Christmas is finally here!
My pets seemed to be in the mood for Christmas, and my cat even sat next to the Christmas tree when my family and I went to open our gifts.
One of the gifts I recieved, was a Bamboo Fun: Pen and Touch Tablet!
I doubt I will get that lucky anytime soon! Now I can draw easily on the computer! What did you folks at NG get for Christmas/Hanukkah/whatever gift-giving holiday you celebrate.

I am proud to announce that I am done some theme songs for the "war." Each theme is about 30 seconds.

It took me 5-6 seconds to load, so if you press the buttons and no sound plays, wait a while.

If any participants in the war want their own themes, tell me a song and a 30 second clip from it and I will try to add it to the rest of the themes.

Regulations for themes
-It has to fit your aura. No light-hearted, cheery themes if you are dark or evil.
-It needs to be around 30 seconds, if you have a song longer than that, I will use a 30 second clip of your choice.
-Themes for things other than users or auras may be accepted if they are reasonable.

Here is the map for the "war".
As you can see, many details are not added, such as mountain ranges, some extra forests, oil derricks, many cities and other structures, and more. I just want to see if everyone likes the layout of the land. However, I still added choke points, icons for structures, and different terrain types (which I will find uses for).

Suggestions? Comments? Spam?

Here is some recent news almost worth knowing!

Happy day after Remembrance Day! (or Veterans Day for you Americans)
I got a bronze whistle! Thanks to SuperMarioBrosS for noticing!
New info on the literature portal!
November 13 is a friday! Bad luck for everyone!
Sorry I couldn't aprove your comments, I forgot to tell you people I was going away for the weekend.

Congratulations SMBS!
Other than that, this is pretty much an open discussion post.

Notice: Posts are no longer allowed on this post. Please look forward to my next news post. :D

Hey guys!
I decided to start working on Tails' Revenge 2! Here is a screenshot from the forest area!
The Big Fat Tutorial helped me realize the potential I have in the flash interface! Drawing stuff is much easier then I had thought!

There's a tornado going through my area!

What am I doing on the computer! I should be going to the basement!

I'll post later when it's over. (if the computer isn't trashed)

UPDATE

I guess I posted too late.
The warning started at 6:00 but I didn't feel like posting on NG because THERE'S A FLIPPING TORNADO IN MY TOWN! So... yeah... I'm not dead. The tornado is moving Northeast and the storms are over.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any tornados, so no pictures for you NGers.

Yep, that's right! I'm going on vacation again! I'm going to Virginia this time. This is my second time going out of Canada ever! I will respond to your comments after I get back!

See ya later! Again!

UPDATE

I'm back! I came home yesterday night at around 12 AM. The vacation was great! I sat on a jellyfish when I was at the beach. Fortunately, I didn't touch the stingers, so I didn't get stung. I also had many other experiences.

Interesting to note, when I stopped in Pennsylvania on the way there, it smelled like manure, but when I stopped on the way back, it smelled like noodles. Wierd huh?

I'm going to Sudbury, Ontario for three days! I will respond to your comments after I get back!

See ya later!

Update!
I'm back!
The vacation was great. (except at the end our car ran out of battery and we were stuck for an hour)
Maybe if you guys are nice I'll show you a picture of THE BIG NICKEL!
