COMIC - File #224: "SCIENCE!"

Two stories for you this week.

The DOOM SPACE MARINE needs YOUR help!

If you caught this year's Halloween issue, you've noticed that I made a custom figure of the player character from DOOM, the classic space marine.  He's my entry into The Fighting 1:18th's Custom Games, a tournament of custom-made action figures.  But even the DOOMed spess mehreen can't win alone!  He'll need your help.

Each week, figures face off against each other in "duels," the winner being the entry that receives the most votes.  Winners move on.

Here's how you can help.  Head over to the DOOM Space Marine's voting thread at The Fighting 1:18th and vote on the poll.  Simple as that!  You'll need to make an account if you don't have one, but it takes roughly 30 seconds.

Thanks for helping!  I'll keep you guys posted on the Doomguy's quest to RIP AND TEAR his way to #1!

COMIC - File #223: "Fight Me In Ikea"

Has the Batmad finally met his match?

Remembrance Day Once Again

Here in Canada, another Remembrance Day is upon us. Each poppy I see shows that people care. Well, some people anyway, as Rick Mercer will explain:

COMIC - File #222: "Just Like One Of My Animes"

This week, the Joes and Autobots race to break Helix and Arcee from the Bludgeon and Destro's prison.  But Ratbat and his minions have other plans for them...

COMIC - File #221: "Rip And Tear"

Bunch of goodies for you tonight, on Halloween 2013.  Last year, I didn't get to post a Halloween comic because of the #200 fiasco, but let's not bring up old crap.  But I'm making up for it this year.

First of all, if you want to kick it oldschool, the Fighting 1:18th has put up a brand-new Ages 25 & Up Rewind, showcasing the "Black Ops" story that even I'd forgotten about.  Check out their 5-page article, featuring all 3 issues and lots of commentary -- some of it my own!

If you want some more Halloween action, why not read the first Halloween comic I ever made, which has Vipers crapping themselves in fear.  It was shot outdoors at night, immediately before I had to run to a Halloween party, no less.

This year's issue is a special one.  It was part of a custom contest over at the Fighting 1:18th.  Being me, not only did I make the figure, his weapons, and an accompanying filecard, but he's the star of this year's Halloween issue!  So rev up your chainsaws, pump your shotguns, and get ready to RIP AND TEAR!

COMIC - File #220: "Come At Me, Bro"

Hey, we're back.  New comic time.  Not sure if I'll do a Halloween-related issue next week.  Probably will, though, knowing me.

SitRep: Hardware's Done; Software's Next

Hey, guys.  Here's an update on my computer's status.

We rollin' now.  All the hardware is recognized; all the drivers installed.  Took me longer than expected to get the OS all updated.

Now, programs.  I have to get all of my crap reinstalled and the backed-up data transferred over to this computer.  So it'll still be a while, as I don't have any of fonts, Photoshop brushes, or hell, even Photoshop itself.  None of my imaging software yet, either, so I can't even crop/resize that picture of Helix I shot when I slapped in the new drive.

Long story short, no comic this week.  We should be back on track next week.  Should!

Comic Delayed-- For Now!

Ah, crap!

If you've been checking out Helix's posts on the book of faeces or my own irritated ramblings, then you already know what's going on. If you don't check out either of those, you are lucky enough to stay away, far away, from those sites.

Long story short, as Dr. Syn from the Smuggling Cove put it, we are now Ages 25 & Down.  I was hit by a hard drive failure (not a Smooth Criminal, luckily), but managed to back up pretty much everything I care about: saved games, music, photos, university papers, HD content, and of course, the A25U folder.

A new hard drive is in and I've finally got all my hardware drivers installed (kriffing Toshiba didn't want to recognize my karking Radeon!), so all that's left to do is the long, laborious process of reinstalling all of my programs and getting everything updated.  (Steam's going to be working overtime.)

All this to say, there won't be a new comic this weekend, but I'll do my best to get a new one up next week.  Happy Thanksgiving, hosers.  Be seeing you.
