'Teamwork' woes

Every time I speak to Napz and Yoshi, it seems that the comic is becoming less and less of 'our venture' and more 'their venture'... To better understand where I'm coming from... Allow me to tell you a tale. A tale of the creation of our comic. A tale... Well you get the idea.

The idea originally spawned from some rather philosophical chatting between Yoshi and myself over a few friendly (although horribly one sided) SSBM games... We decided that we couldn't live meaningless lives within an office cubical, doing work that no one will appreciate till we don't do it, and never leaving our mark on anything. We wanted more. We wanted to be known. To be a chatroom name. We wanted to be omnipresent across the internet. And thus, the comic's original, very vague form was born unto this world.

Now, our biggest concern was that neither of us knew anything about the whole debacle. And so we buckled down and eventually emerged with an Alpha version. "Level Up". It was an ongoing story about 2 best friends who spent their days within the worlds biggest and most needlessly complex arcade. This was going along rather well till we realised we actually knew very little of arcade's these days. And so the project was scrapped entirely.

Next, we created our brain child. Our favourite and someday, hopefully a well selling comic book. Game Over. It was a very elaborate, action packed story of how the video game producers were evil tyrants, and the developers had to enlist the help of key gamers across the globe.

Now. Onto the next issue. Neither of us could draw (Yoshi being severely out of practice). And so, I enlisted the help of a newfound friend 'Pickle Jar'. But what we soon came to realise was that he was highly unreliable, and ultimately a rather useless guy. We got one pic that had nothing to do with anything.

After grieving over out artist issues, we made a new idea to harbour our more erratic ideas that would not fit into Game Over. We would later dub the comic 'Friendly Fire' as a temporary name... But for now, we wrote and wrote and came out with a number of scripts.

It was at this point, that Yoshi was struck with a revelation. His old friend Napz was a brilliant artist. Perhaps he could help? And so we contacted him. He agreed very quickly, and even moved closer for convenience.

This was were my troubles began (Cue bitching)... Yoshi and Napz go way back. Primary school way back. And thus, they seemed to share some kind of, higher level of friendship than that of Josh and I. Which has proven evident as they often tend to plan things for the comic without asking me... And often, they planned to do things or go places or just plain hang out. Now, I wouldn't so much mind this, if not for the fact that I often receive back word that there was a rule to keep these things hush, hush from me.

The biggest issues I have, are that they often gang up on me over issues within the comic. Never have I had someone agree with me on something that someone else did not agree with. Thusly, I always end up feeling as tho my opinion holds little value in the whole matter.

First it was every name I've ever suggested for the comic (Granted some were bad... But I've had some good ones too) Then it was Mav's name. They tried to tell me that it was unrealistic, and that I could not use it, whilst Yoshi was apparently perfectly fine. And now, after Yoshi and myself worked out what the Pilot issue would be (A jumping the shark reference) Napz decided he didn't get it, and thus didn't like it. Ok. Fair cop. But then Yoshi changes positioning and decides he no longer likes it either. Back to square one I guess...

And now, they have both decided on a pilot, and without seeing what I think, or asking for my input to any degree, they are now creating this comic, even as I type this. So I decided that perhaps my 2 cents were valued to some degree, and suggested something that would give the issue more of a 'first issue' feel to it. To which I was greeted by their comment of 'Oh it doesn't need to feel like a first issue'...

Is it just me? Or am I not part of this thing anymore? Because seriously? I don't remember the last time my input was given any credit, or the last time that I was asked about anything. The only times it gets brought up to me these days is when I'm already there and it just seems convenient.

(Authors Note: I realise that the bitching about them not telling me about going places has nothing to do with the core rant... I just felt like getting that outa my system as well)

Time Will Tell

Well. Seems I finally managed to work out a little of where Reg is coming from when we argue. So perhaps we'll be able to work our differences out and whatnot. Or maybe not. Who knows?

In any case, the more important matter at hand here is that I may have found myself someone. Call it an attempt if you will. I met her quite some time ago, and have only just come back into contact with her. She's a nice girl. And although she will deny it, she's quite good looking too :)

So all in all I probably have no chance in Hades... But hey, can't blame a guy for trying right?

Short I know. But I'm sure you'll all deal with it.

Tale Of Three

I'd like to touch base on 3 topics tonight...

