Well this is interesting...

Wed Jul 8, 2009, 10:14 PM
When I looked at my notes, something rather peculiar happened. At first I thought it was some sort of Phish, or some other kind of retarded spam, but this one seems to be far more serious.

So this is what the note said
"If someone by the name of Alfred Hundana (dragon_heart620) wants to add you to their buddy list, don't accept it. It's a virus. Please tell everyone on your lists, because if someone on your list addes them, you may get the virus too. This virus is a hard-drive killer. We need to find out who is using this account."

I thought this was something of great importance, and so I might as well share, plus, I don't joke about viruses, the last one got in, it prevented me from actually starting up my computer.

It seems its being sent to almost every user, starting with the letter "A", and I'm just wondering, have you gotten this note?

Major redoing of Kaiju series

Fri Jun 12, 2009, 4:10 AM
Alrighty then, now since I'm currently having summer holiday, I'm going to a lot of redoing regarding Jovis' saga.

I felt I needed redoing of Jovis' origins especially. Instead of an alien, he's going to be an earth mutation, blasted by some sort of weapon similar to a nuclear bomb. The animal Jovis' based on is going to be some sort of reptile, not a crocodile or monitor lizard but rather a very unique kind of lizard from a different suborder of squamata.

I'm also going to change the focus. Originally the main characters were teenagers finding out about Jovis after a super large military attack, but I got sick of that idea and moved on to something more interesting. The main characters are going to be soldiers from different armies of the world. One of the main characters I already introduced in my sketches, Ryan McCarthy.

Plotlines are going to be heavily oriented on just about everything, especially military and politics. For example civilians would have a hard time adapting to rising amount of kaiju attacks, fighting kaiju will become harder if recessions strike because governments would have trouble building up stronger defenses as they have a crippled economy and can't fund for those defenses. Nation against nations will also a role, and also terrorism.

Science will have also have a very large part in the saga. In my vision of 2100, genetic engineering has improved drastically, so much that extinct animals are cloned, and alter genes of different species to an extent they have features that are more pronounced, like larger claws, inelligence or adaptability. Mechanics also has a big part in a way that robots are starting to assist humans more, and that some machines actually cooperate with humans with a wide variety of emotions. However, more dangerous uses are also present, especially when people with such capability uses it for things like terrorism.

I would like some opinions on the redo, does it make more sense? Is there anything can be improved.

My take on "Predator X"

Fri Apr 3, 2009, 4:04 AM
You probably have seen "Predator X" on History Channel right? I say Pliosaurs are extremely powerful predators, and this one is amazingly huge. However, I seriously doubt about their method of measuring bite force.

From what I have seen on the internet (I don't have history channel at home, so I rely on the web for my movies), they claim that by using a crocodile (or was it an alligator), which can weigh as much as 3, full grown, 500 pound lion,(or if it is an alligator, 500 pounds) and tested that its bite is around 2500 pounds, a little less powerful than an alligator, but beats any bear and hyena. Now from that estimate if a 1500-2000 pound crocodile can do that much, then a 45 ton animal 33,000 pounds.

Now I find that method of estimation filled with holes. The biggest hole is using size. Now just because the animal is significantly bigger, does not mean the bite force trend goes along with its weight. For example, it might work with animals like deinosuchus, an animal that is identical the American alligator, or Megalodon, an animal that is nearly identical to a great white shark. But you are talking about a pliosaur, something far different from any gator, or croc. There jaws have a very low profile, and are quite narrow, I don't think the jaw muscles would be all that big.

These pictures might give you a better understanding of what I mean about Pliosaur jaws

I feel that they should only focus on jaw and neck muscles only, plus the animal's jaw structure, because comparing weights of different animals is irrelevant when it comes to estimating bite force, and that was how we got Tyrannosaurus's and Dunkleosteus's bite forces, since both animals are very different from today's birds and fishes, and we cannot rely on their modern relatives to help much.

This is just my opinion, what do you think?
