" Until the road dead ends. "

Well E3 was a good few weeks back but I completely missed it. Lets just recap a few highlights from what was a far better show than last year.

First off is L4D2. From what I've read I can't freaking wait for it. Fortunately we finally have the SDK to tide us over. Tons of new maps to chose from at the moment.

My particular favorite at the moment is Death Abroad. Gimmie a shout if you've got the vpk installed. We're always looking for people to play with.

This piece of news made me squeal like a school girl. Tales of Monkey Island. A brand new monkey island adventure. My mancrush with Telltale Games grows ever bigger. As well we're getting classic Monkey Island games remade on PC and XBL. Feels good man.

Lastly we found out we're getting a remake of TMNT : Turtles in Time. To this day it remains my favorite arcade game ever. If I could buy the stand I would. I'll settle for this though.

There was also Metroid the Other M from Nintendo. A shining piece of gaming in an otherwise crapfest of a press conference. Developed by Team Ninja which means Samus is getting some jiggle physics.

In a bit of ACTUAL news there's this. Korean game called H.A.V.E. Online, it's basically TF2 with anime dolls. Yeah... I'd play it in a heartbeat. Also have some Robot Fighting Geisha.

Yeah I'm done missing updates. Back on schedule starting now. To help that along here's an awesome guest comic from the guys at GG Guys. (Thanks guys!) As well as a new Super Effective.

Extensive news post on some of the stuff that's gone on in the past month tomorrow. For now here's one of the greatest animations ever.

Gonna be at Anime North in Toronto this weekend. You can catch my Panel on Saturday at 3pm in Panel Room 1. Finish up the comic on the panel I guess. Come one come all

Also "GAMER" coming this summer to a theater near you. I shit you not.

A word about Plants vs Zombies. I was a little skeptical going into this game and boy was I wrong.

It's your basic Tower Defense game but here's the twist... It's actually fun. Keeps you from getting bored with by introducing new units and modes of play. When I say new modes of I mean a LOT of them. The amount unlockables and mini-games in this package is staggering. As well clever writing and visuals just bring the whole experience together.

The best part about this game is that it's only TEN BUCKS. Days of game play for ten freaking bucks. Plants vs Zombies is a MUST get. (Also there's a Zombie on your lawn)

So the Meet the Spy Video got leaked. Watch it while you can!



Or just watch this Smash Bros 64 Intro with the Team Fortress Guys. One of the coolest things I've ever seen. Great job and a must watch.

Edit: You know the more I think about this video getting leaked, the more I think we got trolled by Valve. I mean it is the SPY video after all. What better way to release it

EditEDIT: So they offically released the video.

.

Well crap. So much to prepare for before a Con and this comic is taking ages to finish. Probably not going to be time to work on it again until Wednesday... Next week... When I get back. I suck hardcore, sorry.

BUT YEAH! Driving (10 hours woo!) down to Illinois this weekend for Anime Central. Come down if you're in the area. Not sure if I'll be back in the area so it's now or never.

If not, here! Go play Whirled. It's awesome.

Got the comic all sketched out finally and moving on to inking. Gonna try and get it up tonight (that's what she said?). For now here are a few neat links to check out.

The Offical Bandai Entertainment Channel has the first season of Code Geass up for watching. Also Subbed.

I FINALLY got to seeing this series after everyone was telling me how good it was. Glad to say it really is. The high school stuff makes me cringe at times but the series is really quite awesome. Give it a watch.

Here's a fun little time killing game, Robot Dinosaurs That Shoot Beams When They Roar. Also here's a few random but awesome youtube vids; Slap slap your troubles away, Lamas with hats, and Unicorn vs. Narwhal.

YESH. So tired. I'll get a better news post up after some sleep. For now here's a new comic and here's that silly game show on Sci-Fi it was referencing, THE ULTIMATE GAMAREZ.



The horror... The horror... A side note; I meant to do this comic about 5 months ago. While moving I lost the script and have been piecing it back together. Ah well.

Also uploaded it with missing text just now, since corrected. So if you're one of those folks who check the RSS beforehand you might wanna re-read it.

Working on a new comic right now. For now got a Super Effective up. I just got in a HUGE fucking block with that strip for a while. Still was but I just said "Fuck it", it needed an update. On the plus side the next stip is done and the next 10 strips are scripted.

Few awesome links to check out while you wait. A Meta Time Stratagey game, which was the best thing to come out of GDC. NSFW Dr Manhattan Brawler NSFW. A free three kingdom MMORPG, it's not the best but it's neat. Megaman 2 Rap. Starfox Fortress 2. TOODLES!