Firstly... Huzzah! I'm finally finished school! It's all over, and god willing, I will never step foot in a classroom ever again! (At least, not on the learning end of the spectrum). It's been 12 long years... But it's finally over. No more tests. No more assignments. No more teachers. No more late slips and bathroom passes! Oh happy days!

To those of you still stuck in one of these concrete prisons... You have my deepest sympathy's.

Second thing. And this pertains to everyone who likes Indy Rock (Think Nickelback). I have just tonight discovered a band named "Theory Of A Dead Man". They are extremely good, and even on my pathetic 56k, I have already downloaded 8 of their songs, and hunger for more. I'm putting it to all who read this plea, to go forth and discover them. They are brilliant.

Finally, I have been looking at the Final Fantasy VII Compellation. And I have to say, I'm becoming more and more interested every time I look it up. What I've just discovered is "Last Order". An Anime OVA that runs approximately 30 minutes. It revolves around the event that took place in Nibelheim involving Zack, Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockhart and Sephiroth. The other shows Zack and Cloud escaping from Shin-Ra. The anime cuts back and forth between these two, linked by Tseng as he reflects on both events. So from the sounds of things, it's looking to be a very interesting show.

As a final statement....

I'm Alive

Laser Force Sunday was canceled, so I was unable to repreive myself from this slump I've fallen into. With no distractions, I've had the whole weekent to just think. And I'll tell you now, this is a bad thing...

Xin seems to have become very quiet since the school got blowen up (this is a game for those who don't know, so don't fret... There's a link just over there) and so with that being so slow, I've even lost that stimulation. I've had one thread that's kept me going. Oh well...

Parents went food shopping... Been some months since they did a proper one... $500 later and we have supplies for a while >_>

I'm gonna have to worm my way outa doing my English Assignment tomorow as I cannot print a thing... Teach won't be happy, but that's her problem realy... I'll have a note and everything. The system fails again. And I couldn't be happier.

As far as the comic goes, I've been told that the site is ready for Alpha testing. It just needs a pilot issue of the comic. So we are going to convine in Modern History to come up with something. Once we have it, I might even get Napz to just give the damn thing to Max for scanning, as it will save us all the hassle of teaching him propper scanning ettiquet. But we shall see how we go.

Nothing overtly interesting I know... This is, as the title implies, more a post just to let you all know I still live and havn't abandoned you like I have so many times before. I'm remaining vigilant.

Class Clown

Before I get started, on request of sister dearest, I shall elaborate upon the Misty thing. She has a lazy eye, and some other condition that make one of them (not sure which) near blind. So when she looks at people, she seems like she's looking over your shoulder. As I said, it's weird at first... But once you get to know her, it doesn't bother you anymore.

So onto today's story.

Year 12 was called down to the hall for a special guest parade sorta thing. This guy was some doctor or something... I wasn't really paying explicit attention as I detest sitting on the ground. But anyway, he was yakking on about drugs and what not, seeing as we would be partying hard now that "School's out for Summer. School's out forever". And one thing he started talking about was peoples ability to look at a situation and say "That's a bad choice. I won't do that." His example was this.

He sectioned year 12 into 4 groups. "We will take some buses down to Wynnum Plaza, and each group will take a floor, and we will streak through them!" Now, he is standing there, 65 or so, expecting everyone to say "No way dude!" But what do you think happened?

Woodie. Class clown extrodenare, rips his shirt from his body and screams as he runs out of the hall. You should have SEEN that guy's face! Best assembly I've ever attended.

Only other newish news is that the web comic should soon have a website as we have decided to bite the billet, and just let Max make the site for now. When we're done, the comic will be drawn and put online.

+1 Weekend

That's right boys and drags (I sincerely doubt girls read this). I spent yet another weekend on the road. And amazingly, both Saturday AND Sunday started early for me. Seeing as my weekdays start at 4:30 (A mere 3 hours from now) I don't normally do that. But let it be known that I am NOT a sloth when I need to be!

Saturday was Doom the movie. Now let me warn anyone who's hopes that this will be another Resident Evil transgression are high... It's not. This is just an hour and a half of leave your brain at the door action and suspense. Hell, half the movie isn't even ON Mars.

So with that out of the way, good ol Nigel decided that a purchase of Doom 3 was in order. $30 later, we were on our way back to his humble abode.

