RE: Profile Pic
G. G. Allin, the notorious punk rocker who alway took things way too far. Famous for coming out on stage naked, smashing himself in the face with the microphone, diving into the crowd, punching and fighting his audiance, then taking a shit on stage and hurling it into the crowd. He was so extreme he made me question my own beliefs in anarchy. To be honest, I was scared to go see him live. I don't want to be beat up and I also don't want shit thrown at me. lol. He did tear down any wall he saw. He left behind some good tunes. Fuck Authority is a great song. Some of his songs are very, very, disturbing though. He made a great acoustic album that I love called Carnival of Excess, all these nihilistic punk songs set to a country, honkey tonk sound. Are you familiar with Carmalita by Dwight Yokum? You hear it on the radio some time, the chorous goes, "Hold me closer, Carmalita, for I believe I'm sinking down,  Because I'm all strung out on heroin on the outskirts of town." His cover of that is better than the original. He threatened to come out on stage with a gun and kill himself, not before taking out a few fans as well. And indeed, some of his demented followers would come to his shows hoping he would execute them. But in the end, like so many rock stars, he ended up overdosing on heroin.

Re: Hey
It has a lot more personality now. I figured that you had a pasta nominated for POTM before, first time huh, well congrats! Even if it doesn't fare well against the others (it should in my opinion) at least it is getting proper exposure now. Attack on Titan huh? I still haven't seen that one, I'm currently watching Fate Zero myself. You might like Noragami because of the swordsmanship and humor that it has, but you should definitely check out WataMote. You'll either love it and relate to it or be disgusted and find it cruel. Anyway, yeah, I like your page more. Buckle up!  I'm going to be popular!  23:59, July 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * Sure, I'd be happy to give it a read. It'll be a few hours before I get the chance to go through it (I want to read it all in one sitting without distractions).


 * I have a list of all the anime I've seen here: http://myanimelist.net/animelist/greenvroom if you'd like to look through it for ideas on what to watch. If you click on their names, it'll take you to another page that gives you a brief synopsis of what the anime is about. Death Note is a good one, it's actually the first main anime I watched that wasn't Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh. If you want, give me your email and I'll send you a list that I have made up of my top 13 favorite anime. If I were to post it here, it'd destroy your talk page. The list goes into detail on what the anime are about and what I liked about them, I even use gifs to break up the list that way it isn't bland. By the way, if you want a strange and pervy anime that isn't porn, you should watch Plastic Nee-san, you can watch the whole thing on YouTube and it's only 28 minutes long. Highly weird and funny. Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular!  00:57, July 10, 2015 (UTC)

RE: CAT
Well, once the protagonist saw the note I knew that the cat didn't write it and that a person was responsible. Before that it mentions that he would come home sometimes and the door would be unlocked, so I just put two and two together. Then the cat turns out to be an android, so yeah...

Calling 911 and saying that your cat is an android is a good way to get hung up on. If the police did come they would probably think you were nuts and that the fleshy robo-cat was probably your doing. They'd at least take you down to the station for questioning.

Then we get to the end where you overexplain everything, and yet we are left with so many questions. We don't need to know exactly how the cat worked, nor a play-by-play of how the antagoist did everything. It was almost like a Scooby Doo ending. But why was the knife bloody? Was it from cutting the cat open? If so, why wouldn't the guy wipe it off? And why come back to leave a note if the protagonist hasn't been home for three days? I get that the cat was broken, but any good stalker would know that the protagonist wasn't around to get the note. And why "joke's on you?" Was it just a prank? Is this really what someone with experience in robots would be doing with their spare time?

In hindsight, I think it's a fun story, but if you could iron out the problems it could be much better. Umbrello (talk) 18:31, July 13, 2015 (UTC)

I'm noticing a few very minor errors in your story
Like "and" instead of "an" and Mommy capitalized and then not capitalized (if it's being used as a name, which it is, it should be capitalized). Do you want me to fix them for you? HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 20:42, July 14, 2015 (UTC)

I edited it the way I would have written it. If you don't like the edits you can just change it back. I don't know about the hyphens here: "half-says-half-whispers" but I'll leave that up to you. Just to show you what I mean with the Mommy thing, this line is correct: "Save your dear daddy" because it is your daddy, which is daddy as a thing, not a name. So, "my mommy said" is correct but "mommy said" is not. I hope I'm making sense. lol. I wouldn't capitalize DIE here: "Daddy will DIE" but that's a personal preference and I'll leave that up to you. "Alright" is technically not a word and all professional editors will insist you use "all right". I don't usually edit pastas, as I feel it is up to the writer, but since you asked me to look it over I went ahead and did. Like I said, if you don't like them you can change them back. Great pasta, by the way. HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 21:21, July 14, 2015 (UTC)

