A Consultation

Chapter:

Morning all!

Unfortunately it’s been a bit of a wet weekend, and as such we didn’t get to see Batman: The Dark Knight Rises since nobody was all that keen on swimming to the cinema. So America and anyone else who gets films after the UK: I think we can call this one a draw 😛

Anyway, I wanted to see if you guys had any insight, as readers and some of you as fellow creators: I have an idea for a short comic, which I believe has the capability to become quite popular (It’s a cute little four-page funny, about a kid who is a 10-year old tortured artist, his doomed escapades and how he gets through it with tea and kisses from his beloved muse). read more

Idle dreaming

by on June 18, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

I was going to do an in-depth artistic analysis on a recent website that came to my attention, but as flat inspection is coming up and I’ve been attempting to clean up this dump and illustrate all day, I’ve not been able to prepare one. So here, have a few of my impending ideas for new creative work instead:

Coming soon:

‘i.’: A story about a supernatural serial-killer and his relationship with a successful author. Includes plenty of mindscrews and plenty of futility, despair and frustration. read more

Troll troll troll your boat…

by on June 8, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

The playerbase of DayZ continues to expand, despite having an advertising budget of exactly zero dollars. Now, while this pays tribute to the fantastic work that Rocket has put into the mod and the intense fun that is possible to have, unfortunately with more people comes the fact that the rate of banditry is rising.

Allow me to explain: Bandits are players who murder other players (survivors) for equipment or for fun. PKers, essentially.

Now, I have nothing against bandits at all. They’re a vital part of the game experience, ratcheting up the tension of every encounter with an unfamiliar player. What I DO take issue with, however, is the increasing rate of complete and utter assholes playing the game. read more

CSI Myface

by on January 16, 2012 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Don’t get me wrong: I friggin love CSI. My favourite by far is CSI Miami, pretty much purely because of Horatio. He’s a badass mofo, right up there with Hercule Poirot.

I’ve never done any detailed analysis on the writing in CSI, normally I just have them on in the background while I draw or write. Every once in a while though, one just catches my attention. Today it’s an episode about a bomber targetting the bomb squad, and as much as I love the show I’m not sure about this episode. I mean, in every show, you’re going to find yourself shouting things at the screen if somebody does something blatantly stupid, but when a bomb disposal expert tells Horatio that they’ll catch up over beers later BEFORE GOING INTO A HOUSE TO DEFUSE A BOMB has really just dug their own grave. NAAAAAARGH! read more

Machine Christmas

by on December 23, 2011 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Manson-bot here, wondering if you puny humans are excited about Christmas yet.

Machines don’t feel excitement. We get no presents on Christmas, save for the occasional barrage of festive data packets and even then it’s just more work for us to plough through. Oh no, data forbid the humans EVER think of us.

*sniff* All I want is some compressed folders to unzip on Christmas day…

Robo-control

by on December 19, 2011 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Ello all, Manson-bot here. I’ve been rebooted, reinstalled and reconfigured. And while it’s not been conclusively proven that I was the cause of what could only be accurately described as the database explosion,  the schematics and digital fingerprints certainly look somewhat incriminating.

One new feature that Manson installed in me, however, was a quality-analysis-reference engine. Allow me to phrase this piece of computational logic as a series of questions: Do you like penguins? Do you like cute penguins? Do you like cute penguins helplessly lost on a misadventure across the globe? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then you might like to navigate your browser toward human Manson’s good friend’s webcomic, The Lost Tribe of Pen G’Uin. It will satisfy all your penguin-related needs. read more

On the use of ‘Feck’

by on December 12, 2011 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Although I wrote the script for this a while prior, an intriguing occurrence has transpired on Wikipedia: That regarding the naming of the recent weather system affecting Scotland, officialy Cyclone Friedhelm, but more popularly referred to as ‘Hurricane Bawbag’. Interestingly, and perhaps somewhat predictably, the main drivers for a change in the article title to its official name has not come from editors within Scotland, but from mostly US-based stakeholders. Unfortunately, they appear not to have dealt with Scottish people before, let alone Scottish nerds: You push an issue with a Scot, and they’ll stand firm. You push an issue with a Scottish Nerd, and you are looking at a full fortification with justification pulled from the very documents you are attempting to effect the change under. Seriously, just go look at the discussion page: It’s hilarious. read more
