1: Jason Derulo. That man needs to be shot, not just because it would help his rap career, but hopefully to make him stop killing good songs. "Watcha Say" is just a crap version of a long-time favorite song of mine, "Hide and Seek" by Imogem Heap. Look it up.

2: I beat Red Faction: Guarella long time ago, it was'nt even out at the time of my last journal. Game's awsome, nothing relieves stress like driving a japanese ambulance through a government building on Mars.

3: . I've been playing a bigger part in this than anyone origionally expected, hopefully my works reflect it. Took a bit of a hiatus to play L4D2 though.

4: L4D2. Game's awsome, everything everyone says is a lie (except the friendly AI. It's really that bad.) I just finished game #15 of Scavange mode, and I'm happy to say I finally won a game. Bo-yah. That is all.

5: I dont know if any of you noticed, but DA seems to be feeling post-appolapsey, and is holding a contest. (PS I deleted that message so can someone link me back to it? Im easily lost.) So, I've had an idea in my head for a while and I'm finally going to put it to "paper".

6: My computer took a break. Literally, no boot, no nothing. Luckily, I'm insanely paranoid, and all my files (arts too) were preserved perfectly. But, this computer's five years old, it can't boot with the DVD plugged in anymore, and my mouse that came with it just died, so I'm putting more thought then ever into upgrading. My new mouse also only mouse-wheel-scrolls down. It's annoying.

7: I think that's it.

8: I lied, actually. I'm thinking of doing another round of Brainhunter, but I'm not going to unless I can get word from a few people that they're definitely going to try. I still havent gotten 's reward from the first time, partly due to her lack of input (NAG NAG POKE POKE I KNOW YOU READ THIS.)

9: That's actually it. Seriously.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:

I found the link the the contst, so dont post it. Also...


I got tagged by ... Don't usually listen to these but for some reason I am this time. Only gonna break half the rules even.

1 ╏ You have to post 10 things about yourself in your Journal

2 ╏ Afterwards, you gotta tag 8 different people,and post those people's icons in your Journal.

3 ╏ Afterwards, just go to those 8 people's pages,and tell them they've been tagged!

4 ╏ IMPORTANT: NO TAG BACKS! AND THAT MEANS:You can't tag the person who had tagged you.



1. I use the name "Rettro" everywhere, because people called me retro when I was little and I can't spell worth a damn.
2. I'm an avid Red vs Blue fan. (FEAR MY LASER FACE!)
3. I am a bit of a crafter, sometimes I sew or weave for fun. (very masculine, I know)
4. I think that most of the people you meet anew any given day hate you. (I'm not emo)
5. I hate most of the people I meet anew on any given day. (goes both ways, ya know?)
6. I'm currently studying Architecture at a county college under a full tuition scholarship.
7. I haven't done any xmas shopping yet (14th dec)
8. I'm running out of crap to tell you people.
9. Calculus is boring... Probably because I'm real good at maths.
0. 2 + 2 = 10. In base four I'm fine.

People I Tag:
Nobody. Take that Rules 2&3!

32/125 done, 25.6%.

Also, if you can tell me what's "wrong" with that, you get an immagionary cookie.



EDIT: 5,000 views? 5,050 views? What did I do? Oh yeah, Im awsome. Like my dad says: "Conceited? I'm not conceited, because if I was conceited I'd have a flaw and I don't have any flaws. I'm perfect."

I know I am very happy with it, but it hadn't occured to me that someone outside of my usual watchers would even take notice. So, from this point forward (and when the terms suit me ) you can expect me to be participating in HUGO contests, if for nothing else than somthing awsome to do.


EDIT: HELP TEACH ME HOW TO TURN OFF SMILEYIES!:
GO VOTE:
[link]ageNumber=1&roundNumber=10&searchName=

Someone tell me how to turn smileys off... Or else you can go here: [link] and search "Klein". Im the first one, the other ones not me. If you've seen the deviation, there's no question.

Im thinking for another idea, I got like a month, but my brain is DRY.

On other news, the thing im working on is almost done (ill link here when its up so if your reading this later itll make sence) and I have no ideas. So, I want to check and see if anyone around here needs an icon? I dono if you noticed, but im very happy with my homemade one for me - and willing to share my "talents"? with the masses.

So, I'll take the first three people to request an icon from me. I dont want to do a big list, because im slow.

1: DemonicDJkitty
2: Nope
3: Nope

Edit: Its been a month, so DemonicDJKitty is the only one who's gonna get an icons from me. Eventually. Honestly im working on like 5 things and three of them are GOING to fail. Trust me.

DEMONIC DJ KITTY!!!!


Really guys, she's the only one to solve a puzzle. Sad to your intelect. I don't know if you realize her reputation, but I'm really not looking forward to what she wants me to add to my "secret" project o,0

[link] - the answers
[link] - fake link

You are now free to comment about the answers, and your thought process in finding or not finding them.

PUZZLE 1 IS UP: [link]
Solvers: KAD (no DA account); !!! Congratz Guys!!!

PUZZLE 2 IS UP: [link]
No solvers

PUZZLE 3 IS UP: [link]
No solvers


You now have two weeks (21st) to solve all the puzzles, or untill three people do so. Chances are, you have two weeks. I may extend it, but DONT COUNT ON IT.
--------------------------------

Come one, come all. I come before you to stand behind you and tell you of somthing I know nothing about. Next Saturday the 25th I will endevour to post a riddle. Such a riddle will be the first of three, which will reveal a seceret message to you, the humble riddler.

WHAT:
You will be presented with three riddles in the form of deviations. Endevour to solve them.

