The Lowdown

So here's the sitch, my friends:  I'll have at least 2 comics up before midnight on Monday (tomorrow).  I've been busy writing papers and going to Indianapolis for no good reason other than to go.  

I also plan on doing some videos on YouTube as well.  Keep your eyes peeled for reviews and such too.

Catch y'all later!!

My Heroes

For a very long time now I've had certain heroes that I look up to because they represent a lot of things that aren't present in the rest of humanity.  As a gamer this also sometimes meant that I would admire video game characters.  It makes a little sense considering characters can be everything that most individuals can't be in real life.

I'd frequently assert that my heroes were Ted Nugent, Bobby Knight and Duke Nukem; w/ Bruce Campbell as my god.  The Nuge is awesome not only because he's from Michigan, but also because he never backed down from his beliefs, which is something I can't claim I've been steadfast in.  Knight is awesome because of his discipline.  I don't think I need to explain why I idolized Nukem and Campbell.

Andrew WK and Sonic the Hedgehog are probably my most prominent heroes right now (Sonic has been a hero of mine since I was 4 years old).  Simply for the fact that I wish I could be like them (sans the species change).  All they seem to want is to have fun and let people live their lives happily.  Sonic saves the world time and time again for what?  To let all the assholes go on for another day?  I don't know if I would do that. 

For those of you who do not know me, I hate people.  I'm what's called a misanthrope.  I don't have any real problems w/ a good amount of individuals, but it's difficult for me to not hate groups of people.  And I'm not so extreme that I want to kill all humans or anything.  But I can only really say that I actually care about one person on the face of the Earth.  It's not even that I hate my family, because I don't hate them.  But I think I could cope fairly well if they died.  

I do not think I could cope if this one person died.  This person is everything to me: my greatest hero, my inspiration and my reason to live.  I have no clue what I would do if this person died.  It kills me every time I have to go away from this person.  Never have I been so invested w/ emotion like I am w/ this person.  All I could ever reasonably want is for this person to be happy, but I still get pissed when I know it's not me making her happy.  Which brings me to another point: after a lot of meditation on the matter I came to the conclusion that I hated people because they embody everything I hate in myself.  And my jealousy involving this person only serves to further my own justification that I should hate people.

I realize jealousy is a natural feeling, but if I really just wanted this person to be happy, then I should just let her be happy w/o these feelings of anger regarding the assholes she hangs around w/ who seem to make her happy.  This all comes down to selfishness.  I fucking hate seeing myself being selfish.  I just wish I could be like Andrew WK and just have fun.  But I think I may have ranted enough for today.  

I'm gonna go brood or something for the rest of the day.  Thanks for reading, if you made it this far.

Found Some News

Found some big news just before I about to leave for bars tonight.  Enjoy!!

No Comic this Week (Spring Break)

So, for the record, the reason I didn't post a comic last night was because I'm in New Jersey right now over spring break.  Just saw Motley Crue, Hinder and Theory of a Dead Man last night at the Garden.  The Last Vegas played too as an opener, which I believe was the same band that opened for the Foo Fighters when I saw them over the summer.

Anyway, I'll post 2 comics this coming week to make up for this week.  And I'll try to get in a video on YouTube as well.  Until then, Happy St. Patrick's Day to all!!

If there's any big news I'll post it when I get around to it.

I'm posting this a bit early tonight because I have a lot of homework and such to get done. Wish me luck!

First Vlog Entry

First vlog is up.  Just click here or on the YouTube link to the right.  Sorry about that taking so long; lots of homework and tests and shit.  I redid the vlog entry from before because I didn't like it.  Not that this one is much better.

Comic #2 and News

So here's the second comic strip:


Apparently, the director of the critically panned Sonic Unleashed has announced that the Werehog will return in another game. Before I go into the problems that would pose for the gaming community that said both the Werehog and Chip were bad additions, I'd like to note that the main problem w/ this is in the plot: the Werehog is Gaia-driven and Gaia (both Light and Dark) were sealed away for millions of years at teh end of Unleashed. So for the Werehog to return w/ the stretchy arms Gaia would need to be released again, which means copying the plot from the first game. Now that's pushin' it even for a Sonic plot. Sonic games follow a formula, not a Xerox.

Back to the gaming community. I realize most of my peers detested Sonic's latest entry into the market, but I did not have such hatred for it. There were parts I could've done w/o and parts I really enjoyed. While it's true that the nighttime levels are far too long, it's also true that the daytime levels are gorgeous and feel much like the previous 2D entries in the series. The daytime levels are what you would get if you mixed Sonic Adventure 2 w/ Sonic Rush. For those of you who haven't played Sonic Rush, I reviewed it and it's under the "reviews" category to the right. All that said, I defended the Werehog simply because they tried to take the series in a new direction that wasn't compltely flawed, it just wasn't very polished. I cannot bring myself to defend another attempt at a failed experiment unless the majority of the players and critics agreed that it had a good amount of potential and deserved another chance.

I plan on doing a full review of Sonic Unleashed just so I can express my opinion more thoroughly. But that'll be later, once I've done all my school papers and such.

EDIT: OK, so strip's still too large when you click on it. I'll figure it out and fix this problem. My bad.
