Snakey!

So they found a snake in China that had a leg growing out of it. After seeing the picture, this was the first thing that came to mind >_<

Penguino oh-no

This is what happens when Wrath of the Lich King launches and everyone leaves me behind for Northrend. The fucking penguins take over the Isle of Quel Danas and i have to clean em up by myself. I hope those Shattered Sun bocis appreciate this =_=

Convulsion Enter! Special Style!

yarrr mateys, this post be long and has many a picture in it. if you have difficulty in reading pictures, consider yerself warned.

so, a couple of days ago i was wandering about the MHCC with some friends when i came across this box. what actually caught my eye, was what i thought was a dwarf from WoW ( you have to keep an aye on the kneebiters y'know). i was shocked, flabbergasted even, when i saw that the dwarf was wearing an eyepatch and a pirate hat.

what was this wonderful product? i wondered. has Blizzard made some new action figures with pirate dwarves? where was the horde set? i want my blood elf buccaneers! i quickly grabbed the box from the shelf and read the label.


that's right, Convulsions Enter, Special Style indeed. it might have been at that point when i realized that this maybe, just maybe, wasn't a licensed Warcraft product. in fact, this had nothing to do with warcraft at all, and someone had just photoshopped a pirate hat and eyepatch onna picture of a dwarf. i was saddened.

and then i read the back of the box.

the text is a bit blurry, but basically reads:
Convulsion enter, funny special style good luck. Completely new to come in to the market, collect of all kinds of pirates and vehicles to enjoy a wonderful pirates garden.

i don't know what a pirates garden would look like, but i bet it would be awesome.

the box also had an image of a lich from Warcraft 3 on it, and the Pirates of the Caribbean skull. Liches, to the extent of my knowledge of necromancy, are not nautical, and do not convulse in a special style.

i can't say i was tempted to buy it, but i do feel sorry for kids who get this stuff bought for them. you know, like when you get that spiderman action figure, where the designs and stuff are painted on funny, and fall apart after five minutes of play.

after scouring the internet (a grueling task) i managed to find the original image of the alledged pirate dwarf, and using my photoshop skills, arrange a comparison.
i don't know about you, but thats some photoshop skill right there. you know, pasting a pirate hat and eyepatch onto something isnt as easy as it may sound. to prove this, i decided to make a picture of a pirate kitten. it took me several hours of painstaking sketching, inking, re-inking, scanning and digital painting, to create this:

i can only imagine what the graphic artists at Pirates Legends went through.

Thanks to John for the use of his camera!

Still listening to Queen

so, how are you? good? take a seat, this may take some time.

so i got myself a new job. it's pretty awesome, i must say. they make me draw things and come up with ideas for commericials, which i get paid for, cool aye? so that's been taking up a lot of time lately, meeting new people and adjusting to a new environment. i think i've been doing alright, but we'll see if i make it, since i'm on a three month probation sort of thing. wish me luck!

also, my World of Wacraft account got hacked recently ,which was the absolute suck. it's kind of hard to explain how this felt to someone who doesn't play an online game. i will try though. pretend that you have a child. you have nurtured and taught this child everything you know, and together you have done wonderful things. now imagine that someone taking your kid away from you and doing things to it. horrible, horrible things.
thats what it was like.

the guys at Blizzard were pretty cool, and locked the account down sharpish.

so tomorrow i'll see if this hacker guy messed up my characters, and to what extent the damage is. basically whether or not i'll have to pay for some therapy.

tell the GM where the bad hacker touched you...

stuff like that, you know.

A couple of days ago, a friend of mine told me that this girl thinks i'm weird. i don't know, it kinda messed me up a bit. i don't intentionally do anything that might be percieved as weird, but i guess i can be pretty strange sometimes. but who wants to boring?

also, someone asked me why i don't have a girlfriend.

if i knew the answer to that one... i'd probably have a girlfriend wouldn't i?

I haven't had much luck in matters of the heart. Many weeks of my young life have been spent pining after one girl or another, who would end up breaking my little ol' heart. there are many examples, none of which i feel particularly comfortable talking about. except the one where that girl didn't talk to me for three months. That's the next blog post :)

so until then, may your blades never dull!
