I just spent something like 16 hours straight playing Skyrim. I knew this would happen. It was only my third session too. My first and second I didn't play more than an hour or so each time, while trying to get the hang of control and camera. But after that, it's really hard to stop. It's basically an RPG I've always wished every RPG I played to be. It's not perfect yet though. It really could use a better navigation UI, I understand the desire to keep interface minimum, but damn, at least make it an option. I felt like I was playing Shadow of Colossus, except the world is 100x bigger. The equip menu is way too minimalist. I wish there's a way to easily compare what you're wearing with other item in inventory.
The best part of the game so far? MY HOUSE! I got it solely because I want to hoard things. I just wish you could really decorate it though, I'm thinking something like realistic version of Animal Crossing house. How awesome that would be? Maybe a DLC? :D
Got a new chair! It's more than I was meant to spend on. But since I sit 10 hours a day. I might as well sit on a nicest chair I can afford.
It's 2 AM, January 1st, 2012 in Thailand. My neighborhood karaoke party had just died down. I'm really happy to be living in such a karaoke-fiend area, otherwise they'd kick my ass a long time ago from a random burst of karaoke evening.
I know it's cliche to have a new year resolution, and most people couldn't keep it. There's something about talking making you feel like you already accomplish something, thus less doing. However, I have two simple goals in mind, not necessarily a resolution, more like a guideline for the rest of the year.
First, I want to churn out more comics. More short stories and pitch longer story, as well as an occasional webcomic. In 2011 I banked too much of my work on trying to find publishers/freelance gig, this year I want to just finish a lot of comics and get them out of me, publishers or no.
Second, I want to be able to do calculus by the end of this year. Maths have always been my mortal enemy, and I really want to conquer it, there's no other reason.
Hope you will have a better year than I will!
I got comm copies of the stuff I did a (long) while ago. I did 3 small illustrations for them. Anyone play this kinda games? I admit I don't know which way is up with them. But it was a nice gig. Wish I could find more.
And happy holidays, end of year, steam wintersales! (friends got me Skyrim :D :D :D)
Pavlov's normal schedule will resume next year. Hopefully!

I'm fascinated by clouds. We have practically no clouds where I live. So I always appreciated one whenever I see it. I've never seen this particular cloud formation in person before. Doubt I ever will. But video is just as good.
I'd ramble about the science behind it, but to be honest, aside from knowing that air behaves just like water, I don't really understand much beyond that. So you might as well just read up wiki if you're interested:

In the actual morning. A rare occurrence.

The awesome contraption in this comic is called Armillary sphere. It's one of those things that I always know what they look like, but never knew the name. I always refer to it as 'that sky model thingy'. It's good to finally put name and face together, so to speak. Also, DO WANT.

Doesn't come as a surprise to me. In GW, mesmer was always one of the main and surprisingly important part in our party. My brother rocks mesmer like nothing else. (he's also in love with Gwen, but that's another story.) Me? I'm a necro fiend. I think we're good to go with GW2. If only Arenanet would release it already, come and get my $60! Dammit.

Some commissions I’ve done a while ago. Finally able to show them.
Google+ inspired some doodles. Made with Manga Studio.
