The Fridge / Besides LBT, what are your biggest fandoms?
« on: October 14, 2009, 01:56:47 AM »
I am the pretty much biggest Metal music genre fan that ever existed. Apart from most Nu Metal and Extreme Death, I enjoy pretty much every kind of genre... but I love Symphonic Metal, especially the bands backed by female vocals, the voices are just so beautiful.

I'm also a big fan of Pixars movies, partly because they can entertain adults just as well as kids. And on that note, pretty much any cartoon or kids show that does just that.

I am also a devoted Warhammer 40K player, and Imperial Guard is my favourite army.  I remember when I bought the book just looking at the new Punisher stats made me drool.  Now, I have 3 of them in my Army  :)

Do you like making a horde army, a mechanized army, or a mixture?
Both  :lol

10 Leman Russes (3 Battle Tanks, 1 Demolisher, 1 Plasma Tank, 1 Punisher, 2 Exterminators, 2 Vanquishers), 3 Basilisks, 6 Sentinels, 2 Chimeras, 2 Hellhounds, 1 Banewolf and a Baneblade. I like tanks :DD

+ 80 infantry, 2 platoon command squads, 1 commander squad (+ advisors), 10 Storm Troops, 3 heavy weapon teams, Techpriest, 3 ogryns, tons of special weapons, and closets worth of spare bits.

I should post a pic, but I don't have a decent camera at the moment... and 95% of my models are unpainted, so it's not much of a sight.

Aha... I do have a pic of one of my heavy flamers... just try and picture my entire army looking kinda like that:


Except I don't think I'll be using matte varnish again... Ugh...

I've never played a game of WH40K, but I have read the Wikipedia and Tv Tropes page, and I'm slightly confused by one aspect: do you play as an individual character like in most tabletop RPGs? Or are you a small army composed of lots of pieces? I've never understood this.
A small army consisting of several units.

An army consists of 'units' and 'squadrons', with a unit usually having 10 or so models in it (some armies have more, like the Tyranids (the aliens) who can have up to 30 in certain units).

Each unit acts as one, so all the models in a unit will move together (they have to stay within an inch of one another), shoot together, assault together... and more than likely die horribly together  :lol

You also have heroes (known as HQ), that are usually one model with special abilities and typically good stats (such as being able to be shot multiple times before dying). The idea with these guys is to stick them into a unit to enhance their capabilities.

It works slightly differently for each race, but I can explain further if you want.

How did you get the idea for your series on youtube?
I walked into a videostore one day... and saw the entire LBT collection on a shelf. I thought to myself, 'Hey, I haven't seen those since I was a kid... and now they're up to 13?'

And then I watched them all in one sitting... hoo boy.

So anywho, I kinda enjoy YTP and parody videos... and I thought I would try my hand at making one... since I had video editing software lying around that I never use.

I draw inspiration from a lot of video sources, memes and general humour... most of my stuff is just made up from the top of my head.

How did you get the effect of Pterano playing an electric guitar?

I took an image of Pterano in a position most suited for him playing a guitar. Then I edited it so he was holding a guitar in his hand... I saved several images, each with him holding the neck at a different spot.

I cut off his head and other hand and put those directly into my video editing (Premiere) software so I could move them in each frame... so that it looked like he was playing the strings and bobbing his head.

How did you find the GOF?

Fans were talking to me about it, so I went and had a look... turns out it's a pretty nice little place, so I thought "oh, what the heck" and joined.

Is there any movies or pop culture references you haven't yet used in a video that you want to? (I've always All Your Base Are Belong To Us would fit somewhere).

I've done every reference I have wanted to do at the moment. Most of them are based on my current interests and general weirdness. For example, I stuck the WotWots (an obscure aussie childrens show) in my latest right at the end, and no-one will ever know  :smile ... Anywho, when Left 4 Dead 2 comes out, I'm going nuts with that...

You are interested in history? Is there a period of time or region of the world you are interested in in particular?
I took a course on Modern World History back in college. My personal favorite time is the early 1900's... A time when man was changing at an amazing rate. I have a huge interest in both World War I and II and the technology that was being developed and deployed at the time.

As for a region, well... Europe has a heck of a history going for it during that time.

Not sure if this is the right place... but I was just wondering if anyone is going to do the National Novel Writing Month challenge this year?

http://www.nanowrimo.org/

It's not really a contest... more of a challenge really. The objective? 50,000 words in 30 days, starting from November 1st to the 30th.

Attic Treasures / What are you reading?
« on: October 12, 2009, 08:01:31 AM »
Just finished Good Omens a few weeks ago, at the recommendation of a friend. I quite enjoyed it... more than I thought I would. Great novel for fans of Terry Pratchett or Neil Gaiman.

Currently I'm re-reading the Age of Fire series by E.E Knight... in anticipation for Dragon Rule in December. Quite a good series for fans of dragons.

Okay, so I have no idea how this works... so surprise me!
Go on, you know you want to... ask away.

My specialties are computers, creative writing, history, Warhammer 40k (Painting, modeling and game tactics), paleontology (Yes, I studied dinosaurs and stuff... go figure), cartoons and drawing... and some other stuff   :DD

Or, you know... you could just ask about me... or something.

Go on, go crazy... uh... just not too crazy.

I'm always a little busy... so I might not be quick to reply.

Ha ha, I wouldn't call myself a celebrity to be honest... unless making Youtube videos suddenly makes you famous.

I'm not here to plug my videos though or anything like that, so lets move on.

Hey, thanks for all the welcoming, it's good to see a forum with a sense of community spirit... I feel at home already  :DD

So, you're probably wondering why I gathered you all here... uh...

Hello, I'm JitteryDragon... comedian, video maker, and your new resident weirdo, I do hope I haven't just stolen that spot from someone else.

I don't really know why I'm here... I just am, for fun... I guess. You lot seem like nice folks, so we should all get along just fine and- HOLY BANNANAS YOU HAVE DINOSAUR EMOTICONS THAT IS AWESOME- uh... please excuse that short moment of excitedness.

Now, where was I?

Great... now I've forgotten.  <_<

Carry on...
