Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
Well, while I am disappointed that my question challenge wasn't answered (which is understandable, since it's more ABR related), I am quite pleased so see cameos from my characters, complete with speech patterns. :smallbiggrin:
As for this comic, I would like to say that of all the comics that were around when I was first a n00b on these boards, yours is the only one that hasn't died or moved on to it's own website. Your comic is the only glimpse we (conveniently) have for the history of fancomics. I really do respect how much you've stuck with this. Even if we don't comment as much or even critisize your story telling capabilities, you've still managed to stick with it. And you've given a lot of laughs and interesting storytelling. I, for one, really do appreciate it. :smallsmile:
Here's a...little token of my gratitude. Something I quickly threw together. I plan to make a much more detailed version later.
With longer runners like us (though I end my comics before they get nearly as long, but we both started at around the same time) who constantly update, we do get taken for granted, I think. But it's important that we don't let it get to us.
We're fancomic writers.
We write stories.
We create sheer universes from our bare imagination, make breathing characters live their lives in an epic journey or perish painfully with nothing but art programs just simply so people online can say "Wow. Good job. Interested in reading more".
It's what we do.
Sorry. I get a little overdramatic sometimes. :smallredface:

Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
Considering that i'm constantly (IRL) being accused of being a drama queen (What is a drama queen anyway? I mean, what's the insult's origins? Who or what was Drama Queen Zero?) I can say that I appreciate dramatization every now and then.
But anyways, it's good to hear Q. :smallsmile:
I tried tying your questions into the anniversary, but I can't control what my characters do or say. This comic's a lot less scripted than you think.
But for you Q, I already did kill you without magic. Claw attack from like...2 years ago. :smalltongue:
Anyways, bad news. Due to a little bit of sickness (I'm fine now) and not liking how the comic's turning out i've scrapped the half-finished next comic (too lazy to look up number) and am working on something else. Expect it this sunday, saturday if i'm lucky.

Oh well. Maybe Q will find some other way to take your title. Though I highly doubt it. :smalltongue:

Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
Good luck with that. :smallwink:
Anyways, even though I was worried I wouldn't have it by monday, here it is.
Comic 329 is up. I'd have it sooner, except it was slowed by Bulk, Complexity, Sickness, and a little bit of lag.

Very cool fight scene. What's a Clip?

I'm no expert on guns, but I'm pretty sure a clip carries the ammo on them. I could be wrong, though.

Correct. You win a clip.

So why wager them? :smallconfused:

Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
You get ammo. Ammo to kill people with.

Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
I had a VERY good idea for the name of the unestablished currency used by the Tau (And I absolutely REFUSE to use "credits") but I forgot it so I just thought "Hey, what would pass off as proxy currency in a base populated almost entirely by soldiers?" Truth be told, Tau pulse weapons don't use clips. -_-
Comic 330 is up. Even though the chapter is called "A Final Peace" this chapter's gonna have a LOT of fightin'. Time to push the limits on what a stick-figure fight can be. :smallbiggrin:

Comic 331 is up. Moar fighting!

Your questioning is heretical!

Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
Posting illegitimate links to TVTropes is heresy!
Lynyrd Skynyrd is heresy!
And not reading this comic is heresy!
Comic 332 is heresy!
Questions? Comments? Critique? Heresy?

Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
I could name a couple more things that are heresy... But linking to TvTropes would probably be one of the things to top my list too. Your brain can explode if you enter unprepared :smalleek:
Retardedspeak for the win! :smallbiggrin: As great as always :smallwink:
Also : Congrats for creating one of the weirdest characters I've ever seen :smalltongue: (I followed the link in your banner)

Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
Have been playing ME2 so that was an interesting crossover (from game to forums).
Also, Barrelroll?
-
Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
As you can see by the banner, we're full to bursting on players (Only half of 'em will probably be active by the end of next week though) so don't attempt to join....just yet.
Still, not reading this comic is one of the biggest heresies out there, next to not pressing Z or R twice to barrel roll.
Comic 333 is up. 24 panels I had a lot of fun making. Came out pretty well if I do say so myself. :smallcool:

Sometimes you just get a spectator wincing and fighting sound effects, other times you strange fight scenes where it's hard to see the choreography of a fight, and other times you get things like this that just defy explamation. I like to do my fighting where the choreography is obvious and every move flows into the character's next move in the next panel.
Comic 334 is up. More of the dogfighting.
On the plus side, a rarity has occurred, I know exactly what i'm doing for this entire chapter! All I can say is that next chapter you'll note how ironic this chapter's name really isn't. :smalltongue:

A Final Peace. The chapter names are in bold text in the Archive page. :smalltongue:

Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
Oh, and the White Scars have also been seen hangin' around, doin....white scar....things.
Comic 335 is up, advancing the plot...a little bit...I think. I dunno.

Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
Heh.
I suppose we'll find out who they are soon enough. Also, did I read it right that the base is at the north pole? Or did I imagine that?
-
Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
Odd. For some reason 333 won't work for me. I get a 503. Didn't yesterday as well.
-
Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
It's on an imageshack server. No surprise to me there.
-
Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
Any suggestions for image hosting sites that 1) don't shrink comics and 2) doesn't crash periodically? :smallsigh:
And Comic 334 is working for me fine and 333 gave me the 503 too.

Photobucket shouldn't shrink comics if the upload options are set to 1MB max.

Comic 333 on my CPU is 1.037 MB. :smallyuk:

Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
Could you try uploading it and showing it?
-
Re: Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!
I can try one thing: I recall I can't remember when or why but when I open a comic in MSPaint and save it in there, it shrinks the file size...by a lot.
One sec...done.
