My stress, that's what I'm talking about.
DSoM drama seems to follow me wherever I go, despite me not going there for weeks precisely to avoid this (thanks, Aggro). Not only that, but the last few weeks have been...horrible for me, to say the least. Especially at work, where I've been at risk of losing my job (despite having only a few weeks left) due to issues with my then boss. Twice. On top of it all, I got sick last week and ended up bedridden for two days. Which happened to be my two days off.

*sigh*

Really, all the stress has gotten to my head. I can't even focus on things properly anymore.

So!

At the very least, I can say that from here on out, things are taking a turn for the better. First off, I'm taking a break from DSoM and all related issues. I can't deal with those anymore as I am right now. Second, next two weeks will be much more relaxed for me. Next week, a relative of mine is visiting, so I'll finally be able to spend some time with my family for a change. The week after that, I'll be taking a trip to New York to visit a friend of mine.
And after that...it's the end of the program, and I'll spend one more week worth of vacation with my brother. FINALLY!!

It's so close...never thought I'd make it this far, to be honest. Especially with how I broke down during my first week or so.

Anyhow, to add to my relaxation time, my new Wacom Tablet arrived! As such, I can once again try practicing digital drawing (well, more like sketching, but eh)! Quick, someone tell me a TYPE-MOON character who needs fanart! First come, first serve!
And, since my aunt is coming, that means I also get my 3DS back! Which also means, I'll finally be able to play Fire Emblem Awakening! I'll finally get to see what the deal with it is. :3
I'll also start reading Tsukihime, as to expand my TYPE-MOON knowledge from 11% to 26%! May blog about my progress and overall thoughts of it as I go. May.
Any recommended route I should take? As far as I can tell, the usual would be Arc->Ciel->Akiha->Hisui->Kohaku.

BTW, can anyone tell me if Skullgirls and Zettai Hero Project are worth a buy? I snooped around and read a lot about those (plus I saw ZHP cheap at a store) while surfing the net, but I wanted to know if anyone would recommend them.

Welp. I better start drawing now, while it's still early.

    Shiki Tohno needs newer fanart!

    With that out of the way, I'm sorry that you've had such a bad time and I'm glad to know that it's getting better!

    As for the reading order for Tsukihime the order I did was Arc->Ciel->Akiha->Hisui->Kohaku. I liked it this way though CIel route can be pretty boring considering your basically rereading some of Arc's route. Hope you like it!

    Very glad to know things are (about to, it seems) looking up for you, Kaiza. ^^
    And congrats on the family time, New York trip, and tablet, definitely!
    Lucky on Awakening. XP

    Type-Moon character needing more fanart, though? Hm...no clue, besides maybe Caster. XP

    Kaiza, you should have gotten into the Skullgirls Funding Indiegogo like me and be guaranteed shit.

    Anyways, wait for the PC version on Steam if your computer can handle it, otherwise its cool. I love Peacock

    And Zettai Hero Project is GRIND. Even more so than a Disgaea game in a different way by being a Roguelike

    So...is that a "Yes" or a "No"?

    ZHP is the win kaiza, especially if you like rogue likes and power rangers styled sentai humour

    Generally speaking, anything by Nippon Ichi is worth the buy, I'd say.

    I'm also glad things are looking better for ya.
    And draw some Archer~ :3
    And Fire Emblem Awakening huh? I envy you. :3 But that's also good! Even from the demo I could tell it was pretty fun, so that should help you feel better as well.

    And that route order looks pretty good to me. ...As far as I know, I haven't read Tsuki- *shot*

    Your avatar proves that Archer has enough fan art as it is.

    Draw Makiri the Magnificent, Stage Magician Zouken! (Glad things are going better for you! It's nice to hear about someone whose life is improving--I wasn't even sure they had those on the Internet!)

    That Takeuchi guy draws some great Archer fan art, doesn't he?

    You totally have to post your ~shipping~ chart of Awakening. It's obligatory. (Also your 3DS friendcode here )

    Oh and have fun with Tsuki, I would wait for the remake and instead read another Type-Moon project but I am lazy.

    Draw EXTRA's Female Protagonist and Nero love

    That'd be the way to do it. You can't do any of the latter three without doing one of the first two first, and you can't do Kohaku's without doing Hisui's anyway.

    Doing Akiha before Ciel isn't a bad choice either methinks. There are some dramatic reveals in Akiha's route that get delivered as tertiary concerns in ciel's iirc.

    Sorry you got upset by my thread in the 7th! Next time feel free to just talk to me and i'll be happy to knock it off, none of it was intended to be directed towards you!

    Very yes on ZHP, it's so nice and addicting. Although the GRIND never felt as grindy as Disgaea to me.

    I can tell you skullgirls is a fantastic game. It's a very well made game with a very good fighting engine and a interesting 'verse. Definitely one of my favorite fighting games for sure. The game only has 8 fighters (5 more are going to be on the way, now that campaign succeeded beyond their wildest dreams), but has a ratio system like in CvS2, where you can have tag-teams up to 3 characters, 2 stronger characters, or just 1 fighter.

    For 15 bucks, and the promise that the DLC fighters will be free for the first 3 months they're out, it's a good price. I got both PS3, 360, and donated to the campaign (I'm gonna be getting a poster eventually, and Half-minute hero PC, yay)

    -------------

    But right now, focus on any of them. You need to focus on what's most important, getting that stuff done. It may be a bit late, but good luck man, good luck.
