Daily Pattern: Quest for Loot

Topic: Fantasy

This topic is late but I feel like it is timely nonetheless. After all, what better week to make a Fantasy themed pattern than the week that Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim comes out!?

Awwwwwww snap. The refrain I always sing while playing a great RPG is "GIMME DAT LOOT, FOOL!" Gold! Gems! Blades! Recipes! Books! Rings! Wands! Helmets! Boots! Gauntlets! Flasks! Potions! Skulls! Herbs!

I don't care! I'll loot it all! Even if I can't use it, I want to sell it! Enchant it! Trade it! Break it down and combine it!

Sorry I'm getting so worked up, but I've been waiting for this game for a long time. This pattern is dedicated to some of my favorite loot: the weapons and the cash-monies... Although in hindsight I feel bad for not including Lindsay's weapon of choice: big ol' hammers!

Daily Pattern: Dragons

Sometimes you just have to draw some dragons.

Daily Pattern : Adventure

Topic : Fantasy

A long time ago in a kingdom far away, there was a game called Adventure, for the Atari. That game single handedly began my love affair with nerdy fantasy adventure games. I remember freaking out when the dragons came near, and I remember getting confused and thinking they were giant seahorse/ducks. If you've ever played it, you know exactly what I mean. The keys, though, were the other most important part of the game. You had to race to get each color key in maze after crazy-maze, in order to unlock the gates of several multi-colored castles. Chris and I played all the way through it once more when we found it on the Playstation 3 (I think that's where it was?), and had a grand old time beating it. It's still one of my favorites, and it's still really hard.
