cel-shaded animation

Err...I'd feel iffy about that, myself.

I think cel-shaded animation can make really nice graphics if done correctly in video games. Sort of like the 2008 Prince of Persia and Jet Set Radio Future. Gives something different to look at.

And I think I'm thinking of turians too much. I was reading this extract from a Journal about Mesopotamia, and I swore for a second that word was 'turian', then realised the word was turanian.

Evening all - Friday night musings:



I've just seen a good friend of mine belly dancing on stage she is friggin awesome - I think Garrus would approve! What do you guys think?



However I have also just finished watching the spectacle that is Eurovision too - now I'm not sure what Garrus would think of that - perhaps his choice would be the Latvian Spice Girls, or maybe that dude with the weird haircut from Serbia, or perhaps that woman from Iceland whose voice was bigger than that Volcano I can't pronounce, or maybe that nice little Belgian boy with the acoustic guitar - oh the choice - oh the humanity!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm... belly dancing would certainly be 'exotic' by turian standards (can they even have bellies with their carapace?) Good on you mate, though.

I think it's already been established that Garrus has questionable music tastes, so Eurovision would be right up his ally! lol

Lativan Spice Girls. Clearly.

I don't think a Turian could do the "shimmying" with a carapace! You need to be soft and squishy for that.

2nd Semi results have just come in for Euro  - unfortuneately Latvian spice girls didnt make it...... poor Garrus!  Didnt see the 1st semi so will have to wait a couple of days for the final - I'm sure there is a group worthy of Garrus's tastes!

Damn, now I'm tempted to buy the alt. outfit DLC.

Thats a modded version of the Alt outfits. So it has blue in it since thats his signature color.

That's what I meant by 'exotic'.

"Look at that. It's almost... hypnotic."

Oh, I'm sure. OK, Garrus fangirls: who is up for Garrus Eurovision Happy Hour? on Sat?!

Eurovision

Did you see the Bielorussian group, with the girls who sprouted butterfly wings? I'm ashamed of my homeland sometimes...

The Moldovan guys were quite uh...special too (at least, I think it was the Moldovans). The one who was spinning around on a platform while playing the violin, and the one who was humping his saxophone, in particular...Or doing the Mr Bean dance with his saxophone. It looks much the same.

[Sialater]

I'm pretty sure asari would be lining up for belly-dancing classes. And the turians would call it indecent.

Oh yes they were ..... very relevant to my name ......and shiny

As for the Moldovan guys - they were the ones spinning and had mohawks/mullets?  And yes I did recall the intimate moment with the sax (get a room!) and the woman had some sort of Lady Gaga outfit on.... ahhhh Eurovision.....

Traditional belly dancers don't like the dance being oversexualised - which could happen if the Asari get hold of it! I guess Turians are supposedly pretty uptight as a species, so that doesnt surprise me!

[Collider]

I think the Turians may be able to enjoy the dancing. So far as any perceived sexuality from it, it's not as if there was a shortage of turians staring at strippers and dancers in both games.

Well, we already established the asari as a whole have a human fetish and want to steal our men....   Good thing we all like one particular turian.

[janeym27]

Everyone likes the asari!



(although it hardly seems sanitary)

I think the Asari as a race was wasted potential.

Do elaborate, Collider.

We seem to know a lot about the Asari as a race, yet they are also the one I find the least interesting (which might be connected).

Also, the whole "you spend your maiden years as either a stripper or a mercenary" thing seems... odd. Are those the only things that need doing in the asari world? (sexest interpratation: is that all an all-feminine society would care about?)

Turians are my favourite SciFi race, and I feel that we know very little about them still.

Possibly because they're oversexualized and skirt the cliché line very often? For all Liara's offended posturing about people misunderstanding her race...they really do seem to have a pretty promiscuous outlook in general and enjoy the whole "stripper-mercenary" combo, which flavours a bit too much of "space-babe'ness" to me. Even Samara (whom I do like in spite of it), who's supposedly old and an ascetic monk/paladin type wears tight leather with an 'O.o' inducing cleavage. It would be pretty easy to call her a tease after the way her "romance" plays out.

[AngryP1xel]

I think the whole stripper/mercenary thing is what asari that have yet to decide what they want to do with their lives wind up doing. They take very little effort for an asari. They're all biotics which means they can easily be a mercenary and being a stripper takes next to no effort when you're a naturally attractive female. The two jobs require no education to get into and all asari have the natural ability for either.

Hey guys, I'm sorry I never post. :| I feel like a traitor to our Garrus loving fangirl species.
In case you want to see the progress on that picture again:

In case you don't. Hi. As for the samara thing, she's a Justicar, which represent the highest of the asari species,and I'm absoloutely sure she was a mercenary at one point. Even though she rejected it later, it still doesn't decrease the evidence for generalization much though.

That picture is looking wonderful, danitiwa. Garrus looks so dashing. I can't wait to see the finished product.

[Sialater]

She admits to having been a pirate, but left that life when her pirate band branched into slavery. She killed her crew and released the slaves, IIRC.



Apparently, she can now throw stones. If you take her on a walkabout of Omega, she says she should go back there after the suicide mission and fight the injustices. Hmmm.... who does that sound like?

Love how the drawing's coming along, Dani! Keep up the amazing work!

Also, regarding the “we get too hung up on the anaphylactic shock” thing: I think it’s fun to focus on that for the lulz. Xsause’s “Of course I want to have sex which could possibly kill me” line is still one of my favourite things on the internet.

Hehe, do you want a banner?

I've seen this mentioned before: dextro-DNA based stuff is supposed to taste sweet. But how would anybody know...?

The sugars we eat are based on a dextro-chirality. If you think about how the body identifies and processes various molecules, it is possible that it's designed to recognize any dextro-molecule as it recognizes sugar. Hence, Garrus tastes like liquid sugar. Maybe.

The body's identification of molecules is probably where the idea of possible toxicity or anaphylactic reaction plays into the whole thing as well. If the molecular structure of something can't be recognized, it is an unacceptable foreign influence and the body will react to be rid of it. In theory. Maybe.

Nobody knows why life on Earth is predominatly levo-amino based. There are exceptions to the rule as well, but then we're talking bacteria levels of exceptions and bacteria always provides exceptions to the rules. Outside of amino acids, quite a few molecules exist in both its dextro and levo forms. Take various medicines, there will be both chiralities of a certain drug chemical, but the body only processes one form.

But really, I don't know. Just long hours playing with my stupid molecular model set so that I could process molecules that were mirror images of the other. It was not my strong suit in Organic Chemistry.
