... I can't say... my mind is filled with terrible innuendo's and all i see is a guy with a key and a girl with a keyhole...

Wait... i recognize this man.... WAIT! It's... A MIRROR... ... ... .... *falls over, passing out fro mblood loss

Looking for handmade or nifty products based on different fandoms. Trying to find fun little thing made by fans of these franchises that would be interesting, just little inexpensive trinkets that a fan would enjoy. Preferably i'd like to see more on big fandoms that i dont know much about though (Adventure Time, Twiilight, Game of Thrones, LotR etc) but frankly anything would be great =3 I usually use Etsy to find them, but whatever site is fine =3 Here's a few i have found. (Warning, lots of images)

Ywah, i suppose this will be a good learning moment for me... Avoid games in Alpha, buy a finished product... I'm already in the mindest of not preordering games unless i KNOW they're going to be great... after The Conduit, and Paper Mario Sticker Star... I dont think i'll be trusting anyone anymore...

Because there's a person on the floor choking out their last breath and covered in blood.

IS A MURDERER

So i recently bought Prison Architect from Steam... Looked like fun... Sims in a prison, what could be more cool? but... it's in Alpha... 0.90 i believe... and... god god... it's... nearly unplayable... I wont bore you with a wall of text, but it's so glitchy and unresponsive... the worker can't get anything built in a reasonable amout of time, and i end up having to start new prisons every 10 minutes because they can't build anything in time for the prisoners... Not to mention there's very little conveyance on what is needed... Your prisoners whine about being homesick and yet they enver use the phones you post around the prison... So yeah, is playing a game in alpha worth it? I got minecraft before 1.0, and i DID have fun with that, even moreso later on.. .but... this... ugh...

Eh, it certainly interesting... but waaay to complex for me... and for any sort of casual player... but, it's an interesting experiment...

"Thank you mum for giving into my dad's nagging that one night 22 years ago... Love you!" Yeah. that's what i'll say, hehe.... but i dont think i'll do much... I hate card, they feel so blegh... and expensive... flowers die... Cake seems more selfish cause i love cake... inever know what to get her for presents... ugh... i'll just say i lover her =P

y'know what Rose... Imma set up a new treehouse... Have fuuuun

I dont know how i feel about this... It's ads seem to teeter on the girly stereotype, although the regular MLP usually does too.... I think the fact that they have the same skin colour as their pony version makes it seem a little too off... too far into the uncanny valley... But, i'll withhold judgement until some REAL info comes out.

It's not hard, but it's tedious and unrewarding... The people treat you like a robot half the time... Some times there are good people, but when you thank the heavens that you get to clean all the bathrooms or take out the garbage just to do somethign different, yuo know something's wrong.... I call him Vulpus =3 He's my OC, and a brief version of his backstory is he lost his leg in a rockslide as a kid, got a prosthetic, and pushed himself to prove that he was still capable of great things while searching for his cutie mark, unaware that the 'scar' on his flank is actually his cutie mark.

hehehe, Yeah, i'm back =P You should come say hi some time! =D

Bwahaha! Nice, did you like... JUST draw that? Publix, it's in the south mostly, just entering NC, so you may not knwo about it... and i'm a cashier... dull as dishwater job... Trust me... if you can avoid it, go for a specific department... This is my job all day (*-*) / \ (*-*) \ / (*-*) / \ (*-*) \ / (*-*) / \ (*-*) \ / (*-*) / \ (*-*) \ / scanning **** for 6-9 hours...

(It's 1am, and i'm tired, so i didnt read the others posts... so if i'm just repeating them, sorry) I dont think it's somethign that they need to know... i mean, you dont need to hide it from them, but it's not somethign you need to announce... y'know... you wouldnt stand up during dinner and say "mum... Dad... I really liked Iron Man 3'...nor would you stand up and announce that you're part of the chess club at school... I mean if they asked, sure you'd tell them, but it's not something to be so freaked out about... I have a wall of stuff in the corner of my room, some of it with pony stuff... they haven't asked me about any of it, so i dont bother to tell them... Just enjoy yourself... If they ask you about it, just say 'its a character fro ma show i like," If they find it odd, Just shrug it off... You're happy, you're enjoying yourself... And they should be happy you're happy.

as a game, i think its kinda sub-par... the gameplay was pretty repetitive and it felt like the enemies were bullet sponges... And for a game that talk about all the... however as a talking point, i think it's incredible... It's something you could talk about for ages about possibilities, theories, etc... The summerized version of the story is kinda lame...

Uh, i got a Roxio Game Capture that won't work... tried getting a refund but i'm just gettign confusing automated messages that dont help... *grumble* I got some new shrits, Dr Who, Ponies and Mythbuster related. got my posters frames up and some of them are hung up now =3 i think that's all the 'recent' stuff...

