Meh, it's been long enough. Kinda forgot to check up on this account. In case some of you haven't seen yet, this is my current account. Ciao

Gallery's gone, no longer wish to be associated with the name "sonikdude750". Too much has changed, thus the name only brings memories of hypocrisies and an overall attitude I no longer believe in. Ah the good ol days. Ciao peeps

Not much here. Sorry I haven't talked to many of you lately, been finishing up some classes and getting in touch with the friends who are back home from college. I've actually just been nuking submissions both here and on DA, so I haven't seen much of what's going on.

Art-wise, I have a crapload of sketches scanned into my comp, but I want to start coloring digitally more, so chances are you won't see much of them right now.

Oh, and happy holidays and whatnot. Here's something nice for the holidays.

Peace.

Yep, today I turn 21. Meant to give advance notice, but meh. I'm trying to think of fun things to do today, besides going out drinking, too obvious. If you wanna be nice and draw something for me that'd make me very happy, but I don't really care. Haven't gotten anything in a while since I'm not very social here anymore. So yeah, just wanted to put that out there, gnight peeps.

Well maybe not as much a meme as a really awesome topic.

But holy fuck I've been trippin balls since last night. This is fucking epic! It's 4chan, so I don't know how long it'll be up for. Go look!

Sweet, about time too. Gots me a Toshiba, 3 gigs ram, 250 gigs memory, not bad for $500. A few things I'm happy about; I finally have a webcam, been wanting a mic to talk on skype and msn for a while, now I dont need one. I can finally live in my room. Literally, I do everything on the laptop, my 360's xboxlive is plugged through my laptop, and I can finally catch up on my anime and manga at 3AM. Loving it!

Thats all, this is filler journal really.

RIP  Runhurds_failure It was so sudden, he died peacefully *sob*.
The account is closed, but you can still see the awesomeness that is there I guess.

Ahh, it was a good few days while it lasted. I must say, it was a fun way to kill a few hours on sunday morning, and I loved the feedback it got. I was surprised to come back from work and see 6 new watches from people I know, we should start a club! The only thing I'm sad about is there's 2 unread messages on it and I can't look at them now.

The question remains, will anything happen now that I've said this? Meh, I've gotten a warning, I hardly do anything here anymore anyways.

Thanks for the support people, I had fun with this!

*I mean come on, it wasn't that hard to figure out who it was*

A friend of mine on DA has been telling me the last few days of his plan to finally move over to FA...although not in the way you'd think. His account is ready and I must say, I've been laughing ever since. This is probably going to become my favorite troll ever now.

Being the generous man I am, I agreed to help spread the word for him. So ladies and gentlemen, I give you...this!

Stolen from  BigCee

 Runhurd has put me on his block list for trying to tell him the truth. Haha, up to this point I've tried taking it easy on him, but this is just getting retarded. It's time to admit your failures man, you have an almost exact Sonic-replica fancharacter, your character attributes are absurdly ridiculous, you have anatomy problems which you don't seem to want to fix, and you basically have no ideas of your own, taking everything from Archie and other sonic games.

I know lots of people bash on him for this stuff, but holy crap I didn't think it was this bad. Now I see why they do it.

I give up, it's more fun to make fun of him now. XD

Once again Sega goes on with saying this will be the game to put Sonic back to his roots. And of course as everyone knows Sonic 1 was full of maniacally deformed humans and werewolf specters breaking the shit out of everything.

I'll say this first, I liked the newer Sonic games. They had their problems, but they were small, and I still had fun with them. Sonic Unleashed is beginning to put the nail in the coffin. The normal Sonic stages are decent, but the werehog ones I have serious problems with.

First off, the modern enemy from the previous 3D games is back. No I'm not talking about Eggman I'm talking about the dreaded camera. In the werehog stages it tries to move around and show you where to go, most of the time while in mid-run or jump meaning you fly off in the opposite direction of where you were going. Not to mention it makes climbing ledges a chore; It's not simply pressing up that makes you climb up, you have to press in the direction according to where the camera is. Most of the puzzles I end up climbing up by rotating the control stick a dozen times, since this is the only way to find out which direction leads to the "up" command.

