It’s the only way to get real-ultimate-ending. Also, your combos are worth more.

Most games I play on Normal mode. I figure the game developers are experts at this interactive entertainment razzmatazz, so they’ve finely tuned the difficulty for maximal enjoyment. Except The World Ends With You; that game had a sliding difficulty/drop-rate, so I always jammed that down to get the highest drop rates.

I think RJ’s going to be juuuuuust fine.

Hi there fillies and gentlecolts. This is the final project for that cartooning course I was taking. The project: one panel comic, cubic room with single point perspective, three characters, and the obligatory caption “Let’s make sure that we never do this again.”

This idea narrowly beat the “stripper cake mishap” idea. Thinking about it now, I don’t know why.

Hello there sports racers. I drew about this a month ago as part of a “Draw Something Every Day!” challenge of March. I crafted this image to appeal to that slice of the Venn diagram at the intersection between Super Mario RPG fans, Rosen Maiden fans, and those who appreciate a ribald jest.

Here’s something you can do if your place has a casual dress code: Business Fridays. On Fridays, wear a tie and dress shirt, wear a three-piece suit, whatever. Go as Mad Men as you can, except maybe without the drinking and smoking (unless you and your workplace is cool with that.) The important part: do this forever. This way, you’ll always have an excuse to wear a tie on Fridays.

Also, schedule job interviews on Fridays.

This is Alex’s new art style. Pretty hot eh? I guess all those drawing classes have paid off.

I’m in Hong Kong right now. Trying to get rich or die trying. I’ll update you all as more develops.

Sorry for the lack of post lately stuff has gotten crazzzzzy.

I’ve been busy not drawing comics. What I have been doing is taking a Cartooning course. Here is an exercise in designing a protagonist (left), foil (centre on the top row; rotations on centre row), and an antagonist (right of the top row; rotations on bottom row).

What you might not know is that my sister is a professional artist, so for my birthday she chewed me out on how terrible my art is. Happy Birthday to me.

Golden star to who ever notices the difference in this comic.

Hint: What do you tap?

Cooking with a gas stove is super fast, it is also super dangerous. Winnie and I were cooking and the cloth she was using to hold the pot caught fire. We put the cloth out in the sink and threw the charred remains into the garbage can. We discussed how we should be more careful next time by putting the cloth further away from the flame.

We weren’t cooking for more than a minute after before Winnie’s second cloth caught on fire. What was weird was this time her cloth was very far from the flames. We put that one out as well, and turned down the heat this time.

Shortly after we started cooking again, the cloth I was using to hold the all iron pot was starting to burn. Luckily, I noticed the charring of the cloth started to become a flame.

The lesson. TURN DOWN THE HEAT WHEN COOKING WITH GAS.

On the bright side, last class our instructor chief had his cloth catch on fire. So it seems that it’s a common problem. Now I know how people have kitchen fires…

Sorry for the late post, not feeling well last few days. Cold or flu…

I find myself committing less and less to memory. I feel that because I have google on my iphone, I can always just look things up when I need it. Though googling everything has become very convenient, I feel I am less willing to take chances on things. Resorting to “Let’s google this first” ever time I encounter something that needs to be done that is outside my normal activity. What to do when the drain is clogged? Where are the wings cheap tonight? Who is NPH?

I can see this becoming a problem in the long run. What if we all start googling everything before we do anything. Would this not take away the creativity or chances of making mistakes from our lives? To take this to the extreme, how are we ever going to come up with a new recipes for cooking if all we need to do is google for the answer?

I’m finding with so much content to consume, I’m resorting to reading only headlines or watching youtube videos. I don’t even play some games anymore as my attention span has gotten so sort, I would rather just go on youtube and look up lets play a game, the beginning bits and the final boss encounters. That way I get all the enjoyment story line without having to do the work. I mean who the heck has time to play “kingdom of amalur” when you can just watch it played for you and skip all the bs farming?

I feel the internet is ultimately good, as it allows ideas to be shared instantly. The only risk is would be if we become so dependent on it for general knowledge, we are reduced to banging rocks together when it is taken away suddenly. The other risk is it totally desensitizing us to real world experiences (like who the heck want to deal with travel when you can google maps everything).
