I don't get why I can snipe so well yet when I play scout 3+ of the 6 shots in my scattergun usually miss. XD

Oh shit, son! Gotta be a fluke! They couldn't possibly!

Alright. added you btw. That name tag looks very appealing but 6 of any crate is hardly a fair trade for one of those. XD I guess just whatever you're willing to part with. I'm not picky. Edit: last online: 24 days ago. DAMN, son!

He's getting better about it, but still, LMAO. Anywho, I hope EQD does another Wallpaper posting. I want to know if my desktop will get posted this time. XD Kind of an exciting and scary thought to think that one of my pieces may actually get a modest amount of attention, even if it is very simple.

I do have ADHD and am medicated for it. The one I currently take is Vyvance. Probably the best I've used yet. I have used Straterra at one point but it didn't seem to work as well. The meds do help in that they calm me down enough to focus some, but it doesn't fully help the outlying problem, which is why I posted this. It allows me to focus in class, but you can't medicate a lack of inspiration. Have to be careful though. Meds tend to give me the ability to super-focus on things, so if I don't start working as they take effect, I begin to focus on the wrong things and find it incredibly hard to break off of it and back onto something else. Yeah I've found myself doing this as well. I tend to mentally absorb level design into my head in all the games I play because I know that knowledge of a wide range of environments is key to being a level designer. I can guarantee that I won't ever be working on only 1 type of environment in the industry. @Prohypster: I do love creating art. I just tend to let petty things interfere: lack of knowledge, Fear of harsh criticism, and sometimes, oddly, worry of how long it'll take to complete. They're such silly things to worry over too, especially the last one considering the best things are never rushed. Thank you for the words of wisdom, though.

Fluttershy, do you still want those series 26 crates? I have something like 6 in my inventory.

I occasionally get people hinting at it when I have a good sniping day(mostly on the Team Interrobang servers) but their admins have played with me enough to know that I do miss a lot even on my good days. XD

I believe she still is, actually.

The image you are requesting does not exist or is no longer available.

He dreams about Rarity tying him up like that. Probably with naughty intents. XD

Ah, I see. And lol at Flutterninja. and btw, someone colored in Lauren's self-pony sketch.

This made me chuckle a bit. But you are right, I do tend to be harsh on myself. I see complicated work and get the whole "I'll never be that good" feeling which ultimately makes me a bit afraid to try out of fear of the imminent failure. But I never actually thought to try and think of it in an opposite light of actually using an self-ego boost for motivation. Yeah, I'm definitely guilty of that. Half the time my excuses are something extremely petty like "maybe someone posted on my facebook"(one can hope. ), or checking my email/forums/D-art/anything for replies to something. Sometimes I even gotta turn off my Wireless receiver just to avoid distractions. The self-rewarding method also escaped my mind. I usually listen to music while I work to get my creative mood booming but now that I think of it, I usually spend more time changing songs than working. That can probably be changed with playlisting what I want ahead of time but putting it off till after can also be a good reason to get working. XD Lol no problem. This is actually a fantastic idea when I think about it. In fact, I think it's safe to say that a lot of my problems here stem from lack of organization leading to the whole thing about not knowing where to start, then to the stress attacks, etc. Maybe if I take some time out of the day after my classes to just sit down and arrange all my thoughts and plan out what I'll start with first and what I'll work on and when. Ditto. Thanks man. actually pretty helpful. I do sometimes get random bursts of inspiration from somethings. In fact, I got some for my vector landscape project on DA after I saw a cartoon landscape and realize that vector art can be very cartoony.

That was slow.

That should probably have been posted in the portal 2 thread since this is about the 2 credit songs from each game. But welcome to the forums either way.

no u

What are the stats on it?! Mine: dual intel core i7 processor 6 GB of ram

Not enough random. Needs more collective insanity.

Funny you should ask as I'm studying that right now. A vector is a type of image that can be scaled to any size without loss of image quality. I'd give the super geek explanation but I'm not sure how much you know about digital art and how much you'd understand.

Well, as some of you know, I'm currently studying to get into the gaming industry. The field I'm pursuing is level design which is a rather artistically heavy aspect. Problem is, when it comes to art, whether it be Photoshop, drawing, or building, I always have a hard time starting. very hard time, actually, to the point where I start to stress and fear I may not complete in time. Not only that, but I have motivation issues when it comes to the actual work. I'm fine when I'm working on something I find enjoyable but life isn't always going to let me do what I love. So that's why I'm asking this. I want to know if anyone has any kind of tips, advice, or any personal methods they use to motivate them into working? I realize that not everything works for everyone but I figured I'll try a few and see if any of them do. If you haven't noticed, I got some personal correcting to do if I'm going to survive in this industry. Thanks in advance.

I am confuzzled by this statement. And only 19 more days to go! you can make it!

I'm gonna revive this thread. I do believe it needs more love, and the thing's I'm probably gonna be talking about over the course of this quarter aren't important enough for their own topics and not random enough for the random thread. Anywho, I think my computer finally met it's match. And that match is none other than a vector based photoshop file consisting of 246 layers. As it stands, any changes made to it take 2-4 seconds to appear. I may need to restart my computer to clean out all the RAM and close any back-ground processes that aren't needed just to finish. XD

RPG's: Elder scrolls 3 and 4(3 requires patience for new gamers), Fallout 3 and NZ, Fable Strategy: Starcraft and Warcraft series FPS: Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Killzone series, Half Life series, Halo series, Left for Dead series, first F.E.A.R(if he doesn't mind horror), Bioshock(I for some reason can't bring myself to call it horror but some found it scary so, yeah, I'll throw that tag in.), Team Fortress 2(this one is free so he should just get it anyways. XD) Horror Games: Dead Space series, Resident Evil 4, Penumbra, Amnesia Puzzle: Portal 1 & 2 Sneaking: Thief, Metal Gear Solid(try and go for 2 and 3 the most. 4 and 1 were good but 4 has far too many cinematic moments and 1 is hard to find and not every gamer is backwards compatible in their gaming abilities.), Deus Ex: Human Revolution (yes I put this in FPS but it's sneaking system is also very well made.) Other: InFamous 1 & 2, Starwars Battlefront 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood I'll try and think up more later.

More granola and yogurt mix.

I'm afraid...
