STAR*DRIVE -- Is This Impressive or What?

Image
I was idly browsing the Neverwinter Vault when I came across this bit of news from Yaddaman about his upcoming sci-fi module, STAR*DRIVE. The picture on the right was shamelessly lifted from the STAR*DRIVE news page at the Vault. There are more screenshots to be found there, so if this picture does not amaze you, head over to Yaddaman's announcement and prepare to be floored. There are three things about this module that impress me: (1) The custom models are awesome. (2) The module and its custom content were all done by one person -- Yaddaman. (3) Yaddaman would like to see other modders use his custom content to create their own sci-fi modules. Don't take my word for it. Read this quote from Yaddaman, which he posted at the Comments section. "I wish I could tell you exactly when it will be done but it's hard to say since I'm doing it alone and I don't have a huge amount of spare time (job, wife and two kids). I just hope you won't be dissapointed with t...

Which Comic Book Character Are You?

Image
While surfing the Internet for art references, I came across a dubious personality test called "Which Supervillain Are You?" . Amused, I decided to take it. As I was answering the quiz, I realized that the test didn't seem to be particularly well made. There were several questions bunched together toward the end that seemed to be blatantly referring to Poison Ivy. Anyhow, I completed the quiz and came up with the following result: You are The Joker The Joker 47% Lex Luthor 34% Apocalypse 34% Dr. Doom 34% Magneto 33% Mr. Freeze 32% Venom 31% Green Goblin 29% Two-Face 29% Dark Phoenix 25% Catwoman 22% Kingpin 19% Riddler 18% Juggernaut 17% Mystique 17% Poison Ivy 8% The Clown Prince of Crime. You are a brilliant mastermind but are criminally insane. You love to joke around while accomplishing the task at hand. The Joker? Uh-uh, not I. A sense of humor is far from being my strong suit, although the part about me being a brilliant mastermind isn't so far ...

What Kind of Creature Are You?

Several days ago, I took a 9-question test at Quiztron called "What Magical Creature Are You?" . It's a multiple-choice personality test of sorts, but I'm certain that it has no scientific basis whatsoever. The Quiztron site lets anybody create their own test, so I think it's safe to say that nearly all of them did not originate from someone with a Ph.D. in Psychology. This particular test was apparently created by a girl who was between 13 to 17 years old when it was posted a little over a year ago. Nevertheless, the test was fun and took me less than a minute to complete. Reading the comments page , I found that possible results included dragon, elven warrior, and werewolf. Here's what I got: Demon You are dark and don't take s*** from anyone. You are a powerful creature and skilled in battle. Most fear you, but a few are on your side. Skilled in battle? I couldn't help but laugh. Nevertheless, I liked the test enough to try another one. This time,...
