Mantis Style!

Shorter post today, as I've got to keep busy at work. Comic will be posted this afternoon.

I loves me my robots. The thought of robots being fully integrated with humanity is something that gives me goosebumps. That why I can't what for whatever the hell this is.

Also, if you want another great waste of time, you should play this viral pursuit game. It's loads of fun.

Gung hoy fat choy everybody! Have a safe and prosperous Chinese New Year! Remember, only 38 more shopping days until Chinese Saint Patrick's Day.

Today's post should be considered a movie blowout of sorts. First off, my review of Ben Affleck's Paycheck. One word: awesome. Another word: potatoes. One of those two words describes the movie, I'll leave it to you to figure out which. Forget all the bad reviews you heard, just go see it, and have a fun time.

Now for some movie trailer action! This week is huge with new trailer releases. Some look completely asanine, others are strangely promising, and still others are hotly anticipated.

But none of these trailers compare with what comes next. Remember a while back, when I linked you guys to that Japanese blind-samurai flick? Somebody in heaven was listening, and now it being prepared for an American release. How hot is that?

Schweet! A new comic! I also fixed the crappy HTML that was running rampant in the archives, so that's all good too. Explaining my new attire: I like stars (pentagrams in paricular), and wanted my character to reflect that. I also don't like being sued by Homestar, hence the change in colour. To be fair, that crappy guy from Cazorthade hasn't been sued yet, and Homestar hasn't been sued by Alvin of Chipmunks fame, so there shouldn't be a problem. Expect some crappy filler sometime in the middle of the week.

Wow, I've been checking out a bunch of Crystal Chronicles Crap on the net, and I am getting pretty excited for it's release. Check out some of Square's always keen original artwork, and become as excited as I am. If you ARE planning on getting this game, be sure to preorder it at EB Games, and you will get the GCN-GBA adapter for FREE! Pretty cool, if you ask me.

If you thought that yesterdays X-Wing car was crazy, then check this out. These are the kinds of things that happen when huge nerds finally move out of mom's basement and get their hands on cars. I dare say that it's some cool shit here. Tell me, does the transforming car actually work as a car? Does it actually work as a Transformer? Does it actually work at all? If so, then God bless you, you men of science.

The family just got a deep-fryer, easily one of the coolest developments to happen in my house in the longest time. It's tempura tonight for dinner folks!

Yes yes y'all, I am living fancy free, the iPod life. Never mind that I'm likely living beyond my means, but whatever. It's worth it.

I've got an idea that will yield 2 comics a week for you to enjoy! I will continue the storyline that is blossoming right now at the rate of one comic a week, and also give you guys a little bit o' filler in te middle. Something real simple, like my iPod ad parody, or scanning Funky Winkerbean, and changing the dialougue. Funny stuff.

Have you seen this guy's car? Yeesh, and I thought the Honda Type R freaks were bad enough. For those curious, the "R" stands for "retarded".

I really want to hate Questionable Content, but I just can't. The art is simple, but doesn't suck (even though he constantly complains about how hard it is for him), and the humour is really good sometimes. It's obvious that he has inspirations from Jon Allison for some of his jokes, and that's a good thing. It's too bad that a lot of his punchlines are meant to appease Indy Rock Pete, but that's OK too. I don't suppose anybody else remembers the now-defunct punk-rock comic Nothing Nice 2 Say? No? Good times, they were.

Um, the archive is temporarily screwed, I don't know why. I'll figure it out, just not now.

Thanks for joining me here. As promised, here is the cool-ass comic that is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. It's still new, but it's updating regularly, so it's worth a look.

Man, the only way that this house is acceptable is if it's located in either Las Vegas, or Disney Land. No other excuse is possible.

Today is a wonderful day. Now that my hard work and extra shifts for the winter break have yeilded their cash-money goodness, I can now afford an iPod. And not some crappy, used, 1st generation, 5GB lump, but the sweet and small, 3rd generation 20GB model, in all it's glory. As usual, the University store has a students discount, so I am all up on it. Lordy, but I can't wait.

I'd apologize for the lack of a comic last week, but work comes first. You understand. If you don't, I'll show you how the backlight for my soon-to-be iPod, and how it is the most beautiful thing in the world, then you'll understand.

So, it's official, I have been converted to Apple. I know that my previous posts have been laden with hatred for the machines, but after constant exposure to them at my place of work, I have grown to love them. Rest assured that the first computer that I buy when I move out will be a G5, or some other godless waste of money for myself.

Now, I have read some pretty "out there" essays on the themes presented in Kill Bill, but this one takes the cake. (In best Yakov Smirnov impersonation) In Russia, Yakuza kill YOU!

A comic this week, for reals. If not, then I promise to link you to something SUPER BITCHIN' to make up for it. In all likelyhood, I will do both.

Man, even though I am in debt to several people, I am feelin' pretty good. I am getting a lot of extra work, so paying everybody back should be no problem. In fact, I should have enough left over afterwards to buy myself a little something. I have got a serious jonesing for an iPod. Allow me to explain.

My current means of music (4 year old Mini-disc player) has run it's course. I aliken it to the jukebox in Happy Days, in the sense that it's really old, and also in the sense that I have to punch it just right to get it to play.

I've done my homework. I know that iPods are the shit, although there is some opposition to them. All things considered, it's not only the product which I crave, but the lifestyle. I wish to be an elitist asshole. I want to curl my nose in disgust when somebody says the word megabytes. I want to shove an iPod in the face of everybody I see that is without one. I want to use more goddamn italics in this paragraph.

So, I've been searchin' the eBay for bargains, and I think that it will be no problem picking one up for February. All I need is a 5GB, first generation model, nothing that will break the bank.

Jon Allison had a good thing going when he created Rocktober, and I would like to take things even further than that. For the 2004, I say that we make every month one to celebrate in one obscure way or another. So I hereby declare January to be rename Manuary. Expect a lot more grunting, scratching, burping etc.
