RE: Slump. Bah.

I'm once again in a slump. I drift in and out of them. And I get depressed and emo when I try to draw during a slump. It's really awful.

Also, I keep typing "awful" as "aweful".
Why is this does?

Über Leet.

ROMs. I've mentioned them before. They are godly. And, in an effort to make them better, I've inserted my presence into the hacked ROM universe. I've taken a normal Pokemon Emerald, and fixed it up. Started to, actually. But close enough.

I may release it, if it goes any where, but we all know that I never go anywhere with my many offbeat projects.

Crazy, Man. Crazy.

I watched an epic movie over the weekend. It's called Goemon. It's got the surreal visuals of Speed Racer and other greenscreen movies combined with freaking ninjas. I loved it.



You need to see it.

I've known of the character since I first watched an anime called Lupin III. The Goemon of that show is actually his descendant, but he is just as perfect.

Go watch that too.

I Made An Artz

I finally drew a full size picture in my book. It was more of a test sketch, to get the feel of the large paper. But I kinda love it. I'd upload it, but again. Large paper. It'll take some work...

OH-KAY, BUH-BYE NOW.

My Mind, Unmade.

So yeah. Nihongo or Deustch. I want to learn both. But I can't. So what do I do? I can't just halfass it, can I?

Okay, I probably can, but I shouldn't...

Dreaddreaddreaddreaddread.

I have purchased a large drawing pad. And two different sizes of Pigma Micron pens. Love them.
But I haven't yet proceeded with the redraw. I'm kinda dreading it. Gott.

In other news, I have decided to try and (re)learn Japanese. Mostly because of those goddamn subtitles in anime. Kinda heard to watch when you have to read it at the same time.
Chances of success: -50%.
Probably.

Itsa Me, Mario.

I borrowed Assassins Creed 2 from a friend, and instantly knew I loved it more than the first one. It's great so far, and I'm half done. And when you first head out of the city, you meet the characters uncle, Mario Auditore. And when his name is first mentioned by the character himself, I died laughing. It was so out of place. His words were "It'sa me, Mario!" That's not the kind of phrase I'd expect to hear in a game called Assassins Creed. Fantastic.

On a side note, I must say, I'm surprised about how much of the Italian seen and heard in the game I actually understand.

50-50?

Bill and Ted is an awesome movie. The first one. The second, nowhere near as great, but would do fine on it's own. And news of a third movie got me a little worried, at least until I started reading up on it. From what I hear, it's supposed to be in the future, relative to the second movie. About 20 years, actually. So it takes place in the present. And it should have the original cast. No Carlin replacement either, which is a good thing. Don't want a new actor to wipe his filthy shoes on Rufus.

But my feelings are still mixed. It's another sequal, but it's also an interesting idea.

Well, it's still three years away, so no worries.

Hiatus. Already? Yes, Already.

So I'm putting the comic on hiatus already, but for one reason, and one reason only. I need bigger paper. Seems kinda stupid, I thought so too, when someone suggest I go and buy a large pad. But I've quickly found out that the detail I need has to have more space than an 8.5'x11' sheet can give me.

When I redraw my completed pages, I'll be sure to upload some for anyone who wishes to read it.

Nitrome: The Returnining

I return with news of another awful game from Nitrome. They used to be so wonderful, but now they mostly suck an insane amount. Rush is a single-button game, a genre which I hate, despite the relative originality of the concept, which is something I tend to love.

It's problem is a bit of a paradox, actually. The simplicity of the game play is offset by the complexity of the game, which doesn't balance it out, rather it tips the scales.

Nitrome, why must you vex me so?

GOOD NEWS, EVERYBODY.

I think that the comic so far is promising. I've only done four pages, one of which is a splash page. But if I really go further, I have little doubt about the awesomeness of it. Well, sorta.

Is "R O B I T" a stupid name?
Good.

Originally Unoriginal

Once more, I attempt to venture into the possible maybe sorta unknown. But not really. The world of Indie comics isn't new to me, linear story is. Generally, I take off of my favorite comics and have short seperate strips. That's less overwhelming. BUT I SHALL ATTEMPT IT NONETHELESS. And probably fail. But hey, it's something to do.

Am I right, or what?

Redo

Well, since the person I went to see Tron with wouldn't shut the hell up through the whole damn movie, I'm probably going to see it again. IN 3-D. -cue awesome music-
I never saw any 3D movies before, with the exeption of the ones that were part of a ride at Disney. Stereograms are my thing, though.

What about you, mostly likely nonexistant readers? Do you enjoy 3D movies?
No one asked you, so shut up.
Jerks.

Fable -heart-

I got my 360, and Fable 2 and 3. And I love it all. I also got a Kinect, which I didn't expect to enjoy, but it turns out I do. It's surprisingly responsive, which was, well, a surprise. Sadly, I also got Tron Evolution, which was god aweful. It's just far to difficult. A sad thing, but one that can't be avoided. Games that are based on movies are always horrible, due to either strictly linear play, or, as is this case, due to extreme difficulty.

Delivery.

So Tron delivered. The one thing I thought it needed, it got. Explosions. Although there was a problem. Clu was a hideous CGI version of Jeff Bridges. But who cares.

Tron and explosions and Olivia Wilde, oh my.
