My other interests are music, writing, creating fictional languages (about the only use for my linguistics degree i have come up with) and also playing around with whatever new feature's been added to Blender this week. I'm currently in the middle of production on an indie game doing sound/writing/elfspeak but there's no shapeshifting anything in it so it shall be mentioned no further. Making games is hard.
Speaking of games with shapeshifting, i have played too many hours of Skyrim for my own good and my wood elf character is still a werewolf despite this knackering his levelling speed. Tearing through forests at high velocity and doing power-howls at bears who get too bold is just too much fun, and when the guards quizzically remark on fur growing out of my character's ears or disturbing wolfish grins it makes me smile.
I'm surprised it hasn't got more attention on this board, though that could be because people are too busy playing it.If i had to pick a favourite werewolf movie it would probably be Howling 3: The Marsupials. Yeah, the original Howling had the coolest-looking werewolf and AWIL had the coolest transformation scene, and UK Being Human's George is still my favourite screen werewolf, but in my heart i like stuff that's properly off-kilter and odd-funny even better. (And before anyone pipes up and says it was about werethylacines, the Russians were both werewolves.) Didn't like that recent one with Benicio del Toro too much, transformation effects were OK but it still looked a bit weightless and artificial like a lot of CG does. The gore was fun.
That's about it. No clue where the other Australians are on this board if there are any but hello to you all, regardless of nationality. Seeyas.
