I also made a comic with me in it, but not an ABR comic.

Damn, I wish I can figure out my new camera. I realize that claiming to be an old man without photo evidence makes me look like a bit of a jackass, dosen't it?

Firstly, MBEG is Medium Bad Evil Guy/Girl, and therefore ranks lower than BBEG, making you something like a Huge Bad Evil Guy.

I thought M is for Mega.

And there is no reason why catalyst cannot get characters enslaved (with the creator of the character willing.)


Anyway I am SAFE from Vulion, actually I challenge him to gender-bend boomwolf. its impossible.

MY current wolf avatar is jest because its more of a general avatar. but the ABR one is the one that matters.

(Not that I see how you can bend a wolf? they look rather the same...)

And rand-every Hebrew speaker can make the connection, I did too. I think its Hebrew at least.

Anyway, my name is the wierdest of the bunch. "Yoash Barak"
(Barak is a LAST name...)
Nobody spells it right, although it should be pretty darn easy.

My name is Quin Azevedo (get it? I'm Q because I'm Quin. :smallbiggrin:) and NOBODY gets that right either.

Quin is easy enough, but whenever somebody reads "Azevedo", you wouldn't believe some of the mispronunciations. Some of them include "Oz-EEEV-o", "AazEh-VAZEEEzooo" and even "A-RAT-O-Va-EVVVVZA-Zo." :smallannoyed:

Almost no-one in my lifetime has pronounced it correctly without aid, I've heard everything from Moore to Morgue-han to Mahaun.

I figured it was Morn. But I suppose that's partly due to my own name. There's been about three people I've met who, given the spelling, pronounced it correctly or, given the pronunciation, spelt it correctly. And it's pretty much phonetic, if German.

My name is Quin Azevedo (get it? I'm Q because I'm Quin. :smallbiggrin:) and NOBODY gets that right either.

So, how DO you pronounce that? Azzer-wade-oh?

JasonDoomsblade

Just one more question, is your current ABR form a cyborg?

As long as we're giving out names mine is Dominik Zebala. People pronounce it pretty much as they see it, though the Polish pronunciation is more like doe-mee-neek, zeng-ba-la. I usually go with the English pronounciations.

We've got Dominik Zebala, a Rylott, Quin Azevado, Yoash Barak... even Chris Clarke has a superhero feel.

Also, I pronounced Maughan as Monn, like Somerset Maugham with an N.

You know, when I was coming up with an idea for most of my most recent comic (meaning all but the last frame), I was actually thinking about having it be canon and replacing Q and Nameless with TnD. I decided not to do that, and TnD starts a new page 11 minutes after I get mine up.:smallannoyed:

[hr]Notes on My current avi (god of fate)
The current avi is not actually participating except to help people who have had the plot move on without them and want to find out where people are without seeming to Omnipotent (I.E. he wont be in cannon except to hint to people where they might want to go but not why)

Wreckingrocc
2008-09-20, 06:35 PM

You already tried to kill somebody (vampire), and I think you said something about killing other people (I would have looked it up if I hadn't decided to target Q instead).

I haven't interacted with any major characters (except vamp, who mysteriosly dissapeared), and I haven't really done anything yet.

Naw, vamp's fine. I'll post a single frame at the end of my next comic to show that she's not dead and why. I'm not actually trying to kill people. For all you know, TnD's mission could involve killing an NPC. I would never actually kill somebody unless they announced that they were leaving ABR and wanted their character to die and/or they gave me specific permission (In which case they would later be ressurrected).

So wait, what year generally relative to Earth does ABR fit into? I've seen time travel and spaceships, yet also horses and carriages. I'm thinking it looks around 1600's with other more advanced planes spilling technology in. Or is it more or less advanced? The Pikalite city is pretty high tech... Hmmm....

Lyinginbedmon
2008-09-20, 09:53 PM
It varies by country, some are still in the dark ages, others have focused on industry and such. Notice that the high-tech nations are also usually very secluded and isolationist.

Anything Sovice is extraterrestrial and some artefacts are left over from before the Great Cataclysm and the Age of Technology (Like Fort Longcat).

Pretty much everything in the Citadel is magic-based and developed or acquired by the Exersus Resistance.

