Decision Regarding Condensing Accounts
Posted 10 years agoSo, after a few weeks of thought, I've decided that I'm going to leave everything as it is here, but repost it all to my main account. Then going forward, all new commissioned pieces will be posted to my main account

I was originally going to remove everything from here and then post it to my main, but then I realized it would be a lot of extra work for the people who favorited the stuff on this account that would then have holes in their favorites gallery. I'd really rather not inconvenience any more people than necessary with my own personal decisions though, so that's why I'm going to try to keep everything here as-is.
To anyone watching both my accounts who are now going to be seeing a bunch of stuff they've already seen before, I do apologize for any inconvenience.
To everyone watching me here, all new Norrathian commissions will be found on my main account

Considering consolidating accounts
Posted 10 years agoYeah, now that FA has folders, I'm not sure if there's a whole lot of point to keeping this account up other than keeping my NSFW and SFW favorites separated. I suppose it would be a little bit of work getting everything reuploaded over to my main account (
talion) and sorted into folders too, but nothing too bad, seeing as how I have far less art on this account than I do there. I'm currently undecided on the issue, since I'd be losing a lot of views/favs by doing that, but there is something to be said in favor of simplifying everything.

Late Night Streaming: Rogue Legacy
Posted 10 years agoMeh spent all evening trying to figure out what I felt like playing for tonight's stream. Finally settled on Rogue Legacy since despite how fun it is, I've barely touched the game. Feel free to join me if you like at http://www.twitch.tv/brekkik/
Streaming The Evil Within shortly.
Posted 11 years agoStreaming The Evil Within for an hour or so.
Posted 11 years ago"Brekkik Plays: Shadowgate" Stream beginning shortly.
Posted 11 years agoI figure if I'm going to associate this account with my gaming stream, I really ought to advertise it once in awhile. To that effect, I'll be kicking off a playthrough of the new Shadowgate remake very shortly. Join me at www.twitch.tv/brekkik
Free Games, Round 3
Posted 11 years agoHi everyone! So, my list of extra Steam and Desura keys I've acquired from game bundles is getting pretty large again, so I figued I'd make a fresh post for it since it's been a few months since the last one. By the way, don't worry about asking for a key if this post has been here awhile, as I actually update the list with any new extra keys I have on about a weekly basis. Also, if you don't want your key sent via FA's note system, feel free to let me know how you'd like me to get it to you.
Other than that, same rules as last time. Post below with what game or games you'd like a key for from the list I'll be posting at the bottom of this. First come, first served, ask for as many keys as you like, and feel free to claim keys for friends or just direct them here. The goal is to get these keys to people who'll use them so they aren't just sitting in my documents to never be used. That said, I'd also like to put it out there that there are no strings attached with these keys. That is to say, you do NOT need to watch me or anything silly like that to get a key you request. Just ask and ye shall receive.
Finally a brief disclaimer: Some bundle sites are known to redistribute keys that have gone unused for a period of time and some of my keys I have had for quite some time. What I'm getting at is that if a key will not work for you, I do apologize, but it's beyond my control at that point. The best advice I have to offer in that situation is to either consider buying the game, thus supporting its developer in the process, or simply wait and see if the game pops up on my list again at some point. And of course, if the game says I have more than one key of it and the key I gave you doesn't work, you're more than welcome to request one of the extra keys.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask in the comments below.
Alright, without further ado, let's get this party started! List linkage: https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....it?usp=sharing
EDIT: Forgot that I had planned to list just what these bundle sites are, for the purpose of showing the sources for my extra keys. All keys I have available come from the following websites:
Blink Bundle
Bundle in a Box (Defunct)
Bundle Stars
Flying Bundle
Groupees
Humble Bundle
Indie Gala
Indie Royale
Lazy Guys Bundle

More Free Game Keys
Posted 11 years agoHey all! So since the last time I offered free game keys was moderately successful and my list of keys is getting pretty big again, I've decided to have another free game giveaway! This time around however, I'm keeping the list together in a nice, easy to navigate Google docs document. You'll see a list of games I have extra keys for (once again, these are leftovers from bundles I've purchased) and now each one links directly to that game's Steam or Desura page so you can see what the game is in the likely event that you haven't heard of it! Just comment here if you see anything you'd like. Feel free to request multiple games. Codes are first come, first served. And while it's not a requirement, since the purpose of this is to get these keys out to people who would use them (as opposed to them just sitting here in my text document going forever unused), any pimpage of this journal would be greatly appreciated.
Also of note: I've been keeping this list updated fairly regularly (about as regularly as I pick up bundles), so be sure to check back ever once in awhile because new games are added at least weekly!
Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....it?usp=sharing

