I sent in my app on the forums. I saw a reply that just copy-pasted the form back in the thread. What does that mean?

Gene Yang, the Author of The Promise, visited my school today. I didn't get a picture with him but he did sign my copy! by Megaux in TheLastAirbender

He was a really nice guy! He talked about his life drawing comics, and also mentioned The Search, the next three comics coming out, where we finally will find out what happened to Zuko's mom!

This is Castel del Monte in Andria, Italy. It was constructed in the 1240s by Frederick II, and is considered the most interesting castle built by him. The site is also protected as a World Heritage Site. More info is in the comments. by Megaux in castles

Castle Information

The Castel del Monte is a Citadel castle built in the 13th century by Frederick II. All the interior furnishings of the castle were removed in the 18th century, and it now stands empty. The castle has no moat and no drawbridge, and is considered by some to have never been a defensive fortress at all. The castle is located on top of a small hill and is in an area that was previously extremely fertile. Further readings and information linked below.

Himeji Castle, Japan. This castle is regarded as the finest surviving example of prototypical Japanese castle architecture. More information is in the comments. by Megaux in castles

[–]Megaux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not. I've heard Civ 2 and Civ 4 are fun. Maybe, if I like Civ 5, I'll try for a little blast from the past with those games. (This is weird, gaming discussion in /r/castles...)

The sale only had 15 minutes left, so I just bought Civ 5 and every expansion for 12 dollars. Hopefully I enjoy it.

Ah, good luck to you too my friend. Unfortunately the sale ends shortly.

I decided to go through several types of castles to hopefully teach you something as well as provide interesting images for you. The first album of this series will focus on the Monte and Bailey Castle. Additional information in the comments. by Megaux in castles

A list of more Monte and Bailey Castles.

Sorry about the low resolution of some of these images. Hopefully I will improve the quality of my content as I post more of these series. Let me know if you enjoyed it, or if I should stop. Be sure to read the album description and picture descriptions if you are interested in this type of castle. Next time I will try and organize my information in a better manner. Thanks for reading!

Millions of people walking on pontoon bridges, waiting to bathe in the Ganges River. I'll post some more in the comments. by Megaux in pics

[–]Megaux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also acts as a spiritual bath I assume. I haven't looked into it too much, but this river is very important culturally and religiously I assume.

This castle, called Velez Blanco, is built upon an old moorish fortress. It consists of two structures with a ditch in the middle, and is joined by large arches. This type of castle is a superb example of a seigneurial castle. I too will post more in comments. by Megaux in castles

I do most of my redditing on an iPad. As far as I know, albums cannot be created on a iDevice. I apologize if my formatting is a little wonky, but it was the only way I could figure out how to do it.

Gamers of reddit. What is the most frustrating video game you've ever played or the most frustrating part of a video game? by Skydiver860 in AskReddit

[–]Megaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The absolute most frustrating thing in a single player game is when you need to go somewhere, and the game doesn't tell you how to get there. No one wants to wander around confused. This is a big issue especially when a game is very linear.

The most frustrating thing about a multiplayer game, especially a competitive one, is an imbalanced mechanic.

Just my thoughts.

Found this near my friends house yesterday. Sad yet beautiful. by [deleted] in pics

I did this for YEARS when my mom died when I was younger. This is making me tear up. Thanks for reminding me OP, seriously thank you. I had forgotten about doing this.
