The Peacemaker

That is the greatest thing ever. Only problem is that I have no intention of ever driving, and I'm not sure it would fit on my bicycle.

Now somebody has to throw Charlie Sheen in on the far left.

I have absolutely no idea whether it would be your sort of thing. It certainly isn't mine, but I've been told by many sources that my taste in everything is awful. Whether this has any bearing on, say, the actual quality of Monty Python, or if it merely points out that my taste in personal critics is awful, is anyone's guess.

Well, the bit about perspective and anatomical correctness still stands.

My main suggestion would be that you work on perspective and shading. Right now, the image looks very flat. Once you get better at perspective, you can work on accuracy with anatomic and structural details.

Well-played, my good sir. I might have gotten it before the last two lines if I'd actually read this yesterday.

First of all I would like to say that, if I happen to find myself in possession of $10-15 at the time, then yes, I would buy a benefit album. Second, I would like to say that I have an excellent idea for the title of the album:

Hey, calling people out on errors like that is the only joy I'm still able to extract from life.

The left-brain/right-brain theory was discredited a long time ago. Healthy people do not think that way. *Ahem* That being said, how "in space" is this? Earth orbit? Another planet? All happening on a ship in the middle of nowhere?

I drink orange juice until I start sweating citrus.

I must either draw or 'shop this. Probably draw it. Nixon's nose... Weegee's eyes... Charlie's Sheenvincibility...

Because he's not Tim Curry, and, in all likelihood, can't pull off the role of the good Dr. Frank N. Furter?

All depends on the suit, mate. I picked up a rather nice one, all black, and it's quite easy to move around in. Gets a bit warm at times, sure, but I can just take the jacket off when that happens.

Satch does look like Lord Voldemort, though. The only question is, which should I call him - Lord Satriani or Joe Voldemort?

Did you know that Christopher Lee put out a metal album? Anyway, I have absolutely no way of recording my voice (or any other sound) at the moment, so there goes that.

Depends on how easy you pick accents up, and how long you retain it after you've left an area. I still pronounce a lot of words with a sort of south-western accent (don't know exactly what category Colorado is in, as far as regions go, but I spent my first eight years there), but, for some reason, I'll occasionally slip into some variation on a British accent. It's hilarious when I'm speaking Spanish.

You might try drawing the initial sketch with a blue colored pencil, and then only doing the final drawing in black. It reduces the appearance of stray lines and, in my experience, makes you need to erase less.

Note - Parry is a verb, used in sword-fighting, essentially meaning to counter. In that context, your name, PtP, is awesome. Now, onto the game, it's interesting, though there has been a disappointing lack of FLYING WIZARD KICKS.

Well, I find in MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries, some people tread a fine line between that. On the one hand, you have the genuine tacticians. These are the people who will set up a modified Sunder on a hill and snipe, then duck behind cover as soon as they're noticed - or the people who will actually take one for the team and go out in a scout mech equipped with a Narc Beacon to seal the fate of whatever enemy is making a nuisance of themselves. I have a lot of respect for these people, as I am generally one of them. Then you have the people who don't exactly Rambo it, but don't really use tactics, either. These are the people who, when five different people are having a light mech fight for the fun of it, will jump in with an Atlas just to feel superior. These are the ones that I reserve my special Supernova for. You see, in this game, there's an easy way to tell if they're that special kind of moron, or an actual tactician. Load up a Supernova with 8 Flamers, and start crisping them. If they can't get themselves out of that situation, then they're a poor pilot using cowardice and cheap tricks to keep themselves alive. If they shred your Supernova within five minutes, they know what they're doing.

When you completely vanish from one of those RPGs for months at a time, it doesn't really help matters.

It's all because of some annoyingly loud Bavarian intellectuals who were run out of town, some pro-bono wallbuilders who were very keen on protecting trade secrets, squirrels being very careful about how they eat the rest of that pizza in your trashcan, rich people discussing politics, politicians discussing rich people, and poor people discussing the bills. In short... it's madness, misinformation, the general assertion that both are bad, the assertion that, to keep things less confusing, all bad things are in fact the same bad thing, and stupid people trying to look smart.

Hey... My person is neither for-hire nor terribly mysterious... more just someone who doesn't see the point of all this and doesn't consider any of the groups worth fighting for. ... More to provide a 3rd-party perspective than anything else, really.

Holy Tallcats.... Anyway, yeah, the Mythbusters pic is awesome. I'll try to come up with something that epic or better, but it'll take a while and involve Syd Barret.

While I knew about the other stuff, I'd more-or-less forgotten about how serious the Canadian military was... especially, of course, in World War 2. The bit about the SS Commanders conveniently leaving that detail out of briefings underscores the point.

Hey man, I know something roughly analogous to what you're dealing with. I'm actually trying to start a band myself, but have trouble finding members who want to go in the same direction as I do - partly because they make the usual stupid assumption about the direction I want it to go in. To be honest, I will probably end up doing a lot of instrumental stuff, at least until I can figure some lyrics up - I've already got the concept (though little else) for a song, actually. Also, goatees<Full Ian Anderson-style beard.
