2009, Whatta Year (And Surprise)!
Dec 30th
2009, what a year, am I right? It’s been a year of trials and tribulations, growth and learning experiences, and things that forced you to break out of your shell and do something new. How funny, if you think about it, I’m also describing the events of the X-men. Even funnier, I’m specifically describing two X-men in particular: Psylocke and Angel. How ironic is that… or maybe it’s just a coincidence that the “X”-lovers also happen to have similarities in their experiences this year. So what better way to end the year than to bring those two non-lovebirds back together for a one-off mission set in current day Marvel? I can’t think of anything better, and apparently they couldn’t either. Pics after the jump.
Happy Holidays from FRP!
Dec 25th
We at FRP would just like to take some time out and say happy holidays to all those who visit the site. We did have a present planned to premier around this time, but thanks to some unfortunate circumstances, that got pushed back. Oh well. Maybe that project will still pop up, maybe not. We’ll see. But in the meantime, enjoy your holidays, whatever it may be!
The Inner Workings of a Collaboration
Dec 8th
It’s no big secret that I’ve been part of several collaboration projects over the years ranging from small FX based efforts to whole team-based mods. The thing about these types of situations though is that they never tend to come without their share of work. The pros are nice, but you have to factor that against the cons. When you’re part of a group, you tend to really discover who you can and cannot work with. The document that follows are some things I’ve picked up on and learned from all the FF based alliances I’ve had over the years. Maybe it’ll help you out, maybe it won’t. Eh. Your choice. 
Math made easy… online?
Dec 4th
Math has never been a favorite subject of mine. Ok, well, I’m lying. It actually WAS one of my favorite subjects growing up until I got a certain teacher I just didn’t mesh well with… at all. Bad memories aside, math ceased being fun for me and became a chore that I hated to do. Luckily, I found a tool that helps to make that chore much easier by having the problem solved online. Hey, I’m not advocating cheating, but this little tool solves a great deal of problems you can throw its way, can plot, and even will show you the steps it took for solving the problem so you can try it out yourself. It could actually be a great teaching/study tool for those not so keen on particular math subjects themselves. Need more convincing? Here’s an example:
Just a General F.Y.I.

In case you ever wondered how I might feel about sparkly vampires, this video should be a good indication (courtesy of G4TV):
Remember, when dealing with vampires… use protection.
