Cool Stuff I've found, A bit more randomized this time, to show that I'm not just a patron of the furry arts.

Cool Stuff I've found, (these are all in my favorites, but I can put thumbnails in my journal, and I want to make use of that.)

I like computer games, I don’t like them as much as drawing or reading and so I’ll usually only play them for fifteen minutes at a time. I also don’t like to spend money, so I play mostly freeware games. I figure I’ll post reviews of some of the better ones I find for other cheapskates with stuff to do.

Imagine a science fiction game where you are given a ridiculously fast starship and enough fuel to go significantly far and were told “Explore!” Such is the premise behind Noctis.

The first thing I noticed was that I couldn’t move. A quick look at the manual is probably prudent. You don’t control your “Stardrifter” you control it’s pilot, (technically also called a Stardrifter) and you move around your ship in roughly the same fashion as in a FPS game, pressing buttons on the HUD display to control the ship. When you’re ready to start exploring, you just pick a star, either by finding it out the window, or selecting it from a list, and you’re off.

Landing on planets is the funest part of the game, and exploring them can be very rewarding. While the explorable areas are relatively small, they can be covered with craters, hills, rivers, oceans, trees, and bushes and in some cases, life. You can take pictures with the camera in your helmet, and the manual insists that you can hunt, but I haven’t figured that out yet.

The graphics are old school, and have a hazy dream-like effect. Rather than trying to compensate for it’s graphical weaknesses, Noctis revels in it. It says, “So I’m not Half-Life 2, I have over seventy thousand stars. And you can go to them all without fear of getting graphically disembowelled. And to top it all off I’m under two megabytes. Life’s good.”

There’s no real gameplay to speak of in Noctis. You just kinda drift. The only thing that comes close to being like a game is your limited fuel. But that’s not that big of a deal, you use about one gram of lithium for every five jumps, and all it takes is sitting around a grey star for a minute and you’ve got like fifty. And even if you do manage to run out, you can always call another Stardrifter for help.

So, the controls are clunky, the graphics are low-polygon and pixelized and the gameplay is non-existent, what makes this a great game? The thrill of exploration. Did I mention that you get to name stars? And planets. And then (In the words of Ford Prefect, “This is the clever part”) you get to send these names to the creator, who then puts these names on the official map. For other Stardrifters to find. You can also add data to a sort of “Travellers guide”. So Noctis is multyplayer in it’s own hazy laid-back way.

It really is a great game, undefinable, strange, and you’ll wonder why you keep coming back to play it. And you will; there’s a lot of galaxy to explore. ]]> ~Starflier http://Starflier.deviantart.com/journal/5546695/ http://Starflier.deviantart.com/journal/5546695/ Fri, 03 Jun 2005 21:28:22 PDT

PLEASE STRICTLY REPLY TO:- tolawang_32@hotmail.com
FROM MR. TOLA WANG.
ACCOUNTS MANAGER,
STB NIG.PLC. LAGOS-NIGERIA.


ATTN:


I am an Accountant with (STANDARD TRUST BANK) STB Nig. Plc.
My name is MR.TOLA WANG. I am the Personal Account
Manager to one Engineer BRAINE MOOR a dual National of the
AMERICAN, and of a AUSTRALIAN origin, which he disclose to
me and his personal lawyer. He worked with the Ajeokuta
Steel Rolling Company in Nigeria.

My client and his wife were involved in an auto accident on
the 27st of May, 2003 and they both died after an
unsuccessful attempt by the medical doctors to rescue their lives.
Since then, I have made several inquiries to his embassy
to locate any of my client's extended relatives, but this
has proved unsuccessful. Then after these several
unsuccessful moves, I and his lawyer decided that we
should contact you as the deceased next of kin. The issue
is not whether you have the same last or surname or not,but
the emphasis is just to present you by me and his lawyer
as directed by a magistrate court here in Nigeria.

