Kids, take care of your knees.

I don't think sitting at your PC requires a lot of leg work anyway.

Nah. My problem is though that I have a lot of errands to run next week and it becomes a project to go to the bathroom/kitchen.Dodgy

At least I have my computer.Heart It has always been around every time I've been handicapped.

RE: The Free Thread
I've spent the past 2 days transcribing a manuscript for a publication project of mine. In these 2 days I've probably actually slept about 5 to 7 hours total. I feel like crap right now. According to basic math I have transcribed 14,563 words from the original manuscript and I'd say I am roughly 1/3rd of the way through (and I have written close to 3,000 words of personal observations and theories regarding the manuscript). So, almost 20,000 words. 10,000 words a day just about.

My fingers feel all crampy.

3D or not-3D? From what I've heard I understand the 3D gunfight scenes are a little too real.

Did it have a thoroughly incomprehensible, ridiculous plot but still manage to be awesome through great performances and direction?

Non 3D. That caught me off balance when that happened.

At times yeah, but it still pulled through with a nice 9.5/10 for me. I'm jealous of the batman now.

RE: The Free Thread
I have a question so I guess I will post it here rather than start a thread for it, etc. (Sorry for derailing the Batman convo.)

How many folks here enjoy drawing? Doesn't matter what types of artwork, but really just things like people, machinery/vehicles, blueprints/diagrams/concepts, and the like? Nothing fantastic I mean, just sketching or doing things for fun. I wanted to take a show of hands and then see if anyone was interested in contributing some art/sketches/etc for the writing project I mentioned.

I don't want to get too far ahead of things here and talk about reimbursement (because I am entirely without income and attempting to do this to help me afford a new apartment) but really what I'd be offering you is some experience in illustrating and maybe let you have something cool to stick on a bullet point for design experience on a CV or portfolio or something. Smile I'll find a way to repay would-be free labor though.

My intentions are to release the book in the following ways:
- Amazon KDP eBook
- Audible audiobook w/ table read and commentary
- Downloadable collection of illustrated iconography from the story

I mean, I could (badly) sketch most of the things on my own -- in fact, I intend to contribute to the portfolio myself -- but I think one of the coolest aspects of any art book or compilation are the multiple styles and visions you get with multiple people.

So, I guess I'm just fishing to see if anyone's interested and if I could go ahead and post a thread later when I'm ready to roll things out.

He was well written and alot is laid out about him. I think he's a bit better than the comic as well since he nailed the part so good. I dunno if he's as good as Joker, but he definitely was pretty close.

Aww, but they have a tenuous link to Sierra! Maybe the Deadpool game will be a crossover with Space Quest 7.
