Peace out

Hey guys I think the time has come for me to bug out. Rather than just goin out without saying anything I thought id just drop a word and let you guys know that Im moving on to the forum on Justdubs.net. I know dubs arnt highly prized over here but I thought it would be worth mentioning to anyone still regularly visiting this site that the discussion their is pretty lively (though the young crowd is a bit bigger there) and if anyone wants to stay in contact thats where you can find me under the same name.

Anyway peace out guys and good luck.

Found my old pokemon cards

Yeah before anyone laughs keep in mind I was doing this between 10-13 like everyone else here in the states.

I was cleaning out my closet when I found my old pokemon collection. Im talking first generation cards (back when there were only 150 pokemon). I havent played the game in years, easily closing a decade. I remember first getting these cards, back then my dad was more mainstream christian (ie followed, didnt question) so shortly after getting the cards he found out about how the church didnt like them and wanted me to get rid of them. My mom though was more cool about it and let me keep the starter pack and collect other cards. Never played any tourny's (obviously) though I did play with my sister and friends (hey everyone did it). Eventually though like all fads, it faded as everyone grew out of it and moved on.

Anyway, the trip down memory lane aside, Im thinking of trying to sell these cards. I have a fair number of the rare cards and im wondering if anyone here has done something similar. What would I need to do? How much could I expect to get for these? Would I be better off holding onto them or has the boat sailed and anything I can get is just the left overs? Any info would be nice, thanks.

Post your desk

So tonight I rearanged my desk top to be more open and to give me more open desk space, which I found increasingly more difficult to not have, Im rather happy with how it turned out.

Originally I had used this as my gaming computer, but with the lack of good games and the prevalant amount of malware, I mean DRM, I decided to just go full console these days so now my computer is my work computer (photoshop, illistrator, etc). Having the G11 actually makes the keyboard shortcuts easier, less things to have to remember when I can just push a button instead of remembering the key combo.


So lets see everyone elses.

Punk Soldier

Topic changed to weekend submitions:



1 of 2 images submitted for Adv. Figure Drawing. The theme this week was "Intergalactic music wars" and I decided to go with a Punk vs Disco combo (the disco soldier is on the next page).

I wanted a soldier that looked futuristist yet old school at the same time. His outfit has modern or futuristic tones (such as his boots, coat, etc) yet it hints at the classic look.

His hands are robotic due to losing them to an enemy soldier weapon and his eye piece is a 3-d targeting device.

His weapon of choice is a combination of a guitar, an axe, and a caster from Outlaw star. A pretty nasty weapon as just an axe, but when he uses its firing ability he's able to blow away enemies.

2 of 2. Theme for this week was Intergalactic music wars so I decided to go Punk vs Disco. Echoing history, Disco didnt win the war.

A Character I played in MXO (the matrix online) that I created alot of potental that I may one day exploit.

Originally, this character was named Anubis (or Marrith, depending on what personality was in control at the time) and served under the Merovingian, though later he sorta became his own agent. He was fused with an AI program orginally as a measure of control but as time went on they developed a symbotic relationship.

For the story world I have been developing, this is Jacob, a Reaper. In my story, reapers are the anti undead, hunting vampires, werewolves, succubus and immortals. The undead are like everyday people, not emo or gothy or do anything or have anything on them that would reveal their true nature until its too late (for the victim).

Reapers were originally created by Death itself to deal with the undead (Death is like a cloud that envelopes the world, the undead produce some sort of energy field that repels death, allowing them to be immortal) and have certain characteristics. Their domoninante arms flesh becomes completely transparent, revealing the bone and if that limb touches (or in Jacobs prefrence, impales) an undead Death can breach the field and kill it. their eyes also lack Iris's, appearing as just white lobes. If their rage over takes them they transform into a more classical looking reaper and begin to give an AOE effect that chills the area around them and begins to kill the surrounding lesser lifeforms (plants, bugs, etc). Naturally reapers have to take precautions not to let their diffrences be viewed by the public.

Unlike the undead, which are immortal yet vulnerable, reapers are invulnerable but mortal. By this I mean you cant truely kill a reaper, but on the second of their 120th birthday (the date they were actually born, not turned) they turn to dust and die.

Reapers can be stopped if you manage to cause enough damage to them (such as removing a limb) and preventing the pieces from reconnecting to each other.

Jacob was originally turned in WW2 after his platoon was ambushed. Taken to a medical field hospital he was left on his cot waiting to die. A reaper came along and offered him the choice of either dieing there or becoming a reaper and help fight the undead. In 2010, Jacob is in his 80's but appears in his mid 20's.
