Up Up Down Down

Signs

2D — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:17:53 +0000

Elderly crossing signs are real and we should respect the warning those signs represent. You don’t know what the elderly have learned in their extensive years on this planet. Or what hindrances they’ve abandoned because, tarnation, they can’t be bothered to care. What are you going to do when an older version of this guy [...]

Whomp! Guest Comic

2D — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:30:58 +0000

While we didn’t do a Valentine’s Day comic this year I feel this is the next best thing. Ronnie who does Whomp! Comic was kind enough to do a guest comic for us and I love it. In an Avatar-esque fashion its as if he limply ran his down the front of our faces and [...]

Pay No Attention To That Music Behind The Curtain

2D — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:48:46 +0000

When people ask me what kind of music I listen to, I lie. Typically people who ask that question are looking for a kindred spirit; almost like they’re pulling me close and inhaling my scent, looking for the sweet smell of mutually-loved music. But they don’t want to know the truth because my real answer [...]

Battlefield 3 Intensity

I have a confession: I’m a closet FPS player. When people ask me what games I play, it’s always “oh you know, RPGs, RTS’, MMOs, stuff like that.” But they don’t know the truth. From age 15 to 17 I played Quake 2 online, everyday, while listening to Crystal Method, I Mother Earth and Prodigy. [...]

Show Me on the Barret Doll Where Cloud Touched You

2D — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:09:51 +0000

If I told you how I really felt about Final Fantasy VII, I would have to show you on the doll where the game touched my heart, my no place, and every single one of my yes places. Maybe that’s as truthful as I should get. It’s not one thing that makes FFVII so special [...]

Resource Allocation

Note: So I wrote the below post in advanced, before websites agreed to blackout for SOPA today. Back then, it was clever. Now it just comes off as repetitive. But you’re going to read it anyways, and you’re going to read it good. Also, some of the links don’t work because the sites are down [...]

So Happy

automaton — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:56:32 +0000

I’ve gone to some parties in my days. I don’t know who invited me to them. And while at such events, I can’t count the number of times that people have come up to me and asked me why I’m not having a good time. Was I not smiling enough? Did I not look happy? [...]

Altered Stupid

automaton — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:08:33 +0000

Today’s comic is based on Altered Beast. This game came out in the arcade in 1988 when I was 6 years old. It’s actually the first arcade game that I have memories of playing. I loved it, though I had no idea what the game was called, or why you turned into a beast. I [...]

Bizarro Bayonetta

2D — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 15:36:21 +0000

If you think there’s nothing wrong with certain mammoth elements in Bayonetta, I challenge you to play / discuss it in a variety of public situations. Like when you’re meeting your girlfriend’s mother for the first time, tell her there’s this great game you want her to watch you play. Or give a detailed description [...]

Cocktopus

automaton — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 15:10:49 +0000

Today’s comic might be viewed as erotic, from a certain point of view. The idea all began when one day, I randomly named myself cocktOpus, as per our ongoing Mario Kart DS name saga. The capital “O” there is very important, as we’ve learned from other things. Anyways, I don’t know why I chose that [...]
