Get to know Jack" mission), meaning I won't be able to fully complete the game…..not that I could anyway, because the game I own isn't actually finished.
When was the last time any of us bought a title that didn't contain huge chunks missing, held back for the sake of DLC?
Well, I didn't buy any for Borderlands (so I've no idea who the f**k Moxxi is or why I should give

Ahhh, language.

I Don't ExistNo, really. Apparently I don't. XD
Okay, so...here's an interesting development. I got a call-back earlier this month from Kroger, a grocery store about 4 minutes from my house. They wanted to hire me as a part-time bag boy. Which....is a bit degrading, but hey, I'll take what I can get at this point. So I went in, had my interview, everything was aces. Filled out the forms for a background check, did the drug test, and waited.
...and waited...
...and waited...
...right. I called up there. They got the drug test back, and everything was good with it. Buuuut nothing on my background check. So, I go online to check my credit report. Apparently, mine and my father's were crossed over. I guess cause we have the same name? But that makes no sense, since our SS numbers are completely different. So, me and my mother, who knows more about this legal mumbo-jumbo than I do, decide to head out and find the answers.
AND SO THEIR QUEST BEGAN!!
First stop: the US Social Security office. Get there, g

The End of the Twinkie?http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2012/11/16/hostess-twinkies-ding-dongs-wonder-bread-going-out-of-business/1708409/
World War 3 may just be months away, with much of the middle east currently being blown apart by missiles and the locals setting their neighbours on fire, but the real news is that the Twinkie, the USA's primary contribution to world cuisine, could cease to be.
"You eat those?" I hear people ask. Hell no. Never eaten one in my life. There's something about their unnatural, chemical-yellow colour and that they have a half-life rather than a use-by date that just sets off one too many alarm-bells.
In fact, I'm pretty sure that if you read the print on the pack, you'll find asbestos to be a key ingredient.
Even John McClane can't keep one down, and he took out a building full of terrorists with nothing but his bare feet and a Santa hat.
Which leads to my point: Without the Twinkie, there are SO many lines from SO many classic movies that future generations just a

I have a month...Alrighty, I have until October 9th to get everything completed from this new set of Warhammer 40k, the starter set Dark Vengeance (limited edition). I'll keep my running total like last time, and we'll see if I go even more insane since there is less time to finish more figures. I'm supposed to keep Tally up to date if I can't get this done, but I have been increasing my painting speed while keeping my quality, so here is hoping I can do it?
Sadder news my grandmother passed away just this past Monday, so all my sisters are coming into town, which might make painting a little harder, but I am up for the task! It's something to keep my mind busy and so I don't fully just break down into tears, progress, I've only teared up once uncontrollably. It's hard since she was always there, and it might take a really long time to heal but as long as I'm functional.
Back to the issue at hand, my painting scheme. The Dark Angels are getting painted up like the creepy dolls aka Harry aka Creep Marin

This is a test!I've plans in mind to build either a little RPG (not the Fallout fan-game I mentioned a while back. Something different. An IP I actually OWN) or a Graphic Adventure at some point, but there's no point in me starting anything like that unless I can ensure one simple thing; that the player can save their progress!
With the software I use (MultiMedia Fusion 2) I know it's possible, but I just need to make sure I'm setting the functions up correctly.
Best way to do that?
TEST!
Below is a link to a little score attack game. In theory, your high score should be recorded.
What I need any willing bodies to do is simply extract the .exe (just drag it onto your desktop) and play the game. When you die, press the space button to return to the title screen. If the high score listed is correct; I'm a genius and the thing has worked.
Additionally, if you could close and reopen the game at that point; if the number remains correct, I'm still a genius and the thing has worked......because I am a geni

US Government denies existance of Mermaids

>>>>[link]

Really? I mean; really?
The US National Ocean Service had to make a statement that Mermaids do not in fact exist, after they were bombarded by enquiries regarding them in the wake of a programme aired by the Discovery Channel.
"Mermaids: The Body Found" was a work of fiction but was mistaken by a number of people to be a documentary.

I'm guessing they're the same people for whom warnings are printed on Harry Potter broomsticks, reading "Caution: Does not actually fly".......

~Randimaxis Apr 10, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

And who says they're NOT real?

*chuckle*

I'm not actually one of THOSE people, but who on this WHOLE planet knows the ABSOLUTE truth? There may, indeed, be mermaids... and bigfeet and Loch Ness monsters...

They're all just smart enough not to post on Facebook.

~metagross111 Aug 12, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

people just want to believe mermaids are real

~wormsdiet Aug 6, 2012

Ha! some people will believe just about anything, especially whatever the government says. because that has to be true right?

~BRETTX Jul 9, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Its just like when the animal planet channel published that documentary on dragons several years ago so many people thought it was real so they re aired it withga statement in the front stating it was a work of fiction

~weasselK Jul 9, 2012

hmmm…I thought that documentary was just a fiction staff…just like "Alien Planet" or "Dragons a Fantasy made Real" [link]

~On2XSecretProbation Jul 8, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

I smell a cover up! Every one knows the best cover ups involve the National Oceanic Service. No one expects the National Oceanic Service!

~Chaoskor666 Jul 8, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

I watched that program and to be fair they did have a compelling plot. And it doesn't tell you until the end that it's fiction.

Granted the CG and acting in the "Real World Footage" was horrendous, but still.

*Porcelain-Joe Jul 8, 2012 Student Digital Artist

Believe me...I'm embarrassed to be an American sometimes (border-lining on all the time). You see warnings and such on just about everything here and you always know that the reason that warning is on whatever product you're looking at, it's because SOMEONE did what it's warning you not to do...

Americans are not very bright...I'll be the first to shoot down my own countryman on that mark...

~HolyLeader Jul 15, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

That is the case for some of the warnings, cuz a lot of people lack common sense here in the states. But the real reason the warnings are there is to avoid lawsuits, best example would the hot coffee incident with McDonalds, no warning sign on the cup saying it was hot at the time, now every cup of hot coffee has a warning label. We are a very sue happy nation when you think of it.

*Porcelain-Joe Jul 15, 2012 Student Digital Artist

I'm going to avoid ranting on this subject because BELIEVE ME, you can get me to bitch long and hard about our sue happy nation.

It just blows my mind that common sense is in so short supply. Although sometimes I wonder if people just purposefully ignore it in the hopes of benefiting from the consequences.

Uggh! Me Mongo! ME WANT COFFEE!! Me sip coffee...ow coffee hot! Coffee bad! Mongo wonder why warning no on hot coffee cup!