As his personal Account Manager,I and his lawyer have
made investigations and discovered that he did not state
any next of kin in all his documents with the bank.
I have contacted you to assist in being the beneficiary
as the next of kin to this sum of Fourteen Million Two
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars(US$14.2M)which he
deposited in a fixed deposit account in my Bank(STB NIG. PLC).

The fact is that the fiscal policy regulating banks in
Nigeria, does not permit a fixed deposit account whose
owner is dead to remain unclaimed for a period of two
years. This is the reason I have to contact you in ernest
before the Federal Government of Nigeria get this huge
sum of money confisticated as an unclaimed fund.
There will be a mutual agreement on how the percentage
sharing should be decided. But all these will happen
after you must have indicated your interest to assist us bysend the
following:-
(1) Your full name and address
(2) Your private phone and fax
(3) Your bank account. You may be required to open a fresh
bank account for the purpose of this transaction, if you do not intend
to use your already existing one.

I assure you that, as soon as you indicate your interest to
willingly assist us as the beneficiary, then I will go
ahead to detail you on the role you are required to play.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see
this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law. We also intend investing a huge
percentage of our share after sharing, into vaible business

opportunities in your country through your assistance.

If you are interested in this transaction, please, strictly
contact me on my alternative email
address(tolawang_32@hotmail.com),so
that I could give you more details on the workings of this
transaction.

Best Regards.
Mr. Tola wang

First of all, We're moving to the Sunshine Coast! Which is great news in some ways and in other ways really sucks, particularly the packing. Should be good though, I'm throwing away a lot of stuff (always a bonus) and it'll be cool starting over in a new place.


Seccond of all, and I've been putting this off for a while so I could gather my thoughts on the subject:

Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith - Starflier's quick blurb: Greivious was one cool villain, The opening scene was amazing, Yoda's always fun to watch Lightsaber dueling, I want one of those lizard things, What was up with that scene where Anakin found oud Padme was dead? I mean, I laughed at that, despite the fact that it was such a solomn scene. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!


Third of all:

Now I thought I had dealt with this a long time ago, but apearently I didn't. I am feeling some serious Commander Kitty withdrawal. I still check the website every day. (btw there was an update to the effect that Scotty's going to put the archives back up so I can read them for the third time.) I'm going to have to make some fan art or something pretty soon or I'll go nuts. ]]> ~Starflier http://Starflier.deviantart.com/journal/5472657/ http://Starflier.deviantart.com/journal/5472657/ Thu, 26 May 2005 21:44:05 PDT [link]

Written by: Michael Audish
Every era is defined by the civilization that left its mark on the world. It is difficult to learn anything of history without coming across the Egyptians, Romans, or Wal-Mart. Even in modern times, we still hearken back to these founders of antiquity, invoking their presence in art, literature, and low-budget UPN action series. As is true for us, it is true for the world of video games. And perhaps no other civilization has stood so strong or influenced so many as the Mushroom Kingdom.

The modern day Mushroom Kingdom is a powerhouse of both culture and wealth despite their longstanding state of war with the neighboring Koopa Kingdom. Thanks to its remarkable stores of natural resources, unshakable leadership, and steadfast army of two plumbers and a dinosaur, its dominance of the Nintendonic Realms is unrivaled even by Hyrule or Dreamland. But its history is a long tale of invasion and bloodshed. The Mushroom Kingdom did not find itself at the height of power so easily, and only in the last few decades has it been able to truly flourish under the watchful eye of its rotund Italian saviors.

Ancient Mushroom texts have been unable to establish an exact date of the founding of the Mushroom Kingdom due to their fragmentation. Much of the land’s archaic history was inscribed in the subterranean brick passages that were so terribly damaged in the First Koopa War. Supposedly, the ancient Mushroom people consisted of scattered nomadic tribes, making their homes wherever sustenance and coins could be found. Indeed, it is most likely that a number of separate tribes gathered to settle permanently in the seven Worlds of the Mushroom Kingdom because of the overwhelming quantity of naturally occurring gold coins.