Now, I don't claim to be good at FPS. But I don't think the fact that my computer was stuffing up at the lowest graphics settings was helping my game a whole lot... But we did come to the revelation that WoW is not the only game in existence. A nice breath of fresh air indeed.

With Saturday out of the way, onto Sunday. Sunday was a makeshift party at Jonno's place. 6 people don't really constitute a party so I'll say 'get together'. But never the less it WAS fun. We had a little tag team Mario Party 5. Jonno and I were the victors. However, everyone seemed to agree that he took the victory a little too seriously. Oh well. Them's the breaks.

Invader Zim and Pizza, followed with a capping of Smash Brothers. All in all, the day was quite good. I even solved the mystery of why Misty never seems to look me in the eye when she talks to me. Which I'll admit was kina weird at first. But it's cool.

In any case, blabidy blah blah, I'll try to post more... Schools almost over and out so I should have more time up my sleves, so expect more from the Mavmister.

Advent Children Was Awsome

Ok… It’s been quite some time… But I’m going to TRY and get this stuff done. So what to post? Well I suppose a primary thing would be Advent Children. This movie is brilliant. So brilliant that I’m able to sell it to die hard Final Fantasy fans. So I’m able to both spread the love and cash in. It’s win win! I’ll throw up a quick review for convenience of simply linking back here when asked for one.

Maverik’s patented spoiler free review!

The movie, as most of you already know revolves around the exploits of Cloud and co set some 2 years after the fall of meteor. And when I sat ‘and co’ I mean the whole gang shows up at one point or another. Just some get more screen time than others.

The fight scenes are really what carry the movie to greatness. Don’t get me wrong. The comedy and storyline are well written. But it is the chance to witness your favorite characters finally fighting it out in full rendered CG action. And WHAT action! Let’s just say that the laws of physics have very little influence on our characters movements. And it never looked sweeter.

The whole movie looks fantastic and is a really pleasant watch. Just be careful of who you watch it with, as arguments of Final Fantasy past have been known to crop up mid movie, and completely ruin the experience. THANK GOD I watched it with Yoshi the first time.

Review End

Another thing I suppose was an interesting happening was my discovery of the legendary Camel Spider. Look it up because I’m not linking. Let’s just say that when you peel yourself off the ceiling looking for one, you should research it a bit more closely.

Return 2: The... Returnening...

Ahhh... It has been some time no? Well I'll try and be more faithfull with my posts. No garentees though (Not that anybody realy cares... I mean, no one reads this or anything...). In any case, I have been looking into the more technical aspects of the comic's site, since Yoshi is taking his sweet time doing so. And I have discovered that I know almost nothing about these things. Go figure.

In any case, I have finished QCS and am doing Block Exams... Fun fun... And thus, I am flat out bored. But hopefully the future will yeild something more interesting than another playthrough of FFVII (Although that IS rather interesting).

I'd do that movie review... But it's kinda late for that. So I'll leave this as a short and breif post. "G'night population"

Things To Come

Well. On the recommendation of a few friends. I'm now downloading this new game called 'GunZ'. It seems interesting enough. An MMOTPS (Massive Multiplayer Online Third Person Shooter) about lord knows what. I'm not quite sure if it's what one would consider an MMO however, as it is apparently played similarly to the Jedi Knight games, and it is played in the same way one would use the online multiplayer function of any game. You pick a server, then connect to a game of your liking. Such things include the usual stuff. Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, CTF. There's also something called Assassination, which I'm guessing will be a Juggernaut of kinds.

Now the actual obtaining of this game is quite difficult for poor old me, as I'm confined to the shackles of my 56k modem and as such, the 131 MB file is rather taxing... But having hunted down an option to disable forced reconnections, and a 5 hour connection limit, I'm hoping to be able to download while I sleep. (Sounds like one of those infomercial products that never work)

Tomorrow, or today I suppose seeing the time, I'm going into town to bare witness to that which is War Of The Worlds on the IMax (I seem to have REALY good luck with movies lately as Star Wars III was also on said IMax...) with Yoshi. So you can expect a full report on that when I get back. Or on Monday. Whenever I decide it's worth bothering, as I will probably want to try out GunZ before doing much else.

In any case, I'll just shamelessly plug my Air Force RPB and leave you saying. "It may be the early bird that catches the worm... But it is the fashionably late one that steals it at half the effort".

