Well, hello there!

I almost  have the next comic done.  The last panel is really giving me some trouble.  I just need to think about it for a bit.  I've updated my profile a little bit as well for those who read this blog and want to know a little more about me.  If you have any questions please feel free to post a comment and I'll respone usually on the same day.

GREAT NEWS!  FFXIV is launching in 1 week.  That is if you bought the collectors edition.  It looks like it's going to be a little rough at first but I think after a few patches, probably only 1 or 2, things should run very smooth.  Did you guys hear about the fatigue system for that game?  Yep apparently you can only grind one class/job for 8 hours.  You can switch to another class and grind that for 8 hours.  It's an interesting system and I'm not sure how I feel about it.  Here is a good article as an overview.  You just have to scroll down to the bottom of the page.

The super secret project I've been working on with a few friends is getting a lot of great ideas.  More details later.

Great news blogland

Hey all, I have some news. I finally bought creative suites from Adobe. Hopefully it will make drawing Fumblyhands a lot less stressful.  Since I bought the program yesterday I want to first, get the program, and learn its subtle nuances so the next comic will most likely be up a little later. I'm torn between two comics.  Skittles or Colfax?

Also, I'm working on a super sweet project with some friends that I'm really excited about.  I don't really want to ruin the surprise so I'll just leave it at that.

Look! I think I posted on time!

Alright! Got my poo joke in, I think that officially makes me a cartoonist right? I'm still trying to figure out angles and such but I'm pretty happy with this.  Oh and this is a true story.  I was going to work, got to my truck and realized I'd forgotten my java.  I turned back and as I was walking kicked what looked to be a rock, but something seemed off...It wasn't the hard thud against my shoe I hear when I kick rocks, this was...soft. I look next to it and there's a empty fifth of vodka.  Being the smart person I am I put two and two together.  I'm not 100% certain but I feel pretty strongly that I'm correct. 

Anyway, Starcraft II and video game companies in general are really starting to irritate me with this whole Downloadable content thing (DLC).  I understand only so much can fit on a disc but at least put a finished product on there.  In Starcraft II there are 3 races; the Terrains, the Zerg and the Protoss.  As of right now, you can only play as the Terrains.  The first Starcraft was a full game in which you could and had to play as all 3 races.  The term OMG Zergrush is well known through geekdom but yet you can't make your own zergrush as of right now in Starcraft II.  Well I'll keep an eye out on patch notes but I'm a little annoyed with this.  Good news though!  Fable 3 is coming soon and looks amazing.  Check out 1up.com for more info.  

There's more I'd like to talk about but I'll maybe leave that for another post.  

Comic!!! Woot!!!

 As promised!  Sorry there is a lot of fine details in this...Still working

Update on status

Is that a redundant title?  I can't figure it out.  If your updating something wouldn't that something be the status?  Anyway, all of my visitors have left now!! Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed my time with everyone who was out here but I really want to get back to my normal day in day out routine and today is the day that I can finally do this.  We took some amazing pictures though that I'll probably post about on here later. 

The comic is in the final stages and I'm really getting sick of Elements...need...creative...suites.... 

Starcraft II is FTW.  A lot of people have been saying that it is nothing new and I agree.  The original Starcraft was (for me at least) the standard by which all other real time strategy games should be made after.  It was great, and intuitive.  Basically Starcraft II is a continuation of the story from one but that's a good thing when you've made the gold standard of a genre. I'm just not sure why it took 10 years to make this game. The story is alright (or maybe it's the acting) but bearable. The game play is as easy to understand as the first one was and that makes the game so much fun.  You spend more time planning attacks and fortifying your base instead of learning new commands on the keyboard. 

Goal for the night...finish comic...play craptons of SCII....do nothing else....

My vote for WTF moment of 2010

With everything going on with our economy, I'm pretty sure this is not going to do anything other than piss off/annoy some people.  Thank you NYSE for wasting some money that would probably have been better suited for helping the oh, I don't know, crapton of people who don't have jobs instead of putting these people up in front AGAIN and I'm pretty sure very few people cared.  We wonder why we are in so much freaking debt but yet we frivolously spend money on meaningless crap...what ever happened to being frugal in times of economic strife?!?  Have we forgotten everything from 80 years ago?  And my rant is complete.


Comic is 50% complete, hopefully tomorrow I'll finish it and it will be up for your viewing pleasure...(p.s. it just dawned on me that the comic pertains to the link above...weird). 


OH YEAH!!! STARCRAFT 2!  Being an idiot I didn't pre-order so I'll be getting my copy tomorrow after work and I'll be playing all afternoon since it's supposed to rain here (after I finish the comic of course). 

Freaking Smartphones

That is what I've come up with for the title of today's webcomic....you heard (read) right folks! I present to you a new comic.

I really wish I could figure out how to post the whole thing but as with the previous, click and you'll be able to view the whole image.  Trying some new stuff and seeing if I can't improve my art.  I apologize for the delay but as we have no A/C I have literally been sweating my balls off while drawing this.

It's very strange to me how smartphones work like this so often...I'll be in the woods or up on the top of a mountain and be able to zoom around the interwebs...I'll be in the burbs and my phone will decide it has lost all brains it once possessed.  WTF?

Anyway enjoy and I hope to not be so late on the next update.  But we shall see.  As always let me know your thoughts.
