Sprites

2008-12-10T05:36:00.000-08:00

I know that I have not posted anything in a good while. I always do this so don't expect it to be frequent unless it is. To the right and left are some new sprites I've been working on. Those are me with spikey hair and non, respectively. Below is a page with a handful of ones that are currently done. I thought everyone might want to check out.

PS-If anyone wants to commision me to make a sprite post here or send me an email to musgraveorama@gmail.com and I will try to make one in under a week. I figure some practice will be good for me and your ideas for sprites may be better than mine, I will do ones of people like the one of myself and kristen above.

Pieces of Flair

2008-09-24T08:32:00.000-07:00

Oh Facebook, you are so so popular and I have absolutely no use for you. Every once in awhile though my fiance brings something to my attention that I at first dismiss then have a secret passion for. Pieces of Flair is just one such thing. What is crazy is that I never even intended on using as something on Facebook. Ok maybe I am getting ahead of myself. For the uninitiated, Flair are like pins that you would wear on a jacket or messenger bag, but on Facebook you place your collection on a Flair Board so show off "you". Well I am creative and OCD apparently because the first thing I thought was, "Hrmp, that would make an awesome wallpaper." And off I went. Taking only 3 days of time in between work, I created this:Beautiful isn't it. Anyway I just wanted to throw that up here and let anyone who was interested see what I am interested in and maybe get a free wallpaper if you want it. the res is 1280x1024.

Vanguard Trial

About a month ago I picked up the Collectors Edition of Vanguard: Sago of Heroes from Amazon.com for $15.00, and I am hooked. With the most recent Game Update 6 they introduced a new starting area called the Isle of Dawn and a 14 day trial for free to let new people come and experience the mosly bug free experience. I point out the mostly bug free because when it was released a little over a year ago it was in poor shape, having been rushed to market because of various reasons. Now, over a year later it has been nothing less than a stellar experience for me. If you are a person who loved EverQuest, but not EQ2; tired of WoW; or are just looking to feel heroic every minute you are in the the world of Telon, I would encourage you to try it out. What is there to lose?

I stumbled across this amazing marketing ploy the other day on IGN. We all love classic game character like Mario & Sonic (heck I have nostalgia for even terrible NES games), well D3 Publisher is creating a NEW game franchise that they are pretending has been around for the last 25 years. What? you say. They went to great lengths to create a beleivable backlog of games for the titular character, which can be seen on his unofficially official site. Here is a site from someone who was "there" when the previous games were created. He even has a Facebook page (who doesnt these days though). All I can say is that they have my attention, if they can create wonderfull timesinks like PuzzleQuest, and the upcoming Bangai-O Spirits, I have utter faith that this will be an excelent game full of quirky retro injokes. I certainly hope so atleast.