Edit Tuesday, April 21, 2009: Oh yeah there was a new Super Effective updated on Saturday. Keep forgetting to mention it here. New comic should be up later today. Tomorrow, taking forever to finish...

And it's up.

NewGrounds link to the original "Saturday Morning Watchmen" over here.

So Watchmen was awesome, so awesome. It is missing a lot of the narrative of the comic but it's a really long comic. So you have to cut it some slack. Even at 3 hours long there's no way you're fitting it in there.

What you do have is every scene you loved faithfully receated and true to the source material. A word of warning though if you've never read the book. This film really is a companion to the comic and if you're unfamiliar, you won't appreciate it near as much. So please do give it a read. For everyone else, GO SEE IT.

Now to find where the hell we packed our copy so I can read it again. Oh and here's the opening sequence to the movie for those who have seen it.

Contest time! Valkyrie Profile DS is coming out this month so we're all running a little contest for one lucky person to win some awesome stuff. Stuff being a signed copy of the game from the guys who made it, sound track, and a signed poster. Deatails about entering over here.

Enjoy some filler today while I get a comic drawn up for Monday (hopefully).

Edit: Yes, versus not verses. A typo made at five in the bloody morning. I might have been a tad sleepy. Since been fixed.

Woo! A new comic. Sorry it's not shaded but I wanted it to be up before I passed the fuck out. Probably will after some sleep. For you youngin's who never saw the Street Fighter movie, here it is.

I've been getting into a bad habbit of scrapping comics I don't like. Figured it can't be the best every time, and I really should just upload them instead. But yeah. That's the delay. Perfectionism neuroses. Aka Whiney and Emo.

Still have that Super Effective strip drawn but I want to make a few others before I slot it into the story. Sorry! Oh hey, a new Ronin Dojo Community College DX: The Digital Pirates of Dark Water Saga. Also go read the new featured comic Allan!

This is part of the series the For Tax Reasons guys have going. Here's the first part and here's the next, and the latest.

So the new expansion to GTA 4 is out, The Lost and the Damned. It's got um... Dick.(<-NSFW)

Also a fun little game to try out, Don't Shit Your Pants. It's done in the style of the first generation Sierra Adventure Games. You know, where you have to type in every damn thing. Can you get all the achievents!? (Thanks to Teddy)

I'm probably REALLY the last person to know about this but, here's a guy who did a bunch of videogame tracks using acapella and ukulele. Kick ass stuff.

New Super Effective, for reels. I have the next one drawn too so that'll be up later this week.

So I hear ComiCon is this weekend (February 6-8). Karian and I will be down there sharing a booth with Shawn. I think we're in the same location as last year but I could be wrong. Lots of other people will be down there too; Penny Arcade, Mystic Revolution, and Snafu to name a few.

Few more links to check out. Goldeneye Source's Beta is starting up soon. A LOOONG running project finally seeing an end. Neat little time killer game, perfect balance. Lastly Batman tries out DC vs Mortal Kombat.

Edit: Forgot to mention. Blind Ferret has a small survey up for this site. Fill it out if you've got a sec. Thanks :)

New Super Effective Removed due to shittiness. Few things to check out gaming wise right now.

The fine lad over at Konjak made this one level wonder called, Legend of Princess. Kind of a what if Zelda was an action sidescroller. Like Zelda II on steroids. It's a free download and I highly recommend getting it. If you like it I strongly urge you to also buy Noitu Love 2. Plays just like it and quite entertaining.

Now on the Xbawks. First is the RE5 Demo is now out. It is awesome. Every game can only be made better by co-op. So you take the gameplay of RE4. Which was one of my favorite games of all time. Then add co-op? Well you've got something you HAVE to play. Go get it.

As well the FEAR 2 demo is out. From the demo I love the direction they're taking with it. Problem I had with the first game is that a lot of it was kinda boring. Lots of flickery lights and not much action until towards the end. This one never stops the action. Plus now you've got these giant mechs you can pilot. Looks really fun.

As well I finally got around to downloading Banjo-Kazooie from the XBL arcade. Classic Banjo with cleaner graphics, faster frame rate, and widescreen. A must get if you loved it on the N64. (Comparisons over here)

Haven't gotten a chance to play Operation Anchorage for Fallout. I will though, oh I will. Fallout 3 was easily my favorite game for 2008. With Brawl at a close second. So I will be getting to this at some point. The Chinese Power armor is just sexy.

