Advent of Games II: ENDGAME

Wingweaver ascends high into the air as her wings fold across her body. Her two highest wings fold to veil her face while the lowest wings interlace to shield her feet. With her last two wings, Wingweaver unleashes a brutal stream of light, not at Torika, but at Athena. Athena then absorbs this attack into her mirror shield, causing it to pulsate with power as Wingweaver continually feeds it energy. As Athena's shield's fluctuating glow reaches a critical mass of rapid blinking, Athena grips the ground with a sturdy footing and unleashes the power stored in her shield. The attack barrels unstoppably towards Torika like a holy laser canno

Advent of Games II: Turn 10

"My turn," Torika responds calmly. She picks her next card, but doesn't look at it, confusing her opponent somewhat. "...Aren't you going to look at your draw?" Neferi asks after a moment of pondering whether or not to state the obvious. Torika turns her head away as she drapes her empty hand over her face. "Kaos or not, I'm still the Daughter of Two Great Powers. I don't need to see what I drew because I chose it. But I can't hold out against my kaos forever. It could take control again, and I don't want her to see what my plan is." She then points sternly at Neferi. "I'm not making any play this turn. Now hurry up and move before

(Neferi: 5500LP / Torika: 8000LP) Torika glances at her card. "Your fate is in the cards, Pharaoh. Specifically these cards!" Torika declares, revealing the lone card in her hand. "I activate Card of Sanctity, allowing you to draw whatever six cards fate would privilege us with. But because I'm the Daughter of Two Great Powers, I can draw whichever six cards I want. You see, even without Doriado, my control remains firm," she asserts, drawing her six new cards. Neferi also draws a hand of six new cards. "Her control? What could she mean by that?" she ponders over Torika's strange nuance. "Though destroying Doriado didn't end the

The Pharaoh finds himself lost in the labyrinth of the Millennium Puzzle. Despite having traversed these halls for thousands of years, it is as if he discovers some new, previously unseen passageway each time he wanders through the puzzle's hidden depths, making any attempt to find his bearings in the place impossible. Regardless, he keeps moving and moving further and further away, making sure to not look back. The explosions from Neferi's duel with Torika are now but brief whispers, and it's doubtful he could find his way back at this point if he wanted to. The Pharaoh could tell what this Shadow Game was all about after the last exchan

The spirit of the Millennium Ring had abandoned his previous vantage point, now taking to traversing the warped architecture of the Millennium Puzzle. Still, he had overheard enough. "Piercing the barriers between worlds is a dangerous game, Torika. If the boundaries of our realities collapse, we would be exposed to the tampering hands of mortals. They walk the void, thinking themselves gods, despite being little more than fragile, flawed, perverse creatures! My dignity could not withstand such a sleight as what they might do to me... I once tried piercing the barriers, and I was not amused by what I saw. Neferi and the Pharaoh had bes

(Neferi: 8000LP / Torika: 8500LP) Neferi snags the top card from her deck. "My move. Now Jack's Knight, attack Elemental Mistress Doriado!" "Never!" Torika shouts in defiance. "I activate my face-down trap card, Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan! This card can be activated whenever I have monsters on the field of the Earth-attribute, the Wind-attribute, the Fire-attribute, and the Water-attribute." "But Doriado is a Light-attribute monster," Neferi protests. "Not once you factor her special ability," Torika explains. "Elemental Mistress Doriado is treated as a Light-attribute monster as well as an Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water attribute monster simu

Neferi slowly opens her drowzy eyes, groaning incoherently as she finds herself standing up. The last thing she can remember is falling unconscious after Victoria's attack from a supercharged Gate Guardian. As she observes what she expects to be the field of a hotly contested duel, she finds… nothing. No holograms, no cards, and most shockingly, no opponent. Victoria is nowhere to be seen, while the duel disk she was using now rests opposite Neferi, right where she would've been standing. "Neferi, you're finally awake!" the Pharaoh exclaims with relief. "…uhhhhh…" Neferi groans, still not quite at a hundred percent. "

The three girls stand around and stare at one another silently for a moment. "Yami, what can you sense about this girl?" Neferi asks. "I..." the Pharaoh begins, just as speechless as everybody else. "I've never seen anyone with a spirit quite like hers before. There's something else about her. It's very faint, but potentially very powerful, like she's trying to conceal it. I can sense another force within her. She's far more powerful than she may seem." "Figures…" Neferi responds. "…Uh…" Torika finally begins, breaking the awkward silence. "…Well, I know you guys are in a duel already, but… Would the winner

