First of all, Happy Doomsday and Merry Christmas to everyone. Was pretty entertaining catching up on news and handling things here, even though I felt a little bad for the people camping out near the Mayan ruins by candle light. Some friends of mine were having parties, but I flatly told them I'd be working through the end of the world, so there we have it. Went to work, survived Doomsday, and I still work with zombies anyway. lol

Now, to business. I've got a couple commissions in my queu, but it seems... I have lost that queu. Embarassed fokkle is embarassed. I can name one off the top of my head, but I would like if anyone has commissions for me to send me a note as a reminder. Been lots of things going on for me, hence my lack of mental processing and creativity, and I could use a refreshing bonk on the antlers to remind me what I'm doing. Going to be doing a lot of reference sketches to warm up my hand to holding the tablet pen again, so now would be a great time to learn what the hell a Livestream is... Because headset. And I need to stop being lazy.

Also, I've caught wind of the whole Mass Effect 4 thing. How Bioware is asking fans whether it should be a prequel to all the games or a showing of after the wars... Personally, I'd like it after. We've got the comics they're releasing to give us that "prequel" sense. For a lot of us, there was no closure at the end of ME3 (been there, not getting into it again). There was too much left open to the imagination for there NOT to be a future setting for ME4, and I think Bioware would be shooting themselves in the foot if they went back and covered in a game what the comics (and books) already cover in detail... Unless they use that as a time-filler and simultaneously work on a future-set game, or ME5, and I don't know if they've got the energy and manpower to do something like that, tbh. I'd love to be proven wrong, mind you, but that is my current thought on that matter. I obviously have done little to no research on the existence of ME4 beyond simply knowing that Bioware is asking fans about time setting, but I do sincerely hope they choose to give players a chance to see what happened afterward beyond ME3's little clip of Liara's time capsule in the "oops" ending. Just putting that out there.

TL/DR? Mass Effect 4. Let it be AFTER ME3. Everyone knows what happened before ME1 already.

Lastly, a few of you know I've gotten a hold of a PS3. I only have four games on it. Dishonored is the only one that kills things. lol The other three or Journey, Flower, and flOw, the first of which I simply cannot put down. The entire game lasts as long as a feature-length movie, and has about the same impact as one. Many of you gamers know about it's award this year... I'm not surprised in the least. Best consol-specific game of the year, I believe? I haven't been keeping up with that bit, but I did hear about it. I've completed it 100/100, found all the little nooks and crannies, all the fun easter eggs and lovingly left-in extra things, the little happy accidents... And I still play it up and down with all my heart. It's a truly inspiring game, and such a beautiful story with such loveable character designs. I know what at least two of you are thinking, and you're exactly right... I'm going to be making a short comic of that, too. Will be good practice for my environmental and colouring techniques. Will probably start that once I get a Livestream, or something... If I can figure out how to do it. lol

And for the record, quite a bit off topic from the rest of this journal, I may be abandoning my Gmail accounts. Seriously. Google... Youtube is Youtube, and my username SHOULD be used to log in, not my Yahoo account... And you shouldn't be asking for cell phone numbers when I try to log into ANY of your products... Which should be a bit more easily accessible than they are. I should be able to go from my Youtube account to my Gmail account, both of which are different TO REDUCE MY CONTACT WITH YOUR SPAM, without having to be bugged about my personal information... Or my Yahoo account. Which I don't even use. At all. So... If any of you really want to get a hold of me, contact me here, on Secondlife, or on Skype... Which I have. And I'm getting used to it. lol

So that's that. No more Gmail for me... Fucking Google.