Re Edits
If I can remember correctly, yes, I did fix one tense mistake where you slipped into past tense. Belgium, huh? Are you European? Where do you live? If you don't mind me asking, that is. HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 17:50, July 17, 2015 (UTC)

Re What about you
I live in the southern part of Humboldt County, California, amidst the towering redwoods, with my wife and two children, in an off-grid cabin on a forty acre homestead/farm. We are about ten miles from the ocean. These woods were settled by back to the land hippies back in the late sixties and early seventies and my land was part of a big hippy commune called S.F.P. or Shit Fuck Piss. They called it that because the dirt road in was so bad that they'd all be banging their heads on the roof of the their VW buses and cursing, "Shit! Fuck! Piss!" A bunch of the old timers still live on the adjacent properties, crazy Vietnam Vets and wild super hippies. Yesterday they were blowing shit up. KA-BOOM!! lol.

That is very fascinating about Europe. I lived in Amsterdam for about five months, way back in the nineties when I was a wild free spirit. I've backpacked over much of Europe, the U.K., France, Italy, Germany, Greece. I ran with the bulls in Spain (whoa, what a party that is, absolute craziness), rode a gondola through the canals of Venice, went to raves in Berlin, island hopped Greece.

New Pasta
*Pokes with a stick* Are you working on anything new? Buckle up!  I'm going to be popular!  20:22, July 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok. I'm all caught up on the newest ones, ought to go back through the old ones then. I read Ignorant Piece of Crap a while back per your request, I just didn't have any specific comments or feelings about it (I've been feeling a bit guilty about not leaving any comments on it as I've been worried that you think that I didn't read it). I'm not a feely type of person, so feelpastas don't really do anything for me. It was well-written and grammatically correct, the twist was original and the moral of "be greatful for what you have" was a good one.


 * Thank you, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. It means a lot to me that you liked it :) By the way, don't you know Japanese? I've been trying to learn Hiragana and am going to study Katakana after that. I don't know about Kanji though, that looks freaky hard XD Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular!  06:52, July 23, 2015 (UTC)

Arigato Sensei
Thanks for the very long and informative post, it's much appreciated. I'd noticed that about Kanji resembling pictures before, I'm glad that you pointed that out so that I know I'm not crazy XD Do you know why the Japanese share some of the Chinese language? Japanese started out as a speaking language only and then at some point they thought "Oh shit, we need to write all of this stuff down" and they ended up learning and using Kanji to write with. Afterwords they made Hiragana and Katakana for the sake of having something simpler and more of their own. I've picked up quite a few words from watching anime: thanks, sorry, master, teacher, student, date, internet, yes, what, and hello (telephone greeting).

I bookmarked the PDF you sent me, that will definitely come in handy. Here's the site I've been using: http://www.japanese-language.aiyori.org/introduction.html I haven't put that much time in it yet, but I remember how to write "a" and "i", maybe even "n". All I've really studied so far were the numbers -which I fully remember up to ten- and the vowels; all in Hiragana. I fully intend to give it my best shot :)

I hope you had fun in Japan! I really would like to take a trip there, maybe even move there depending on what I learn about the laws, rules and such.

Thanks again best cat! Buckle up!  I'm going to be popular!  16:36, July 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah, I'd absolutely put a lot of thought into a decision such as moving there. I'd be sure to visit first, I certainly wouldn't want to move there and end up being a burden. It's good to hear that they aren't racist or awful to foreigners and just try to help, I wish everyone was like that. The one thing that is really a turn on for me is that vehicles are scarce from what I've seen, it's more walking based (I dislike driving). Now, I could be completely mistaken about that, but I've gotten the impression that cars aren't a necessity, walking and trains are the normal way of getting around.


 * Anyway, it's more of a for fun thing for me. I doubt that anyone in my small town can speak Japanese, it'd be neat to know something that others didn't. I've even thought about translating my pasta into Japanese. Just knowing Japanese would be its own reward to me. Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular!  07:29, July 24, 2015 (UTC)

Otis Firefly of Rob Zombie's House of a Thousand Corpses and The Devil's Rejects, two of the greatest movies ever made. If you like campy horror, gore, dark humor  and plain incredible film making I strongly recommend you watch them. HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 19:33, July 24, 2015 (UTC)

I like irony though, so that's why Vroom Vroom works. I read your pasta and left a comment, in short, I liked it. Buckle up!  I'm going to be popular!  01:30, July 25, 2015 (UTC)

The Firefly Family is not the Adams Family
The Adams Family are spooky and kooky; the Firefly Family are brutal Satan worshiping rapists and serial killers. lol. Seriously, I feel I should give you a warning that The Devil's Rejects will leave you feeling dirty. You will probably want to take a shower afterwards. Think  Texas Chainsaw on crystal methamphetamine with all that seventies exploitation horror like I Spit on Your Grave, Last House on The Left and The Hills Have Eyes piled on like shocking and disgusting condiments. But the film making and acting is just superb. Jaw dropping shots done in this kind of comic book horror fashion with an incredible soundtrack of seventies music.