I would say Fruit Salad, because i love a love them all =3 buuut... let's see... um... Fudge... (that's not my answer, that's me replacing expletives with appropriate words) I cna't think of any fruits... liek... al lthe fruits in the world are no gone... I work in a grocery store and i can't think of fruits... um... Fluttershy's a straberry cause she's too sweet and tender for me to handle, but i love her in small doses... um... that's all i got x-x

1: i hope to eventually bring more unique things to the market, like handmade objects that fans have made to a broader market. I have one person i'm chatting to who knits pokeballs, I want to go around and find more people who will sell me their handmade items so i can sell them, Something unique, something that you can't find in a store. Sure you can buy it from them online, but sifting through all the layer of internet to find them would be hard, i plan to dig them up and present them to the world! although because this might be a bit more pricey i may have to wait a while to get REALLY into that portions of my businesss. 2: Again, digging through ebay is hard.... looking throug ha shop and spotting something cool is much easier and i think happens more often... i mean i would love to buy one of these pokeballs and sifting through all the pages of plastic pieces of crud would lessen my desire for it. 3: As for lawyers, i assume you mean from Hasbro and whatnot? Its under free use. As long as i dont take anythign DIRECTLY from them, it's my own artistic interpretation... Thats why we have DBZ Abridged after 5 years. it may contain video from DBZ, but because they A: Add their own artistic interpretation, IE: A parody, theyre legally allowed to do it as long as they say "hey, this doesnt belong to us" than they're okay, and that goes the same for anything else. If you mean lawyer from the people i'm buying from, i plan to inform them that my intent is reselling their stuff and advertising for them as well. 4:Thanks, i understand, and thats why i'm trying to research everything i can... I'm actually going to the IRS tomorrow to see what sort of taxes and registration things i need t oget through... along with the bank to see about opening another account for said business.

Lol, yeah, i can imagine one of you jerks stealing it fro munder my nose =P But i do feel the name is a bit free-domain-y... A word you can't really say belongs to one person... But yeah, the real question. There are a couple of reasons... 1:The financial reason= Low risk, medium maintenance and high profit, easy money but you gotta have money first. 2: I originally wanted to start up a physical store because i felt there wasnt a place for people to buy their fan-related items besides Hot Topic and Spencers, neither of them being a real 'family friendly' place to be... i mean your grandma would never go into those places to get you a birthday present... but my store they would! 3:... I'm tired of working under someone... i'm tired of my future being based around someone elses subjective opinion of me and the quality of my being, especially whne they're being hypocritical about what they preach.... If my future relies on a person who tells me that i should utalize my time more wisely before going over and chatting with the office staff for ten minutes, than i'm dead in the water... So i'm gonna start my own business! Wit blackjack! And hookers! (references, sorry, hehe) But really, if i expect to see a brighter future, i'm gonna have to go out and get it myself!

I know what you mean, but still, there are more people than just the president and general who decide on going to war... There are politicians, lobbyists, citizens, interest groups, corporations, etc... They all have an impact on political decisions... and many of them are not in it for the same reasons that the soldiers are in it for...

It's good to know you're still as wacky as ever

So one thing i've been doing over the past month or so is create a financial plan in order to get a business loan in hopes of starting an online retail business... I'm pretty proud of what i've gotten done so far, and hopefully within a month i'll be selling stuff. So, what it will be is an online retail business selling shirts, accessories jewelry figurines and other thing related to popular pop culture figures fro mmovies, TV, games, comics, cartoons, etc. Basically if it's a thign that had a fanbase, i'll be marketing towards them. Now, of course i'll have shirts and hats and generic stuff like that, but i also plan on having more unique items. handmade things by true fans of the shows. Knitted stuff, sewn stuff, laser cut in the garage, things that were made wit hthe same passion that the fans of the show have, not just by a machine in a workshop with an 'officially licensed' logo on it. My goal is to get $5000 loaned to me, that way i'll be able to get a nice variety of designs (at wholesale price), a good amount of stock to start off, and some play money for more unique items as well as and fees that might come along... I've got my stock pretty much figured out... Got a couple of sites lined up, a couple of people who have agreed to sell me a bulk order of their handmade items, and i even have someone from Valve contacting me Friday to discuss wholesale of their products... my only issue is actually getting a site... Now, i have a friend who used to do HTML and ran his own sites that i will try to get in contact with... but if that falls through i have no idea how to get a site going... I've seen a few 'start your online store for free' things, but i dont trust them... after all you get what you pay for... And i don't mind paying for a quality site... but there's just so many shady places online that i can't think of who to trust... I saw that Kotaku had a deal where you could get a domain name for $20, $100 off their regular price... but what i have to do after that... no idea... I just hope my friend still lives where he use to... but if not, any help would be great... But, i also plan on going to conventions, local events, etc in hopes of getting some business, which won't be as hard i think... expensive maybe, but not hard... So, any advice? thoughts? anything you'd like to see in the shop?
