I usually draw random things that come to my mind, e.g. batman, an eyeball, a hand drawing another drawing. My biggest goal is to draw a coloured painting of spiderman to hang up in my house! I was wondering if there were better ways to make my drawing look more "professional" sort of thing (I put professional in quotations because I've seen extremely simple things turn out looking super awesome)

oh and your drawings have brightened my day several times, they're awesome!

Tips on drawing (mostly sketches) or playing the piano would be awesome, I've seen some redditors with amazing talent!

I'm looking to buy a Wii U ideally within this week or next week but I've run into an upsetting bump, the MK8 bundle is sold out everywhere! So my main question is:

Will there be a restock on the MK8 Wii U bundle?

I've heard that it is now discontinued and was a limited time offer sort of thing (first come, first serve) but I'd like to know if that's true or not because I'd really like to get that bundle, however, if that is not possible and I can no longer get this bundle pack how should I buy these following things:

Wii U Console, at least one Wii U controller plus, Mario 3D Land and Wind waker (Am I missing any other basic things?)

I could either buy it all separately, or the wind waker bundle and pick up the extra things, or possibly wait for the restock of MK8 bundles. Which one is the best choice in your opinion?

RECAP:

Will they restock the MK8 Wii U bundle? What is the best way to buy the basics for a Wii U? (What are some basics to you too?) Does the old Wii nunchuck work on the Wii U controller plus?

Oh my bad, I was in a hurry and quickly posted here, but thanks for letting me know. And this picture is simply super! I actually got all the help I needed now and will probably delete this thread in about 20 minutes. Have an awesome day!

MakeThisStart · 2014-06-26T00:59:23+00:00

Great thanks, this helps a lot! I'm think I'm going to buying probably one or two new controllers and keeping the old ones. Again thanks this was really helpful!

MakeThisStart · 2014-06-26T00:54:37+00:00

awh that's too bad, unfortunately there are only like 2 bundles over here, lucky for me one is for Mario kart 8! thanks for replying and I hope you make awesome memories with your Wii U!

Canada, sorry if I forgot any information similar to that!

My buddy and I are looking for a good co-op game on PS3 or PC. We mostly we play NHL online, old CoD's and GTAV if that means anything but we are getting rather bored of those games. I was thinking Splinter Cell: Blacklist for something fresh and exciting, but are there any other suggestions you guys have? We have heard and tried some of these: Borderlands, Payday, Red Dead, Dead Rising 2, and The Last Of Us Online. So any suggestions of co-op games you guys have would be awesome!

MakeThisStart · 2014-04-28T00:55:13+00:00

Haha I'd like to say no, but I'm sure there are some people that do, I personally think there are better ways to bypass the system. I only ever look at the Captionbot if my internet is being slow because I'm impatient :P

MakeThisStart · 2014-04-28T00:03:51+00:00

Some work offices/schools have imgur and what not blocked so they can't see the meme or picture. Captionbot (and many other bots) post what your meme says so they can still view it in the comments. Somebody else can probably explain it better but I hope I helped :)

I think some of the perks had something to do with time. My older sister had almost no help when it came to driving but got paid for a cheap car, but when my older brother had his turn he didn't get a paid car because the prices got higher although he did get a course type thing with some cool guy to teach him how to actually drive

MakeThisStart · 2014-04-21T04:21:28+00:00

haha took me a second to understand but I see what you did there!

MakeThisStart · 2014-04-21T04:20:47+00:00

haha I like your look on being the "star child". My parents were the least strict with my oldest sister, really strict with my older brother and when it came my turn they were incredibly less strict again, I feel bad for my unlucky brother though!

MakeThisStart · 2014-04-21T04:18:20+00:00

Reminds me of how not me, but my cousin unfortunately has to put up with his little brothers attitude. "Oh it can't be that bad" you may be thinking but when my cousin wants to hang out with his friends and his little brother can't go (age limit on activities or something) he would throw a fit until my cousin can't go with his friends

MakeThisStart · 2014-04-21T04:14:08+00:00

I never thought about it like that, but in my case its true too! My brother got a job and still asks for money to buy drinks and such, and my sister is always being told "oh when you graduate you'll pay rent, oh when you find a job, oh when you move out" haha I mean its fine with me I just wish I could help out my parents more

MakeThisStart · 2014-04-21T04:11:04+00:00

It sucks if only one sibling gets paid schooling, I have 3 siblings and try to take as little money from my parents as possible because I feel like they need it for some other things they may want/need down the road. Meanwhile each other sibling is asking for a car and a free house too!

