Wow. I was playing The Sims 2 the other day (just got The Sims 3). My nephew was looking at my sim and his friends… all female sims in his friends window with love hearts in their portraits. He said just one word to me…
"stud"

The 2009 Rant, Vent, and Share thread
I don't get why mactards say Mac's are better for art, i've yet to see one piece of evidence to support this. I've seen plenty of online artists sites put 'made on a mac' proudly at the bottom and their art and color is the same as the rest of the herd. (and many Macs can't run SAi and other art programs)
They used to be better way back when for various reasons I still have yet to learn ( Probably little things, like being easier to load type fonts or something. ), but apparently there actually used to be a reason to use a Mac over a PC for graphics stuff. Nowadays, since Macs are running Intel processors and bootcamp, it effectively makes them a PC in a shinier box minus that ever-so-useful second mouse button. I think it's more a hold-over in the graphics arts community to think they're better, more than anything else.

As for my rant, I just really need to get the hell out of Iowa. It's making me angry and aggressive, when I'm normally a pretty laid-back guy. I just can't handle having to live with my family and putting up with a bunch of asshole coworkers apparently. It doesn't help me that I'm still $5000 short of tuition and I can't find any source to get the money from. That's uping the stress level a bit. I'm finding that all these new bills coming in over last year on a paycheck that earns about $10,000 a year is a bit overwhelming. Not that I can complain compared to some folks, but I'm afraid of getting in over my head.
I don't know why, but this ad banner, that everyone's always talking about, comes up as a gray box for me. I never see any of those sexy adds you guys tend to praise about.
Like that Batman ad that apparently deserved it's own thread.
It's supposed to be some motivating poster from the navy or something military… but it's some chick's eyeballs just STARING AT YOU. Like "If you don't sign up I've blow your goddamn leg off."
I never see any of those sexy adds you guys tend to praise about.
I think you have to be in the land of the free and the home of the brave. I'm just getting the mayor of London's attempt to make me ride a bicycle. I love to ride a bicycle, but I can think of better ways to die than being crushed beneath the wheels of an unlicensed minicab.
Yeah, good lord I would never try to ride a bicycle here. Cars don't even slow down for crossing pedestrians! And the lanes are itty bitty.
I would have to say London is probably the most dangerous place for anything, I'm sure if you were further out it would be somewhat safer to cross the street and ride a bike. :]
Dogsitting dog went to the kennel today after a rousing game of "I use the ball thrower and try to lose the ball, and stand around waiting for her to expend her energy finding it for 5 minutes"
Now I need a nap 'cos I woke up at 4:30am to play Left4Dead with my friend in the US.
I'm gettin' increasingly irritated with my lack of focus- I'm almost certain it's a side effect of my medicine. Everything else is fine, I've been doin' really well and all that. But I don't want to live my life not being able to read a newspaper article in one sitting, or get past page 3 in any book. And what's worst is it's almost impossible for me to work on my art for more than 30-45 minutes at once.
I want some f**king Aderol. Or a similar legal version of speed. It's either that or go off the meds altogether and risk those consequences.
But I'm too intimidated by the eventually necessary search for another doctor… I mean, what am I supposed to do? Pick one outta a phone book and entrust him or her with my life? This sucks.
And what's worst is it's almost impossible for me to work on my art for more than 30-45 minutes at once.I have that trouble and I have no diagnosed conditions. :(
What can help for me is something to engage the thinking part of my mind, so I can let the more instinctive action part work on my art. -so interesting audio can do that like a good radio play or a DVD commentary or something.
It's hard though because if it's not engaging enough the mind wanders and comic time is kaput! And you can run out of good audio material. The BBC websites have a lot of great stuff to choose from though.
Visual stuff like a DVD or TV show can be too distracting to work through, it depends on your state of mind.
As for medication- stuff that depresses the mind and body and slows you down doesn't help at all. But stuff that stimulates you does! I work really well on cold and flu meds with pseudoephedrine in them. But you come down after a while and the effect doesn't work as well the next time, so it's not a good way to go.
-Only took those when I had sinus problems. :P
Coffe can work like that too, especially with nutmeg added (that's a bit of a stimulant), but it takes a LOT of coffee and it takes a good long while to rev up to full speed.- hours. T_T

My friend is a graphic design major, and it was a requirement that he get a mac laptop. Supposedly, it's better for design. Regular art though, yeah, I couldn't tell the difference.

You can use any PC and do a great job, whether that PC runs OSX or Vista or Windows XP or Linux. What matters is the monkey doing the work.
I would have to say London is probably the most dangerous place for anything.Actually. I have to agree with you on that statement. I lived there for about 3 years and in that time I experienced the following:
Two coworkers of mine ended up getting raped during the eight months that I worked there.
My girlfriend at the time discovered an unconscious man in a suit, lying in a side street.
There was a murder nearby where I lived.
When I worked for this sale company, I had to pass through a tunnel where 20-30 homeless people lived in.
I once encountered a tube station that had been temporarily closed because someone had committed a suicide on the tracks.
I personally knew few streets that I couldn't walk through without being offered drugs or sex at least twice.
I encountered police officers with semi automatic weapons… or fully automatic… point is, those were really big guns.
i've been playing battlefield 2. for 4 hours, my computer overheated…it crashed to desktop….the funny part was that i was flying a helicopter, and there were six people in there…let's hope they bailed….hahahaha. that sucks.
le sigh….i guess i could go do my swim now. there was a surprise storm this morning, and i didnt feel like going out afterwards…
Nearly every girl I meet thinks I'm gay. Seriously, I exchanged like five lines of dialogue to one girl, and it turns out she thinks I'm homosexual. So, after some thinking, I have narrowed down the reasons as to why girls think that way.
A: I don't bother to flirt with the opposite gender and just treat them like regular people.
B: I act like a gigantic faggot.
I think I just need a shirt that says 'I don't like being rogered by men in Soho - seriously'.

Could be the voice too… I myself seem to have a "girly" voice when I speak in my normal tone. So when I talk to people I try to keep my voice low. My coworkers think I'm homosexual anyway since my first post when I started working was the inside of G-Spot (yeah, I got a free show) and I hated it!
At least you're not one of those morons that when they laugh attempt to make it sound deeper to be 'manlier' when all it does is sound like they're retarded.
Ha!-ha!-HA HAW HAW HAWHW HGRAWWGHDUSFS YOHOH OHHOH
But yeah a gay lisp to words are a red flare, bonus point if you're clean/cute and dress fashionably.

The sad thing is, none of this would cause me to raise an eyebrow when I'm out working around North London. I wouldn't even mention it when I got home: the wife would be like, "and???".
I think I just need a shirt that says 'I don't like being rogered by men in Soho - seriously'.You would have to be so gay to wear that shirt.
Guys, I found an awesome feature for tomrorow. You're gonna love it. It's been on the site since April and only has like one regular commenter. :[
THAT'S LIKE MY COMIC.
Oh wait…
It only has 2 pages.
Nevermind guys, false alarm.
In other news, I am on cutting.
Not like, slicing myself.
But like, calories.
My goal is to be toned. Because at the moment, I'm pretty bulky (not fat, really, just pretty muscly) and I don't want that.
And I met a girl from Canada.
And she's gorgeous.
And thinks I'm cute.
She's like a supermodel.
But like…even better.

the funny part was that i was flying a helicopter, and there were six people in there…let's hope they bailed….hahahaha. that sucks.Battlefield 2 is friggen hopeless for crashing. I think it just uses resources badly with video cards. Very badly! It is funny when you're in a heli and something messes up though :)
I used to flick the damn document flip button on my mouse which would take me out of the game… Just great in flying vehicles!
I've killed heli pilots with my sniper rifle before, and watched the confused doofuses crash down, not knowing what happened. That's funny but rare.
i know?dirty right? so Skool,what're ya wearin?Not a maid and or secretary outfit. -_-

i'm paranoid about the pilots in that game, so when i'm riding shotgun, unless i have a target directly in front of me, i'm constantly glancing at the seat indicator, so that when the pilot inevitably bails, cause he doesn't know how to use flares, then i can press f1 and fly away, or E and bail myself.

Less weight, more reps. you don't need to cut the calories. in fact that's bad, especially when you're lifting. (unless you're eating like 3000 calories a day)