It is essential to understanding the Mushroom people and their culture to understand the importance of gold coins. The coins found in the Mushroom Kingdom are more than a mere monetary source; they are a means of survival. Possessing an excess of 100 coins allows a person to cheat death, meaning that if food or shelter could not be found, coins could give the primitive Mushroomian a new lease on life. A rare variety of coin forms in midair and is essentially weightless, and the primitive peoples used these to forge ultra-light weapons, a practice that continues to this very day.

In seeking the life-giving gold coins, the Mushroom tribes came to the seven Worlds of the existing Mushroom Kingdom. Their forming of permanent settlements, such as those found in Worlds 2-1 and 3-7, was most likely influenced by the presence of strange and powerful plant life. Early records show that once discovered, Power Mushrooms and Fire Flowers became extremely important to daily life, and that a primitive religion began in reverence of the “?” boxes from which these plants were harvested.

The early Mushroom people were then, much as they are now, an agreeable, hyperactive and painfully adorable people. They were quick to organize into unified social groups, though development between the seven Worlds was uneven. Harsher areas, such as the icy, inhospitable World 6 and the confusing, pipe-ridden World 7 kept the early peoples from organizing effectively. Truly, any World rife with moving platforms, bottomless pits, and spikes made forming a coherent society extremely difficult. The most successful groups were those in the temperate World 1, who managed to pool their resources and found what we know today as the Mushroom Kingdom. While little is known of the early government and society, we know that the Mushroom people have always had an almost psychotic love of castles. In fact, a recent survey conducted by the Society for the Preservation of Life-Threatening Castles has found that there are, on average, approximately 2.4 times more castles than houses. Clearly, the founders of the Mushroom Kingdom possessed an advanced knowledge of architecture.

This covers the formation and early years of the Mushroom Kingdom. Next time we will go into the history of the Kingdom up to and into the First Koopa War, wherein the flourishing Mushroom settlements are overrun with malevolent turtles and salvation appears from Brooklyn, of all places. ]]> ~Starflier http://Starflier.deviantart.com/journal/5448507/ http://Starflier.deviantart.com/journal/5448507/ Tue, 24 May 2005 13:38:45 PDT
A lot of anthro artists have these complicated backstories for thier "fursonnas" I'm kinda making one up as I go along here, but it involves time travel and trancending into alternate universes and maybe even a case of a mind swap, (again, I'm making it up as I go along) so I can change it later to my convienience.

Anyhow, he was born on January 29, 1989 in an alternate universe, on a planet very similar to ours, (excepting the lack of humans) in the southwestern region of a country known as Northland. From the time he was very young he took an accute interest in time travel, cartooning and astronomy. As he grew these interests didn't change much, and so by the time he was twelve he had become fairly skilled at all of them, when he discovered an old abandoned Consolidated PBY Catilina in the hills by his house. The plane was adopted as his new laboratory/studio and whenever he had the materials and time he would work on the neglected aircraft. (which due to a similar lack of crativity in the naming department that I have, he dubbed the "Star Gull")

Then, in 2002 a temporal burst from one of his experiments launched him and the Star Gull 70 years into the past, 20,000 km to the south and 10,000 feet into the air. He managed to land it (rather poorly) into the port city of Cape Suzette. (actually into the city, he overshot the bay and took out most of the Abandoned Warehouse District) After repairing the Star Gull he took on an inconspicuous job as a cargo pilot until he could find a way back to his own time. During his stint as a cargo pilot, Ryan had some dangerous run-ins with a certain air pirate, and made friends with annother lion mechanic and a modestly insane inventor, all who's names have been ommited in order to prevent lawsuits.

It was during this time in his life that he became aware of a connection between himself and annother person, somewhere else. He decided not to persue it much though.

