I'm aware of how wrong this is going to sound

Thu May 1, 2008, 7:36 AM
My right wrist hurts. Want to know why?

No?

I'm telling you anyway. I've recently gotten back into playing Drummania. Specifically, 9th mix, since I have it at my local arcade again. For those who don't know what Drummania is...it's a drum simulator, similar to the game Konami's releasing in the US called Rock Band. However, it specializes heavily in j-rock. One of my favorite genre's of music.

The songs range in difficulty, based on beats per minute and how many times you'll be actually striking the drum pads. For example, one of my favorite songs (the shortened version of Ukifune that's used in this game) is 134 bpm and has a difficulty of 15 in easy, 31 in standard, and 58 in expert.

Now, WHY does my wrists, arms and ankle hurt? Not because I've been playing Ukifune, I assure you. It's a relatively simple song to play, even in expert (and very fun, plus very, VERY catchy. You need to hear it sometime.)

No, it's because I've been playing to master the song 'Funky Sonic World'. A standard song with a BPM of 400 (!!) and a difficulty of 87 in expert. Did I happen to mention that it's a 1:47 song that has close to 1400 notes to it? That's about 13-14 notes a SECOND.

This is what I call fun. I'm a masochistic bastard.

Agh! You got a whole bunch of good drawings! And they're so close together in quality, too, I dunno where to comment! =P

I think you're going great, Kei! I'm not very knowledgable at all on the topic, but I do get a sort of retro-type feeling from your drawings. It's nice! ^.^
:iconcrayishikara:
Thanks. Much appreciated, dear. ^^ I'm working on one of a slightly more evolved Shinn, when his flames become stronger. See, when his powers grow, his physical appearance alters slightly each time. Starts with his hair (Purple to indicate his dark fire, black and gold streaks to indicate his goldfire, depends which he unlocks first), and then his arms...eyes...and finally, the ability to simply alter his own appearance with his own willpower.

Your love is magical, that's how I feel
But in your presence I am lost for words
Words like, "I love you." ---MJ
:iconcrayishikara:
Bah, you can draw. You just need to put effort into it. =) Take my word for it - I couldn't draw at all several years ago. Took time and practice.