Speaking of Eggman, this still pisses me off. "Hey, let's take the villain and give him a funny nickname!" "Great! Now let's make that villain call himself that, completely defeating the purpose of that comedic nickname and making him look like an idiot in the process!" "Awesome, I like how you think Mr. Miyamoto!" "Miyamoto: Mwahahahahaha!" I will literally prance around my house like a giddy schoolgirl the day Sega brings back "Robotnik".

THIS GAME IS CORNY!

Next thing that Unleashed does to piss me off, cutscenes and dialogue. I love watching cutscenes, especially pretty looking ones. The ones in Sonic Unleashed make me SICK! They're corny as hell! Every 10 seconds there's either a corny joke, a gag, or an old 90's cartoon sound effect that makes me think the Road-Runner is gonna burst out of a wall and challenge Sonic to a race! Sega seems to think their target audience is getting younger! Apparently the only people who still play Sonic games are 9 year olds, and that excludes the 90% of them that are playing M-rated games now. What's worse? You can't skip them! I find myself actually muting the tv because I'm embarrassed to let anyone around me hear this garbage! The man's name is Professor Pickle for gods sake, PROFESSOR PICKLE!!!

Also, I don't know how they managed to do it, but they were able to turn Tails into even MORE of a pussy!

ADVENTURE STAGES

The adventure stages are unimaginative and bland. Not to mention Sonic runs pretty slow in them, stopping every once in a while to talk to someone, only to hear 90% of the time some irrelevant thing like "Don't mind Ma, she can't talk because she lost her dentures this morning." ZOMG NO WAI!!1! THAT'S LIKE SO INTERESTING LIKE OHMAGAWD! The adventure stages are pointless, plain and simple. they're a chore to progress through and it pisses me off when I have to talk to these people. In Sonic 06 I was fine with it, and unlike many people I'm fine with having humans in a Sonic game. Sonic 06 had decent looking human models, Unleashed has...something from Jimmy Neutron. When the fuck did Sonic travel to "The Land of Massively Deformed People Who Talk to you About Their Day." Come on, if I wanted to hear every damn tidbit about these people's day I would still be with my first girlfriend. XP

Another thing about adventure stages, you have to switch between day and night (Sonic and werehog), to progress in certain areas. This would be fine...if it changed right away without a loading screen AND if it was in rare occasions. Nope, here's how it goes: Break gate with werehog, change to Sonic, slide under wall to new area, change to werehog, flip switch and go to another new area, switch to Sonic, run along water path to other side, switch to werehog, climb up wall to destination...I have no comment on all of this, just "wtf". And yes, there is a loading screen every time you change forms, if you didn't already guess that.

WEREHOG STAGES!

These can be fun in certain ways. The combat's not bad, but primarily all it is is button mashing the whole time. There's a shield to protect you from attack, which is practically useless. The only time you ever get hit is when you're in the middle of a combo, which you can't use the shield during. I can't tell how many times I was attacking a robot, only to be killed by the robot BEHIND it which shot a laser through the first one and hit me. The puzzles are pretty easy, but take a long time, usually due to missed jumps (sometimes due to the camera). Basically all of them are just jumping to higher places, no biggie there. Again with the "Sonic's main audience appears to be 9 year-old prepubescent kids with downs-syndrome."

The thing I hated most though were the checkpoints. There's enough of them, but the placement is horrible at times. There's times I'll fight a large mass of enemies, do a jumping puzzle for 15 minutes, move on to the next area, be flooded with enemies, die, and then revert half-way back through the level and have to do everything all over again. Another thing I don't get, when doing the "critical attacks" where you have to push the indicated button, if you miss the button you take damage from the enemy. First off, I thought I was attacking and stunning you, why can you suddenly attack through me? Not to mention when you miss, the enemy's hit usually does a nice chunk of damage, half the time killing me. I'm almost tempted to not do those attacks at all. back to the button mashing then. Overall the stages are decent. You can have fun watching the flashy effects and all, but it's mostly childs-play.

Controls are "meh". You have to be completely still before flipping a switch or picking something up. You have to be looking directly at the object too, IE having it so closely shoved up your rectum you'd swear Sonic was using it to pleasure himself (cause we all know he doesn't like the ladies (HO HO I went there)). You'll spend a good 10-20 seconds running around an object just to get in position and stop long enough to pick it up.