RULES:
- DO NOT post hints or solutions as comments on the deviation. If you do, they will be hidden, and you warned. I run a three-strike system, so if you post three you will no longer be eligible to win.
- If you have the solution, NOTE me the answer. BE SURE OF YOUR ANSWERS, because I will only accept three guesses from any one user. (Once you get the real answer, you will know it for sure)
- Winners will be decide first by who answers all three, than by who answers first. If noone answers all three, than the prize is reduced, but there will be a winner as long as someone solves one.

PRIZE FOR TOTAL WIN:
The prize is yet to be solidified, but I can assure you this:
- Mention of the first three (if that many) to solve it in the congratz journal
- A reference in my big project, which I announced in May '08, and which may not be done till may '99. (Its hard to wait, but im trying to ballance my laziness, Dokuro, and building drama).

I'm reposting what ~BoggeyDan, ~SergeantChrisHayward and many other good people have reposted already, since this is a subject of utmost importance for all of us here on dA.

Here's the post, as originally found on *RAVE-GRL's journal:


-----------------------
"No offense, but ... People are getting too fake on me . They only want posts, comments, or to see how many friends they can get. So let's see who will actually re-post this. This is a test to see who's paying attention. This is a test to see how many people in my friends list actually pay attention to me. Copy and re-post in your own bulletin. Lets see who the true friends are and I think I know who you are... Re-post this if you are a friend...Don't reply... just copy and paste this in a new bulletin as "Fake Friends'

True friends will read and re-post this. Fake friends will just ignore it." -Rave-Grl.
-----------------------

Rettro-

I'm not asking anyone to repost this if you don't want to, but please acknolege it. Man my spelling is off today... Just sound it out. Either way, most of the people I know here on DA are friends in real life, so i'm expecting this to be little if any issue.

If you wish to post this in your journal, it's been requested that you title it I'm afraid of __ out of 75 common fears.

If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling.
If you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal.
If you get 10 or less, you're fearless.
People who don’t have any are liars

A few of you will be contacted privately for me to ask for opinions at random points. I really don't care if you tell people I asked you or not, but as for whos opinions I choose to value, that is entirely my own choice

I seriously can't put a deadline on this project. I know I work on it in school when I got nothing else to do, but school is ending soon, and i've already been working on it for a good while to little progress. I can say without doubt, that for someone to fully understand the finished project, they will have to sit and stare for a good long while.

I reallly haven't done much at all, I dono why i'm going up like this. I mean, hell, my "thanks for 1k pageviews" was only 6 deviations ago! What would happen if I actually DID somthing....

Idea forming...
Plot devising...
Materials gathering...
Alebai devising...

Ah, crap. I lost it after trying to spell alabai. There's no way either of those is right. You know, alabai, like an excuse. ANYWAY---

If yall get a screenshot of my 2k mark, please note me! I don't think i'll catch this one, and have NOTHING planned, so maybe i'll just hold on to 'em...

That's right folks, A4-productions has it's own DA Page! Is under the control of me, Mage-Sensei, and (awaiting his making a DA page). Be sure to watch it if you like the Dokuro! You can expect to see any works done by any of the members there as well as on thier personal pages, including movies, pictures, and anything else we manage to create through the presdidigitation of the Titindenburg principle.

Here is one from Linkin Park's "Forgotten" that I've been wanting to do a movie about. Note: The song will only appear in the credits of the movie, as with any lyrics I stea... borrow from you.

There's a place so dark you can't see the end
(Skies cock back) and shock that which can't defend
The rain then sends dripping acidic questions
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut looking thought the rust and rot and dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
The eyes ease open and its dark again

SNIPER RIFLE
1) Reload at any quiet, don’t worry about getting ammo, you’ll die soon.
2) The sniper rifle can set off bombs from far off, so if no friendlies are close…
3) If you have a choice, kill the medics, than the snipers, than everyone else.
4) Enemies will hide behind explosive barrels. It’s not a headshot, but it can kill dozens.
5) Place an APM and lay on it when sniping. Tag collectors won’t see it. (You’ll die too)
6) Don’t always take the best sniper spots. People know where they are and will spot you faster.

LAMBERT
1) Stay low, people plan to shoot at eye level
2) Reload at any quiet, don’t worry about getting ammo, you’ll die soon.
3) Treat every corner as one filled with targets
4) Take cover... but know when to run like hell.
5) When Lambert-ing at long range, switch to one shot and use it like a sniper.
6) Enemies will hide behind explosive barrels. It’s not a headshot, but it can kill dozens.

REMOTE DETONATION EXPLOSIVE (RDX)
1) Don’t waste APM’s if you’ll be looking at where they are. Place a single RDX.
2) RDX can be used to take out enemy RDX and APMs as well as other bombs.
3) Don’t be afraid to kill yourself to take out a bigger target.

ANTI PERSONEL MINE (APM)
1) APM everything, even if you think you have cleared the area.
2) Don’t waste APMs if you’ll be looking at where they are. Place a single RDX.
3) If you find an enemy right in front of you when your APMs are out, drop one.
4) Place an APM and lay on it when sniping. Tag collectors won’t see it. (You’ll die too)
5) Place APMs behind cover facing sideways, people who run by will have no idea they’re there.

STEALTH
1) If you get hit with an EMP, don’t stealth. You will glow blue, and be a bigger target.
2) Even though the stealth gives off a tell-tale wine, you can use it to sneak up behind enemies in places they think are secure and stab them.

GRENADES
1) Grenades are your friends, but they don't like you.
2) Grenades can bounce around corners, but sometimes it’s better to put it on the corner and let the explosion reach your foes.

BASE CAPTURE
1) When taking a base, keep cover till neutral, than look for enemies.
2) The game is more important than you, stay behind and cover the base capturers.
3) Most people are better prepared to take out a car than a person, so get armor or get out.