I'm Baaaaaaack...

That's right boys, girls and everything in between. My computer is back from the shop and workin fine! Well... As fine as this computer can anyway. But rather than bitch about wishing I too had a tiny Hercules, I will explain what was wrong and such.

We sent it in finally, as the power supply simply packed it in and moved to Hawaii or something. But in any case, with no conceivable method of running the computer in any way shape or form, mother dearest was forced to send the ol girl in for repairs. And I mean this literally. She summoned the almighty grandmother to take it... That's parents for you... Anyway. Once it was in, they did the obvious thing first. They went on holiday. Don't you just love that warm snuggly feeling of customer satisfaction? I know I sure do. So after that little charade was over, they got down to the more important business of actually fixing the damn thing. Now, first things first. New power supply. All hooked up and rearing to go. This did not however, fix my Blue Screen Of Death problem. So they cracked the case open, and found what they described as a 'coffee like substance, mixed with dust'. This was cooked to perfection and left to dry apparently, as it covered a section of both my motherboard and graphics card. Now the first thing that I thought was "We don't drink coffee" (I'm more of a tea man myself). Of course, I was sure to point out the fact that it had been doing it since we bought it, so they couldn't say "Coffee like!" at me. So the solution was apparently simple... Lace this substance with vinegar and leave to dry for 3 days. Now my first qualm about this was brought to my attention by my good friend Scythe. Vinegar is very acidic... WHY would they be putting something acidic on the cards? Long story slightly shorter. It's fixed. So I'll hopefully be able to post frequently which is a good thing.

Now that I've bored you all to death I have but one last thing to say... "People think that I must be a very strange person. This is not correct. I have the heart of a small boy. It is in a glass jar on my desk."

Philosophy In L33t

I was speaking with a few friends on this boring BCT lesson today, when the conversation turned to looking up the theories behind time travel. We came to realise that in order to time travel, we would first have to meet the speed of light. A mere 299,792,458 Meters a second… Well. That shouldn’t be too hard… Oh and did I mention that that’s only fast enough to STOP time and not traverse it? Well apparently, you have to EXCEED that speed to start moving through time in the reverse direction or even at an accelerated rate.

I phrase it like that because in all technicality, we are already traversing time. We do so at a certain rate and in one direction and have the knowledge to do so from birth. It’s the 4th dimension, and it’s scary how few people realise this.

In any case, after a while the conversation somehow turned to Global Warming, and we came to realise just how much we are screwing our planet. But it was when Yoshi whipped up that chart that I couldn’t help but edit the image as thus.

It’s sad to think that it’s true as well… But something I also wanted to point out by posting this, is that if you’ll look, the point where global warming starts to skyrocket is around the industrial era. Well… If that doesn’t tell those who say “No such thing” that we are the responsible ones, then I don’t know what will.

So till next time, always remember that the worlds most deadly weapon is that of the squirrel in the hands of a crazed maniac.

Side Of The Force?

Saw Star Wars 3 on Friday and watched the Clone Wars cartoon episodes today. The saga is finally complete. I would insert a lovely image of my ticket, however somewhere during the move, I've lost track of the camera, and there is no way I'm about to plug the scanner in as I've yet to obtain the desk space to accommodate it.

The movie was good. Personally I hold it almost in as high regard as I hold episodes IV through VI. And now that it's finished, all I have to do is wait for that first edition, uber, proves your a geek 6 movie box set. It will be encased in a platinum box. The DVD cases will be solid gold, and the disk's will be pure silver. It will cost a mere $900,000,000,000 US and there will be only 3 made. They will then shoot the guy who made them.

If you actually for a second believed that such a testament to George Lucas' master piece would be made, I pity you... But I do have every intention of buying the first edition set of 6 providing they create one. It will then be complimented by having a huge party like thing in which several people will gather at whosever house can accommodate them, and we shall watch from start to finish. Not for the faint of heart. There ain't gonna be no toilet breaks on this ride.

On a completely unrelated note. I've found a store nearby that sells toy guns that resemble the gun used by Vash The Stamped in the very popular Anime, Trigun. You can bet this will cause me to begin work on obtaining a Vash costume. I intend to literally blow away judges at the next Supernova. Then again... I may simply not do anything, like every other year I've said I was going to go cosplay. Oh well. One can dream.

