"Ask a Furry" on Radio From Hell, X96 in Salt Lake City, UT

Furries In The Media - Sun 12 Jan 2014 - 00:12
So me and a few fellow furries got on the radio, and i thought i would share what happened.

First, I live in Utah. Right before our startup con Unthrocon at the end of August, one of the radio shows found out we were having the convention. I decided to write in a letter, which they read on the air. The recorded show can be found here. They asked if they could set up an "ask a furry" segment, and have people ask questions. This was arranged.

Today we had our "ask a furry" segment. Show recording can be found here. Personally, i thought it turned out well. They were very interested in finding out about fursuits, fursuit sex, and the like. We did our best to make the fandom sound good, and delved very little into the sexual end of it. Overall, i thought it turned out pretty well. I know they were going for more of a 'shock and awe' story, but found we are more normal than they thought.

Thought you would like this.

This Amreican Life

Heard this story on the "This American Life" radio show over the weekend. She doesn't say that she's a furry, but she fits the profile to a "t."

Dr.Phil wants furries.

Furries In The Media - Sun 12 Jan 2014 - 00:03

Looks like Dr.Phil is looking for furries to appear on his show.

I've heard rumors that Evil Sibe has been chosen already to appear on the show.

Sibe is already banned from many conventions for his behaviors and antics, I can only imagine how this will go over.

Review: ‘Decision at Doona’, ‘Crisis on Doona’, ‘Treaty Planet’ and ‘Doona’, by Anne McCaffrey and Jody Lynn Nye

Furry News Network - Sat 11 Jan 2014 - 23:39
Author: Fred Decision at Doona by Anne McCaffrey (1926-2011) is one of the classics of science fiction, and one of the most encouraging examples of the basic plot of humans and Furry aliens learning to live and work together in harmony. Published in 1969, it was one of the favorite novels of the proto-Furry fans […]

Furry Reddit - Sat 11 Jan 2014 - 22:14

I am a furry and moved to California from England in November. There is barely any furry groups in England and I now live in tracy, ca 1 hour away from sf bay (Milpitas, Fremont etc) and the amount of furrys is crazy! Any furries live near tracy, Livermore or Dublin?

Metal Gear Rising PC Problems & Fixes

Gaming Furever - Furry Game News - Sat 11 Jan 2014 - 22:10

Metal-Gear-Rising-Revengeance-PC

Sadly for PC users like myself, we tend to get a lot of port-jobs that are pretty poorly done, lacking options and optimization. Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is one of those cases, though luckily there are many users out there who refuse to just let it go without trying to fix what they can.

That said, here's some common problems that currently exist within the game and a few fixes people happened to find.

1. You can't play the game offline/ The game is always online.

This is actually an unintentional bug and Konami has already said they're working to fix it.

2. The game crashes in fullscreen.

Supposedly this happens most often with users playing on a TV rather than a monitor, and so far Konami's only advice is don't play it on a TV if possible. Hopefully they'll actually fix in the future.

If you're on a monitor and this still happens to you, try this application for forcing borderless window mode and see if it helps.

If the game doesn't run any higher than 24FPS then try using the borderless window app linked above and make sure you're running it at your monitor's native resolution as that can cause problems too.

3. The game won't save.

This one happened to me personally, and the I found a fix that worked for me (and many others). On windows 7 or 8, and probably any other version, go into the games files and change the .exe to run as administrator. For whatever reason that seemed to fix it for me.

4. Bonus easter egg.

This one is just a fun little thing Konami included for the PC version of the game that unlocks everything (VR missions, character DLC, codecs, etc.)

Just put in the Konami code when it says "press start". If Raiden says the title of the game Resident Evil style you did it right.

Using the Xbox 360 Controller/Emulator: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start

Using the keyboard (don't if you can help it): Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Action, Jump

 

If there's another problem you've encounted and found a fix for please do post it in the comments so we can help everyone to actually play this game without issue.

Weekend of drawing practice. Taking requests for canine portraits.

Furry Reddit - Sat 11 Jan 2014 - 22:02

Done for now. going to work on homework. If I still have time after that I'll knock out some of the remaining requests. It's been fun guys.

Better photos are posted to FA now. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/mrshrike/

I've been drawing almost daily since July doing mostly direct-from-photo work. I'm finally to the point where I feel comfortable enough to step away from the photos and take some requests. I have never done this before so it will be quite the experience. Now, I'm asking for canine(or something close) heads, because that is the anatomy I am most familiar with and I need to conquer this before I can move on. It is also easy to detect errors in symmetry and shape with heads, which is what I'm focusing on right now.

Examples: http://imgur.com/a/0JXgL

If you would like a semi-realistic portrait post a reference and anything I should know and I'll see what I can do. I'll try to give more personality to your characters than there is in the examples. I'm planning on drawing from now til Sunday night, but being in a dorm things may come up. This is new territory for me, so we'll see how it goes.

Edit. I'll get some better quality scans up on FA when I have access to a scanner.

Fur Friendly TF2 server up and running!

Furry Reddit - Sat 11 Jan 2014 - 21:12

Heya guys.

I help admin a cool tf2 server and we are kinda empty right now, so im inviting you guys to play with us.

It's fandom friendly, but not a specific fur server by any means. So you wont find anyone dissing on us.

Plus the owner and me (of course) are furries, so we could all just have a good time.

76.164.218.165:27015

Come on down and have some fun with us! Just be cool, cause the owner doesn't really trust reddit but he gave me a shot. :P

I'm thinking about getting a Pawprint Tattoo. Does anybody have a compilation of various versions?

Furry Reddit - Sat 11 Jan 2014 - 19:47

My thought is that it should be just a little bigger than a thumb nail, above the left butt cheek. I'm not sure if I want to also have "FUR PRIDE" below it, it sounds cheesy but yeah, not sure. I'd go for the standart "4 finger-pads and 1 big pad", but also again I am not entirely settled which form. I'm furthermore thinking if I should do it solid or just an outline.

I know that I'm very indecisive, but I'd love your input on this matter.
