Watch the Voltron

Phil forgot where our site was located!

_Bryan

-p

My pen ran out of ink about 2 minutes in.  Phil is in Ohio, land of the Cleveland Browns and some country called Kenyon.

The King is back.  And it's not Elvis.

Phil is a little busy at the moment with his new job (I hope!) or he's at the MLG festival still.

Bryan is making big bucks now doing HR shit, so drinks are on him! Just go into any back and be like "put it on Bryan's tab."

Wooowooowooo

Try not to ever rip your calf in half and then get food poisoning in one day.  It makes comics late.
_Bryan

OH noes

Sorry, life has caught up again with extreme business. We'll have a totally new comic up on Saturday. In fact.. how about TWO comics on Saturday night?!!?!
_Bryan

PS Here's a sample script Phil sent me:

frame one: brad is shirtless

frame two: duncan is a loser

frame three: brad is angry

frame four : duncan is scared

just throw some curse words and "dude!" in there

NOOO! That's our template! Now anyone can make a Dude-les comic! You fool!!

Panel 1:

Zuckerberg: AAAH How did I lose?

Ka-Blamurai: I am rubber...and you bitch, you're glue.

Panel 2:

Duncan: I can't read this! How can a rubber sword reflect lightning?

Brad: Skip ahead then!

Panel 3:

Vice President Hotpants: Please Ka-Blamurai, if you don't make love to my equally hot sister who is also the President of the United States, she'll die!

Ka-Blamurai: Don't worry Madame Vice President, I may be from Feudal Japan but I would do anything to save this country.

Panel 4:
Brad: So what do you think?
Duncan: Is Ka-Blamurai going to have a threesome with these President twins?
Brad: Yes
Duncane: Nice


I did the best I could with what materials I have. Well not really. Going to buy Phil some "put less dialog in these balloons" books
-Bryan

Well it would've been easy to fix if you had mentioned it before you started drawing the strip. By hand. In permanent ink!

Hiatus

On hiatus yet again
what kind of sob devises this:

Hello Old Friend

Zuck (as Phil calls him) is pretty believable as some kind of giant media mogul villain Sith Lord.

_Bryan

Just so everyone knows, this is only part one of Ka-blamurai's epic struggle. Nobody need lose sleep thinking that they'll never know his fate. All will be revealed shortly! =P

Change of Heart...

No comic this week sadly. Job hunting has consumed Bryan's soul it seems. It happens, I can testify to that.

In more exciting news, I've come around to the new generation of Pokemon. Playing through Pokemon Black has taught me that there are actually a fair amount of cool 'mons to make up for the piles of garbage (yes, there are literally two garbage pokemon). The biggest problem is that a lot of the 'mons and elements of the game itself are derivative of previous iterations. Using the two poison-type garbage pokemon as examples, how are they different from Grimer/Muk? Yeah sure they have different moves, but what do they add to the Pokemon race? They are just two more pollution-themed pokemon. There are a lot of different bird pokemon, but for the most part they are all based on different types of birds (e.g., seagulls, pigeons, sparrows, ducks, pheasants). Yes, there is one basic bird-type found at the beginning of every game, but that's part of the derivation I'm talking about.

Pokemon games are formulaic, and let's face it, it's an awesome formula. However, they're running out of ways to mix up the different types into eight different gyms. B/W's spin is that each gym has a fun way of moving you around as you advance towards the gym leader. Works alright and shows off the 3Dness just fine. But it's just not enough. Hopefully if Game Freak wants to stick with the "new world each game with eight new gyms" then they'll use the 3DS's horsepower to come up with: 1) Sprites that aren't fucking pixellated (unrelated but I HATE it!) and 2) Some more creative and challenging pokemon battles! Seriously! Mono-type pokemon teams haven't been challenging since R/B when you picked Charmander and had to use him against Brock!

In the end though what we all want is for Pokemon to thrill us like it used to. We're all just searching for our own Shiny Ponyta, wherever it may be...

P.S. Fucking Sweet Video:

So why do we celebrate the expulsion of snakes from Ireland by drinking pints? Shouldn't we be eating boa constrictors or something?

_Bryan

Back from an exhausting PAX! And before anyone says "OMG! Penny Arcade's strip is about a man Chun-li," I looked at their picture, and it was a different guy dressed up as Chun-li. That's right, there were TWO Man-lis at PAX. Doesn't everyone feel like they missed out now? =P

-p

It's Black It's White

Ben Stiller gets yelled at a lot in Greenberg.

_Bryan

PS Phil is busy enforcing beat downs on people at PAX.  Go to PAX and say hi to him!

Not a good season

addicted to a childrens' show at the moment....from japan

_Bryan

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is the Minecraft of fighting games. If you can imagine a combo wherein Wolverine draws the opponent in by flashing his hairy chest, captain america leaps in and kicks them in the groin, and then MODOK flies over and takes a dump on their face*, you can do it. It's a beautiful thing.

-p

*MODOK does not have any dump-taking moves...yet...

Wabbit Season

_Bryan

Gitchyo arcade sticks out! MvC3 is coming!

Also, the guest appearance by Fred Flintstone in panel 3 cost us all of our rainy day money, so enjoy it!

False Grit

I like the classy New Yorker-esque style that accompanies our classy setting. Also Brad's arm is so jacked it has two biceps. What can i say? The man's a specimen...

Excited for the new Pokemon?

You will be after you see this!

Not exactly the most appropriate endorsement for Pokemon, but it's good to know that these games can attract a more mature audience. =P

Sorry Bros
