This would be how I spent my holiday season this year 'irl'. It started the day after Christmas and culminated on New Years Day (a Sunday, no less..) with the destruction of a ... once very useful 60' oak outside my window, and, the log bombing of landscaping, new and very old, surrounding where I live (sorry no pics of that loveliness. I only took the ones I did because my old AG professor wanted them, and, I just happened to catch the tow truck driver and the log bomber are why they are there).

First I watched ancient forest that used to belong to my grandparents get levelled to make way for a new... garden. On the less muddy side of the fence would be a tow truck driver paid by my mentally challenged dad, and, my truck, which was pulled away After log bombs were dropped from more than 30' above (pic 4).
Meanwhile, (about right in the middle of the above action) this fun moment following a Smash was brought to you by CO....
And it is one I'm proud of. At the time I was only playing this guy (I remember having the conversation in my head "This is my least uber guy, why do I play him?") because I liked looking at him. I make mediocre costumes sometimes but I was really happy with this one and it just fits. I like his out of the ordinary build that manages to work, sometimes exceptionally well (after some practice..), too.
His name is Matchstix and he has swirly lil match heads surrounding him as his always-on aura. When he attacks he lights up on fire with a fire aura, and, his weapon is a large wooden stick with a red ball on the end.. Kinda matchsticklike. And, the stick makes fire. He can also make fire by stomping his foot (Absorb Heat) and has a couple of Fire based powers that make his lil matchstick hands flame up. He's 4' tall, his matchstick weapon is like 6' tall.
What a fantabulous game it is that it could entertain me, make me smile, and even be a lil bit proud even in one of my darker hours. Thanks CO!
