Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000:points: .
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine  that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam  deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)
Draw a
Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang. :D

Nintendo STEALS Money!Since this has been going around lately, I should probably give my two cents. Basically what it amounts to is that Nintendo has filed Content ID info of their games with YouTube. What this means is that if you upload gameplay video of a Nintendo game, YouTube will automatically monetize that video, put ads on it, a link to where to buy the game, and take the money generated from that video and give it directly to Nintendo. People who do "let's play" videos are, naturally, pissed off because they want to be earning money off their videos, so they're calling Nintendo "thieves" for doing this.
I can see both sides to the story. I can see Nintendo as a corporation wanting to exercise control over their properties. On the other hand, "let's play" videos can often help new gamers find games they otherwise wouldn't have tried.
But here's the thing: Nintendo isn't the first company do this. Both Microsoft and Ubisoft do it already. YouTube has also had a long history of having music videos and

Welcome to Town

Journal Entry: Fri Aug 17, 2012, 11:06 AM


WELCOME TO TOWN



Finally leaving home, off on your own into the big, wide world, you catch a bus out of your hometown and travel to wherever this bus may take you. Along the way you aren't the only traveller aboard, no. A cheeky looking Luxio is sitting in the seat across from you, and he turns your way eventually and starts chatting. He seems really friendly, but the fact that he's a PKMN who is sitting, talking, and acting like a human concerns you a little bit. you're unsure how to take this and think you're dreaming, so you simply go along with it...

???: "Hi there! What's your name? Wow, that's a really great name, pleasure to meetcha! My name's Rover. Where are you heading to today? ...Moving?? Wow! At that age already? It's great to be young and travel the world; you can go anywhere you want and noone can say otherwise! Where are you moving to, if you don't mind me asking? ...YOU DON'T KNOW?! How can you not know where you're going?! That's a rash decision there, man! Here, let me help you out...."

The Luxio named Rover digs into his pocket and pulls out a folded up parchment, handing it to you from across the way. You open it to view that it is a map of sorts. The title of the map being called 'Pokette Town Map.' You nod in thank you and stash it away in your own pocket, only to hear Rover continue...

Rover: "That there is a town map for the town called Pokette; It's the next stop on this bus route, and I think you'd like it there! It's not much but with someone like you out on your own now, I think you'll appreciate it and the people there will really appreciate you as well! ...Oh! Well lookit that, we're coming up to the stop. I wish you well friend, hope to run into you again sometime! Keep it chill!"

. . .

You enter through the town limits, passing the gate guards Copper and Booker; a great team of police PKMN who guard the town and make sure it remains safe. Entering into the new land, you view that it is rather... deserted and empty, barren to be precise. Why is it this way? Curiosity striking you, you wander through the empty ghost town to find a lonesome old turtle outside of a large, rundown building. Crooked in stature and leaning on a wooden cane, he spots you and comes hobbling over with a look of happiness across his old face...

???: "Welcome to the town of Pokette, wayward traveller! Are you maybe here to settle down and make yourself at home? Really? Great! That's wonderful! Because we need all the help we can get! As you can see, this town is practically a desert now! Back in it's hey day it use to be such a grand place! I remember those days like the back of my hand I do!! But times have changed and people move on to new places, new adventures... soon enough, everyone was gone! I'm so ashamed that it all came down to this."

The old turtle lets out a very sad sigh with a look of despair, but then perks right back up to continue talking to you. It seems you have no say so far, but you can't be rude to a elder. Eventually you realize he's a ancient looking Torkoal... a talking Torkoal. Who stands and walks and talks. You think you might be losing your mind, but it all seems too real to be your imagination...

Torkomer: "Sorry there, must have winded myself a bit, heh heh horf! I'm Torkomer, the mayor of this here town. Yep! Grand old mayor I am indeed, don't you forget that! But I'm sure you won't, you whippersnapper! You kids these days got all the energy in the world! So anyhow, as I was saying, we here in Pokette need all the help we can get to return this town to it's once grand stature. Will you help us?"

The Torkoal identifies himself as the mayor of town, Torkomer. There isn't much choice given to you: that Luxio on the bus named Rover led you to this town on purpose, it seems, but it was probably for a good cause. The people and this decaying town need you to help them. It's very hard to refuse, though you easily could and simply wait for the next bus out of there, but something deep inside you decides to give your new life a chance here in Pokette. Who knows! Maybe with your help and hard work, Pokette will grow into quite the town that one day everyone will want to live in.

Welcome to Town, new resident!



:pokeball: HOW'S TOWN DOING? :pokeball:


Pokette Town as of December 1, 2012... The town has made a wonderful comeback from it's destructive pest problem in the late autumn season, and the residents have done their best to revive the towns' beauty with hard work before the colder weather has set in. There are a still a few rough patches, but it is quite the improvement regardless! The first snow has fallen and everything is blanketed in a lovely sheet of crisp white! Seems like Pokette Town is going to have a wonderful holiday season!

If you actually read our rules, FAQ, and the counter on the front page of the group you wouldn't be asking this.