Once Starflier managed to complete his Trans-Dimentional Portal Generator, instead of returning to his own time, he began exploring other universes, each jump taking him further into the unknown... ]]> ~Starflier http://Starflier.deviantart.com/journal/5391698/ http://Starflier.deviantart.com/journal/5391698/ Wed, 18 May 2005 12:02:25 PDT [link]

What I was thinking was, what if every day for the next thirty days I do somethin' totally weird, just for the sake of it? Wouldn't that be cool? I could make up posters that say something like:

TAKE THE PHREAKOUT CHALLENGE

Here’s how it works:
Every Day for the next thirty days you must publicly do something creative, original, or just mind bogglingly bizarre.

What you choose to do is up to you, but it should be noted that I am not encouraging illegal behaviour. Do something like, go to school dressed in a Gumby costume, or get a weird hairstyle.

For best effect what you do shouldn’t be for profit, or have any purpose really, though if your wacky behaviours included cleaning up trash or feeding the hungry, that’s aloud too

The biggest thing is that you have fun. So get out there and be Outrageous!!!


What do you think, any of you guys in? I'll keep you posted, today I'm going to post incomprehencable messages all down our street.

Well, I decided that this was ridiculous and that I'd pull myself together.

Since then I've spent fifty-one hours straight awake, my kid brother's hermit crab went up to the big mango tree in the sky, and I had a wicked headache, and yet for some reason I feel happy beyond words.

I just hope this kind of mood swing won't happen again, otherwise I might need to recant every detrimental thing I've ever said about teenaged girls

Soooo, I'm still here. "Why are you still here?" you might ask.
Well, I'll tell you why I'm still here, you might ask.

I took a week to think and pray over wether or not I'd leave, and I guess you guys aren't getting rid of me that easy.

My website's taking me longer than expected. It has to be perfect y'know? That'll give me somewhere to put my freeware games, ect. and properly display my comics.

In the comming soon catigory I'm gonna try a bit of animation, I've got an idea of how to use brasier curves for that purpose. I also have been doing some CGI work that looks pretty cool.
I just watched Robots, (funny movie) so you can expect some kinda Bill Nye meets Rube Goldburg stuff.

Dr. Fennicopolis and MG Raccoon have both done some cool pics of my chars ( [link] and [link] respectively ) for Big E City. you'll probably want to check them out.

As always, I'm ready to do gift art slash trades slash collabs for slash with anyone, with the only limitations being that I don't do porno slash gore or anything really mystical or occult.

Anyhoo, I might be leaving DA. My reason for not joining VCL or other compairable galleries was mostly that I didn't want to be associated with a website that was so chock full of yiff "art" Now I'm here and though the concentration of porn on DA is close to nelligable, There's alot of ocult stuff, and that, to me, seems like kind of a step backwards. Don't go all freaky out on me over this, it's nothing definate yet.

Even if I decide against leaving, I might take a bit of a break to work on my personal website, those of you who've been there have probably noticed that it hasn't been decently updated since November, and the interface is left over from '03. I've been through a couple experimental interfaces, and I think I've found one that'll work. It's probably my best website so far.

Friends and/or artists I admire:

I met the doctor on the Commander Kitty forum. He's kinda the reason I wound up on DA. (I had to join in order to comment on his journal) He's a fairly decent guy considering he's pure evil.


One might wonder why I like her art so much considering I'm not really into either Gryphiths (IF that's how it's spelled) or "The Lion King". I just do. I love her characters, esp. Doom-Yote. I'll get used to the Bird-things one of these days.


Another Christian cartoonist, (and a friend of Doc Fennic) Sketch has quite the fan following, and it's fairly easy to see why. Some realy good anthro art done in coloured pencil here.


Approximately Swiss cheese years old, MG is of the termally sociable types who love to draw other's characters. (I look good with shiney hair) Anyhoo, she also is a GIMP user wich earns her points in my book.


