The Io mug:

The Roja mug:

And easily the funniest, the rubber girl mug, which has 2 sides:


These are all designed by Zach and can b purchased at his DA storefront. I highly recommend the rubber girl one. ^^






That's it for comics really. as for myself, stressing times, my sis is gonna have an operation soon, her BF is being emo cause she made a friend online, he just dumped her as I'm typing this, and i so don't need all this fucking drama.

With that in mind, and out of mutual boredom, i pocked Zach to doodle concept art of what my character would look like as a platformer hero.
I considered making a Super Mario World hack, but 2 problems with that: the tools are really hard to use (as all hack/modding programs, seriously, put some work into those u damn halfassed programmers), and the sprite size and palette are really limiting. I know it's old school, but honestly, Mario has only 3 frames in his walk or run animation 1 of them being his stand frame.
Let me get this straight: I do not watch too much television, but once in a while I might flip through some of the other channels and get something nice to watch. Normally I avoid the Turner Network Television TNT because there is nothing really good on that network, but one day I happened to stumble upon a cheesy ass movie called The Librarian. Now the first thing that popped into my head was Indian Jone Clone, but upon watching it, I fell for the quirkiness the show brings. To sum it up real quick for those who do not know the movie series, the main character Flynn (Noah Wyle) becomes the Librarian whose job is to protect and seek rare magical artifacts. The story is pretty much standard fare: Guy meets girl, bad guys, some kind of doom, resolution, kissing scene. Standard but good fun watching.

It's a real shame no Shiranui is present. Real bouncing ninja boobies will just have to wait.
I've noticed that the art is much better now since Hiroaki is doing it. You might recognize his art from KoF EX2, Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, or Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition. While he's not Shinkiro, I do prefer his art over Nona or Falcoon any time and any day. Especially Falcoon, his ass should be fired by now.
And here is the new Kyo clone, unimaginatively named "Nameless". Seriously? Nameless? You could have called him Ultra Gay Lite Kyo or something. Well, it could be something really bad like Magaki Junior or even worst an Ash clone, but I will just call him Crappy 4.0.



Quite a few of you guys should b familiar with Noise, a jap artist that has a whole site full with his Felicia doodles, he seems to have grown bored of her for the past few years so he rarely updates anymore.
Kinda surprised Awkward Zombie didn't update, but i read on the site Katie's doing college applications or something, so i kinda hope it works out for her.
I haven't mentioned DrMcNinja in a while cause i couldn't see where the story was going and there really wasn't much to comment about, but it's finally been explained that the Doc and Gordito were helping Marty getting rid of the Robster by trying to make him think Marty had crazy mind powers, that much most of us could had guessed it. then the Robster gives Marty an ultimatum, and we're given given insight on how Marty has been misunderstood and basically poorly treated his whole life. I like that he thinks of Gordito just for that simple comment on his commercial. It was sort of expected that Marty would snap, but is it me or is Marty a lil bigger than he normally would b? I do like that the artist didn't do the Hulk bullshit that the tiny pants turn into shorts, there never was logic behind that. Although I'm not too crazy about the idea of a dangling giant purple dong, it still makes sense. The rampaging Marty makes me wonder if it was really worth putting up this charade to begin with, but I'm gonna assume he went "super saiyan"ogre style because his friends were in danger. Really is hard to predict anything in this comic, looking forward to what happens next.
VGcats updated the super effective subsection with 2 comics, but one's really just an intro panel to the later comic, which i liked, all this "i believe in you" shit ALWAYS makes me think of Pokemon and is so cheesy. i just like when someone makes fun of it.

Another notable crossover is Smash Bros, only because it didn't try to go with a bullshit story, it was rather clever. When u play the N64 version of the game, the characters as presented as toys that a kid is playing around with, and the battles supposedly take place in his imagination. Rather than to make up a story that involves character than have nothing in common, they just said it's was all in a kid's mind. quite brilliant really. This was later on replaced in the series with trophies and some weird story, but it's fair to assume it's still all happens in a child's imagination. (i haven't played brawl, so if it doesn't, they're fucked it up, but it would explain why sonic got in it)
So what make a bad crossover bad u say? well, the best best to explain is to critique one, a really stupid one, and there's recent game that fits this description PERFECTLY. I'm obviously talking about the steaming pile of shit that is: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
The power levels of characters is absurdly different. Superman should easily pwn anyone in that game, however, even simple punches can harm a guy who u could through a tank at and it wouldn't even mess up his hair. How would, like, Sonya blade, a regular human, defeat superman? fuck you game.
Why? well (duh), because that seems to the main concept behind it. i mean look at the series this game will get characters from:
Early this month the guy in spot 3 left, and i immediately asked to move there, i was finally a bit happier since while not having anything to do, i could at least not catch cold wind from the back and had much less people looking at my screen, made me a lot more comfortable.
Demons are solitary and nomadic by nature, never staying in one place for long, usually. They are a warrior race, with astounding combat ability that would theoretically allow them to dominate the world, if they were so inclined to do so. It's normal for demons to engage in friendly sparring matches with eachother. Some of the other races look down on them for this barbaric activity.
