Ok, so, to be honest, Comic Con kind of sucked.
The two good parts for me was having Phil Foglio sign my epee, and winning in the D&D Ultimate Delve with my artificer.
But otherwise, ick. It was WAY too crowded. I started to really need some personal space after a while. Oh, and one asshole, who I guess was in just such a damned hurry, plowed into my steampunk powerpack, breaking off the antennae and somehow screwing up the wiring so the plasma globe doesn't work any more. And he didn't even stop or even slow down. It's gonna be a pain in the ass to try fix it, if I can.
Also, it probably didn't help that I was on my own. I had like 20+ friends there, but I couldn't find a single one on friday, and by the time I found some on saturday, they were getting ready to leave.
Overall, the experience was frustrating and exhausting.

So, I just turned 25 this minute, and my email inbox is swarmed with automated happy birthday messages from forums and stuff. Do these make anyone feel happy on their birthday? I just feel mildly annoyed.

"Hello Michael,

We at _ Forums would like to wish you a happy birthday today!"

Don't get me wrong. I'd be THRILLED if a single friend actually took a moment to call me on the phone (my hopes aren't high, nobody seems to use a freakin' phone anymore), but unheartfelt, computer-generated birthday wishes don't do a whole lot for me.

As some of you know, I work with autistic children for a living.
Recently, I've discovered that showing "Ronen" ( fantasyblade.deviantart.com/ar… ) to one of my client (using my iPhone) makes him really really happy, and has become an excellent tool for reinforcement and facilitating transitions.
I was hoping to find more short animated films like it, and I was hoping someone here could help me? It doesn't matter if it's on DA or somewhere else on the web, please just send me a link!

Criteria:
-Short (5-10 minutes)
-No dialogue (This can lead to scripting behaviors)
-Set to music that is not fast-paced (Such as "Waltz of the Flowers" in Ronen.)

Thanks in advance for your help!

So, I plan on going to Comic Con multiple days this summer. One of my costumes will be my Wulfenbach Scout, but I was thinking it'd be fun to go as something different each day.

I saw Wolverine lately, and I thought that I could pass myself off as Gambit pretty well, at least look-wise.
Here, compare this photo of me: gadren.deviantart.com/art/Mode… , with this photo of Taylor Kisch as gambit in the Wolverine movie: screenrant.com/wp-content/uplo…
Do I look enough like the guy, or is it just wishful thinking on my part?
Do you think I should do an old-school gambit costume? I mean, I had the thought because of the "new" gambit, but the new Gambit doesn't really have a costume, per say... hmmmmm....
What do you guys think?

Hey all, so, I picked up my hat today (the one in my icon and a lot of my swashbuckler pics) and the feather just DISINTEGRATED! I need a replacement soon for an upcoming gig.
Anyone know any good websites to buy feathers that are good for hats, similar to the one I have in my photos?
A quick reply would be appreciated!
Thanks!
