Oh no! Where has Elphie gone?! You'll just have to come back on Wednesday to find out!
Anyway, no real news today. Patiently waiting to see Sucker Punch, the new Three Musketeers movie, Insidious, and Captain America...amongst others that are currently escaping my still sleepy brain.
It continues to be a long week at my day job, but I pride myself on not letting anything stand in the way of the strip going up on time. So far at least. Enjoy! And see ya again on Sunday!
In case you are too young or just missed out on it, GIGO was one of the oldest forms of tech speak. It stands for Garbage In Garbage Out. The newcomers to the front would be things like ASL, XP, Dots, DPS, DLC, and NSFW. These useful little acronyms have ushered in an entire generation too lazy or too cool to type out complete words. Texting and Twitter are the greatest enablers of this language idiocy. But I digress.
Again, TRUE FREAKING STORY! On the way home from BFE (HA there's another one for you) Arkansas, there he was! Little ginger kid sitting on the side the road down the hill from a house. He looked decidedly not happy about something and, me being me, this led to a conversation quite similar to the one chronicled above.
I know.
I have issues.
Lots of them.
So you know how you can only fit so much into one text before your phone automatically starts dividing it into smaller ones? Well, FOUR SCREENS OF TEXT MESSAGE were on my phone the other night about how HM is going to kick off at any minute. The Brit had a panic attack about him. /facepalm
Bell Mania is apparently a real condition. HM did the research on that one. And NO. He isn't about to drop dead. He fears my ire too much for that shit.
There's a special nod to one of my favorite local artist who happens to be one half of the two part genius involved in Captain Benjamina's Salvage Emporium. The Poison Shroom from Mario: The Lost Levels is featured in the strip this week and a matching painting by aforementioned painter genius hangs on our wall above our fireplace. It was commissioned by HM for my Christmas gift.
Alright. That's it. Enjoy the strip. Keep reading. Keep an eye out for some new things on the horizon and keep sharing!
Well we figured we had introduced all the other members of our little family so it was high time we got around to introducing the third child, Lexi Belle. She is our animal shelter adoption kitty and she will be two years old in May.
Yes, she is a spaz and likes to attack my head.
And, yes, Deadly Premonition is just awful enough to spawn some sort of demon/curse from its very case. We are troopers when it comes to games and if we rent it we will at least tough it out to the end because we spent the money on it. We slogged through Silent Hill: Shattered Dreams and that was definitely a low point in that particular franchise. But Deadly Premonition?
Hell no. We had to stop playing that piece of garbage for six hours and got exactly nowhere in the story and managed achievment. Just trust me on this and don't attempt to find out for yourselves. Alright, it's been a long weekend celebrating St. Patty's and our friend's birthday all in one night. So I am going to bed early! LATER!
Ah to go to PAX. That is the dream. We don't really care if it is PAX Prime or PAX East, but PAX East was just this past weekend and no longer even a remote option. It being in the past and us not owning a Delorian with a flux capacitor.
Let's see, Spook seems to have found other clothes in his closet and is sporting the Voodoo shirt which can be found in our store. Battie is back in standard gear.
Oh and we are getting ready to introduce the last member of our little family so keep reading! And keep sharing!
What can I say? We were dramatically unimpressed with that game. We went into it thinking "HOLY SHIT! This is gonna be the most awesome splatter kill kill game ever!"
*Shakes head in regret*
It was not. The most entertaining thing about Bulletstorm were the hilarious names for those "skill shots" that were near to impossible to achieve. And even if those skill shots were more achievable from skill rather than dumb blind rotting luck, the game simply didn't have enough meat on it's proverbial bones to be the "OH MY GAWD FANTASTIC!" that we were promised.
Other than that, some new drawing. Some new setting. Feedback?
So, new things all over the place huh? New layout for the panels. Trying something new with my drawing. Still have that shiny new store that would love to have people come buy things from it!
Speaking of the store, if there is a particular strip, character, phrase or something from Nerdy Goth Says What? that you would like to suggest for an item, email me at nerdygothsayswhat@gmail.com and I will see what I can do.
Would love to get some feedback from you guys on the new stuff we have going on. A few more new things are in the works for Nerdy Goth Says What? but we will keep the lid on those for now. Enjoy!
OH! And don't worry...the real faps.com is a home and business security website. ;)
Oh you fascinatingly ludicrous Limey bastard.
The man can barely operate Facebook beyond logging in and posting a status. He spent several minutes trying to figure out how to answer an iPhone call. He is all thumbs with an xbox controller. He bought a fancy shmancy Droid phone that he couldn't figure out how to read text messages on for several days.
But he spouts off this obscure digital media reference as though it were his daily paper! WTF?!
OH and he played this ridiculously amped up shaman on World of Warcraft (before Cataclysm nerfed all the casters anyway). @_@
The boy is a regular idiot savant of technology.
Okay. Maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration, but it isn't that far off.
He saw this achievement video on Achievement Hunter and once failure was put before him, he has been dedicated to proving himself via this one achievement.
I swear, it's as though he cannot believe himself a capable gamer if he cannot gain this cheevo.
I think it may have insulted his mother.
THAT is the level of dedication....shit. He is at it AGAIN!!! These are those moments when I am glad I have a day job.
Bless him, though, for figuring out how to play real music over the game audio. I was sick to death of hearing Carter tell us to get to Pillar of Autumn over and over and over again.
Wish him luck folks. This could take a while.
p.s. Don't forget to check out the store!!
HOLY SHIT! Ladies and Gentlemen, HE DID IT!! As I sat here typing this post, he finally got that damn achievement, "If they came to hear me beg"!!
Leave some props for a cheeve well earned and I am going to go get ready for the aforementioned day job.
