Congrats to WonderTheHedgehog,awesome score,and happy *belated* birthday nijsse!
Thank you TheRed! Hope you had fun. 32 rooms is a pretty nice score. =)
Congratulations on reaching 400k!! :D
Thanks! I sacrificed a bit too much sleep to get there last night, lol. How is your holiday by the way? I noticed that the time you are posting stuff lately don't really compute for someone from Kuwait with a full time job. =P
Congrats on 400k medal points, only 100k off from the big 500 =p.
Thanks! I'm still having lots of fun playing medal games, even without the competitive aspect. Hope you enjoy the benefits of your upgrade! =)
lol it's still summer holiday here in Kuwait :3
Usually in these days I sleep/wake up whenever I want. I don't follow any specific time :P
I was awake till 8 am yesterday watching an awesome anime.
I was planning on playing more medal games these days but I think I'll be watching more animes and maybe re-draw one/some of my original characters. Who knows..
Also, it seems like I'll be playing an mmo game next month. If that happens, I'll be less active around here :x
What awesome anime? What other anime? What's an/the mmo games you're playing next month? What are your characters, as I only know Krain? Where can I see them? Why would you be less active, even though a day has 24 hours? You can't just throw all this stuff at me without some explanation!
XD too many questions lol. I'll "try" to keep it short :P
This new awesome anime is "Shingeki no Kyojin" (Attack on Titan). Definitely one of the best animes I've seen in a while. Interesting story, amazing voice acting (Japanese voice acting of course), and the animation quality/art style is great.
As for the other animes, I have a huge list :x
I wanted to see many of them for a while, but I kinda ignored them for one reason or another, and the list got pretty big..
To mention some: One Outs - D.Gray-man - Toriko - Soul Eater - Fairy Tail
I'll be playing Final Fantasy XIV: ARR (Yea.. I'm a fan of Japanese games/animes :P). It's their second attempt at creating this game. It came out crappy 3 years ago but they re-built the game from scratch. I've been playing the beta version for the past few weeks, and I really like what I've seen.
It's coming out next month with open beta and 'early access' (for those who pre-ordered the game).
Knowing myself with MMOs, I can be pretty addicted. I'll play that game more than anything else, which means I won't be playing medal games like I used to.
But even when I'm very damn busy or playing an mmo, there are a few websites that I visit daily. I almost never miss a day without visiting these daily websites (I've been visiting these websites every day for years), and NG became one of them like 2 years ago. I don't think I missed a day without visiting NG o,o;
So, I'll still be around every day, but I may not be that active ._.
As for my other characters, I've never shared any of them publicly in the internet (other than Krain). Mainly because I'm not that good at drawing. It's just a hobby, and sometimes, I draw to pass the time (when I have nothing else to do).
So, most of these drawings are only scratches, and most of them are only faces without any other body parts (Oh and some of these faces are incomplete too ._.)
I thought that, one day I'll re-draw these characters, and give them names and characteristics, but I never get to do that. And I don't know if I'll ever get to do it.
When I drew Krain, I realized that it's not as easy as I thought. I have to learn how to draw body parts and I have to learn how to use PC/drawing programmes, which will take a very long time. I just feel sorry for not drawing body parts before. :/
For now, I decided to put these scratches/faces in one/few page(s) and share them her.
Thanks, that's more like it. =)
Interesting stuff. I'd like to learn a bit more about the Asian animation scene, but lots (most?) of it doesn't seem to be my cup of tea. However, there is some stuff out there I really love. Tekkonkinkreet is a great example of this.. Same thing with games. I know you read about me mentioning Okami being one of my favorite games ever, yet I get bored of Final Fantasy games in a matter of minutes. I know those games are very different, I would just like to figure why some of this stuff pretty much changes my life because of their awesomeness, yet most of it bores the hell out of me.
As for your drawings, I understand you like to keep stuff like that to yourself. Just asking, because as your probably figured out I'd like to know a little (tbh, a lot =P) more about people I like on them interwebs. =)
I know what you mean :P
I kinda know why many people hate Japanese stuff, especially animations. Maybe the most known reason is that Japanese people tend to over dramatize everything. Small, big or meaningless, it doesn't matter, you'll find some kind of drama over it.
Here is a good example: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQFRs9KhI14">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQFRs9KhI14</a>
Students racing for some limited creme caramel (pudding). This is not that different from their animations (except.. it's not animated lol.)
I haven't heard of Tekkonkinkreet before, I'll try to find it.
Also, I really suggest you watch Shingeki no Kyojin. It's one of a kind. Even if you don't like animes in general, you'll probably like this one.
As for their games, they also add drama in it somehow. But as you said, sometimes the game is VERY good, while at other times it's boring. 'Zelda Ocarina of Time' is one of the best games I played so far (I beat that game 4 times in different consoles o,o), while I couldn't play more than one hour in many Final Fantasy games.