To answer your question. No, I have never hosted a contest. I have thought about it. A werewolf contest or an NSFW contest would be my style, but I'd probably want to compete then! Yeah, but having to judge all those stories would be difficult. I don't give number scores to the stories I review. Sometimes it's just apples and oranges, you know? I try to point out what I liked, kindly show what I didn't like, and then give my overall impression. Putting a number on a story and saying which one I like better just isn't my thing. It's got to be hard; look what Banning did, he just picked four stories he liked, gave them all an 80/100 and let Grim's score pick the winner. I guess he feels he doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But then why host a contest if you are not prepared to say which one you like better?

And now onto shameless self-promotion. I'm planning on reading your entry in the contest today and leaving an in depth review; I'd love to hear what you think of mine. ;) HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 20:31, July 27, 2015 (UTC)

I've Got Two
Yeah, I've got two in the works. One is about a prisoner with an unsettling cellmate and the other is about a prison in which the prisoners vote on who gets taken away (those that get voted for are never seen again). It's a bit of a difficult time for me right now as I have a bunch of ideas bouncing around, but am lacking direction in terms of finishing them. Gotta keep coaxing my brain to finish the stories.

 * They both started off as the same pasta, but some of the ideas were too different to work together. I was reluctant at first in regards to splitting the pasta in two, but I felt that both stories would be different enough and I was happy with the idea of being able to use both endings that I wanted to tell. Thanks, will do. Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular!  16:17, July 28, 2015 (UTC)

I do have an English degree
Thanks so much for noticing. One thing I did when researching The Number of Darkness was write down any old-timey and antiquated words I thought might be interesting. The original pasta was filled with them but then I edited almost all of them out because it became distracting and I didn't want to lose my readers, but I still managed to keep the tone and cadence of that time period. If you are interested, I based my story on this fascinating story of The Cooper family. Check out this chapter from this history book published in 1885. https://archive.org/stream/indianwarsofnort01bled#page/182/mode/2up  Did you ever watch The Devil's Rejects?

RE:
Damn, the cat pics on this talk page distracts me a lot: so cute.

Anyway, talking about graphic design, I know some apps that you may use. Of course, Adobe Photoshop (raster) and Illustrator (vector) don't go out of the list; I would recommend CS5 Extended than CS6, I don't know why, but CS5 seems better.

If you don't have that much money, I know some alternatives, and they're so free (although you may donate). First is GIMP -- any version, but I recommend the latest. However, if you're used to use PS, then you may find it hard, but it's a great alternative, I promise. Second is Paint.NET. It's less complicated than GIMP and PS, but it lacks some features (I'm afraid you must use plug-ins to extend its usage). However, it's still very subtle, very easy to use.

If you need some tips, don't be afraid to ask.

 Ruckus Q uantum   10:36, July 31, 2015 (UTC)


 * I felt honored when you said you showed my works to your teacher. About the designs, I more of design my own fonts than download it. But sometimes, when in a rush, I download fonts from the net, and heavily modify it so it won't look like the original. And sometimes, very rarely, I feel lazy and just do it.


 * As I say, there are many ways to design something. My most common methods of designing are creating my own fonts (they're for personal use; not for download), downloading someone's font and aesthetically altering them, mixing up two alike fonts (so they would vary), and creating fonts using polygonal lasso (pen tool sometimes, if I need to do curves) -- filling them up -- or using brush (like what I did to Cleric's).


 * And have you seen differences on CS6? Because I did: the UI. I don't know, maybe I'mjust used to CS5.


 *  Ruckus Q uantum   14:26, July 31, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, I drew Cleric's with my bare bands. I get insiration somewhere else: I search for a random font, and when I found it, I would use as a reference for my personal fonts.


 * Insipiration is everywhere, my friend. Actually, I once used cockroach legs to create a font (yet it ultimately failed); another one was a logo of a Silent Hill game. Homecoming? Shattered Memories? I dunno, but it's something like that.

