Peculiar Fanservice?
04.07.2008 - 4:33 PM
A new [ comic ], this actually marks the 30th comic / 300 individual comic panels drawn. Woot! I'll probably do something special next week. :U And yes, the comic is actually honoring some ...odd requests for Ryo. oO;

If you have no idea why that little Travis Touchdown is there, you really ought to play No More Heroes. Or at least take a look [ here ]. If you're still confused, take a look [ here ] as well.

TMI and a healthy dose of pain
04.30.2008 - 4:22 PM
Another new [ comic ], this is actually part of a huge one that was fast approaching 14+ panels and...yeah, figured I'd split things up a bit, as I don't want to set the bar for that many. There was a good point to stop it at, and I wanted to adjust the comic update to Wednesday.

Also, heres a chance to see how high your tolerance to pain is, right [ here ]. Ignore the horrible traced Sonic doodles, and pay attention to the audio. Yes, it is a Live Sonic Show performed in Sydney Austrailia, sometime in 1993. And it is absolutely...well, you'll see.

(Also, stop sending me Mario Kart Wii codes, I love you all but I haven't purchased it due to the house stuff.)

Older faces, plenty of news

A new [ comic ] for you lovely folks. I brought back some faces people've been wanting to see more of, and the characters are much easier to write for now that I'm in stable contact with both of their real life personas. Joy. C: I also updated the [fanart], but sadly a few pieces are still missing.

A fair bit of news this time. Did you know Vyse and Aika of Skies of Arcadia fame recently appeared in a new game? Yeah, I didn't know either until a few days ago. [ Heres the face shots from a Japanese publication. ] Reason to believe the Skies of Arcadia 2 rumors? I really, really hope so.

On a completely unrelated note, I'm holding a small commission / donation drive. Why exactly? I'm attempting to get ahold of a lease on a (fabulous 3200 sqaure foot) house. The getting ahold of the money part isn't the problem actually, it's doing so in a timely manner to beat out everyone else interested in it. If the drive goes smoothly enough, I can stop working overtime and potentially churn out more comics or something. :B

So if you'd like a commission, or just want to donate, feel free to email me or click on the button below:

Also, I am in no way persuading you if you have any slight aversion to doing so. Go spend your money on something that makes you happy. Mario Kart Wii did just come out after all. :o

The truth hurts

With [ this comic ] I wanted to practice writing an opinion without coming out overly ranty or self-important, and still have mildly interesting character interactions. Not s'much funny, more about insight. Feel free to tell me if I failed. I tend to do that on a regular basis. :U

Yes. I REALLY, REALLY dislike people who yell "shitsux!" over a game they've never played. For the record, I tried to play Final Fantasy 7 after enjoying 6 and 8 very much, and got bored around the 2nd disc. Also, the fact that the key scene in the game was done before (and better) in Phantasy Star kind of put a damper on its impact. I'll try to replay the game again if I ever decide I want to chase a boss character around for 30 hours. I'll admit the soundtrack was fantastic though. C:

Also, I really hope [ this ] isn't true. Yes, this would've saved the franchise...TEN YEARS AGO. (By the way, The Goddamn Batman is totally going to be my main.)

I always found it sort of odd...
04.11.2008 - 5:09 PM
I found that [ this part ] of Super Paper Mario was always a bit..off. Is this a Mario game or a dating sim?! :I I [ kicked it up a notch ] with...erm. It's a tame version of a blind date plan a friend told me.

Just so you know, I was completely jealous.

I also practiced emulating a game style...although I suppose I should be avoiding that and just try to make it quirky, but still recognizable. Hrmm. All in good time I suppose, I've never claimed to be awesome or even satisfied with my work. :P

Hope you folks enjoy these two actually agreeing on something, I'm going to enjoy a small batch on games I purchased on the Wii's VC..being able to play Streets of Rage again sure is grand!

RAAAAAAAAAAGE

Before you get to the comic, be sure to check out this [ new character profile], as it's quite relevant to the strip itself. Now heres the comic: [ Unsound of Mind ].

During a recent confessions thread, I recalled how my friends, brothers, and parents screwed this up all the time. I've also wanted to do amusing but still rage-based comics that didn't come off as ranty or full of unwarranted self importance through Ame. ...Or maybe I just wanted an excuse to draw the token RAGING face on her...oh well. This comic is also meant to introduce Teo to set up for future strips.

If you're reading this parental units (which I know you will), I'm sorry and you guys are awesome for forcing me to play videogames at a young age. C: (I dread the phone call regardless. :C)

Sonic...Unleashed?
03.28.2008 - 4:20 PM
The news should be relatively well-known, so... [ Heres the comic. ]

So, I can assume you've heard about the new Sonic videogame that will (possibly) revolutionize the franchise and end a 7 year era of (honestly) lackluster games? If you haven't, let me bring you up to speed with the leaked [ screenshots ] and a [ movie ].

Check [ this link ] one more time actually, and observe that...creature in the background behind Sonic. Now you have the basis for todays comic. Not the greatest I know, but I'm really hopeful this game pulls the series away from its currently inevitable demise...so I really wanted a comic to go with it. Haw.

So...thoughts on this concept? I mean, Wolf Link worked out well in Twilight Princess, maybe Sonic Team is just taking a page from Nintendos book. The game has a HUGE budget apparently, so hopefully they know this may be their final chance to ressurect the blue blur.

More amusing than a true glitch...
03.19.2008 - 4:19 PM
For awhile I've wanted to make a comic that had no dialogue so... [ here we go! ]

Since this is a bit late I tried to make it amusing by itself, but it is also in reference to the odd glitch that started popping up in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. ...The glitch remained in the American version btw. If you're confused, try [ here ], [ here ], [ or here ] to check it out.

As for friend codes...I work until 2am and I honestly haven't had much time with the game, my roommates unlocked everything except for one thing. :< Gah. I have played enough to decide my main at least. (Toon Link C:)

Animaniacs Nostalgia
03.11.2008 - 4:30 PM
We all know Sonic...remember [ the Animaniacs? ] Yeah. THEM.


In case you don't remember these (shame on you!) heres a [ video ] to help.

Also, major reconstruction of my main page, 5 hours spent...and I still haven't touched the art and fanart sections ._. Shall do so tonight!

...So what happens when you lag?
02.29.2008 - 4:19 PM
Really, really corny response to overhearing the fact the sex-based MMO "3feel" went into closed beta recently...[ right here ].

I expect to be dead by morning.

There are No More Heroes left in man
02.21.2008 - 4:35 PM
First of all...[ No More Heroes ] is awesome. Going to get it for myself later tonight.

And just so you know...
The boss fights aren't the meat of the game.
Neither are the controls.
IT'S PLAYING WITH THE DAMN CAT... (Okay, thats a bit much, actually. But you get the idea.)

You can see how cute Travis' kitten is for yourself here. C: G'aaaaaw.