About my drawings, it's not like I wanted to keep them for myself, I just didn't want to present them in a bad way (as scratches). I wanted to re-draw them, complete them and present them in a good way. I just didn't want people to hate my drawings because they are incomplete scratches (even though it's just a hobby and I'm not really an artist, but it'll still affect me).
But since I don't think I'll draw them anytime soon (I realized that after Krain), I thought about releasing these scratches as they are.
Right now, I don't really mind people hating my scratches. I just want to put them out there instead of keeping them hidden forever (aka killing them).
I already put few scratches together, but the way I put them together is pretty crappy lol
Well, they are scratches anyway, so who cares :P
No, for me it's definitely not the extra drama they like to add to their stuff. I kinda like it, and even though I don't have an obsession with Japan like some people seem to have, I'm probably going to check it out within the next few years. As a newbie on the subject, I'd say there are 2 main reasons I'm having trouble finding the stuff I like. Anime can sometimes be either way to peachy, like Sailor Moon, or it has too much (physical and/or psychological) violence. I'm looking for a great storyline and atmosphere. Action for the sake of action is only distracting to me so I don't get drawn into the movie. I guess the discussion is more about anime-style games/movies rather than Japanese stuff in general. Thanks for all the suggestions by the way!
Serial Experiments: Lain is another anime I really enjoyed. It was just the right amount of mindfuck to keep me interested. I will check out Shingeki no Kyojin because you suggested it, but based on google images (lol google images) I don't think it's really what I'm looking for. You can't judge a book based on it's (google image) cover, so who knows. =)
As for Zelda, I never really thought of it as a Japan thing. I've been playing those games since I was like 9 years old and it had an incredible impact on my life. Like you said, Ocarina of Time is one of the best games ever (even though I prefer Majora's Mask a little bit, God I love Clock Town!), but almost every LoZ out there is just incredible. Now that I think about it, a lot of games I grew up with were Japanese.
Your scratches (tihi) are quite enjoyable. I'll try to write a review if you like, but you pretty much reviewed yourself perfectly in these last 2 comments. It's always possible to beat a few dead horses by telling you these sketches aren't finished and they don't have bodies. I could also ask you how much time you've spent on the art eternally!
lol just realized I've been saying "scratches" instead of "sketches" :x
I see :O
I think what you're looking for is mostly in movies.
What about sport animes? I kinda like them :o
Oh Lain, one of the animes I wanted to watch but I forgot about it lol. Thanks for reminding me :P
lol google images had some spoilers o,o; I hope it didn't ruin anything for you.
I think I also grew up with Japanese games :3
Majora's mask is also one of the best games I played. I like the difficulty in that one over Ocarina.
About my scra....err sketches, you don't have to write a review about them. I mean they are just sketches.
But I think it's interesting to know which characters everyone prefers (I added numbers for that reason). Even though I hate some of these sketches, I added them because someone may think otherwise. That part was always interesting to me.
And, I really don't know how much time I spent on these sketches :x I don't think I can answer that question. Not to mention, I'm only posting few sketches, not all of them (I have a lot ._.).
I think I'll post (3?) more collections. They are taking too long though.. :|
You have an audio without a title o,0;?
Apparently titles that contain special characters don't have a title anymore. This happened with the last publishing update. Pretty sure it's on the staff's 'to do' list, right above, well, you know what. =P
The title was Finnish, by the way. I can't believe some of my music on here is almost 10 years old! It's also horrifyingly bad. With the current state of the audio portal I won't upload new stuff, but I still hope a decent flash artist contacts me for some custom made audio.
You like streams but you don't stream.. hmm o.0
Yes.
So, how's Final Fantasy XIV: ARR? =)
lol I guess you don't want to give a reason XD
FFXIV is not out yet. Open beta starts next Thursday, and early access starts on 24/8.
Ah, I thought you were just stating the facts. ;)
I'll stream if enough people are interested in watching it. You know me though, a stream of me playing a random game isn't gonna cut it. I thought of a nice little idea like 2 years ago. The plan was to create a new account and for one week try to earn as many medal points as possible while streaming the whole experience. 0 people cared about it, and since it involves a lot of sacrifices on my end (taking a week off work, preparing stuff, buying a mic, etc..), I never went for it.
Oh I remember that idea. It was right after DiMono gained 10k points that week?
Yea, probably it'll be a waste of time since you already played these games.
Out of curiosity, how much points do think is possible within one week nowadays?
I'm guessing around 30k+ with a good plan. :o
I don't think it's a waste of time at all, it seems like an awesome challenge. I haven't touched some of these games in over 3 years. As for the possibility of points in 1 weeks, that's a difficult question. The more I think about the it the more I feel like trying it, even if it's just for myself.

Congratulations WonderTheHedgehog!, I unfortunately I did suck at this game :(
