68. How about situations that make you love it?
In a way, the answer to the previous question. It's good to know that I have made a name for myself, and it's even better knowing people will kiss my because of it, especially the ones who used to bug me and haters.
69. What's the one thing that makes you grateful that the internet exists? That you can have an online gallery, and the ability to coomunicate with people without the phone or pony express.
70. Is there anything out there that makes you wish the internet didn't exist? Just about everything you do now when it comes to jobs and industry is done electronically, and unfortunately, if you don't own a computer and have internet, you're up shit's creek.

My one last wish is to play 'Russian Roulette' as we first kiss...
But as far as my back goes I’m unsure of any way to help it, I get woken up early in the morning sometimes around 5.00, and it’s not always because of a bad back, maybe sleep insomnia. need some work to loosen my back up, seems to loosen up with a bit of physical labor.
Oh I have been on holiday, that’s the great thing about being a freelancer, you choose your holidays! ^^
I bought Devil May Cry 1 online, just arrived this morning, it’s one of the first ps2 games that came out, and it’s still the best in the series, fun to play even with our new standards in games, you should play some of dmc, so, any games you have been playing on your ps3?
That's awesome, do you like work at some place or is your home your studio and live off your commissions?
Yeah DMC is a playstation classic, and I agree, the graphics look pretty good in my opinion... I need to get at beating the game one day
I started playing it years ago, but I got stuck real early in the game and put it down, haven't played it since.
I currently have no games for my ps3 unfortunately, but my friend was nice enough to lend me his Star Wars game. I keep telling myself I'll get around to it, but it's been a pretty kickass dvd player and I have been watching an assload of unopened anime I got awhile back. Ebay has all the games I want for real cheap, so when I make some money (which may be awhile) I'll go on a spree.
Good to see you're uploading some new stuff ^^
I wish I could live off commissions, there is a guy on Dev who advertises other artists, and I’m on there, but I don't get many, in fact I have only had 2!
My work is with my father, I help with any jobs I can, and he is a freelance handy man, so he gets odd jobs with anyone who needs things done on their houses etc.
Heh, DMC1 is hard, that is its only draw back, but I'm just very persistent with most games, and I eventually clock them all, only a couple I gave up on, and that’s because the last bosses were cheap as.
Well, your poor ps3 is waiting to show you It’s potential, You must get something to play! ^^
Well, 2's better than nothing! And if it were maybe a century or 2 earlier, you could.
And hey, working with your dad might actually be funner. At least you work with someone who cares about you and vice versa.
Ahh yeah true, I agree with you. I was ready to give up on Bloodrayne because of how annoying the boss was to fight, but on my last try, I beat it.
You're right, and I hate not having anything to play! >< I want SC4 in the worst way. I'ma try to bribe my friend into letting me borrow it or something lol.
Fraw anything new lately?
I know, having 2 is better than nothing...like having 2 heads is better than one.
Yeah, I guess so, work has run out though...probably because of the financial crisis.
Bah...I hate work and money anyway.
You must be bored, never played SC4, it looks cool, I love the character designs, and weapons look sweet, but fighting games get boring after awhile for me.
Anything new...well I been buying games all the time, can’t stop
I bought DMC4 on ps3 again as I used to own it, and for some reason I like it more now, (Highly acclaimed, fast paced, totally fun, and you have to love Dante and the new character Nero, there is some very fun grapple moves you can pull off in battles using Nero’s Devil Bringer arm, things like “grabbing enemies by the head and slamming them into the ground”
… I have the rare 60gig ps3 with the backwards compatibility, I can play most ps2 games, God Of War2-ps2 (classic and still the best of it’s style, brutal combat and well beyond most ps2 games in graphics).
Conan-360 (copycat of God Of War style, the game story sucks however, if you love brutal over the top action, and saving half naked girls, then it’s ok)
HellBoy The Science Of Evil-ps3 (HellBoy is still a funny wise ass, but the game play stays the same all the way through, not recommended for action lovers, I was disappointed with the end immensely, as I thought I was just fighting yet another dumb mini boss to advance to the next stage, and after the fight the credits rolled)
I been going back and playing others I own too, I have the best action games and the like so far,not many that i haven't tried, I'm not only into games with good stories, sometimes I settle for good gameplay and visual design, rather than only getting games with good stories.
How about you? as far as movies and games go, what catches your eye?