So this is me signing off for some unknown amount of time. And again sating "Don't steal from your parents... Everyone knows grandparents have more money."

Like A Teenage Girl On Hormones PMSing...

We are finally out of the old place and into this new one. Nifty. But I was shocked to find that my bitchy computer decided to get it's period or something when we set it up and it's been beyond fragile ever since. Seriously, this thing seems like it will crash if I sneeze...

But onto a happier note... I now have Foxtell Digital. Hurrah! Well... Kinda. It's good. But it's just a matter of time before the novelty dies and I just use it to freeload movies. For now though, it's precious and sacred. 3 cheers for corporate marketing!

In this new house, I'm walking distance from a shopping centre and train station. And as an added bonus... It feels and looks like suburbia. But alas it's still in the middle of nowhere. However, just the lingering fumes of the illusion keep me sane at night. Which is a good thing because I won't be waking up screaming anytime soon.

In the world of the comic, bizarre seems to be on the agenda. I've been hearing ideas for completely abstract issues. One such idea is based entirely around a urinal cake. Use your imagination people. The other major one I've herd of is one by Napz. Apparently you have to see it to understand. But as Yoshi put it... "Any comic with a talking pig in it is ok with me". But that's yet to be seen when I view it.

I now feel obliged to explain the term "Jumping the Shark" for reasons I shall not divulge here. This refers to an episode from Happy Days. It was the episode where you could pinpoint that the series had finished it's run and was going downhill. In this episode, "The Fonz" was water skiing. Leather jacket and all. At some point a shark is encountered and in a very action like sequence, he hit's a jump and fly's over the shark. And thus the term "Jumping the Shark" was coined. Huzzah for Yoshi's wealth of pop culture knowledge.

So this is me saying "Shoot em all." Yes. All.

Serenity Is Finaly Here

I actually hadn't herd of Serenity until just today... But I've gotta say. This move looks the shit. As a result I am putting it on my must see list alongside Episode III. Another movie I've been looking into is The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. After that I can't think of too many other movies I'm REALY looking forward to...

And now a bit of good news for all you Linux lovers out there. New information on the 2.6.12 kernel has been released to the public. Huzzah. Personally I don't use Linux because I'm not in the programming/hacking business these days. But I just felt that a few readers may find it interesting.

I've recently been asked to explain who one David Firth is as I've brought him up in conversation. I always answerer simply and easily. "He's one fucked up bastard". I say this because I've watched his animations and no one can think of things that twisted without having a screw or two loose. I will warn you now. Most of those video's are NOT work safe. And I don't mean this in the sense of nudity, but in the sense that you will probably not wanting too many people knowing you watch these things. For those with a weak stomach, I will suggest whole heartedly that you stay the fuck away from The Milkman and Valentines Day Special...

Finally I leave you all with this pointless little time waster. What kind of homicidal maniac are you or one of your friends? I don't particularly care. But if you do, then this should lay those restless thoughts to sleep.

And so Adue, Adue... In the end, I will be worth more money than you.

When All Else Fails, Lie

I've found this tactic quite useful in recent days. Some people I know have been trying to send me potential scripts for the comic... I put on a pretty face and accept the files with promises that I shall look them over. Of course, after so many from people I barely know, I tend to simple delete these. I know who the characters are. So do Yoshi and Napz. You do not. So stop with the sending.

On the flip side of the coin I'm quite open to suggestions on how to improve a comic I have made as I do want public opinion. It's the life-blood of the comic anyway. Well... Actually, no it's not. And that's really the whole point. I'm just an insecure writer.

Other than that, I need to set some kind of outing up with Yoshi sometime in the near future... Perhaps getting him to come over to discuss the comic, and help us move furniture onto trucks in the process. Hell, I got Syphon to do it once. And besides, it would be both productive and beneficial to him in both senses of the words in that he will also be getting me to Wynnum North sooner.

Short post I know. But I've not much to say that won't leak out too much comic info... *Sigh* Oh well. This is Mav saying "When you walk down that theme park's road... Kick a costumed idiot in the nads fer me."

In The Shadows

Firstly I must apologise for my most recent post... I may have been a bit too quick to accept a gaming channel and as such I didn't really research the thing properly. But you live and learn I guess.

