The Inspiration:
For a long time I wanted to remake the watchful dragon optical illusion I found on Grand-Illusions.com but I didn’t know what I wanted to do with it. And, some time ago my buddy Deadmaxx made a series of great 3D gag images called “My Pet Hivelord” which featured everyone’s favorite Hivelord, Wo-Sa-Ga. For the past few days I’ve been combining these two ideas to make my own “pet Hivelord.”

Let’s chat! If you’ve ever wanted to sit down with a few of your online buddies and talk ‘Scape but have never been able to because the live in different states, or counties for that matter, now’s your chance. I’ve just opened a public chat space for HeroScape on my website. Check it out!

It’s easy to use and more importantly free! If you do visit, please use your HeroScapers handle so we know who you are.


Some things it can and cannot do:
- You can register your screen name if you so choose. You don’t have to.
- You can create your own private chat rooms.
- You cannot, as of yet, roll dice. Boy do I want to be able to roll dice. I’m still working on that. For now, it's the honor system.

I haven't exactly worked out a great way to play a game through the chat room but it'll come to me. (With your help.) VirtualScape can be used to create a co-ordinate system to track positions...

I’ve gotten into the habit of mixing drinks at work first thing in the morning… or in the afternoon… or the middle of the day. No – not alcoholic beverages – just cold and refreshing mixed drinks. Here’s a couple of the concoctions I’ve often make. They’re all real easy. Why not give them a try sometime?


Arnold Palmer
First up, this summertime classic created by master-golfer Arnold Palmer. Also called a Half & Half, this drink is both invigorating and refreshing.

1 Part Lemonade +
1 Part Iced-Tea
(Serve over ice.)

Iced Mocha Choco-Latte
This is one of my favorite ways to start the morning. It’s got the kick of expresso and the sweetness of chocolate milk.

2 Parts Starbucks Double-Shot Expresso (8oz can) +
1 Part Chocolate Milk
(Serve over ice with a dollop of whipped cream.)

Red Cran-Bull-Berry Drink
Here’s a simple way to make your Red Bull go down a little easier. I like Red Bull...
