“Not only does Funcom give us new in-game footage, but also included in the video are developer interviews with Ragnar Tørnquist and Martin Bruusgaard. Check out the video and get a feel for what being a Templar character in London will be like.” – http://ping.fm/Y4kUA

“… some of the assets and goodies you’ll find in the upcoming Final Fantasy XIV Collector’s Edition boxset …” – http://ping.fm/VIzn1

Still have one more contest prize piece to finish, but I’m thinking I should have another contest pretty soon.

F-bomb is used liberally. Probably NSFW, unless your job rocks balls in which case you need to hire me there.

So reviews at Fandomania and art/photographs should start showing up more regularly here pretty soon. I actually have a couple of drawings and a ton of Hipstamatic photos to post. Been using that Hipstamatic app like my life depended on it lately. It’s a good way to keep the creative juices flowing, just shaking the iPhone to randomize the app settings, and just snapping random pics.

“Sam. Still infiltrating the dog fight. I’m pretty sure it took less time for Frodo and Samwise to get to Mordor and back and for Tolkien to write all three books.” – http://ping.fm/J4dAb

The Brother always says I'm horrible at answering these questions because I always say I would want to be Jean Grey after the Phoenix Force bonded with her. The reason why? Because "The Phoenix is among the most feared beings in the entire existence — having the power to cut and re-grow any part of the universe, as well as destroy it entirely, which is part of the Phoenix's purpose: 'The Judgment of the Phoenix', to burn away the obsolete. The Phoenix Force is described as being 'the embodiment of the very passion of Creation – the spark that gave life to the Universe, the flame that will ultimately consume it.'" – per Wikipedia. Jean is pretty much the Phoenix and not just a bearer or host for the power. She's also a really hot redhead and that in itself would be an awesome power to have.

Marianne is the most adorable person ever and really loved her painting. She even tried to pay me for it, even though we had already agreed it was payment for her dying my hair this last time.
