Enjoy your costumes and your candy (man I miss the candy…)!

So I was wracking my brain trying to think of some kind of Halloween article to write up.  I’ve got stuff stored away for one idea, but figured I’d go with this new one: Co-Op Costume Ideas!  Dressing up as your favorite video game character is fun, but the real joy is conning convincing the rest of your friends to join in with you!

Of course, there’s dozens of characters to choose from when it comes to video game characters, so here’s a small sampling of those you could choose from.  Also, these suggestions are of characters that only work together in video games (so work together for good sweet loot and photo ops!).

All righty, so its been a while since we’ve updated, but never fret, I’ll find more weird or babbley things to talk about.  After the giant spike in visits with the brief tutorial I splashed together, we decided to slow things down a bit just in case the service provider decided to crap out on us.  I’m sure we’re nowhere near a digg effect, but we just wanted to make sure.

Besides, the ole Yeti had a week off before starting up on his new job, so we’ve made the most of our time spent together (or cursing at another Witchband drop from HH).  With Yeti kicking it off at his new job tomorrow, he’ll be working later hours, which leaves me time to try and cobble together something interesting for you to mull over.  So thanks for stopping by!

All righty, so we haven’t updated in a while, but here’s something neat to look forward to:  A Sale!  If you haven’t heard about it yet, Play-Asia (one of the game selling sites we’ve had good service with on the few times we’ve scraped money for a game) is having a sale on a bunch of good stuff.  Like that Okami art book I keep raving about, that’s one of the items on sale.

So, check it out (click the banner), buy something, and if you know of any other good/reputable online game stores (that ship to the UK), give a shout!

Following in the Kitn’s footsteps with her awesome tutorial on sticky tape I decided to come along with one of mine on how to make a folder like icon! So enjoy and I hope it’s easy enough to follow!

Well, been a while since I popped in some old art, so here you have it.  The next set of ole Florensia wallpaper.  These are less ‘character-centric’, and probably not the best of the lot, but hey, if someone enjoys it, then that’s okay with me.

As usual, here’s the disclaimer:

(Mind you, unless otherwise specified, none of the artwork is mine and are owned by their respective game companies and whatnot. Only the manipulation of them into wallpapers for public use are mine and should you like them, feel free to give me credit in at least that.  All artwork is usually 1024 x 768 unless otherwise specified or requested.)

Also, if there are fansite images you want to have a crack at me making into some kind of wallpaper with, feel free to comment and I’ll see about giving it a try.

All righty, Yeti asked me to do this ages ago after he saw me use it in one of my Little Big Planet wallpapers a while back, so I finally got around to getting some subpar quality screenshots of clear tape creation and got around to writing about it.  Hopefully this tutorial will be somewhat useful and easy to understand.

All righty, so I’m back with another review of Atlantica, now in Open Beta.  So, it took me some time to muster up the muscles to get back to installing this game, but seeing as everyone seems to be interested in the last review I had of it, I figured it’s worth looking back into to see what’s changed, for the better or worse.

If you haven’t already, check out the original Atlantica review, since the basics of the game are explained there, and not much has changed (the changes I have come across, I’ll be sure to mention in this article, but it saves me repeating detailed explanations of the old stuff… yes, I’m that lazy ^^ ).

Here are my ramblings of a day back, my Return To Atlantica *cue awesome dramatic music*:

So, for some reason my lone MMO Review of Atlantica has had more traffic than a bunch of my other junk I normally slap on.  Looks like it has a big following.  Now, mind you all, I did that looong ago, during CB, so I’m not sure just how much of it still applies.  Still, if that’s what it takes to get people to visit (not to mention provide actual comments), looks like I’ll have to trudge on into the OB and see if there’s anything more to add.  Look forward to a Return To Atlantica post, some time, not to mention me reviewing any of the other random MMOs I’ve dove into before, and am going back into again.  And yes, it will be just as long… well, unless I get lazy again (that’s always bound to happen).

Blast… means I’ll have to put in a review category eventually…  phoo…

Whew, managed to cobble together another half-baked list from my jumbled brain.  It was kind of frustrating to find the right kind of pictures or clips to go with some of them, so bare in mind that a few videos may either be extremely long, or a bit of a spoiler.  You have been warned!

Now go ahead and continue on to find out the…