SONIC'S STAGES!

Ah, what we all played this for; fast, uninterrupted speed runs. The level designs are good, and Sonic's stages are pretty fun to play. The only gripe I really have is how the cameras fixed close to you, meaning you hardly have any time to react to whats in front of you when in 2D. Most of the time all you have to do is hold right and press X to boost anyways, so it's pretty dull. The boss fights can be fun, but it gets really annoying for the fact Eggman seems to only have one line of dialogue which he says every 10 seconds. "See if you're fast enough to dodge this!", ok I did, "See if you're fast enough to dodge this!", alright, I did again, "See if you're fast enough to dodge this!", FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST KILL ME NOW!

SUMMARY, YAY!

Adventure fields:
Pros:
-Ano...

Cons:
-slow to move through
-lame objectives
-boring, fugly people

Werehog Stages:
Pros:
-mindless, flashy fun
-Can watch Sonic run on all fours XD

Cons:
-too much button mashing
-brainless puzzles
-cheap deaths and CPU AI
-shield is practically useless
-suffers from unresponsive controls

Sonic stages:
Pros:
-classic running fun
-some cool new, and some classic, moves
-fun level design

Cons:
-SOME are short
-close-up camera
-having to stop to do jumping puzzles XP

Overall, this game is "Meh". It's probably the first Sonic game I've thought about tossing before completion, mostly due to the horrible jokes and corny story.

Oh, and did I mention, as the werehog you can perform exorcisms on people...with a camera. First "werehogs" and now this. I swear this game shouldn't be called Sonic Unleashed, it should be called "GhostBusters". Seriously, the only way for this game to make any sense would be to say it was all just some horrible erotic fantasy of Slimer's.

Gah, I think I've been watching too much of Yahtzee's Zero Punctuation.

My birthday's coming up, September 19th, W00T!

I'm working on a bunch of other random projects too. And hopefully I'll be more in the hentai mood now. XP

that is all...

I've had a ton of people asking me, so I finally got off my lazy ass and made myself an MSN Messenger account. I logged in and apparently 6 people already added me, so if you were one of them tell me who you are since I only see your email name.

Tell me here if you're adding me so I know who people are!

ACEN is almost here! Anyone else going to the biggest con in the Midwest? Me and 19 other friends have two rooms at the Embassy Suites; a king and an executive king. It's a bit expensive, but so worth it. We'll be having a large airsoft gun war in them Thursday night, and most likely another on Saturday. Sometime over the weekend we'll also be watching the new episode of Ninja Warrior on our laptops. Our friend Levi won the American Ninja Warrior competition and completely wipes the floor with everyone else on the Sasuke course, being the only person to make it to Stage 3 this season!

And it's official. Me and my friends will be doing bodygaurd work for Joey (Blondewolf2). After the recent death threat, things just seem a bit more hectic. Either way, I think it'll be fun. And of course it's always interesting to be around a youtube celebrity.

As for my Altair cosplay, it is about 90% done, just need to finish the weapons. I was at my friends house all last week, and we've been working on the costumes practically nonstop. Expect pictures to be up within the next few days.

Wooh, I finally found one all by myself, yay! XD

Anyways, they're stealing Ann-jey's work, she doesn't have an FA. Go kill this person!
 Ann-jey

Here's her real site on DA:
http://ann-jey.deviantart.com/

And if someone wants to tell me how to ban people, please do, cause I don't know myself.

Technically I've been on DA for almost two years now, but I hated the uploading system back then and didn't bother with it. I finally went back and started uploading stuff to it. Hopefully I can meet up with some more artists and friends on there now.

If you're on DA too, I'd appreciate it if you watched me on there as well, thanks.

FA's still my main home.

Alright, first off, you guy probably don't know this, but I have anger problems. It's usually alright, I'm a good guy, and I can keep control of those problems. but when something gets me REALLY angry, I will tear that shit up!

Right now, it's my scanner.

