Broken - 09/17/05 - 12:00 AM

Okay, I've finally got the comics ready. All three of them. Here's the first, second, and third. You'll notice that, in addition to actually making the comics, I also set up little individual pages for each one. No more linking directly to the images. Also, the last comic has color. It's very pretty.

Anyway, I was planning on releasing the comics gradually throughout the week, but some problems came up and I couldn't really work on them. Well I could have, I guess, but it would have been hard and painful. So to make up for the lack of activity over the last several days, I decided to release them all at once. I know that's not the best way to do things, but I also wanted to get them up before Meltdown comes back. He "granted" me the freedom to create these things while he's away this week, and damn it, I'm using that freedom.

Because Meltdown was uninvolved in the creation of these particular comics, you may find that they suck in a way different from what you're used to. It's only temporary. When Meltdown comes back, the comics will once again be labors of our combined talentlessness.

Oh, and we still do non-comic stuff too. Or at least I do. Or want to. I haven't deluded myself into thinking that we can survive on web comics alone. Not as long as I'm using Paint, anyway.

Go look at the March 2004 archives, jackass. That's when we renovated and it proves nothing. Except, of course, for the fact that I had to fix all of the links by myself because you were gone. You may have managed a minute of work here and there prior to your vacation, but I did most of it. I also kicked the whole thing off by reorganizing the archives. You just saw what I did and copied me.

Anyway, I'm taking the numbers off my name. They were just decorations I put there for when I was using it as an AOL screen name. They're no longer needed.

Also, I think Meltdown's gone for the week (again). That's what he said anyway. Actually, he said "MIA." Like he's some kind of soldier or something. Can you believe that?

Anyway, he thinks I should make a comic while he's gone, and I probably will. I've got three in my head, two of which I've already scripted. So we'll see.

Why am I up?

Nothing good, I assure you.

You are the fattest liar. The folder organization was MY idea, and our archives blatantly prooves it! You bitched for years!

I started the talk on this website, and have no wavered from my mode of speech. If anyone is a biter, it's you. You're like a denture ward. All biting, no power. And you're retarded and slow, like the old people you so dearly love.

Yeah, but before you made this background you wanted a light gray one. It was your first choice. I talked you out of it, thank god. The alternative obviously isn't a whole lot better, but it is at least viewable.

Green text? That would've been great if your goal was to blind everyone who tried to read our site. You're even more insane than I thought.

I guess by "visually and comprehensibly attractive" you mean the parts of the site where I wasn't able to limit your mindless excesses. Fine, I'll give you that. As for actual content, everything good was my idea. Tell me again which of those is more important. And don't forget that the last reworking of our site was done by me. The one where our folders were rearranged to be far more managable.

It's good to see you're quoting yourself from a time when you actually had your own personality. Hopefully this means you'll stop ripping off my style like you've been doing for the last two years.

What the crap are you babbling on about?

I made this background, and it was my idea. I wanted a light edge color on the boxes, which by the way were also my idea. I had originally wnated to coordinate; green writing for the logo and green on the boxes (and green for the text). It's create a bright green on a dark color that we could use.

You had to disagree, and so we wound up with this hodgepodge of crap color scheme.

Basically everything visually and comprehensibly attractive on this site has been my idea.

Since we've also been awesome for a long time, I decided to quote myself from awhile ago:
"God is my bitch."
It's as true today as it was then. And also, I forgot what a chumpy turd-eater Broken was and continues to be. He's developed into a strapping young ass-hat.

It's not perfect. This isn't even what you originally wanted. It was a compromise. You wanted a light gray background and yellow borders.

And when I told you to inspire me, I didn't mean here. I meant for something else I'm working on. I've already got enough inspiration for more comics.

Our links section is back and there's a link in there. I've also once again achieved mild employment. I'm going to go be sick now.

RealityMeltdown - 09/06/05 - 10:15 PM

Since it seemed to work so well in inspiring Broken last update, I drew you all another picture:

This just happened to be sitting across my room, about eye level.

These names are all attached. no changing them now. If you want to change your name, undoubtably to something unbearable like Captain Rainbow Bo Bo Nick Nack, fine. I refuse to support it. Or changing the site. At all. It's perfect the way it is.

I may buy an XBox.

Addedum

Check this.

We finally managed to go a full month without updating. That's a new low for us, I'm proud to announce.

Luckily, Meltdown's little doodling in his last update inspired me to resuscitate our web comic again. We were going to do it anyway, but that gave me the jolt I needed to get things going. This one concludes our Son of God trilogy. Meltdown thought up the concept, I did everything else. My Flash trial expired long ago, so I'm back to using Paint. It does kind of look like shit, but so do most comics when they're just starting out. The early Superman comics looked like shit too. Am I saying our comic will be the next Superman? Yeah, probably. You need ambition if you want to survive in this industry.

What else? I think we should revamp our website. Not so much the graphics (except for that cheesy skull background), but the names. These names used to be okay, but now they're an embarrassment. Reality Meltdown? What the fuck is that? Broken X23? Please.

And Cerebral Hemorrhage? If anyone ever wanted to search for our site, they'd never be able to find it amidst the millions of pages dedicated to real cerebral hemorrhages. We need to change that.

Let me tell you all a story.

I have an addiction. Actually, I probably have several. I am addicted to...
Dr Pepper.

Yes, it's a common beverage found in most decent, god-fearing restaurants. And I need it. I just killed my 24 pack, and lets say I'm having withdrawls. Seriously. I need about 3 or 4 to get through the average day. Thats not even counting the Dr Pepper I drink while I eat out. Which is nearly every meal.
I got a cut a few days ago and my blood was not only a much deeper red, it was vaguely sticky.

Anyway, there is this soda machine at work. And obviously, I was getting the shakes from being away from my beverage of choice for too long. So I went out and put my very wrinkled dollar into the machine; a miracle unto itself. Normally when it gyps me, it simply doesn't tell me when it's out of Dr Pepper. It wont light up, or change when you hit the button. Vainly I try to ascertain if I ought to even spend my money. And today, it mocked me.

Ha ha! It laughed. It ate my dollar, and made the familiar clunking sound of a soda. But no, instead it ate my precious Dr Pepper into it's vile mechanical bowels. Forever lost to the world. I kicked it, pushed the side. Kicked it again. But no, the machine's vile metal teeth were firmly clamped upon my drink. I stormed off, angry.

I fucking needed that soda.
