Break Time

Break Time published on No Comments on Break Time

Today, randomly, a guy asked me about my website while I was on my way out of the gym. Granted, he heard about it from my mom since he’s one of the staff who helps watch my brother, but I’ve officially been stopped on the street by someone who’s read my work. That’s pretty awesome.

It’s been a while since I posted in honor of the incineration-by-lightning of a local landmark. Work’s been a pain, but at least it’s been different kinds of pain, as I’ve been shipping around to different stores. As more and more places switch to all-digital and handle film off site, I’m actually finding myself kind of in demand as a fill-in, since so many trainees can’t work a wet lab, let alone troubleshoot or mix chemicals if need be. Haven’t really had time to game much, and I do have at least one gig I need to finish… after typing this, pretty much, and that’s why I haven’t added a new review of late. I’m hoping to get at least one new ‘feature’ style bit up a week again.

The doodle is because I got a new Wacom Bamboo for my birthday. That’s what I looked like while doing that sketch. The humidity is why my hair looks so awesome, but the drool is a Gucci product I’ve been trying out.

I Don’t Want To Set The World On Fire…

Or… do I?

Last day of vacation here, it’s been a pretty good ‘catch-up’ break for me so hopefully that means the end of the site’s dry spell. I’ve finished chapter 24 of Revolver and updated the first timers’ summary page if anybody’d like to give the comic a shot but don’t have time to read the whole archive right away. There’s also been a few tweaks to the character page, mainly removing incidents of the word ‘mysterious’ for characters whose motivations and natures were revealed months and months ago. Chapter 25 starts Friday. And with a totally different set of characters.

The scene change goes nicely with me being sick of drawing Kenji in his little Sol Badguy headgear thing. (Technically it’s a ‘modern’ Surrenian Army visor, but who paid that much attention to Z’s flashback chapter anyway?)

(Once I ‘fix’ the RK hub page, the comic related blurbs will probably stay there for the most part since I know there’s a subset out there who think the comic promotions are kind of annoying and just want to see more gaming stuff.)

On that note, and since I’ve saving my vinegar for full length pieces, I’ve been enjoying the daylights out of Macross Ultimate Frontier for the PSP, something of a delayed Christmas gift from Jake (longtime readers might be getting the impression I’ve pretty much only got one friend in real life, and that’s a blatant mistake- I have three!) The ‘giant robot’ genre of action gaming is bizarrely empty of quality titles, especially if the stuck-in-the-cockpit perspective of Mechwarrior isn’t your cup of tea. MUF does a pretty admirable job of recreating Macross dogfighting, with missiles twisting everywhere in wild patterns and familiar series background tunes. While the designs in the sequel and prequel series are awesome, the most fun I had was blasting through the classic Macross series since I was a Robotech addict when I was younger. About the only gripe I have for the game is that it looks amazing in action, but when you see the stills on loading screens or when a model moves just the right way, they look really cheesy. Since when you take the poly count down on a Zentraedi battleship, it’s basically a giant death pickle.

Maybe that’s what my next stupid doodle will be. Death pickle. Yeeeeeah.
