Our Comics… Quality or Quantity? We give you neither!
Apr 28th, 2009 by Matthew

Well, it’s Tuesday night, 11:40 PM, and I’m  blogging.

Anyways, I think it should be mentioned that this month’s comic shows several things about our resident artist aka James. I happen to notice he recently blogged talking about doing an arty subject. I must say, considering the latest comic, it’s for the best.

Back on topic now…

Firstly, the comic does actually have the important information that makes it “ours” – our site in the bottom right corner under the 4th (5th?) panel.

I feel that the question this comic begs is, was James trying for a new abstract art competition, had he had far too many energy drinks, or has he lost his trusty Corel Draw with it’s automatic circles and fill?

Unless the point of the entire comic was to totally point out how blessed we really are to get coloured, antialiased (and frankly, quite shiny :P ) comics. Which I can imagine James doing.

 

However, now that that’s off my chest… James will back me up when I say the real reason this month’s comic is relatively awful is because the previous month’s comic was awesome enough to make up for at least two months.

For those unlucky enough to have missed out, here is the awesome comic:

 

Awesome comic

Awesome comic

And here is this month’s comic:

 

Not so awesome

Not so awesome

And now I’ve had my midnight rant. <3

Wow. Just…wow.

So, i’m right into the thick of university now, and two of my subjects can only be described as brain poison. The first is called “special topic 1″, which apparently means “teaching nerds to draw”, because its the artiest subject i’ve done in my life, and i’m doing a COMPUTER GAMES PROGRAMMING COURSE.

CAN I HAVE A “WTF!?”?

The second subject, also brain poison, is called “industry insights”, which is more or less an exercise in putting up with bureaucracy. Our first practical was the class looking for jobs online. Touché.

Other than that, i’m making the programming and games design subjects my bitches, so i don’t have much to complain about other than the work. As for my inactivity on the site lately, lets just say that one day my autobiography is going to be a very, very interesting read. But until then, you are unlikely to be told why that is, if you don’t already know. But I should be back in action for real in a few weeks.

I’m going to melbourne at the middle of the year, to meet three of my favorite internet randoms all at once, so if you’re in the area and want to spend a day at a gaming lounge with us all on the 31st of June, we’d love to have you. 

The chat logs and out of context pages have been reliably expanding regardless of my laziness, so be sure to check them out every now and then.

See you when I see you!
