Aw man, you know, that's one of those facts that I do know in the back of my head, because of engineering principles and the laws of thermodynamics, but reading it makes me cringe all the same. Imagine putting on a suit of armor, knowing it could become your icy tomb. Holy crap.

Oh, gotcha, yeah, I have no idea why that was an oversight. Especially given how cold the region is, you'd think having more armor and the requisite padding underneath would be a good thing.

Why should he regret it? He learned how not to make a game, and it didn't influence Lanza's mindset at all. He has no responsibility for what happened, it was probably a bonding moment for him and his friend, he's obviously cleaned up his act since then, and his name isn't tied to it in any way. Why should he regret…

A+ comment, brother. You really can't say "video games don't cause (gun) violence" and then turn around and say "video games cause (sexual) violence." It's violence either way, and it's not the game maker's fault.

The problem here is that you seem to think a 13 year old who was mad about getting in trouble would understand the artistic value of a video game.

That's just how the armor was designed.

It deeply saddens me that more cosplayers don't do this. Instead, most Skyrim cosplayers I see add boob cups and remove a lot of the leather underneath.

Fun fact: the costume isn't done yet. She's gonna darken the gambeson and remake the bow so it's fully functional with a 20 pound draw.

Dear MomoCon,

You know, I don't get all this "Skyrim looks like Game of Thrones" crap. I've been reading the books, and finally took a look at the TV show, and other than the fur coats in Winterfell, absolutely nothing is similar. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the only way I'd watch the Game of Thrones TV show was if its…

I watched her painting it, and I can assure you that in-person it would be dirty enough. Unfortunately, cameras wash out a lot of those details.

It's still not correct even if she is using the Korean-style thumb draw. There's a lot of different aspects to having good form and a consistent draw in archery, and she's missing a majority of them because she, like Harrison Krix and wife, does not practice archery as a hobby, so she just doesn't know.

That's what I want, personally. I want the entire world available, beyond the boundaries of Skyrim, as things should be in the 4th age.

Hey, cosplayer friends, a tip to take your costumes to the next level: if you're going to do wound and scar make up, go ahead and take the time to add battle damage to the outfit and props. Bend some rings into a "hit" shape in the chainmail, put rips and cloth and seal the edges with FrayCheck, use sandpaper on…

Okay, so to all the people like me who believe that the comic was not in fact a rape joke and that, to a certain extent, Mike should've defended that, here's the deal. While he's free to believe whatever he wants to believe, and make non-PC comments, and while we all may believe that the world will be a better place…

It's really not fun being angry at thousands of people who are angry at you. If only for his own happiness I hope he succeeds with this resolution.

Yeah, he's just throwing some mud at Luke, not talking about the actual situation. Luke always phrases things in the most inflammatory way possible, just like many authors on here, even if it's not the truth.

It's also got the best art I've ever seen in a comic.

On that last note, I am so mad about Anduril's design. I wanted to get a peened version but that's obviously not possible, so the next best thing is a threaded tang with a nut on the exterior of the pommel (rather than female threads inside the pommel) because it provides the same kind of force to hold the sword…

This is one of the few ones where he gets that right, and even then, the way it moves loosely in the crossguard is not a desirable quality. He's not a true swordsmith, he's a prop maker.