Now I've managed to convert Spiffy into a GIMP user. (Score!!!) He's kinda an up-and-comming deviant without a lot of art posted. (6 deviations, but they're cool)

That's enough for now... ]]> ~Starflier http://Starflier.deviantart.com/journal/4582053/ http://Starflier.deviantart.com/journal/4582053/ Mon, 14 Feb 2005 16:34:53 PST
Let's just say I feel kinda alienated by this whole subject. Love is not an arena in which I plan to step foot in for a while yet. And quite fankly, even if I wanted to, oppertunities to find a girlfriend for homeschooling-teenagers-who-look-35-and- are-extremely-antisocial-and-really-not- much-to-look-at-anyway are slim to none.

However In my head at least I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic. Most of my storylines involve a love story as a subplot. And the other day, my kid brother, while FLIPPING THROUGH MY SKETCHBOOK UNINVITED, found a very incrimminating (I know that's not how it's spelled, leave me alone) sketch of an anthro couple hugging. (freakin' blackmailer)

But really, I don't really get the whole teen dating thing anyway. It seems (to me anyway) to sop up a lot of time, money and stress that I could be putting towards my art. (On the other hand I think the same thing about, say, my schoolwork)

To all you lovebirds out there though, have a good one. And before you kiss anyone, stop first and think: Are you absolutely sure you're sure there's no such thing as cooties? And if there's any doubt in your mind, are you sure you want to risk it? ]]> ~Starflier http://Starflier.deviantart.com/journal/4461595/ http://Starflier.deviantart.com/journal/4461595/ Mon, 31 Jan 2005 11:53:48 PST I turned sixteen.
*sigh*

Anyhoo, is was a good enough birthday. My mom had been kinda upset because she didn't plan a huge event, (like her parents did on her sixteenth, they invited over fifty people. Ugh!) but I had just wanted it to be quiet and relaxed, which is how it turned out. I figgered I might as well try and look as close to my actual age as possible, so I shaved my three inch beard down to mutton chops.(so now I look 23 instead of 35)(and I look like an Irish police officer or somth'n) I got to watch "Sky Captain" (sweet movie) and I got to read a fair portion of "around the World in Eighty Days" (sweet book) and play up to the robot village in "The Island of Doctor Brain." (sweet game) Then we had the family over (and my one friend who wouldn't be weirded out) and had spaghetti, lazania, a chocolate fondue and cinnamon rolls. (not all at once) I got a shwackload of gift cards and a wallet. All and all a good birthday.

OK, Isa gonna be missing Christmas. It's not the presents or the food that I'll miss, (Though I'm thoroughly thankful for everything and the five turkey dinners in the space of a month) (There was an Avian Flu outbreak over the summer, so we had to catch up on our poultry consumption) (Where was I?) I think what I'll miss the most is the constant party atmosphere. I mean when else can you start humming an annoying song and have everyone else within hearing range join in? Bliss I tell you.
We had a rather laid back Christmas this year. My grandparents (Think Frank and Marie from "Everybody loves Raymond") headed down to New Zealand for three weeks, so we moved the family Christmas party a week back. So on Christmas day we had nothing to do.
So Christmas morning comes, this is the second year in a row that mom hasn't woken us all up at 3:00 in the morning. Anyway, we get up at 7:00 to open our presents. My little sister (she's five) has bought everyone breakfast cereal, Corn Pops for my brother, Honey Bs for my other brother, Reese's Puffs for dad.
I got an Organic Soy/Flax/Blueberry cereal. (Which I actually prefer to sugary junk)

We took dinner over to my Pastor's house. I think they were appreciative of not having to cook. ]]> ~Starflier http://Starflier.deviantart.com/journal/4140007/ http://Starflier.deviantart.com/journal/4140007/ Thu, 23 Dec 2004 20:30:47 PST So yeah, I'm going to upload all my old stuff that is on my website, as well as some new stuff, and the next update on my rather neglected website will be the new 2005 re-design. I'll keep you posted. ]]> ~Starflier