Also sarge sent me two neat videos to check out. One is an exerp from the upcoming game Eat Lead : The Return of Matt Hazard. FPS vs JRPGs. The other is Deadpool exerpts from the new cartoon/movie/thing. PEACE.

So this is a conversation between me and dave a few months ago.

Tue Aug 19 17:25:33 2008
[17:38] Dave: do a Dead Rising Wii comic
[17:38] Scott: yeah
[17:38] Scott: god
[17:38] Scott: what the hell did they do to it
[17:38] Dave: have frank in the first panel saying "i've covered wars you know!"
[17:38] Dave: then second panel, empty mall
[17:38] Dave: with him saying "hello..?"
[17:38] Scott: NO CAMERA
[17:38] Scott: frank west
[17:38] Scott: photo journalist
[17:39] Scott: NO CAMERA
[17:39] Dave: or for effect
[17:39] Dave: he doesn't finish the first line
[17:39] Dave: just "i've covered wars you kn...."
[17:39] Dave: do it

So Dead Rising is coming out soon and I decide to do it. MEANWHILE AT FANBOYS. By the time I saw this I had the comic about halfway finished. We're gaming comics, this happens. Jokes pulled from the same pot. Still I hate it when it happens.

In summation, Dead Rising for the Wii looks like a bowl of smelly ass. Putting it nicely. Did I mention Frank CAN'T take photos?

Forgot to mention last update a thanks to everyone who came down for Anime LA. Lots of fun. :) Also been getting requests for a wallpaper so here ya go!

Edit Wednesday, January 21, 2009 6:51 PM: Should have a comic up late Thursday. Thought I could get it today but I'm on like hour 26 and near collapse. Ah well... Oh hey VG Birds! (Source) and the Rand Savage L4D Mod. You can pick that up right over here. Lastly a new Trailer for Street Fighter 4. I know the dubbing and story can be a bit much but... I'm ashamed to say I actually like that.

Comic is up. Would have LOVED to get this up before christmas but it took way longer than I thought it would. I like how it turned out though even if it's not funny. I mean it's not like it has to be to funny to be enjoyable. On that note, enjoy!

Baaaaah!Plane leaves in like 2 hours and didn't get a comic done in time. Anyway! Bit of an odd time to be doing a con but got one in LA this weekend. Anime Los Angles Jan 2nd-4th.

In the mean time you might want to give this little indie game a try. Don't let the cute graphics fool you, because it's deceptivley awesome. Eversion!

Also this is just plain bullshit. Here's hoping we'll see Watchmen before 2010.

Uploaded a New Super effective Yesterday. Gonna get some filler up today and I'll have a new comic up between now and Christmas. Sorry for the prolonged absents. I'd love to say moving back to Canada has been smooth but hey, things happen. Took more on my plate than I could eat I guess. ANYWAY. Back to comics. :)

Two things I've been NEEDING to mention. Child Play, it's almost Christmas so give lots. :) Or buy a card over here through our Holiday Christmas Card Fundraiser.

Also here's an awesome video with smash bros.

EDIT Monday, December 22, 2008 11:14 PM: Decided to just go ahead and make a comic instead of filler. Enjoy!

Well it's taken a little while but we've got ourselves a store again! All thanks to the awesome guys at Shark Robot. If you've seen me at any cons this year then you've seen them right next to me. AND we've got some new shirts! A first ever wrap around design with cuccos, a Light shirt based on this comic and high elfs because they like to party. Cut off date for shipping before christmas is Dec 12th. Get 'em while you can.

Still working on a comic. Really sorry, just been trashing a lot of ideas. I'll have one up for Monday SOMEDAY no matter what. REALLY. Guess my word doesn't mean shit at this point. But I just don't like uploading bad comics.

Also I'll be down for the FFXI Fan event on Saturday. See ya there! Didn't have time to get anything ready to be sold but I'll be there doing sketches regardless.

Konami's got this as a teaser on thier site. I can't be the only one who thought this. Still it'd be nice since I still have yet to play MGS4.

You might want to put headphones on if you're at work or school before you play this. Just a hunch.



Few fun links to check out while I get the comic done. Gears of awesome and Cog of War 2, you cannot pay for that with a spider, there is no way this much innuendo is accidental, these games are awesome (personal fav), and of course Cooking Mama Kills.

Lastly this game, Auditorium. Friend of mine tossed me the link the other week. If you love games like Rez and Every Extended Extra you'll love this. Basically a puzzle game that uses music. Check it out!

Edit: Didn't get a VGC comic done but I did get a Super Effective done! Enjoy!
