  1. This is exactly what I deal with, my cousin's an idiot and got engaged to her psychopath boyfriend whom she's been with for about three months... she's 18, he's 26 and has bipolar disorder and no job. Although I've officially washed my hands of the matter and refuse to deal with her any longer, she insists that her family is doing wrong to her, taking the drama to Facebook by posting a longwinded status comment in order to stake her claim horribly immaturely. I also get horribly annoying invites to random games all the time, my list of blocked applications is miles long at this point.
  2. Nominating Best/Worst Incestuous Pairing. Best: Limstella. Worst: Sonia. Dishonorable mention for characters who have Ivy tits.
  3. It's not the conservatism of my family that bothers me, because clearly they haven't alienated me. Of course, I counter their anti-Obama posts with posts of my own, or sometimes I even add something educational, for example I posted how it was impossible to call Obama a Fascist and Socialist at the same time, something that was hinted at in a political cartoon a cousin posted. However, I am also subject to the "Family likes/comments everything" curse, which isn't the worst thing, but it gets annoying when they comment on the dumbest things. Sometimes they do post smart-ish things, but it just gets annoying after a while.
  4. This is kind of vague so I'm going to explain this topic with a personal anecdote. Most of my family is now on facebook. All of my first cousins on my mother's side, most of my father's cousins, and now my aunts and uncles are on facebook. I even have relatives in my grandparents' generation on facebook, but for somewhat personal reasons I am not friends with them. Anyway, I've got a lot of family on facebook and it's great and all to be able to talk to them while I'm away at school. but I have also come to a realization from seeing my family's posts. My family is extremely ignorant, offensive, and downright stupid. I just unsubscribed from most of them (because you can now do that, it's basically unfriending them without unfriending them), because their posts would make me cringe. Aside from the terrible spelling and grammar, which I would let go because, well, it's facebook, and there's a lot of them who have horrible grammar. But then they began to make posts that showed either blatant ignorance or just plain idiocy. One cousin posted a long-winded status about the separation of Church and State, believing that the two are inseparable, reinforced with a chorus of "Amen"s from her equally idiotic friends, when really her post made little sense and proved how uneducated she was really was. Others simply ask the dumbest of questions, questions that they should know the answer to. And no, this is not me being high-and-mighty, these are blatantly obvious answers. A second cousin posts offensive and ignorant photos that are Tea Party sponsored, greeted by a chorus of likes from my family and his ignorant friends alike (one of them posted a wonderful status the day after New York legalized same-sex marriage, that goes like this: "'In New York, concrete jungle where gays can marry'-Gay-Z"). One aunt insists on tagging herself in photos of her nieces and nephews for no reason. At this point others are tagging her in them. In fact, one cousin insists on not only tagging my aunt, but most of my cousins in pictures now! Why, I don't know. Mind you, this may be me being anal, however, I do have a key point. The point is, I've learned more about my family through Facebook than I have in my almost 20 years of being around them. And the learning isn't pleasant. So my question is, what is your opinion on family on Facebook, and do you think it changes the family dynamic/relationships? Discuss.
  5. Did you overwrite the map data? That may be the issue, you should find free space (or make it) and then put the new map there. when you remake the Ch1 map can you please get rid of the spirit forest, it's so annoying especially in drafts
  6. Voting Mariokirby this round. Great use of that pallette and a nice, clean, and fun-looking map.
  7. Strawman, with props to Feaw and AK~
  8. Dei's gets my vote, props to Crocket and Strawman for creative and clean splices as well.
  9. Nice to see a decent amount of entries. Yeah I was so stuck after the head. Oh well.
  10. Frankenstein's Monster. Nonetheless it's interesting, but I think the ear could afford some better shading. Especially with use of the first shade.
  11. I have the head done but not the body and I don't wanna do another shirtless guy, yet I'm doing Vincent from Catherine. And he's got the ram horns but I don't wanna do the shirtless body again. Ugh decisions.
  12. So do I, Cam. Especially when you use the two-length blade like the Wo Dao/Mani Katti/Sol Katti, because you need to work to make the hilt even and parallel. It sucks.
  13. Those two on horseback~ Still riding right along~ Those two who were lovers then became enemies and then just kissed "Shit. Shit. Shit. Fuck. Shit." Julius paced around the room. "Why the fuck did I just do that?!" Gabriel sat baffled. "Julius, I--" That one guy who needs to become useful Cameron entered the jail, parking the horse he rode on nearby. Not like he'd need it anytime soon. The jail was packed full with people. He learned why from one of the guards--some time ago the guild had attacked some of the arena fighters. He also learned an interesting piece of information about one of the people who had fought against the guild. "He had this sword. It was insane--it could turn into a whip and then retract into a regular sword." Cameron recognized the blade immediately. It was Julius. He grinned, and requested to speak to some of the guild members.
  14. Oh hey a weapon icon I've done 3 million times before. Got no name for it so I'll just call it Speed Sword.
  15. That is good, although the helmet's angle looks odd. But that's bust Narshen's horrible angle to work with. Thank you FE6. Voted L95 for this round, personally.
  16. Going for another Best/Worst Incestuous Pairing nomination. Most: Sigurd Least: anyone not named Marth Uh, Jeigan.
  17. Jan was one of the founding members of the Black Fang, alongside Brendan, Legault, Uhai, and the Reed Brothers. He's not that interesting but he is important.
  18. If you need help with Black Fang canon at all, honestly I am like a Black Fang scholar. They're my favorite group and I tried once (okay more like three times) to make a post-FE7 hack where Lloyd's sons took over. But this is pretty interesting. I wish you the best of luck.
  19. How do you make a halloween costume out of something that's already costume-y? I can't wait for the results. :3
  20. I really should try and enter these again. ._. Voted Solum for this round.
  21. That is awesome. Are you gonna do a custom animation or use Forblaze's? Also, which class will Alvis and Cyas be? I assume Sage and Bishop but you never know, because High Priest and Bishop were two separate classes in FE4/5.