EverQuest Next Iksar Concepts Posted!
Posted 11 years agoWith their new EverQuest Next Round Table response video, SOE showed concept art for how the Iksar race may look. The different body concepts are really varied, since they haven't decided entirely how they want the race to look in the end, though they did state they were open to feedback (which can be left here: https://forums.station.sony.com/eve.....nkful-for.201/).
First off are the body concepts (http://assets.soe.com/uploads/dcscl.....00/045/921.jpg). Personally, I like the bottom left one the best. It's not as super thin as some of the other bodies while at the same time not as bulky as others. Plus I just love that tail design. I suppose I also like that one because to me it looks closest to the EQ2 design, but with digitigrade legs, which I always felt was the one thing lacking from the EQ2 Iksar character model. The one thing I'd want changed most would be the arm length. They just look way too long to me.
Next, we have head concepts (http://assets.soe.com/uploads/dcscl.....00/045/922.jpg). I really don't have any problem with any of these heads and like all of them a lot, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the top center one.
Finally, we have armor concepts (http://assets.soe.com/uploads/dcscl.....00/045/923.jpg). Again, I really like all the armors shown. I really like that they aren't fully covering and I love the horn adornments. I'd like to see maybe some tail adornments too, but otherwise I'd be happy to wear any of these armors on EQ Next Brekkik.
Which reminds me, it's great to see the concepts, but at this point, SOE has pretty much done everything BUT announce them as a playable race. I mean, for us SOE faithful, it's a given. But I'd still feel much better with an official announcement on the matter.

Free Games for a New Year
Posted 12 years agoHey all! So, what game shopping I don't do during sales I tend to do through bundle sites, such as Humble Bundle, Groupees, Indie Gala and the like. Typically, if a bundle offers some games that look like something I'd like to play, I usually pick it up. However, between all the different bundle sites, games can tend to be offered up multiple times, so I end up with extra game codes. What codes don't get picked up by my friends tend to end up in a text file where they just sit indefinitely, unused.
So more to the point, I have a bunch of codes for games to offer anyone that wants them. Note that some are pretty old, and I don't know if these codes expire or not. I'll list them below, along with the service (Steam or Desura) that they can be redeemed through and a link to their store page in the (likely) chance you haven't heard of any given listed game.

The purpose of posting a comment is so people can easily see what codes have already been asked for. Again, there is a possibility that any of my codes may not work for one reason or another. They were legit at the time I got them, but I noticed some bundle sites suggested in their ToS that they won't guarantee a code will still work after 6 months and I know some of these are at least that old.
EDIT: It would figure that the day I decide to do this, Steam would be under DDoS attack. You may be unable to claim your keys while their servers are down.

One Year Older, Bioshock Infinite, and Horror Movie Stream
Posted 12 years agoSo another year has gone by, effectively making me 29 years old now. I don't really anything particularly profound or interesting to say on the topic, so I'll just rework what I said last year:
"Today, (March 30) is my birthday. But (29) doesn't really feel all that different from (28), so I guess I'll just treat that as any other day."
But it's been a good day so far, and really that's all I need for a good birthday.
I got Bioshock Infinite as my birthday present, which was actually pre-ordered and I had been playing it since release day. Incidentally, I just completed it this morning and I have to say it's probably one of the best game narratives I've had the pleasure to play through, right up there with the first Bioshock and some other games. I'm not really a fan of FPS games, but I always make an exception for this series and haven't been disappointed yet. If you've played it, let me know your thoughts on the game.
On a final note, there's a horror movie stream going on right now, courtesy of the
scarystuffclub, so if you like horror movies, feel free to drop by over at http://www.livestream.com/scales4sale

Shadowgate Remake Kickstarter!
Posted 13 years ago(Copied over from my main account)
Shadowgate was a game that was hugely influential for me growing up. I played the NES version like crazy, but never actually beat it until the Gameboy Advance port came along. I loved this game to death and it still influences some of my own game concept ideas, even today.
Anyway, the reason why I mention it is that there's a kickstarter going on right now for a remake of this classic game! There's only 10 days left though and they still have a ways to go, so I thought I'd spread the word the best that I could. If you're interested in this, then I encourage you to help pass word along too! They have some pretty nice bonuses for the various support levels too. Really, what I wouldn't do for $7,500 right now >.=.< But I still plan on pledging what I can, and I hope there's some shadowgate fans here that might be able to help too.
Here's a link to the kickstarter page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects.....joi/shadowgate

So that happened... (mirrored post from my main account)
Posted 13 years agoOr rather, as of this writing, it's happening now. Today, (March 30) is my birthday. But 28 doesn't really feel all that different from 27, so I guess I'll just treat that as any other day. Other than going out for lunch with my mate later today, I can't say I really have anything else planned. I'd say don't expect a
Signal~Boost journal from me today while I use my birthday as an excuse to be lazy, but I'd really rather not fall behind, as it is a bit of a bitch to catch up on journals if I do. Anyway, have a good day all!

To anyone considering being on MTV True Life: I'm a Furry
Posted 13 years agoI'm helping spread the word for
xedgewolfx. It shouldn't come off as all that surprising, but if you were thinking of being on the show to make the fandom look better, it seems the network already has a specific view they want to portray furries in (spoiler: it's the same view as all other shows portraying furries!). For a general idea of what you'll have to put up with if you were were to audition, see the following journal: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3242710/
Help spread the word if you'd like. The fandom has a bad enough reputation as it is, let's try to convince people not to get on this and make things worse.
