its funny how everything becomes easier when you have drawn it once i spend lot of time with that previous mech. and did this one under 15 minutes. its a sketch of quadroped.

That looks like when people try to emulate dinosaurs or whatever using their hands. The middle finger being the head, and the other four being the legs.

I bought my first aghs on Treant Protector today, and boy that became the most fun I've had in a long time. There's something weirdly satisfying about turning the entire enemy jungle into a trippy green disco floor.

Give the player psychological reasons, like getting terrible guilt about violating the tenets of his religion, which causes penalties. The higher his piety/rank/whatever in the religion the worse the guilt/penalties. Let them cleanse that guilt by dunno, donating or sacrificing or whatevs.

Also make the social consequences higher the more notoriety or something the character has. So, anyone who belongs to a religion (and doesn't get killed before being able to tell someone) can tell on the player, but if the player is just some nobody then no one is going to remember his actions anyway.

The player is a member of a noble family in their starting civ, so it would be a little hard to be a nobody, except if you're far from home or something.

I fall into this category. I fall into it so bad some times I force myself to finish games just to break the chain.

Notables on the list are Rainbow 6, Dishonored, Thief, several of the Command and conquers, Fallout 1 and 2, and Magicka. It isn't even a loss of interest most of the time... I am not sure what it is. Maybe it is that idea that once you beat it you don't have it to look forward to anymore?

Magicka is the only game that I have completed recently, and that's only because I was playing with some other people. I find that sandbox games in particular keep me from finishing. In Skyrim, what's the point of questing if I'm not gearing up to defeat Alduin. In Just Cause 2, why do I need to keep blowing crap up if I'm not trying to cause enough mayhem to unlock the next mission?
Actually, thinking on it some more, I have completed one sandbox game, and that was Saints Row 3. The open world isn't horribly exciting, so the missions are the best things going for it. I even decided to create a new character and replay the story, which I'm nearly done with again.

This is awfully generous of you, Neyvn. I'd also like to be signed up for magicite, if I could.

Expressions are indeed fun

-snipped in a grumpy fashion-

Are those from anything or did you randomly make them? I love the style!

They're from his game.

If this was all a cleverly orchestrated plug, then color me impressed. (kidding of course)

Finished my placement matches, ended up at around 2.5k MMR, not sure what that means but eh, a fairly high number.

I think it's because I mostly played the carryhard bastards and got some nice teams too. Incidentally out of the three matches I lost (or was it two, not sure) two were the draft games :S

That 's a pretty solid starting mmr. I started at 2700 (currently 2900), but I only started playing ranked when I was around level 50 or so. I've stopped playing ranked because I find it a lot less fun than normal match making. The stress of knowing "this is going to have a visible effect on my mmr, don't screw up" (as useless as that number truly is) sucked the majority of the fun out for me.
