Review of Yesterday:
Woke up and went to my mom's house. I had to be present for the nurses to examine my grandmother. I really don't like one of them, she's a purple person. Afterwards I went to Kaiser and bought a crapload of cold medicines for under $20! I then drove over to safeway to buy Allie some kleenex, the kind with lotion. Then I went home, played some DotA, and looked for some freeware that I could use to make my Puck video idea become a reality. I learned somethings about 3D imaging software (things like it was not at all what I was looking for to make the video) and I checked my HD space. seemed I only had 6GB of free space out of 93GB. After freaking out a bit and swearing a whole lot i decided to uninstall a couple of programs. That only cleared up about 1GB of space, so I thought "there has to be some kind of program that would show me the largest files on my computer to allow me to free up space," and I found it. Seemed legit so I tried it out and it worked pretty well, I found out that all the Steam Applications were taking up over 25Gb worth of space (in the uninstall list it only shows the Steam client, not all the games with it). After uninstalling Steam and its apps (games... I'll d/l the ones I use the most at a later time) I defragged and cleaned up my HD to free up more than 40 gigs of free space. All is right again in the world.
Review of imaginings:
I thought about a "class" called shield master. I figured that out of all the conventional weapons out there, people forget that pretty much anything can be a weapon. I guess the idea sprouted from Kung-fu Panda, where you could nurture your general nature to become your own personal style of fighting. Using this idea I wanted to branch away from the conventional means of element manipulation or weapon mastery, and go with more unconventional ones. I thought of a clan/tribe/minority of some sort (because I know someone was thinking about it) that specialized in creating and using shields. I had a silly idea that there would be some kind of superior metal that there was so little of, that they would dress or adorn their children in them, so they looked like little warriors, but were somehow easily more well protected than even the soldiers (gotta keep those kids safe, you know?). The men would mine the ores while the women crafted and manipulated them to perfection, styling them in the manner of their house, which would be of great pride for them, and also serve a different specialized role. Some shields would be used for general loose armor, some as actual shields, some to make suits of armor so intricate that they would fold over each other leaving the wearer neigh impregnable (think of an armadillo), and others for simple attacking or throwing. I don't know whether to think of them in DotA terms (cause I can think of a new hero idea >.<) or for use in an rpg, anime, or manga. Guess I'll put that on the back burner for now.
