I might actually use this rig... It feels unique to me.

So I started reading The Hunger Games yesterday... I have about 64 pages left. So far I'm not impressed with the story. I've spotted multiple fragments and run-on-sentences, first off. Secondly, the descriptions of children as young as twelve years old pleading for their lives, along with the descriptions of the "agonizing screams" of the same children don't really appeal to me. Thirdly, the romance thing between Peeta and Katniss is sort of dumb. Seems kind of like the romantic fantasy of a young girl (which may be the point). And lastly, there's very little suspense in it for me. Obviously Katniss wins, because she's in the next books, and she's the main character, so she has to at least survive. Maybe Peeta will die, but who cares about him?
Either he's a treacherous and vile human being, or he's a cliched boyfriend character... And the writing in this book isn't really all that great either. It's not bad, and I've made note of the good metaphors and descriptions Collins uses, but all in all, I'd say this book is pretty average so far... Not sure what all the hype about it is about.. -
Bro, what's with the profile picture? It makes me think of Pennywise and Oddbob...

ALRIGHTY... That was... not good... At all... In the book series I'm reading, the basic idea is that there is a crazy dude wanting to eliminate most of the human race so that he can start over; as he thinks the world is too corrupt to continue and will tear itself apart anyways. His plan is to use an airborne toxin that reproduces itself at rapid rates. Now, it starts out as a liquid, and is vaporized upon its release from containment; or that's how it is supposed to work. And there's a baby that they think is immune to the toxin and could stop it from being released to destroy the world... So they.... feed the poison to the baby, and it doesn't work... and then the author went into graphic detail to describe to the readers how the baby dies.... Not cool. Not cool at all.... Especially if you're a person who has younger siblings and you can picture what he describes happening to your own siblings... Bleh....

I like it! Good on you, mate! The customization available is quite appealing to me... as is its simple appearance (most gun rigs have really bland/flat textures applied to them).
-
When I opened this, I was thinking: "Please do not be a wallpaper of the Michael Brown protesters... Please don't be..." And it was not! Good on you, mate! Looking good! The only thing I'd say on the negative side of things is that the rain seems a bit... Two-dimensional? I dunno. It just seems like it's almost an overlay of a rain texture on top of the picture. Overall though, like I said, good job!
-
I think maybe the handle should be thinner (the blade too), and the blade longer. Still better than other lightsaber rigs I've seen though! Good on you!

Yes! I actually have that right here on a VHS tape... several of them actually... But I never thought of it that way....

WAIT A MINUTE.... Why does Mermaid Man look like Aquaman? Was that intentional?

Ah! I was reading a book... and... and... and... the author... he... he... he used the word "grizzly" (as in grizzly bear).... instead of "grisly" (as in horrifying and/or disgusting)... And I looked it up just to be sure that the word "grizzly" couldn't be used in place of the word "grisly"... and I was correct in thinking that it couldn't.... This bothers me. This bothers me a lot. IMMERSION RUINED! Destroy not the author, but rather, destroy his editor who did not catch this error immediately!

@Deminu:
The book I'm talking about is 308 pages long. And like I said, I realize mistakes can be made and acknowledge that I do make them and that I will likely make more of them in my own writing. However, the mistakes in my own work will still bother me as much as mistakes in other works do. In truth, what bothers me isn't seeing a mistake. It's seeing a mistake that isn't fixed and that I can't fix myself. Maybe I should go and be an editor, yeah? -

Boom approves!

Hmm... I'm curious. Three common grammar mistakes people make when writing are:
Confusion of the words "to", "two", and "too",
confusion of the words: "where" and "were",
and confusion of the words: "they're", "their", and "there".
I've never understood the confusion. No one ever taught me the difference between them, I just read a lot and figured it out on my own. I've never had trouble with it, and it's not like I had an awesome teacher who went out of his/her way to teach me; in fact, I'm homeschooled and I teach myself most of the time. I just don't understand how people (who have English as their first language) have that confusion. Is public school just really bad at teaching it, do people not read like I did and do, or am I just lucky to not have trouble with it?

Hmm... Taking the ACT in about ten hours. Should be fun.

"Laptop rig + Minecraft Menu" Showcase Test
BOOMmaker replied to Nimi's topic in Random/Test animations
So someone's playing Minecraft... In Minecraft. O__O -
//What exactly is the setting?
-
//Hmm... I'm considering joining this... It seems slow-paced enough that I could follow it without falling behind... Any qualms with this consideration, Amethyst? I could also introduce the character that I'd use by him being attacked by monsters nearby Ella and Bianca, therefore attracting their attention and killing two birds with a single stone (the two birds being the method of bringing in the character and adding the "drama" of a monster attack that you mentioned earlier).//

*snorts triumphantly* So, Americans are cool, right?

But couldn't one export a .png for every frame of the animation and then string them all together? That's how it works in Blender.

I never understood the name "Garret"... I know it's spelled differently, but that's the title of a machine used for executions... And a weapon that is pretty much used to strangle a person or to cut their throat.... I just wouldn't be able to name a kid Garret knowing that...

@Varen: Hmm? Yes, I mean that the device used for execution and the weapon are spelled differently than the name. While the name is spelled "Garret", the weapon and device are spelled "garotte".
@Ocelot: I watched a documentary on it when I was.... Eight? Nine maybe? Anyways, I had a friend named Garret at the time, and now it's all I can think about when I hear the name.

Playing Star Wars: Bounty Hunter on the PS2. I just finished Chapter 4: A Tense Partnership, subcategory: The Death Stick Factory. What I discovered is that I really, really, don't like the Bando Gora. They either hide with high-powered sniper rifles that have an equally high rate-of-fire, or run at me in mobs like a pack of lunatics. Most of the time I was saying: "No! Die! Back off!" and blasting them with my flamethrower... Bleh.