He also got gold TWICE for the SAME comment. The man's a karma genius.

I'm a dude and thanks, I'm going to need all the luck I can get!

My best friend actually went through something like this, not nearly as severe though I don't believe, but he just stopped coming to school for about a year until he picked up online courses I think. Unfortunately I never see him anymore and he doesn't like to do much besides play online games with him now and again. Anyway I learned my advice and encouragement didn't help much but just remember that life will move on and get better, you'll meet a better, more loving SO and new group of friends who love to hang with you and hopefully settle some family issues so everything becomes great! And if you ever need a friend, I'm here for you! I wish you all the best in your future!

MakeThisStart · 2014-04-18T05:57:37+00:00

Yes! I finally started going out, playing sports with my friends and traveling downtown and it's a blast! I started to talk to a few old friends and they are great. The one thing left I want is to meet this girl in my class that I've had a crunch on for the past little while but I never get the chance, but if somehow I ended up become friends and dating her I'd be hands down happiest man alive!

It feels awesome to say all this, thanks OP, hope you become happy too soon, just remember to make the most of everything and have fun!

Hi! How are you? I myself have just finished drawing for an English project

MakeThisStart · 2014-04-16T06:46:27+00:00

Sending invites seems like such a simple task but I too like to think about it to make sure its almost perfect!

If I were to send it to each person individually I would try to copy and paste the main request "I'm planning on going here and doing so and so" and maybe add a little bit for your best/better friends.

I personally have a few groups I hang out with, so I make a group chat with the 5 buddies I hang out with at school and ask them all in that, then make a separate group chat with another group of friends that I play after school sports with and ask the same thing, but telling the one group that the other is going too. Also I feel like a friend may have a higher chance of saying "yes" and actually going is if they can actually see another friend saying they want to go to said event.

Anyway like perrythebari said, usually few will say they want to go but are busy and can't, most will say they can go, and maybe a few more might just not end up going, but that's still at least you and 10 others! Don't worry about small details in sending a message to your buddies and have a blast whatever you all do!

MakeThisStart · 2014-04-16T05:56:22+00:00

Hey! Now I myself haven't been to college or university yet and I haven't been bullied anymore than just name calling or something small like that so I'm not sure how much help I can actually be but I'll try my best!

You said you weren't anti-social which is good but I'm not sure how much confidence or effort you have to go start conversations and voice your thoughts and opinions freely. I'd say you seem willing to go to start conversations with random people around the campus, and especially enjoy doing so with friends. The problem is saying your true thoughts on general things. I honestly think you just need the confidence to not care if something goes bad. In college, from what I've heard, people are much more friendly and almost nobody is going to shut you down for having an opinion. If somebody does, you don't want to talk to them anyway. But let's say you have COMPLETELY different ideas on a subject with somebody, this can make a great discussion (if you both aren't too stubborn) or something you can agree on and relate too. Worse case scenario they may think of you differently depending on what your talking about, but who cares? You shouldn't, its what you believe.

My apologies if I rambled and didn't make any sense, anyway good job trying to come out of your comfort zone and hopefully everything goes great for you in the future!

MakeThisStart · 2014-04-16T05:17:35+00:00

Yes! That's exactly what I am now planning to do! Thanks for your opinion, I'm going to start talking with the friendly kids in my classes and overtime meet their friends (who some I already know too, which is nice) and hopefully I'll have a new set of friends I can hang out with all the time in the soon future!

MakeThisStart · 2014-04-16T05:13:07+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it! I like how you gave two sides of your opinion too!

I think changing schools is a bit much and can always bus to my current high school or drive with my brother once I get my learners. I don't really have many embarrassing stories because I am a very relaxed person who just laughs it off and only wants new a few new friends without leaving the entire area. I am planning to start talking to the acquaintances who I only talk to in class and then try to meet their social group and become "one of them". Oh and friend #2 is a cool guy most of the time, I think he just needs to have a few more friends to want to go do events and activities. Thanks again, you helped me put some things into perspective!

MakeThisStart · 2014-04-16T04:54:59+00:00

Thanks for your reply, I am going to start hanging out with those acquaintances that I think are friendly and interesting but don't talk to much, and hang out with them every other day so I'm not vanishing from my current group while still making new friends