A few months ago it started having problems with the quality of pics when scanned. Ok, it wasn't that bad, I was fine with it. Then it started stretching out the pics horizontally so everything looked fat. Whatever, that just meant a little extra cropping and resizing, no big deal. Now? Today I finished a new avatar pic and a couple pics for some friends. I press the scan button and guess what? It won't fucking scan, PERIOD! No matter what I fix and what I try, it won't fucking scan! Not only that, but fucking Vista makes it so I get 5 different error messages at once for the SAME GODDAMN THING EVERYTIME!

Seriously, I called four friends right now asking if they had any appliances they didn't need. Because when I get like this I HAVE to either smash something, shoot something, or stab something. REALLY FUCKING BADLY!!! Usually the stabbing one (no gun, thank god). I already took one of my swords to our chair sitting in the garage for trash day.

...
I'm done with this shit. I'm going out tomorrow and buying a new one. Hopefully I'll have some new stuff up soon.

I'm sorry you guys had to hear that.

So I've been watching a lot of videos from Cloud8745 on youtube (hilarious commentaries of his game run-through guides). He started a run-through of the game "I Wanna Be the Guy". There's 26 vids in the series so far and they're epicly hilarious!

Have you guys heard of the "Super Mario Frustration" vids? Well it's like that, except Cloud really doesn't know where all the traps are...and DAMN there's a lot of them. Some so ungodly random it makes you want to kill yourself; such as death by apples, spikes, random flying spikes, and a giant Mecha-Birdo! I HIGHLY recommend watching them, but start with this one (make sure to watch the end):
http://youtube.com/watch?v=KnilY2RKRlg

So anyways, there's just so much comical potential from this, that I want to make a comic about it. Just thought I'd tell you guys. Nothing too special, probably B+W comics cause it's not supposed to be pretty, it's supposed to be funny.

But Seriously, I Wanna Be the Guy has to be the best worst game of all time. That's right, it's the best of the worst!

Comments? Suggestions? Has anyone else seen/played this game? (Tell me where to download it, I wanna play it to see how epicly I fail at it)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyntXLXgdGo

I officially suck at doing the dance. Eman's better at it.
Watch till the end.

So yeah, remember how I said I quit my job a few weeks ago? Well my friend got me a new one a few days later. A valet job! I was like "SWEEET" because my other friends do valet, and valet's make a shitload of money!

So here's the deal. I go in, set stuff up, wait for cars, then whenever it gets dead I leave, simple. We aren't payed hourly wages, all we get is the tips given to us. You may say "What the hell? That's bullshit!" but considering I made $152 in tips alone tonight tells otherwise.

Long story short...get into the valet business, if you're young and want a part time job.

HOLY SHNAPS, THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!

Oh, and here's a little something else for you cake bakers XD:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=FjDhpKPrzMs

Bleh, random shit going on around here right now, some good some bad. I finally quit my job at Target, couldn't take it, it sucked so much. So I need to look for a new job now, we'll see what happens.

In other news, me n my friends have had quite a bit of fun the last few days. It's been snowing a little bit, and tonight we had tons of freezing rain. We go out at midnight and everything is completely iced over! You know what that means...driftage! We took two cars, filmed everything, including times where we almost hit 3 trees and a few signs. Our motto is "If you're going to do something stupid, get it on film."

As far as art-wise, I've been kinda in a down-phase. I have a list of poses n stuff I wanna draw, but I just can't bring myself to do any of it right now. I dunno, we'll see how things go.

Current list of things to do:
1. Get new job
2. Draw more XP
3. Finish watching my Death Note torrent
4. Get remaining 7 acheivements for Assassin's Creed
5. Get in more driftage
6. Figure out how to scan such a large image for the orgy pic

Dat's all u get.

Well now that FA's finally up I can upload a couple new pics I've been waiting to put up (including a freaking Thanksgiving pic still, gah!) We just recently got a new computer, so I've been busy lately putting up all our old programs n everything.

The scanner/printer I use is an HP PSC 1510 All-in-One. I got it running fine, but everytime I scan a picture of mine, the dimensions are wierd; it squashes it vertically so the girl now looks slightly fatter, WTF?!

I've gone through the settings n stuff and I can't find a way to fix it right now. Any suggestions and help would be greatly GREATLY appreciated!

Me and my friend Eman dueling in Guitar Hero 3 on Cliffs of Dover. To note, we're not being serious, mostly because we were laughing the whole time we played. Watch to the end. XD
