LET GO OF MY WALLET, YOU RETARDED FUCK!
_{By Zhen-Chan, 19-12-2008}
Ok, I've been on this ship too long. I've been estatic about the DS, I've been cheering until the wii, because I thought they'd come through after making huge blunders with the Gamecube. Ever since the Wii/DS double punch, they've steadily been taking back the position and market they've lost to Sony. I was actually cheering when I found out that the Wii was supposed to be this awesome Gamecube 1.5, and the wii-mote had so much potential, that it made my pants tight (and for some reason, I just like cheering for the underdog). However, two years into the hype, we've had nothing but mediocre games, and crappy PS2 ports. The Wii-mote turned out not to register more than a swipe, and tilting the motherfucker rarely does anything, if the game was NOT developed by Nintendo. What the fuck, Reggie, you promised me I'd cream my pants about this shit, I didn't sign up to be the receiving end of an ass-reaming. I fucking hate to bust out this term, but "casual" gaming seems to be the 'in' now. It doesn't matter if you've been gaming for 22 years, you will be treated like a retard by Nintendo, since you were stupid enough to churn out 250 for a Wii, you'll probably be stupid enough to shell out 50 per ~~dissapointment~~ game. Third party developers have been releasing nothing but shovelware in the last few months (FUCK YOU UBISOFT, I AM LOOKING AT YOU AND YOUR "PARTY BABYZ"), so much for a meaning of having that "Nintendo seal of Quality". And what's this, Wii Music? THAT was your biggest announcement at E3? Get the fuck out of here! Yes, we just had Mario Galaxy, YES, we had a Zelda game at launch, but what the fuck, guys, there are tons of other franchises that are waiting to be revived or picked up. How long ago has it been since we had a DECENT Star Fox game, not counting the N64 re-release of the game? How long ago did we have a Custom Robo game? How about releasing games that will actually sell, like Earthbound for the DS, or MOTHERFUCKING LAYTON 2? And am I the only person who was actually looking forward to Project H.A.M.M.E.R.? You could have release ANYTHING, and it still would have gotten a bigger rise out of the public, than this piece of shit that's called Wii Music. I know this isn't supposed to be a game, but If I want to play make-believe guitar, I'll just reach into my pants and wail away, pretending I'm doing a solo in a Guitar Hero song. Happy endings are guaranteed. Wii sports, I loved it. Wii fit raised some question marks, but I draw the line at Wii music. Also, remember the Wii Zapper? yeah, me neither. The current trend of releasing stuff at Nintendo works like this: - Design gizmo; - Create 2 games that work ONLY with said gizmo; - Create Hype; - Release gizmo and games, with a 1:4 ratio; - NEVER RELEASE ANYTHING COMPATIBLE WITH THE GIZMO EVER AGAIN. This has gotten way out of hand, I'm not even allowed to game like I used to, unless I download games from the virtual console, but since my Wii is actually OUT OF FUCKING MEMORY, this will have to wait as well. Even though I've made several rants against the damn machine, I've bought a 360, and I can enjoy being treated as a "gamer" again, although I'm pretty sure the damn thing will probably explode in my face soon. The Wii and I haven't been on speaking terms for a few months, but that may change if Nintendo stops treating the (European) fanbase like retards.....pff, yeah right, might as well wish for flying ponies and heaps of money, although a flying pony WOULD be fucking awesome. Beats walking to work.

Ok, there's something I really have to set straight here about my "Heroes turned into shit" article, and I'm even sorry for writing it. I'm sorry for comparing something like Heroes to the X-men.

