Image Retrieval - January 31, 2007

Walrus is living it up in San Diego for some big Community Relations conference, so here I am with a crude attempt at this week's Image Retrieval! What we have for you today is a little sequence showing an RSI Pill (work in progress) in ac...

Rare's Avatar Mystery Theater

I have way too much fun slowly releasing avatar hints at my little semi-weekly sketches for some people to miss just because they may not be logged in at a certain point on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. So, here's where I'm going to catalog...

Mach 1.1.1 and 1.1.2

So to follow up on what you asked in Ask a Dev, the missions are in the correct order in the mission archive. They happen to be the first missions I did (the only 1.1 missions I did--Machine 1.1.3 isn't mine). We were following our old mis...

//Integrated Effort

Great job getting a very clean "schematic" type side view, especially with the eyes like that. Ooh, and the lighting, very nice. *gracefully resists urge to make "nipple clamp" comment*

The Year the Agents Took the Pine

Yeah, Poppy was a good guy. When he passed on, just a little while back, his funeral had about the biggest turnout I've ever seen. Martin Harris--Martin Harris the superstar--was there, crying like he was fresh out of high school again. Ha...

The Year the Agents Took the Pine

A sudden snort from Poppy startled me out of my reverie. It really didn't pay to doze off around him. "There's just one thing I can't figure out," he said, more to himself than to me. "What's that?" "Smith. He missed. He just plain missed...

I think it was about then that I realized we were talking about them in the past tense, like they weren't around anymore. And in fact, they weren't, as far as anyone knew, then or since. The league would announce the dissolution of the tea...

The Year the Agents Took the Pine

Poppy announced his retirement that same day. I like to joke that he couldn't go on, having lost his scowl. Once everything died down a bit, I went to meet him at the usual place--a dark old dive, where the owner knew it was in his interes...

The buzzer sounded, and the team went back to work. Get the ball to Harry. Get it up. Get those three points. Come on. "Smith for two..." "Harris for three!" "Brown for two..." "Harry lets loose with another three!" It was pure insanity. I...

Harry came out firing. Lee would bring the ball down the court carefully against his Agent defender, then get it to Harry--or to someone who could get it to Harry--dancing around just outside the three-point line. His defender never tried...

The Year the Agents Took the Pine

The next day, coach shut himself and the team up in the locker room before the game. I did a double-take when I saw them come out on court. They weren't goofing around like they had been the day before, or even the last time we played the...

Aside from having to endure one more game against the Agents--coach just sat on the sideline, with storm clouds gathering over his head, but Harry made my job a bit easier by clowning around, taking crazy half-court shots just for the heck...

The next day was a butchering. It was the most boring game I'd ever had to call. "Smith takes the in-bounds... Dribbles across the center line... He's covered... Passes to Williams... Williams has it near the left baseline... No double thi...

The Year the Agents Took the Pine

Since we were in the other division, we only had to play the Agents a few times over the course of the season. I'd never actually seen them in the flesh, as it were, so once they got into town, I went to watch them practice; oh yeah, that...

The Year the Agents Took the Pine

It was an expansion year for the league, and Washington, in the other division, got a new team. They were called the Agents, after the FBI or CIA or something, I guess. As a general rule of thumb, you can count on an expansion team to just...

Yeah, it was fun calling the games that season, even though it was another losing one overall. A lot of the older players retired or got themselves traded in the off-season; Harry didn't rub a lot of people quite the way they wanted to be...

I was searching the Internet for the most common last names. I wanted to write a story about Machine Agents, see, and everyone knows they always have real generic names--to make them seem more cookie-cutter, I suppose, and to correspond wi...