Scary thing is, this shows off some weapon I planned but didn't use yet. (the glove on the right hand has a chain function similar to the hand you jest drew...except it does not sever the actual hand.)
Yet no iPod thingy is required. (controls are hidden inside the glove.)

Bleh. Word of warning for all ABRers. Never poke around in your computer BIOS unless you're absolutely sure of what you're doing. When trying to overclock my processor, I somehow corrupted the BIOS in such a way that the computer stopped sending out video signals.
Then when I went to sleep, the Power Pack burnt itself out. Despite the computer being turned off.

So I ended up moving my entire motherboard to a different computer with a power pack that only provides about 2/3s of the power the last one did, and hence could go at any time, and having to figure out how to manually restore BIOS defaults.

Luckily my hard dirve survived, so comic should be up soon.

Both photoshop and illustrator is available for OS X. In fact, everything you can do on a PC you can do on a mac. Gaming is a little problematic, but there are VMs and windows emulators, as well as boot camp (natively dualbooting windows on an apple-made computer).

They are really wonderful computers, and OS X is by far the best OS I've ever used, but they are ridiculously expensive.

...And they're confusing as hell to navigate through. Setting up my wireless network always takes at least 30 mins, even to reboot it.... Windows takes about 30 seconds.... Plus, Macs have all their program files everywhere.... And have awful auto-anti virus softeware (deleted X11, cannot download a new one because mac thinks we still have it).

If you were doing what I think you were doing...that's an entirely new use of a computer to me.

Bah! It's just a typo, anything else is just your dirty imagination.

What I don't understand it why they give you the option to increase the processor's clock speed, if all it does is kill it.:smallannoyed:

I used to have a macbook.

Both photoshop and illustrator is available for OS X. In fact, everything you can do on a PC you can do on a mac. Gaming is a little problematic, but there are VMs and windows emulators, as well as boot camp (natively dualbooting windows on an apple-made computer).

They are really wonderful computers, and OS X is by far the best OS I've ever used, but they are ridiculously expensive.

Yeah, appart from tha fact that these computers have one one button on the mouse and you cant even scroll down... I mean, what the hell? :smallannoyed:

Anyway, I'm back to my PC *hugglez*

You hold the Cmd button and then click. It acts as the right mouse button. And you just use the arrows keys to scroll down.

Just a bit of info the next time ur on a Mac.

Please, please, don't call it a PC. It's a computer, it's the stupidest thing in ICT to call it a PC. :smallannoyed:

So who's making the next thread? I know someone called it.

Ya but that's lame. What about people who have only one arm? They'll have to press their nose on the freakin keyboard everytime they want to do something.

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!!!! :smallyuk:

I'm suddenly having flashbacks to an old WW2 poem...

Suffice it to say, you don't need to be one-armed to worry about one-armed folk.

Also, Threeshades may or may not have less than two arms.

Well the good news is, you arn't obligated to buy a Mac. Technology has given you choice, between the Pc and the Mac. I however, went one step further and bought both. :smalltongue:

Say wha? What's wrong with the term PC?

There are just so many things wrong with "PC" instead of "Computer", it's like saying "America" when you mean "The USA". It's inaccurate and it bugs the heck out of everyone that knows the difference.

One of the most basic problems with PC is that it's used all too commonly to refer to any non-Mac computer. But "personal computer" (PC) means ANY computer used by anyone that doesn't fill a campus building or such, it was first used to differentiate home and office computers from things more like Colossus. The term PC encompasses not just Microsoft computers but Macs as well.

PC is a perfectly good term... it's just it could still mean a Macintosh product, since 'Personal Computer' doesn't automatically mean it's running Windows (or Linux...but shhh).

BUUUUT LYING.... 'Computer' has the same problem (except for the home/work differentiation). A Mac is still a computer. :smalltongue:

I propose we call all computers running Windows 'Dave' and those running Linux 'penguins'

JOB DONE.

Yes, I figured that out after some time.

But why? What's the point? Why make it more difficult? What for? Why not just have two buttons.
However, it is very good for movie edditing...

@Lying: Computer is the genral term for all type's of computer.

Then you get the three makes, Mac, PC (which is ugenerally used for microsopht) and another one that everyone seems to hate but I forget the name.

Technically a calculator is a computer.

No I have 6 of them, but I still feel with those people who are not as blessed as I am. Unlike all those Mac users and makers, those evil bastards :smallmad:
