In which I puke on WoW
I'm feeling a little love-hate with WoW right now. Or maybe it's meh-not meh? I enjoyed the new content with the Pandaren starting area, but then I started to compare it with the Goblin one and realized that in terms of silly fun the pandas don't quite measure up for me. The storyline is pleasant enough, and the zone sure is pretty, but in the end ( Read more... ) -
The pun only just occurred to me
The Pandaren race has been a sort of Warcraft in-joke forever - it started as an April Fools thing - and until a year or so ago, they always said it would remain a joke and there would never actually be Pandaren in the game. There was always a vocal element of the fandom that really really wanted them to be real though. And finally Blizzard gave in ( Read more... ) -
My Adventures in The Secret World
I did the free demo for The Secret World. It's free, how can you lose?
There are three factions, the Illuminati, the Dragons, and the Templars. My character is a Templar. Her name is Amber Blue, code name Fidelitas (Latin meaning loyalty, fidelity - I thought it would be an excellent Templar name).

Return to Azaroth
After having not played World of Warcraft for several months, I was recently offered seven free days of gametime (an incentive to get players to return before the expansion that's coming out very soon).

It has a body comprised from various animal parts - generally wings, antlers, tails and fangs, all attached to the body of a small mammal. The most widespread description ( Read more... ) -
Spore!
Near the galactic core, on the shores of the wild, young planet Chumcha, a meteor strikes, carrying with it the seeds of life.
Over millions of years, tiny one-celled creatures evolve. They live out their tiny lives in tidepools, eating, mating, dying but always propagating the species forward another tiny generation at a time...

Be-Cygnus-Smiths - mini update
Not much to show here because I've been slacking. Also, and this is kind of dumb, but I had gotten disenchanted with the skintone I was using, but I was also feeling too lazy to try out some new ones, and that kept me from playing. Seriously. I didn't say it was logical ( Read more... ) -
To boldly go...
...Where no string art has gone before!
I'm not normally a big fan of string art, not even ironically, but I'd make an exception for this. Also, can I just say how much I prefer the design of the original Enterprise over any of the newer ones? It just looks cooler to me.

Cat vs. Pinata
"Made this piñata for our rescue cat Charlie to help him celebrate Cinco de Mayo tomorrow as well as his one year anniversary of being ours. Like so many shelter cats, Charlie was on the verge of being euthanized. Hopefully this video helps show that a pet doesn't need to come from a breeder to have a great personality."