(Victoria: 6600LP / Neferi: 6100LP) Neferi draws her card and adds it to her hand. She then masterfully plucks another card from her hand and reveals it. "This monster can smear that eyesore of a bug off the field in no time! I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior!" (Breaker the Magical Warrior: 1600ATK / 1000DEF / Lv4 / Spellcaster / DARK) A knight in deep red armor appears on Neferi's side of the field. Its armor bears similarities to the armor worn by the Dark Magician and similar cards. The warrior's sword is embossed with a spherical gemstone that glows a bright blue a few moments after it is summoned. "Since you like monsters

"LET'S DUEL!" Victoria and Neferi announce in unison. (Victoria: 8000LP / Neferi: 8000LP) After drawing her opening hand, Neferi taps at the life point reader. "Uh, Yami? I think they're broken. The life point readout is twice the normal level." "Actually, that's the life point base for games where I come from," Victoria explains. "Our rules are a bit more concrete than the ones you use on your show. Seems like we're using my rules set for this duel." The Pharaoh glances up at Victoria, pondering the meaning of the game's sudden core rules change. "Be careful, " he warns Neferi telepathically. "If Victoria recognizes these rule

Schrodinger's Art

0 min read

(Note:  Pretend the "O" in Schrodinger has an umlaut.  Stupid obscure keystroke combos...) For a long while, I've been on Skype a lot more, so I haven't needed to blog in a while.  Usually I've been able to get out a number of thoughts out to most (if not all) of those who are paying any attention to me, so there's been no reason to blog.  But Skype is getting a little bare-bones lately.  Nasdreks has to bus to the library 1-2 times a week to get Internet.  I seem to keep missing WinxC1ub altogether like that gag of two people walking into opposite ends of a revolving door at the same time.  I already briefly brought this up to Suki, and thu

The IT Grindstone

0 min read

Some of you might have noticed a couple things about my online habits as of late.  For one thing, I haven’t released a blog in 3 months now.  And for another, I have a lot more disposable income.  (Or at least Nasdreks has noticed.)  Yes, there is a connection. At work, there are two general tiers of what people are doing.  In one tier, developers are actively working with clients on making their app of choice.  In another, those developers that aren’t actively working with clients get to work on internal projects that the company gives us for our enrichment (read: busy work) that, despite their insistence, never seem to get off

A Less Quick But More Fun Experiment (Mk II)

0 min read

(NOTE:  This is a wholesale copy of the blog "A Less Quick But More Fun Experiment", though with some elements changed a bit to accommodate some new functionality I added to the project while readying for a redeployment after the first one expired.  This new project shouldn't expire until sometime in March, if at all.  I forget, and I don't want to check the source code right now to find out when this thing needed to be on the Internet last week.) A big thank you goes out to all those who took part in my last experiment.  If you still haven't downloaded the Simon test (which I'm likely to just keep monitoring indefinitely, as I need all the

Hey Drake! Happy Birthday. I know I'm a day early, but you know, internet.

Oct 1, 2014

I can't remember the last time I celebrated a birthday on the day anyway.

Also, sorry I'm a little slow on getting you new commission notes. As it turns out, Cyrus is an incredibly complicated design that I didn't put as much thought into as I probably should have, and I'm not at all helped by encroaching parents who think I have nothing better to do with my time than fix their computers when they break them.

Oct 1, 2014

No worries, like I emailed you, being sick for almost a month put me a bit behind in pretty much everything.

Oct 4, 2013

Hey, remember that birthday present I was promising you? Still on the way just taking way longer than I wanted it to due to me being nitpicky and a perfectionist. What I'm making you is an official logo for Science and Sorcery, but all my typography is looking really lame at the moment. I'll be posting some sketches on Tumblr this weekend, so I want your input on it.

Oct 2, 2013

Happy Birthday pal! Your present is going up today because I didn't finish in time but it is on your way!

Oct 3, 2013

You remembered!

And strangely enough, I barely remembered. Heck, if the length of my latest blog was any indication, it was what I could scribble down in a lunch break at work today.