In other news, this will rape your grandmother and ask for seconds. I absolutely love that vid. I actually had not thought of an MGS AMV until I saw that. But I must agree, it makes a very good candidate. I'm currently gathering them so that I may create my own to a tune I will not reveal. Call it a secret project if you will.

We will know for sure whether we are moving to this new place or not by Tuesday. We were SUPOSED to know by tonight but apparently that aint happening now. This dose not bode well folks... I smell impending doom upon the horizon. I swear I'm gonna scream so loud they'll here me in Scandinavia if we don't get it...

The comic hasn't progressed any on this end lately. I'm having a frustrating convo with Napz even as I post this. He's just being annoying for the sake of it I know... But still. It makes a 10 minute info exchange take an hour or so...

All else I can really say right now is that I was banned off the comp all day for a stupid reason I won't go into here. So that'll explain where I've been all day. In any case, remember the advice of someone I can't remember. Always keep a flag by your door for those days when the Jehovah's witnesses are out in droves.

We Demand G4

I'm gonna jump straight into the point here. Fellow Australian gamers! The time is now for us to band together and let our bitching cry out and be herd in droves at once! We want's G4 on Australian Cable TV! Go forth and contact the cable company's and demand that we receive it! And that out bitching will not cease until we are appeased. Austar, Foxtell, Optus. All must convert to out visions. As must any other providers within Australia that I am unaware of. As gamers, we demand our gamers channel!

Hopefully that has inspired the masses to go forth. But more than likely not... I'm still unsure how far the reach of my Blog extends as of yet. But never fear, I am taking up other methods of spreading mass rioting and the like to come crashing down on Cable TV's ass. I for one will be calling, mailing and emailing Austar till I am blue in the face, out of ink and out of Internet.

Movin On West

All seems confirmed people. I'm headed west. And to all you non believers who said it would never happen, I am going back to Wynnum North! Put that in your pipe and choke on it. This means a 4 am wake up and an hour 40 minutes train trip. But guess what? I don't care! Cus I'll be back among the people! *Dose prenuptial agreement dance*

The day itself wasn't so bad. School was eventful for once which explains the lack of bitching. Things went down-hill afterwards... But we went out for dinner so things evened out. However I'm on my old 56k ATM due to our ADSL bill having not been paid. But we are changing providers to TPG so it's all good.

To those who I RP with, I apologise for my diminished posting recently, but IPT assignment called for a 68 page documentation that needed doing -_- Well actually 200 was preferred, but we just couldn't push past the 68 mark. Oh well. In any case, I'll be trying to RP more often if school doesn't rape my free time like that again.

In comic news, I've started working on those ark's, and I must say, they are coming out rather nicely. I've gotten a few compliments, and even caused a chuckle from Yoshi on the first draft. An accomplishment in itself. Am currently writing a set where they go to Japan. It has to end in deportation... If you guys have some funny ideas about what jokes could be used I'd appreciate. I'm intending to make this a long ark.

Anyway. I have something else I want to post but I'm not going to wait for the images to upload on this connection so you'll all just have to wait till later for that. I'll try to give it it's own post if nothing interesting happens otherwise. Till then, this is Mav saying, Stay in school! It's just so much more inconvenient for the teachers.

Dance With The Devil In The Pale Moonlight

No seriously that title has little if anything to do with the post. It just sounds cool. Today was like any other day at my current school. Shit house. Spent half the fucking day with a migraine and come 4th period I get people telling me "Oh you failed that IPT assignment cus you weren't here and your partner didn't write the documentation". Greeeeeeeeeat... Well I might be able to salvage some marks... I did actually program the damn game... Who cares if you can't win? Just a minor glitch... Not like I expected to do well anyway. Oh well. I'll hand it in so I can at least pass the subject. As far as I can tell, the house inspection went well seeing as how mother dearest wasn't tearing her hair out when I got home.

For some reason I've been listening to allot more heavy music lately... Sum 41, Slipknot & Tool... Those kinda things. Odd... Oh well. I shan't dwell on pointless shit for any longer than I have to. I think to much as it is.

Some stuff flying about on the comic. Seems ground rules were set while I wasn't looking. These include but are not limited to, No female lead characters & no solid work until we have a web site made. That last one isn't really all that logical to me... If it's all finished at the same time isn't that a fuckload more convenient? Oh well. I'm just gonna float along the current for a while and see what happens. No point cracking a whip I don't own so to speak.

