  1. Help an author, help a child, help an industry.

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have a friend who is an author.

    She authors children's books published within the comic book industry.

     

    The childrens books she publishes involve woodland animals and convey a good moral lesson. They're fun, they're creative and they aim at encouraging young kids to read, learn some valuable lessons.

     

    Her newest book is being plagued by the comic book industry's slump right now and her orders for the book are coming in pretty low. If this happens, then it axes any possibility of another book aimed at the same audience and educational goals from being published in the future from the publisher.

     

    The books are GREAT and those with children really connect with their kids when reading through these really fun characters. I helped with this current book a little bit by helping her concoct one of the main supporting characters...."Pat the beaver." :) (SERIOUSLY, I named it "Pat" PURELY because that's what a beaver's tail does....and really did NOT know about the "other" connotation until after it was published and she told me "hell YEAH I kept it in there...parents'll get a kick out of it!"

     

    It's a great book from a great author with a great aim.

    Check it out.

     

    The book goes for $12.99 through Amazon, BUT through this tinyURL, you can order it direct from the comics distributor, delivered to your door, for the discounted retailer's price of only $7.99!

    Hi everyone!

     

    Helping a friend out here:

     

    Anyone interested, or anyone know someone who would be interested, in adopting two sibling cats from an owner that can no longer care for them due to work schedule?

     

    Check it out, pass it forward through your email or Facebook friends, and if you do, work it out.

    The cats are nice, the person giving them away is nice...just wants to give the cats a good, loving home: http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/pet/1552087001.html

     

    Thanks!

    EXACTLY.....

     

     

    I went to check it out. They are all recruits and there spamming this BS here. It was all fine and dandy when Tow ran UF ;) . But this shit is just annoying seeing it at the top of the unread posts everyday. Kinda like when CDBS was posting every 2 mintues before people told him to chill out...lol

     

    hopefully itll be over soon ::)

     

    Aww, c'mon now.....

    Am I that bad a guy? I thought I spent some good, quality time playing nice host to you and your lady when you came in to visit last year.

    Do you not have any tolerance for me now? I don't think I've wronged ya, have I? (Bad memory, though, so maybe I did...who knows....) ;)

     

    If this is annoying, UF can always ask that this cease and desist, and I'll be quick to comply.

    Really. It's not an issue for me.

    Otherwise, I don't know....you can opt NOT to click on it.

    The icon button next to it just says "New," it doesn't say "Hey Strick, this is NEW, and yeah it's annoying and not fine and dandy anymore, but you must click on me anyway...and you just don't...know...why!"

    The power of non-annoyance is in your hands as always! As with anyone.

     

     

    Or...if you were just joking along with it.....then no biggie....and "hello!" :)

    But you know, that's what I miss about Socom. HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE. NO TEAM SWITCHING. If you had a territory, it was YOURS. This is why the tacmap was so BEAST. Not only was it long and gruesome, but you had to play maps like Antenora Breach Seals. It gave us a challenge that Confrontation hasn't given us. When you were attacking, you were always at a huge disadvantage because the home team knew how to play the map. It made Socom fun. Annoying, but fun. It took real teamwork and strategy to win any map where you're at a massive disadvantage.

     

    LOVE IT. 8)

  23. What was your first UF?

    My very first UF tourney.....hmmmmmmmm...........LOL

     

    I remember UF1. It was a magical day.

    "State of the Union" it was called.

    Still have my State of the Union tourney t-shirt from that listing all of the participating clans on the back.

    It was a hell of a scary time throwing a new tourney out there and the worry that Sniper and I, along with Demo (the other third original creator) had about hoping EVERYONE was going to love it. What a immature and ignorant worry. LOL Back in the time when we thought we COULD please everyone.

    Once we got over that thought, things became a lot easier for us mentally as the years went on.

     

    My favorite tourney as a player would have to be UF3 where my clan, then named A Perfect Circle, went 30+ weeks in first place before the tourney got shut down. It was a hell of a run and one I do not believe was duplicated, though there have been some monstrous clans come to UF since then as well. After that, we limited the number of weeks of a tourney to 12 or so, so I don't know if that record will ever be challenged. Be fun to see it get challenged, though. :)

     

    My favorite tourney as a creator would have been The Horsemen tourney. We've run TACMAPs forever. Black, forever. Did a charity tourney in which players from all clans were randomly teamed up to work with one another.....but Horsemen, I thought Horsemen was such a GREAT idea, my favorite I came up with out of all the tourneys. Sounds weird, maybe, with all the storylines and game mechanics that Sniper and I came up with through the years together....but Horsemen was kinda "my" baby from concept to hand-off (to Sniper for its design). I loved the idea of ONE guy being valued over all others and what each team would do with that player. LOVE it. If the new administration here will ever run another Horsemen tourney or another like it, I would very much like to feel that adrenaline rush that everyone else was talking about when being the Horseman. I never felt that when the tourney launched and played out.

     

    And lastly, my favorite match.....and I think most know this (and it was mentioned above), was the motherF'n epic battle between my then-clan, A Perfect Circle, vs. Stormwatch on Copperhead Demo.

    Twenty-eight friggin' rounds, deadlocked in a 1-1 round tie until APC finally broke it up with a great effort of team play and a scramble, last minute (but more like last SECONDS), to get a kill of a hiding gunner that gave us the win. Both clans were basically saying "thank god we won" and "thank god we lost" just because players wanted to eat/sleep/fuck/jerk-off/piss/shit/rip-their-hair-out or whatever the hell they wanted to do that they couldn't do because they were caught up in an unexpected 3.75 hour war!

    That was was longer than a friggin' director's cut version of Lord of the fucking Rings! LOL

    Credit to both teams for not wanting to give up and for making a match SO grueling, SO nailbiting that not ONE gunner from either team wanted to be that one kill that would tip the tide of the war. Memorable for so many reasons, and one of the milestones of affection I've had for Urgent Fury ever since.

     

    Speaking of stories and Stormwatch.....there was also this one time when this dude pulled down his pants for everyone.......... ;)

     

    Ahhhhh, thanks, UF, for this li'l trip down memory lane.

    It was a nice one.
