I'm horrible at drawing.  If I am trying to copy an exact picture, I can do okay (I've done the Mandelbrot Set and the Torturer like that).

[Kuildeous]

I am better at drawing than I thought. I guess I just need focus.

In high school, I drew crappy fantasy elements. I never focused on anything natural.

I took a design class (which was really drawing in disguise). I did pretty decently. I had to draw popcorn. That's a bitch to do. Mine was not spectacular, but I was amazed at how much my drawing of popcorn actually looked like popcorn.

Oh, you drew Mine?  But not Mint, I guess...

I wonder if it is in.. Mint condition?

But it sounds like a complicated (and boring) process of drawing, translating into a computer, drawing it again with the general lines, coloring, and shading. I'm always pushed to do color, but I work better with normal pencil by a very large margin.
It's frustrating to have someone forcing you to do something you're not good at, have no intention of doing, and don't want to do xD

I always liked drawing, but i'm horrible at drawing real people, or at least i don't like doing it. I'm more into a personal style, which is a mish-mash of Bande Dessinée, japanese Manga and German Expressionism. Now that i think about it, that sounds really weird... People tell me i'm good at drawing, though.

[Archetype]

I tend to think of myself as decent at drawing. I mostly just copy pictures and can rarely draw something purely from my imagination.

What exactly do you mean by BD ? (they are more than one style of BD that I would consider representative).

I suck at drawing. Big time. Not for the lack of trying.
I am  huge comic fan (in all shapes, sizes and geographical/cultural origin) so I am pretty good at criticizing or drooling over other people's drawings.

Edit: That being said, I think Brian Bolland is the best guy in the drawing business right now. Sad thing is that he draws very, very little
Though, my personal favorites are cartoony artists, i.e. Darwyn Cooke, Bruce Timm, TheMico, Boulet.

I'm good at engineering drawings!

[sudgy]

I did do a pretty good drawing at Christmas one time, for secret santas.  You know, putting the names into the hat...

We usually just write our names, but that sounds fun.

The classics, mostly. Especially Franquin, and also Peyo, Morris, Tabary... Not Herge, though.

[shraeye]

all my drawing is research related and involves just dots and lines.  Still I fret quite a bit over how best to arrange them.

[BoxOfDOG]

Sorry there! I was rather indisposed with different things.

Day 3!
~Video Games~

I'm sure this is a topic most of us can love and enjoy.
Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to play a single one today, with being so busy.

Ah well! Get chatting.

I picked up Arkham Asylum for $16. I figured it would be worth it from what I've heard. And I normally hate first-person shooters on the PS3, but Arkham* is different.

It's a little awkward in that I played Arkham City first, but it's still good. It's been long enough that I don't expect the new gadgets. It's not like I'd be going back to Grand Theft Auto III where you can't fire your gun at something in front of your car.

But for the past several months, the game I've been playing most is Marvel: Avengers Assemble on Facebook. A freakin' free game (though I did donate $20 to it, since I've made good use of it). And when I finish Arkham Asylum, I'll go back to MAA.

GTA V has had a great effect on my social life. I used to have a friend or friends over almost every night.. now I've had someone over literally every night.
This though:

[Awaclus]

I just finished playing Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs today, and man, it was awesome! Definitely worth the wait, and I'm also glad they didn't release it earlier because it might have been too much for me to handle at a younger age (on so many levels).

It's probably my favorite video game right now.

[shraeye]

I miss video games.  I miss my mom.



But seriously, I've had very little gaming time recently.  I'm in the middle of trying to beat Super Mario Galaxy (1! I know, really behind the times), and also play Civ 5 from time to time.  Mostly, though, I just do puzzles and whatnot online (nikoli!) or play quick games at Kongregate.

Oh hey, I'm currently playing through SMG! I mean it's not my first time, it's my 4th if the menus aren't lying about my file count, and each one was to 100%.

I play a lot of video games. Asides from You Have To Win The Game which I've talked about over in Random Stuff, I also play a lot of Fire Emblem. That's a good series, it's one that has a few links in to Dominion - it's a Strategy RPG which is turn based, and as you train your team up you can often start getting some ludicrously strong combos of things (like Dominion)

I've recently started optimizing and recording a Fire Emblem 6 0% growths run (for the third time).

You don't have to train your team at all to get some ludicrously strong combos

In video games news, Hiroshi Yamauchi passed away this week.  He was the president of Nintendo who led the business from traditional playing cards through a series of failed toys and then eventually to video games.  He retired in the earlier 2000s, after the launch of the GameCube.

Minecraft is my favorite game. If it isn't yours, you're either haven't played it or you're lying.

Haven't played it, and it doesn't interest me.
A huge grind to do something that should even be a "game", sigh.

I am currently playing mainly (only) Dota 2. I've been into Dota for quite some time (5.84b, onwards, with a little pause in late 6.xx) I've also beta-tested old Dota: Allstars and was very involved with community.
I played wide array of RPGs (Diablo II the most), RTSs (WC3 the most) P&C Adventures (Monkey Island, Phoenix Wright) and a lot of Worms, as well. Wasn't too much into FRS, though I did try myself in few (CS).

Currently,  the game that I am looking forward to is Scribblenauts Unmasked. I loved previous Scribblenaut games, they were so unique and awesome. The worst thing was that you couldn't summon Batman. As I am a huge DC fan, ability to summon anybody who ever wore the name "Starman" is... priceless. The database of characters is so huge, this is months of fun!

[SirPeebles]

Scribblenauts utterly blew my mind when I first played it.  But it got rather tedious once I'd figured out sufficiently powerful entities to summon.
