'MERICA!
57 here---
FUCK YEAH, AMERICA!!!!!
Needless to say I'm feeling patriotic today, AND WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? There's nothing wrong with loving your country, I dare any of you to tell me I'm wrong.
So you know what? Celebrate the birth of this great nation any fucking way you want. This is the land of freedom, right? So why do we have to celebrate the birth of this nation one way? Celebrate however you want, I don't think anyone is going to stop you (unless you're doing something blatantly illegal).
So, happy birthday America. Keep doing what you do best: Kicking ass.

Writing, WoW, Painting, and some other shit
57 here---
Man oh man, shit has been happening recently over on my end. A lot of shit went down.... and came up.... and around...... yeah. I mean, it's not like I got it hard or easy on my end, no, I'm just a college student bitching, whining, ranting and raging on the internet full of tweens/teens/college students bitching, whining, ranting and raging about shit that is non-consequential shit that don't effect anyone else in the slightest. Hell, to some people I might come off as a deranged sociopath.
...... With a cowboy hat.
Anyway, onto stuff that's happened.
Since the deadline for 40k pitches is July 31st, I have begun to haul ass and work on my pitch to Black Library. I know I'm one of thousands, hell maybe even millions of people, who are going to submit something to BL, but really I'm having fun. And that's what matters. I'm writing my pitch around the Thousand Sons, and am having fun working with them, or as much fun as I can with only three chapters. But hey, at least I got to write this:
I just like that line. I really do. But really, I know I'm probably not going to win, but hey, it doesn't mean I'm not going to have fun.
Also.... I'm playing WoW again. Yes, I got back into it. I had an experience with WoW a few years back and it was.... well, draining. I first started playing when the first expansion, Burning Crusade, came out. Back when the game was a unending grind. When I first got into it, I was saying, "wow, hey, this is kind of cool." Then after six months I had lost any sense of connection with the game, and stopped playing.
I stopped playing for a few reasons: A) it really wasn't fun to level up anymore, it was a grind of killing monster after monster, and quests weren't cool anymore. B) It took me six months of this grind to get to level 33. C) I wanted people to play with, but no one was in sight.
But the new WoW has changed a lot of that. I've been playing for about two weeks, and already I'm level 44, and the quests are cool now. So, if anyone wants to play, my sever is Muradin, so let me know and we'll do..... Stuff.
In terms of painting, I'm starting a new 40k army, the Storm Wardens (their story be here, http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Storm_Wardens) and I'm trying some new painting styles, techniques, and paints. Firstly, I'm going for a fading from one color to another look to some swords, thunder hammers and storm shields. I'm not using citadel acrylic paints, or Vallejo paints, rather I'm using Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil color paints, a water soluble oil paint. No, I don't know how it works, but the clean up is great. It takes time to get the effect you want, and even longer for the paint to dry, but hey, when you get it down, it looks really cool.
Anywhoo, that's it for now, stay tuned people.
Yours,

Wait...... What?
57 here---
Wait, what? Did they....? No, they wouldn't, but...... why? How? Why? Damn it. Damn it! Oh, this is not going to be fun. This is absolutely not going to be fun. Shit. Oh, what am I talking about. That. Yeah.
Halo 4.
Yeah, Halo 4. Oh man, I thought the series could now just fucking die and we could go on to the next series Bungie has in store (next Oni game anyone?). But no, Microsoft is determined to rape as much out of this corpse as possible (Why am I getting an Activision vibe from this). The only developer I trust with a new Halo game is Bungie, but Reach was there last, and we all know Microsoft game studios can't produce shit unless they work really, REALLY hard at it. Personally I think they've only been working on this for about a year, so if they plan on releasing it soon they must be: A) Have a huge fucking team working in 24 hour shifts that also work on weekends or B) must be bribing a huge number of studios to do it for them. Take your pick.
This is not going to be fun.