Oh and something I had to guess would happen did. It's been about a day since I made this blog... Shock horror. Jis is gonna set one up to put down updates on his flash series. As noble as his intentions might be... I can't help but feel he keeps deciding to do things because I'm doing them or because Yoshi is doing them. A similar thing happened when we started work on a web site and a web comic. He made one of each as well. I dunno. Maybe it's just me but I could swear he's suffering from the neighbour syndrome.

Anyway... That's all I can be bothered with and all I've been authorised to say. Peace out and... I dunno... Whack a mole or something...

From The Depths Of School

It's BCT and I'm bored sensless. I have nothing to do seeing as the work provided is just buisy work. Let me make something clear right now... I hate buisy work... And as such I refuse to do it. So I've been whittling away the time chatting with people seated behind me and such. The morning hasn't gone well so far. The house inspector got there before I left which was an encounter I was hoping to avoid as best I could. But as always it was up to me to do the meet and greet. I'm getting so sick of doing that kind of shit. Always answering the phone and saying the persons name aloud back to them so I can find out if mother is home. I'm not a fucking answering machine.

As usual I was late to school, so theres another unexplained absence for my record. If theres a spot in Guinus for the most days absent for an actual attending student who isn't wagging, then I'll be god damn trying for it. At least some good will then come from my mothers horrid sence of time. And I'm quite serious about her sence of time. Everyone in our family adds on about an hour to make leway for her to get to family get togethers. We tryed telling her the time she had to be there was about an hour b4 it was, but she outsmarted us and turned up then. So muh for that idea.

Well that's all the shit I can be arsed to say for now. Check back later tonight, I'll probably have updated again by then.

The Generic-ness Begins

Lookie lookie, Mav has a blog. How origional *rolls eyes*. But I don't exactly give a fuck, and there is the beauty of it all. What can you expect to see here? Well for one I'm going to throw in the occational rant about how goes the comic myself and the team are throwing together peice by peice. Other than that, just some random shit about what I've been up to. Maby if I get a camera worth a buck I'll even add in the occational picture. And just so I can stop you all before you start bitching, yes I will put a picture of myself up instead of my avitar, but for now, deal with it.

Now that the pleasantry's are out of the way (If you could realy call any of that pleasent) I'll get down to business. If I spell something wrong, then that's my problem. Don't go pointing it out in a comment because you can go get fucked for all I care about the subject. Next, if you have a problem about me swearing, then don't start posting comments or sending me hate mail about it. If you'll kindly look up you'll notice that the blog is titled "Maverik Uncensored". So expect some cursing because personaly I need somewhere I can let loose. And you've just found it.

Now for some ACTUAL BLOGING!

Today was shit. No other way to describe it. We have some house inspection coming up and had to clean stuff. I don't realy see why. I mean, we are intending to move soon anyway. And if our landloards give us a good recomendation I'll be damn surprised as they seem to hate us these days. Probably because we actualy know they can't syphon money from us. I did try to warn dear mother not to move here. I was growing quite fond of that place. Had a seperate building for me and everything. But no. This place would be better. Yea. When was the last time you were right about that ma? *Sigh* But that's that. Were moving again soon. Aparently northside. Alota fucking good it's gonna do me... Everyone and everything I know is down here on the south side. Oh well. That's parents for you.

As far as the comic gose, for those of you who don't know (Which I'll assume is anyone who dosn't yet know me personaly) it's a joint project between myself and my 2 friends, Yoshi and Napz. I script, Napz draws & Yoshi co writes, co draws and is our web master. We did up a chart of all the stages and worked out that he is actualy involved to some degree in every stage of developmeny. Oh well. More work for him.

In any case, Yoshi's been doing some reasearch on the subject of web comics and has decided that what you people want are comics with continuing plots as opposed to stand alone issues ala Garfeild or some other sunday funny pages strip. I supose I should also refference to Penny Arcade in that respect... Seeing as how they are a web comic. (Yay, I just made a shameless plug to a well known website so I'll show up in google searches, aren't I clever *Rolls Eyes*) So now I'm going to have to change tactics and start writing in story arks rather than stand alone issues. But I'm fine with that. I'm better at those anyway. Well. That's all I can be arsed to say for now. Peace out and all that good shit.
