Procrastinations and Aliens

So uh, wow it's been more than a month since I have promised to update this place...
My sincerest apologies dear pixels!
Well that's what happens when distractions, porn addiction, and just flat out procrastination takes hold of your life... with an iron vice, shit.

I wasn't up to much. I did play a new game: Prey (which I bought before playing because I knew I would love it). Very good game guys, I will say that this a must for gamers who love their FPS single player games rich and frothy. Great art, great story, great pacing, and genius game design.
Imagine if you will - Super Mario Galaxy, Portal, and Duke Nukem all mixed into one great kick ass game!

Too bad pixels can't play games. pity. well, moving on!

I haven't been all that lazy though... actually, I have been EXTREMELY lazy...
BUT! Just this week I have started a painting (digital of course) of a Miyowi, an alien species of my own design with some elements ripped off from Spawn and Duke Nukem 3D.
I just finished about an hour ago, so with out further ado (and mostly because I can't really think of anything else worth saying) here's my beast (just his head of course... leave me alone):
Miyowi

Not the world's best painting I know, but it's not half bad, right?
You be the judge dear Pixels!

NES Swabing Accident

Whoops...
So for many a year I have noticed that there was some black sticky glue like residue underneath my NES (That's the Nintendo Entertainment System to the laymen) specifically near that plastic plate thing (that can detached). So I busted out an old tooth brush, a bottle of Goo Gone, Windex, and a Vacuum (for the dust under the plate) then had at it. The battle was - a success! But...

I noticed that the small hinged door in the front of my NES was slightly yellow... I was really hoping it wasn't sun bleached. So since I was already doing general maintenance to the NES, I figured I rub off what ever that stuff was with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.

Well as my luck would have it, I accidentally rubbed the beginning of the red logo right off! FUDGE! (gave cursing up for Lent... so pardon my non french). So I rubbed the rest of the logo off to make it look even. Might as well, right?
Right.

My nerd senses started tingling... in agitation. I just stared at the stupid mistake with sympathy. Oh well, at least the system still works...
sort of.
