A community college commencement is, for many, a celebration of second chances.http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/gaithersburg-woman-earns-college-degree-two-decades-after-complete-memory-loss/2011/05/19/AFWAMg8G_story.html
Consider Su Meck. The 45-year-old homemaker from Gaithersburg graduated Friday from Montgomery College with an associate degree in music. It’s the culmination of a life that, in most senses of the word, began at 22.
In February 1988, a ceiling fan fell on Meck’s head. The blow erased her memory, and she awoke after a week in a coma with the mental capacity of a young child. She no longer knew her husband or her two baby sons. She barely spoke and could not read or write, walk or eat, dress or drive.
“It was Su 2.0,” said Jim Meck, her husband, a systems engineer. “She had rebooted.”
Cookie for anyone who gets the reference.Basically the whole internet? Not sure what reference you are trying to make...
Maybe they're staff only.Last I checked, Scraggy, Subby and Kit aren't staff. And that would be one HELL of a shoop.
Or shopped.
Aaaallright... where to start... Top Right, Black Lantern Flame. From an RPM thing a while back. Had it on the mind and doodled it.
Top left... Shield Sword... Or Sword Shield?
Middle... Castletron. Don't ask. I have no idea where I even got this idea.
Bottom... Castlevania parody. If you know anything about the Dungeons and Dragons setting "Ravenloft", you will agree it is pretty much Castlevania with a slightly more Lovecraftian horror vibe. (In fact, Castlevania ll ripped part of it's box art off from Ravenloft)Complete with a Castle and big bad Vampire. I found a whip somewhere along the way and totally planned to use it when we entered the castle, but unfortunately, D&D whips kinda suck.
Also, Hamster Scone. My mother made raisin scones while we were playing at my house, and one of them looked like a hamster, no joke.
Ok, part 2 now.
Top... we had a useless Warforged paladin with us at one point, played by an equally useless acquaintance of my friend Lilwolf
Eventually, we stopped inviting him over, and we joked around as to what to do with his character. I joked we should dismantle him and use his parts to create a mount, like a ride armor. which would ALSO double as a cannon to launch me at enemies.
middle left is this - http://flame-g102.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2zhpvn
the two castles on the right are doodles of Me and Lilwolf's Minecraft castles. The design is outdated, because we have since modified them further (all we ever did on Minecraft was try to outcastle each other)
bottom left is Bolt Crank, from Eat-Man,
and bottom of all is Flame dressed gothically with a neat sword. I *THINK* it also comes from the Castlevania RP we had going on RPM. I played Flame as a bad guy for a short while.
The HnK/Monk thing comes from the fact that one of our players plays this uber monk whos only weapons are his fists, and he gets some of the strongest hits out of all of us. His answer to everything is pretty much to throw his fist at it and see what happens.
One time, our D.M, Lilwolf had us reach the end of the current mission, and we encountered this odd guy who constantly switched personalities. he hyped him up to be this really strong guy. We entered the battle. our pal the monk got a critical roll on the first turn and pretty much killed him in one hit. our DM was so annoyed by it.he was like, "Are you F*ing kidding me? What just happened!?"
So we constantly joke that he's well, pretty much Kenshiro in disguise.
So we came up with that line, ;you are already monk"
the ones in the right corner is Flame and the previously mentioned Lilwolf. Ive been working on a new design for his persona, so I doodled it last meet.
the top... Well, we were sneaking around this really dangerous quarry, (there was broken glass everywhere, and glass zombies) and I managed to roll high to sneak, and so I dove into a pile of rubble and just kinda peeked out.
the penguin... is a sanity stealing penguin (long story) we were actually fighting penguins. But they were bad penguins that kept summoning monsters. so we took them out and the monsters stopped coming. Too bad. I would have liked to keep one.
That is slightly unnerving...Yeah. its almost scarier than normal sharks.