Some of the most stupidly overpowered fictional weapons...... And I want them
57 here---
Ok, let's face it, fiction from time to time just makes some of the most ridiculously overpowered weapons that are just, well, fucking awesome. We all know why they're fictional: because there is no way we could conceivably make them, and if we could they would be overused/poorly used and destroy us all. But let's face it: We want them. Really fucking badly. With that said, let's see what's out there.
The Destroyer Armor from Thor
Come on? It's called the Destroyer Armor for a reason. This thing destroys shit. Completely. You might be saying, "Oh, but in the Thor movie, Thor destroys it easily." Well A) that was a movie designed to make Thor look completely badass, and B) shut the fuck up. In comics nothing, NOTHING, can destroy this armor. Imagine Juggernaut, now imagine Juggernaut made of metal that breaths fire and can destroy worlds and cannot be paralyzed, frozen or what not. Once, Odin came to Thor, armored in the Destroyer Armor and guess what? Kicked the shit out of Thor and his buddies. And could Thor scratch him? Could Thor harm Odin? Nope, Mjolnir could harm Odin. No lightening, no hits, nothing could harm Odin while wearing this. The battle in the Thor movie? That was but a taste of what this this could do. Seriously.
Vash's Angel Arm from Trigun
Now, Vash the Stampede is not a human. That's what allows his arm to be transformed into a normal, human looking arm into this thing. What does it do? Simple, it turns your arm into a giant fucking laser/energy cannon. This thing is so powerful it can completely destroy cities. Not to mention potentially destroy a planet, seeing how Vash used it to carve a huge fucking hole into one of their moons. What's the only thing that can stop one of these things? Another one. Yep, the only thing powerful enough to cancel out a blast from this is another blast from another one of these things.
Being Batman
Yeah. Enough said here.....
Cyclone Torpedoes from Warhammer 40K
The 41st millennium houses some pretty powerful weaponry. Metaguns, Plasma guns,Virus Bombs, yeah, nasty shit. Each one with their intended purposes, meltas kill tanks, plasmas kill heavily armored infantry, virus bombs kill--erm, preserve entire planets. But what if you just want to say "FUCK YOU" to an entire planet? Simple, Cyclone Torpedoes. These are when you just want to get a planet gone. So, they make the planet implode. Yes, implode. It damages the planet so much it collapses in on itself, killing anything and everything on the planet. How they created these, I don't know. But you know what they do when they don't much like your entire planet. Overkill; Because enough is never enough.

Idea
Ok, hear me out on this---
I just had the idea for a new army today, an army that would still be competitive and stuffs, but would just be so over the top and unnecessary that it would be so awesome. Just read the name of the army and tell me this wouldn't be awesome:
The Manly Marines of Manliness.
Tell that would not be awesome. I dare you, I double dog dare you motherfucker, tell me that wouldn't be awesome.
Anyway, for making this army, there must be some manly requirements that must be met. Listed below:
The Standard-bearer is standing atop a fallen enemy, ramming the banner-poll up it's ass (On the base it will be written "WHERE ARE YOUR GODS NOW?")
The chapter badge and banner will be the American flag (Really, why the fuck not?).
Most likely the Captain will be striking epic battle pose, and his cape with be the flag (See previous statement).
The Chaplain will be curb-stomping a Tau fire-warrior.
There will be a sergeant punching a missile.
All bare-headed sergeants will have cigars (Cigars make everything manly).
I have so many more ideas for these, and really I just want to start them just so I said I did made that army. Maybe I will....
Anyway, just needed to share that.
Cheers,

I mean, a Chaplain curb-stomping a tau.... How's that not cool?

The hardest line you've had to write
"What is the hardest thing you've ever had to write?"
I got that question a couple days back and it did get me thinking a little bit, what was/is the hardest thing I've had to write?
Now, this doesn't mean hardest as in most difficult and most challenging book a person could write, no it means what was the most emotionally trying thing that I've written. That was indeed a good question, what was the most difficult? Siege had a hard one or two, the main protagonist, of course goes through some trials and hardships, some were difficult to put down on paper, but they weren't the most difficult. Until recently they were, but not now.
The most difficult thing I've had to write came in the form of another book idea I had a few days back (damn me having a creative imagination). It was really between two of that book's main characters after the events of the book. It was a saying of the ultimate result of their actions, not the one they wanted but the one they got. It's full of bitterness, sorrow and the simple but brutal truth. That this was their fate, uttered by one of the two main protagonists knowing that even though they knew what they wanted, knew what everyone was wanting had tried for the simplest of things.
The phrase was simple: "It's over. We lost."
