It's been quiet here! Sorry about that. I haven't been completely twiddling my thumbs, it's just most of the things on my project list are comics and they take three million years for me to finish. I wish I was faster at this. I *am* getting faster, slowly (heh), I think.

Anyway, that's all I really have to say. Imma put something up in a bit, only a static image (they are WAY easier to produce, needless to say, being a single frame) but just while other things are making their way through the system.

Unrelated: WHO IS EXCITED FOR GDC NEXT WEEK? VR ALL THE THINGS. Nvidia? Valve? Oculus? Sony? Who else, I know I'm forgetting... My DK2 is gonna feel pretty jelly by the end of the week, I think. I really hope some consumer stuff ships this year, the wait is killing me. Eliteangerous in combination with an HMD has basically ruined games for me, it's just incredible and I want MORE.

Also unrelated: Homeworld.... HOMEWORLD.... REMASTERED... ON STEAM. 

Not a bad week actually!

...Is anyone else not really feeling it this year?  

Massive can't-be-arsed vibes over here. We haven't even put up the tree yet. It's a cheap plastic thing we blagged from Tescos a hundred years ago and looks absolutely moth-eaten and hilariously pathetic.

Apart from hanging out with the family, all I'm looking forward to is the bloody sleep. More than a week of not necessarily having to get up at 6:30 in the morning... oh, I can't wait... all that unconsciousness is gonna be awesome.

OH GOD THE PRESSURE

HNNNNG

Must.. post... things....

Every now and then I get find of one of my comics being translated into another language. Which is awesome - thanks so much to the people putting all that time and effort into help share this stuff around!! You are all amazing.

However, I realise it's a pain in the arse to do, stripping out all the old text and putting the new stuff in. Very time consuming! So I've been meaning to release some "blank" versions of my comics for a while so that if people want to share them in their languages it's a little easier for them. 

So after yet another request for blank strips, I've finally gone and made them! took me long enough! These are flat PNG's like the normal comics, but of course without any text (empty speech bubbles, etc) so super easy to drop your own stuff on top.

If you'd like to translate any of my stuff, then firstly, thank you very much and I'm really grateful you'd like to translate. Secondly, please drop me a note letting me know what comics you want and I'll get you the blank versions!

I only have a few requests for any translated comic:

1) Please let me know the target language (I'd just love to know because it's interesting!)

2) Each comic has a bit of blank space at the very bottom, in the middle of my username/URL and the comic title. Please feel free to pop a "translated by" message and credit yourself in there somewhere!

3) Please let me know where you post the comic. Again I really don't mind where you're posting them, I'd just love to see where these end up going!

4) Please send me a copy! (Not necessary if I can save it from a website via request 3 above) Again, just so I can collect them for the sake of awesomeness. I don't plan on hosting them anywhere at this stage, but I suppose they could go in folders here or something if you had nowhere to stash them yourself.


Bonus Pepsi, because why not:

Ever rolled your car three times? I haven't, but my brother apparently thought he'd have a go. Lost it round a corner (aqua-planed down a hill in the turn, there was a blocked drain and loads of water on the road, although you can't see that area in the pics), caught the car on the verge, flipped it and rolled three times before landing on the roof.













Other drivers quickly found him and pulled him out (the seatbelt had locked shut and he was unable to escape) and he walked away with barely a scratch... unless you count smashing the driver door window with his face.

Upside: he's alive, he's OK, not even concussed according to the guys in the ambulance. Police aren't pressing charges for dangerous driving or whatever it is they sometimes do because they evaluated he wasn't driving like an idiot, just unlucky on a bad stretch of road.

Downside: Rolled my fucking car three times. Well.. it used to be mine. We've had that car for 8 years now, and everyone thought it was an excellent little car. Which it clearly was, since it saved his life. I'm going to miss it though. Oh well, not his fault, sometimes the road catches you by surprise, a guy on the MG forums had the exact same kind of accident today (unexpected aquaplaning) and smashed his poor MG to pieces, but he walked away too. Just a bad day for driving I guess.

And so, the family's bad luck with cars continues.
