New Years Resolution List

Here's what I want you all to do:

1) Open some sort of word/text file

2) Write down 10-20 specific resolutions you have for 2009. Don't write "lose weight" because that's vague. Instead, write "lose 10 pounds by drinking more water and eating fewer donuts"

I think it's a huge mistake to only have one vague resolution, your odds of getting it are very low. If you have 10-20 specific resolutions, even if you get a couple of them, that's still cool.

3) Keep adding to the document until December 31st

4) Save it and put it away on your computer

Next year you can then open the file and see how well you did. It's fun to compare what you wanted to happen vs. what did happen

Enjoy!!

Artist's Help Needed ASAP

My game's artist needs help with drawing male vs. female facial features. I need someone who's available ASAP to sketch over her existing drawing and make a character who looks too female into someone who looks male.

I'd like this done really really quickly and can send a small gift to whoever does it. Comment here if you're available today for this super quick project.

Ho Ho Ho

Worst Xmas Present Ever

This theO denial of service attacking is the worst holiday present ever. Not only that but they submitted like 200 fake news stories I had to clear out and forced me to make submitting news members-only now.

I support the death penalty for:
-- DDOS hackers
-- Spammers
-- Identity thieves

The part that really annoys me is that there's a 99% chance the person responsible just has a computer script targeting random sites, they aren't even doing this for any real reason.