RE:
The closest thing we've had to that would probably be the wordmark contest thing. It seems like it could be a very good idea, I know at least one user who is into designing art for their stories, so it would probably get a bit of interest. First, it would probably be better to hold off until September, as Blacknumber's freestyle contest is going to take place some time in August, and a couple of users have expressed interest in running contests this month. Second, to clarify something for me, do you yourself do creepy art? I would think that having at least one judge who produces art would be necessary. Thanks :) 16:44, July 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll need to talk it over with the other admins, but it does seem like it could be a good idea. We'll probably contact you closer to the time (feel free to message me at the start of September if I haven't contacted you, my memory is not the best). 17:13, July 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * I've just talked with Jay, and apparently there aren't any contests scheduled for August, so it may be possible for it to happen sooner. However, since (from tomorrow) both me and Empy will be away, I'm going to ask you to wait until about half-way through the next month. Thanks :) 17:37, July 31, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah sure, I'll do it! I'm not the best at interpreting art, but I'll give it my best shot. Just hit me up around a week before the contest with the specifics (this month is an interesting one for me as I am in the process of seeking employment).

All jokes aside, I really hope your contest gets approved. It'd be nice to have something else on the front page other than text, so it was a good idea to at least suggest that the winner gets to be on the front page. Good luck on the contest, you can see by my art skills that I won't be entering in it. By the way, if you need another judge or a third opinion, I'd be willing to help.

Although I'm flattered you like my piece, I don't really want to submit it though, it was really just a joke, lol. By the way, I think I'd prefer for my story Fourth Wall to be displayed on the blog. It's not that I don't like Metahumans, but Fourth Wall is more recent and I like it a bit more. Thanks!

Suggestions...
Thanks. Good thing you liked the thing I did for you. I think you must shrink the picture a little bit, so everyone may see the whole detail.

About the card: The card looks really fancy. My suggestions are: 1. Don't smudge the letters; they totally look out of place. It's a card, remember? Not a painting or anything you may come up with. 2. Smoothen the edges (it's very obvious, isn't it?) 3. Align the letter A -- the bottom thing -- with the rest of the BLCK. That way, letters have some connection with each other.

If you're really desperate to smudge out your works, don't set it above 10%. Ten percent below will give your works a subtle touch; a nudge effect. And don't and never blur anything, unless it's needed or required, or if you want a watery effect.

Of course, I have some font suggestions. I'm curious about the font you used, but anyway, these are fancy designer fonts -- subtle but awesome:

Serif: Optimus Princeps, Constantine, Edition,Znikomit, Euphorigenic, Top Modern,Endmundsbery Serif, Livia Medium, and Sexsmith.

Sans-serif: Bebas Neue, Big Noodle Titling, Tall Dark and Handsome, Kenyan Coffee, Dolce Vita, Nova.

I think that's all I can suggest you. Do you feel awkward being lessoned by a 14-year old. Because I somehow feel awkward teaching someone older than me.

 Ruckus Q uantum   09:44, August 4, 2015 (UTC)

Seems legit
I like the idea, even though I am by no means an artist and will likely not participate. I will say that the biggest issue could come through timing and such, seeing as how other users are interested in doing contests. I will say that yours should be fairly easy to keep on the back burner, and I do agree that it doesn't seem like it would interfer with other challenges that may pop up.

Right now, with Travis on vacation, it's just harder for us to green light projects. Plus Underscore just stepped out for a week to take some time off, so it's pretty much just me and Jay at the moment. I would suggest being patient and waiting until everyone is back full time, so that we can discuss and plan out how we would want the contests to line up.

When I ran my Demon/Devil contest, I told Travis and the other admins about it way in advance, and pretty much just asked them to let me know when I could go live with it. That ensured that there were no other contests running at the same time, and allowed the most focus to go into the contest that I proposed. This might be a good method for you to consider as well.

Best of luck with this. I always support user's creativity here, so as long as everyone else is on board, I see no issues.

Oh yes...
I'm 14. Problem? Everyone was shocked when I declare I excelled at PS.

I was browsing the internet when I came across GIMP. I studied GIMP for some months, then I moved on to PS. I studied PS for two years approximately. After PS, I moved to Paint.NET, and so on until I came back again to PS. It's very hard at first, but as you progress, it gets easier, less frustating, and more rewarding.

Lol, got two spades. Didn't see it coming.

Re: Art Contest
Sorry for the delay. It looks good so far. Only a few things I want to address: "If you must include nudity, keep it to a minimum." Unfortunately out ToU doesn't really allow nudity of any type. (I know some has slipped by, but it'll be better to avoid grey areas as it'll cause drama if some images slip by while others get deleted.) Additionally, I would stress the importance of posting their images into your contest blog (at a predetermined size) as it'll be hard to track it all down otherwise. You might also want to mention that the image will be featured on the main page for a month and won't be a permanent fixture.

That being said, I don't see too many issues and like the idea of seeing some interesting designs/drawings. I will have to have a quick word with the other admins to make sure I didn't overlook anything. I'll try to get in contact with them today. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 17:30, August 5, 2015 (UTC)
