Stuff that could only possibly be relevant to me

Wed Nov 4, 2009, 5:13 PM
(unless its relevant to you)



Seems my computer (or laptop, actually), in addition to being completely out of memory, is thouroughly infested with viruses as well. (Where do I get my membership card?) Like, I'm fighting through "you've been infested" pop-ups just to type this. And apparently my anti-virus program has been replaced with some sort of bizare "evaluation" software that will DETECT viruses but not REMOVE them unles I pay them something. (I've never trusted anti-virus software. I bet it's another virus, too. (In fact, I'm almost SURE it is.)) Anyway, internet use is becoming quite unpleasent, primarily because every two minutes or so I get redirected to any one of a number of random pornography sites. Disgusting. (To say the least.)

So, I'm afraid to all you folks to whome I owe any kind of artwork... I probably won't have it done. For quite some while. I'll be able to get online at public computers, perhaps, but my laptop alone holds my art programs and what not.

Apologies. :(


(I'm not even gonna bother trying to fire up Word to spell-check this thing. That would take an extra half hour.)

Send one to all your friends who you think deserve a hug (which, hopefully includes the person who sent it to you)!!

You might send it to your enemies as well!
It'll really make them stop and think!!!

While I'm certain you've seen the new trains on Spirit Tracks, I've not heard or seen anything in regards to them. I love seeing your opinions on this stuff, so what say you? Here's the link if you need it:

:iconatticus-w:
Ahahaha, well, actually, I only heard about the recent Spirit Tracks update the other day or so, and most of that artwork you just posted is new to me! It's kind of an... overwhelming lot of developments lately. I'm rather frazzled about the villain being a locomotive (honest to bloody goodness-- what IS it with people and sentient trains? XD), but then-- I rather doubt that that thing is an actual "train" (as opposed to some weird demon thing masquerading as one). The boiler (of said villain) is awfully weird-looking (I sense gadgets spinning all around it). Though the engine itself does look quirkily typical of modern Japanese steam. :D

On the other hand, it’s way too cool to see some artwork of the trains we already knew about. I guess the folks who predicted the coexistence of the wooden and metal trains were right. And I’m rather delightfully surprised that the barrel train has gained a crosshead thanks to its artist. :D And the huge guy hanging out with Link is a surprise... be he an older engineer? A fireman?

The art of the metal 0-4-0 and its train is really nice... the coal car at the END of the train is rather curious. XD

The fire-belching torpedo/Bullet Bill gets no comment. XD (Actually, I lied, it does: do these things ram Link’s train or something? XD)

Wow, that was a rant... but hey, you asked. :D

:iconwirelesswizard64:
Yes, quite so. As for the villainous locomotive, I see it being something like the Ghost Ship from PH- it even appears to have the multiple eyes on the boiler. Like you said, I believe it to be some demon incarnation- the title is Spirit Tracks, after all. I'm not sure how a locomotive can threaten a kingdom though. The fact that it has a cowcatcher is a nice touch- I've always had a thing for them, I wish Link's engine had one. XD

The tender at the end is strange. I can almost see them making it a minigame to get back there, grab a shovel of coal, then make it back to toss it in the firebox without messing up. I say this in jest, but they better move the tender to where it should be. It's awkward as to where it is now.

The fiery engine looks like the demon spawn from Hell. I thought this was a kids' game. It could be one of those bosses you fight multiple times throughout the game (that never seems to die- Lord Bulbin, anyone?)

And that's my take. This game gets more and more curious an strange- definitely one I'll have to play.