What the fuck happened to Heroes?
_{By Zhen-Chan, 09-12-2008}
Shit, when I saw season one, I creamed my pants over this series. It was awesome, filled with cool characters who had interesting subplots. (even though it was just a thinly veiled "X-men for cool people" approach) Then season 2 came around, and the writing quality dropped significantly, but I excuse that, because of the impending writer's strike, and they needed to wrap it up quickly. Fair enough. However, the writer's strike is over, and season 3 is airing right now. What the fuck happened? Did they just took some fanfiction from the net and just decided to make actual episodes of it? What the fuck, we get replacement characters for key characters (read: powers) killed off in season 1, so we can keep bullshitting around and go on fucking divine quests again? The characters gotten more emo to make Peter Parker look like he was farting rainbows in Spider-Man 3. AND FOR GODS SAKE, ANGELA PETRELLI, IT'S A VAGINA, NOT A CLOWN CAR. At the current "SURPRISE, I'M FAMILY" rate, everyone's going to be each other's brother/sister/cousin at the end of this season. Might as well call the series "COUSINS WITH SUPER POWERS" now. Also, CLONES? So when a character dies, the writers find it perfectly acceptable to just introduce the cloning concept with NO PRIOR BACKSTORY AT ALL? And the ONE character without powers, why fuck him up too? Are they even trying? Maybe this show should have gotten the bullet right after season one, and kept it good. Now it just reeks of sour milk, mixed with baby batter. Now I'm almost starting to feel glad that Firefly never gotten more episodes. Also, I'm back, and fuck you if you don't like it. This is what I do, this is what I like, and I'm not planning to stop writing/drawing or censor it, to save someone's feelings anymore. Ever.

I'm trying to update more often, I really do D: There's just not so much to talk about, I'm afraid. I've been struggling with the net as of late, and still haven't managed to get a stable connection, sadly. Drawing has slumped as well, reasons being that which I've noted earlier, having to work all day kinda drains your creativity. Of course, there are some other factors as well, but that would take way too long to moan and bitch aboot. Oh, but hey! I've recently started gaming again, so expect a few reviews up soon. Currently playing through assassin's creed. Fun game, but a bit repetitive. Kinda makes me think this would be a game for spider-man if he ever became an assassin. The way Altair climbs walls, kinda makes me hum the '69 spider-man theme. So that's it for now, I'm kinda bored, just posting here to make sure I'm NOT DEAD.

Garfield Minus Garfield Can't believe the comic's actually funnier without the cat. Oh yeah, better finish my own comics too.

A fresh new start

Whats this? NEW LAYOUT? NEW COMIC? NEW REVIEW? WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? Yes, I've been working a bit this past month. You have to keep yourself entertained, if you don't have an internet connection. First off, now that we've moved to a more stable server environment, the database won't try to commit suicide as often as it did in previous iterations (but that might also have to do with the fact that I haven't paid the bills up in this bitch yet. Still waiting for it). So what's different? mainly, this site's a bit more cleaned up. I always wanted to center my content a bit, and make it look a bit more neater with the use of tabs. I'm pretty content with how it turned out, but I suppose i'll add the occasional tweak whenever I feel like it. I'll have to work on rotating banners sometime, those are nifty. I haven't really worked on my portfolio yet, but I'll try to add as much as I can. This stuff is mostly for people I'm trying to trick into hiring me, so for the usual people, just ignore it. What else is new? not sure. Most of the content HAS been lifted from an old backup, and everything except the blog has been left intact. the reason for this is that A: most pictures and links I've used back then are down, and B: not relevant. I'll try to re-write some stuff and make it have a bit more sense, though. So now that we've got this mess sorted out, I suppose I'll have to re-start the flinging of poop against the many things I dislike. What happened in the meanwhile? well, not much, which was pretty much one of the reasons why I didn't update as much. Being a working man is kinda.... boring. At least when you're going to school, you could decide NOT to go to school, and travel to the other side of the country instead, just for the fun of it. That's when most shit happens that causes this one to write in his blog. Not that my life's all that mundane now, but when I get home, I'm tired. Not much in a writing or drawing mood. I just want to eat, go to bed, and that's it. I'll _TRY_ to update more often, but you all know how that turns out. So I've drawn a new comic, about the Hadron collider. You know, that thing where they're trying to experiment stuff, and when they fuck up big time, they create black holes on earth. Although i'm not really into this apocalypse thing, I'm pretty sure we'll be ok, since we've managed to survive that horrible "millenium bug", right? Although it is a bit unsettling to rely on an unproven theory, but meh, we'll do fine. Or not. Anyway, that's not what I wanted to talk about in this comic. The problem is the word "hadron". Being infamous for making terrible freudians, I've had my fair share of calling the thing a Hardon collider. Makes me kinda think of guys battling each other with their wang, all lightsaber style like... I should make a movie about that, sometime. Also, because I'm stealing someone's connection to upload the new site, some files aren't uploading as they're supposed to, so expect a few broken comics for the night. I'll take care of it first thing tomorrow.
