Comic Fury Webcomic Hosting - Today, i did....

Today, I finally woke up before four in the afternoon. Just now, I was watching Monday Night Raw and began a 'NO' chant because the Anonymous General Manager (I call it Not-GLaDOS because it's a freaking computer) came back to host this week.

...Then started a 'YES' chant when I found Source Filmmaker in my Steam Library, ready to download.

Today's been a good day, yes. :D

today i rediscovered black and white 2. when it finally stopped working at 9 at night i finally got around to making homemade tomato soup, doing the dishes, and finish putting the laundry away. midnight sun and addictive gaming is a bad combo guys

Awesome! I can't say that all Targets are exactly the same, but that was by far my favorite sales floor type job. I think they treat their employees well.



Wait, there was a Black and White 2? How did I not know about this?

I'm not sure where you live and if this is true, but I've heard from an employee at Target that--at least in this state--you want to stay as close to minimum wage as you can.

Apparently, if you're paid more, they WON'T be willing to work around your college classes.

I don't remember the details of the conversation, and again, this might not be true where you live, but given the nature of the story, it certainly wouldn't surprise me if it was true. Basically, they want to screw over the people with higher wages, since they don't really like paying them and want to do everything possible to get rid of them: purposefully interfering with your schedule among their dirty tricks.

Initial impression of this store, since I did a lot of sitting in the back rooms between my two separate interviews, is that it's maybe one of the nicer Targets to work at. Employees who came through there seemed relatively happy, or at least content, and easily struck up conversations with each other and sometimes me.

It's an unpleasant thought that a company would do something like this. One would hope that situations like this don't come around too often. Still, I'll keep this in mind, thanks.

I slept in until 8am, took Bobby for over an hour's walk, and have been fiddling with filesharing on a network of dual-boot PCs. More fun than it sounds.

Today I....
Realized that I have a habit of posting things on the 'Today I did..." thread that I actually did yesterday...

Yesterday, however, I did my first strength training workout in a long time... Last time I lifted any weights was probably about 2 years ago... Been pretty lazy ever since.
However, 2000 meters on a rowing machine followed by some lifting... Fun. I feel much akin to a rag doll. Oh well.
I'm pushing to be back to my previous fitness level at the end of 8 weeks, as well as being able to do 10,000 meters on the rowing machine. Not an easy task.
Luckily, my school's fitness center is set up -very- well.
The only thing they don't have is a kickbag. This bums me out but I'll be fine without it.

Today I did.... well...

I'll let you see for yourself...

I got to do some siding today. Shit, I forgot to get it signed off on my apprenticeship papers.

Today, I'm working on some prints for an upcoming con. Actually I've been working on them little by little for awhile now, I just...need to...stop playing vidya, goddamn.

Did a 10 minute figure drawing gesture warm up before comicking.
Feels good, man.

It's like stretching your muscles before running a marathon. Dang, yo.

got the order for first print run of Erzsebet #1 finished FINALLY to sell at the alternative press fair in a month :D

sent out press releases to some online publishers and sites hoping for a review somewhere

completed 2 pages of chapter 2


gonna start backgrounds for my friend's animation, then some ideas for his dark materials characters

actually feel pretty proud!

I just shook at least 10 pounds of dirt out of my car's driver side floor mat.

Went for coffee and lost my left rear turn signal :/

Today I went to the dentist...and now my mouth is in pain.

But, I also got a set of gouache paints in the mail today and have been playing with those, so it all balances out.

A microbat?! I shall tame one to be a pet! Right after I get a pet fox, cause y'know, I need one of them too XD

Finally saw The Pirates! Band of Misfits today at the dollar theater with the boyfriend. Weird as all get out, but awesome. Need to rent from Family Video or something so I can watch it with closed captioning- hearing loss plus British people talking fast is not a good combination, and I'm pretty sure I missed a lot of jokes, lol.

Played through the Earth Temple in Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and screamed several times because I forgot how terrifying the Redeads are in that game... They were scary in Ocarina of Time, but in Wind Waker they catch you off guard because everything's all cutesy and stylized and then hoLY CRUD WHAT EVEN IS THAT THING

Went to ROSS and got a couple of black dresses- a music major can never have too many performance outfits. Also found some bright red high top Converse for $25, a steal 'round these parts... I am the Doctor. It is me.

Also restarted page 5 of my comic because I accidentally spilled Pepsi on it.

Re-drawing a page as well, wish I could call foul on a soda spill, but no. It was just that god awful.

Me too sometimes, but as I live in a +10 hour timezone, yesterday is actually today for a lot of others here, For example, the 911 attack (11th of September) was actually 12th September for me when it happened.

Today, I came up with the idea for a game. Specifically, a heavily-Gauntlet-inspired (read: blatant ripoff of :P) game, taking many of the ideas within it and adding my own spin.

Mainly, I came up with the idea of six elements and five classes:
Fire (specials buff attack), Water (specials buff allies' attack), Earth (specials buff defense), Wind (specials buff allies' defense), Light (heals), and Darkness (specials kill more efficiently) for the elements, colored much as you'd expect (Red, Blue, Green, White, Yellow, and Black).

For the classes, I came up with Berserker (raw attack), Knight (raw defense), Rogue (raw speed, with faster melee attacks), Ranger (raw speed, with faster range attacks), and Archmage (items, plus small bonus to specials).

The game would have an attack button, and a special button, with a "special ability gauge". The special button when uncharged gives more powerful attacks, and can create combos of various types using other keys. The more charged the bar and/or the more complex the combo, the stronger the end attack is.

The special button at full power can unleash the ultimate attack, which kills anything unfriendly around the user and sends an attack forward, at the cost of all the gauge. At two thirds and above, there's an area attack, killing everything around the user and dealing damage to things further away, at the cost of two-thirds of the bar.

Items could be used/activated with another button, and presumably two buttons to toggle through items. With another button to bring up a menu, and I was thinking one last button to strafe, since this game is a hack-n-slash which means you can move around.

At level 10, characters' primary attribute are unlocked. At 20, they gain a spirit, offering a second attack. At 30, their ability gets upgraded. At 50, their spirit gets upgraded. At 60, they gain a second attribute. At 75, their spirit now can go through obstacles. At 99, everything gets increased.

The game comes with a choice of 30 combinations of both genders. (So, 60 characters total.) And as there are 5 classes, there are 5 people in the party (albeit only one controlled by the player, with the others being NPCs). And as such, it offers 30 areas, each with five normal levels.

But that's as far as I took the concept, other than imagining what the Archmages look like. (Short answer--insane. Fire is Laughing Mad, Darkness has a wicked grin, Light has a grin with a fang showing, you get the idea. :P)
