Ask Ducky123, if you want :)

I'd want to be a Fastbiter. They are... for some reason I like them

Their hunting strategy (hunting in packs) is really cool and they are pretty fast. Working in a team would be lots of fun.

You know those things you'd really like to be good at but just... aren't? Something you're bad at but still keep trying it simply because you're drawn to it?
Do you have something you wish you were better at?

Ducky123 · **Reply #82 on:** January 17, 2014, 02:14:16 PM

Yes, there are quite a few things TBH

Drawing (would love to have the skill to animate)
Playing the piano
Ehh, getting girls to like me
Could use some more writing skills ( though I can't complain about my current level of skill )
English (well, mainly speaking english is the issue )

Good question

Just for fun, here is a question based upon the events in my fanfiction:

If you were the gang, what wish would you make on the "Stone of Cold Fire"? Or would you decide to leave the stone alone and not make a wish?

Ducky123 · **Reply #84 on:** January 17, 2014, 07:37:39 PM

Well, (from MY point of view): the outcut scenes.
Now to the Gang: No arguments, hatred and lying anymore. I think they'd be quite possible to come up with something like that

My holidays are not yet over but I can already tell they've been great.

I'm really excited to answer that one
Writing: I love writing love scenes (kept in an appropriate, T-rated, setting of course). Just some random dialogue is also nice because, mostly, I come up with great ideas as I write them. The most difficult kind of situations are fights. I haven't used this too much in my fics yet though, when I was writing yesterday, I wrote such a dark bit (a rather brutal fight) that I had to ask people whether I should do it the dark way or leave out the descriptive and violent parts... I was amazed how... well it came out and I can't wait to upload that chapter (only 20 other to upload first meh )
While I'm at it, I'll publish my second fic on Monday, the Prologue might come even earlier...
I think you can guess which character I like most to write about

Drawing: Before I start, I have to announce there is some new art coming soon
I like to draw Ducky, obviously, but lately, doing a sort of project (that doesn't go too well, sadly), I discovered that Petrie is fairly easy to draw... I so much would love to be able to draw pictures for animation or at least to be able to draw them without reference... I'm aware of the fact that practise and patience is the key but for both I have hardly time on school days

Whatever... Thanks for the question, Strut!

Interesting!

I don't feel I've been inclined to writing lovey-lovey stuff. I mean, I love a good heartthrob as much as the next hopeless romantic, but I've never really delved into that genre. Lol oh yes! Keeping the, erm, 'loving' down is imperative for me. I can't really stomach smut or really strong 'lust' *shiver* makes me blush and feel sick

Fight scenes... now those are things I have trouble with. I strive to walk that line between all-out blood bath (ergh, something else I can't bring myself to write) and simple muggings. I tend to go for what's happening in one's mind during the conflict

psychological is the way to do!

Ooh! Intrigued, I am! I am, I am!

Drawing without reference takes time (you're talking to someone who still has yet to master it XDD), but I wish you luck!
You are quite welcome^^

You mentioned in the "How's the Weather" thread that you enjoyed snow. I can relate to this as I love snow as well, although the excessive amount of snow my region has seen this year has dampened my enthusiasm for any additional snow this season.

So I was curious, what is your favorite snow-based activity? Do you enjoy sledding, ice fishing, snowball fights, etc.?

Ducky123 · **Reply #87 on:** January 25, 2014, 09:56:57 PM

I know you guys across the ocean get hammered by the stuff... share some, will ya!

Well, my favourite activity is sledding and the local hills are just perfect for that activity

The younger children always ask me to pull their sledge and being the kind person I am I do that

Though I would never say no to having a good ol' snowball fight.

Another thing I do like doing is building an igloo but I keep failing for the weather usually gets warmer before I can finish it or some stupid kids destroy it... Maybe I shall be lucky this year

Thanks for the question.

Earlier in this topic you mentioned that you enjoyed strategy games, so I was wondering: what are some of your favorite strategy games?

Ducky123 · **Reply #89 on:** February 14, 2014, 03:50:39 PM

I enjoy playing Age of Empires (despite being kind of old), The Settlers IV (doesn't work anymore, sadly), Stronghold (same), Anno 1404, Age of Mythology, and my very recent addition Civilization IV

My, that game is addictive

Indeed it is.

I once remember getting really into a multiplayer game of Civ 4 during one of my breaks between semesters and losing track of time. By the time I realized how much time had passed, 12 hours had gone by and it was no longer early evening but rather morning. So, being the sensible person I am, I continued playing it for another 6 hours until the game was over.

For that reason, I only play it on multiplayer when I have several days off of work in a row.

rhombus · **Reply #91 on:** April 18, 2014, 02:48:44 PM

Just out of curiosity, since you seem to enjoy Civilization 4, do you plan on buying Civilization: Beyond Earth when it is released?

Ducky123 · **Reply #92 on:** April 18, 2014, 04:17:41 PM

Oh yes, I am enjoying it too much for my own good

Spend almost the whole morning and afternoon playing it... It's becoming more and more awesome because I'm learning and getting better... That and I'm mostly playing a pretty awesome modification that allowes up to 38 players and adds a lot of new units, buildings, civs, a lot of leaders, new traits, upgrades etc... It's awesome

Called BASE but I'm not sure if it's an internation mod or a german only one since it was programmed by people from the german civ forum... :unsure:

Now, to answer your actual question, I will wait until there are videos of people playing that new game and, based on what I see, I'll decide upon that

I hate buying games if I don't know whether or not the purchase will be worth it...

Any other dinosaur related media you like?

Ducky123 · **Reply #94 on:** May 09, 2014, 03:24:22 PM

Not really. It's mostly LBT that makes me love those creatures. I read a novel where dinosaurs played a central role but I can't remember the title...

Dalekdino · **Reply #95 on:** May 10, 2014, 05:25:53 AM

Which one of my humanized pics do you like most?

Ducky123 · **Reply #96 on:** May 10, 2014, 03:34:22 PM

Ducky when she was younger than in most of the pics, Ducky tickling Petrie, Cera and Tricia sleeping and Ruby where she's sleeping in hospital.

Ah Yes I had a feeling that at least one of your top favourites was one of Ducky:)

Dalekdino · **Reply #98 on:** May 12, 2014, 07:49:29 AM

Seeing as you love Ducky soo much, what's your favourite Ducky moment ?

Ducky123 · **Reply #99 on:** May 12, 2014, 09:01:24 AM

Well, that's one of the trickiest questions I've been asked in this thread

In general, I really love Ducky in the whole first movie, especially when she meets Littlefoot and the famous "Don't step on a crack, or you'll fall and break your back" scene

so cute.
Another movie that has quite some good moments of our little swimmer, is the 8th, especially during "Family"

And I totally love her being mad

Thanks for the questions, Dalekdino
