I am now 18 years old. Think of all the trivial bullshit I'm legal for.

Also, I registered to vote and finished my college application.

Is this win?

So far second semester at school is going very well. I'm finally sitting with my friends during lunch rather than staying in the library with my annoying little brother. Having no 6th period is pretty cool; on Wednesdays especially, I'm able to get so much shit done, its like I don't have any homework anymore. Kinda wish this happened last year when I needed it. At the same time, I'm kind of clueless at what I'm going to be doing after I graduate. I wonder if the University of Arizona has a game design course or major.



I've also noticed I've been listening to more rap/soul/funk/r&b/whatever music as of late. I got into Gnarls Barkley a 3-4 weeks ago (I actually first heard their song "Crazy" a long time ago after I heard the of Montreal cover of it). Also been listening to more 80s rap/etc as well, and I can pretty much conclude that Grandmaster Flash and George Clinton made the best songs ever.



Damn, I wish I've been busting out these comics faster. I wanted to make an update during my two week winter vacation, but shit didn't happen. I did however get a bunch of underlying sketches done. They'll be done whenever.



In other news, I just discovered this vidya:






So sad, yet so "lol" worthy.



I need to shower.

My head hurts. God. What a way to end the fucking year.

I'm going to be frank: after getting my presents I have now decided to send my relatives complaints in letter form as a late Christmas gift.

I had a total of 4 presents that I opened yesterday. Now, normally they do this shit every year, but this years, its all I fucking got: sweaters. God damned sweaters. I'm fucking SICK of sweaters. All four of the fucking presents had nothing but sweaters in them. I hate all these sweaters for 4 distinct reasons:

1) Every single one of them was tacky.
2) Uncomfortable None of them fit
3) I can't refund them, presents are from San Diego. I live in Arizona.
4) Don't need them, it's not that fucking cold, and if it is, I have 2 thermal jackets and 3 sweaters at home that I actually use.

So my plan: I will do this, later today, we (as in cousins and I) going to be going out to eat and go shopping. What I plan to do is buy boxes of chocolates for every relative that bought me a sweater. I'll then Duct Tape a message on the chocolates telling them how much I hated their gifts and that they should never send me a sweater again. I will then wrap the gift in shitty old clothing I don't wear anymore and then wrap it in gift wrapping. I don't even care if I get presents from them anymore. At least it'll save me the pain of the fact that they aren't wasting their money buying me shitty sweaters I'll never wear.

Christmas Day itself wasn't that bad however.

Also, best wishes to my friend Insomnia. I hope his horrible situation improves and that his Christmas wasn't so terrible.

Hey guys, make sure you watch Halp's new video. It's pretty cool.

Also, for those of you who know here and aren't aware, my acquaintance Glory got involved in a car accident. At the moment she's at really critical condition. Please wish the best of luck to her.

Here are the programs I'm using at the moment:
MS Paint - Making large underlying sketches
OpenCanvas 4.06 - Making underlying sketches, lineart
Photoshop - Coloring

Okay, so what happened is that I finally got around to downloading OpenCanvas 4.5 which I hoped would've been better. And for some time it was; portalgraphics managed to fix a few things I was tearing my hair over like having a actual eraser tool and making it so that if you have an image copied to the clipboard that will be the input for the width and height if you make a new file. I thought everything would've went great, then they managed to fuck everything up with one major flaw: they complicated the brush customization.

No longer are the days where you can just scroll across a bar to change the brush shape, instead you have to do it manually by pushing and pulling some anchor on their new "grabber" tool or inputting a number. They do have scrolls for some things but even then it's still a step back from the flawless brush customization of 4.06. While I can get the same thing I did in OpenCanvas 4.06, I would've liked it if they didn't make it so fucking tedious. Another thing I hate is that they not only cramped the together, but unlike 4.06, the icons don't show you what the brush actually looks like. You also can't add custom made brushes, or if you can, they sure as hell made it less evident that you can. Then the thing that really pissed me off: if you change to another tool, the brush resets to default. Nevermind something trivial like making your brush stay where you want it to, portalgraphics assumed that you always want to go back to the pencil tool after a few seconds of using another tool.

I'm honestly in awe at how badly portalgraphics was able to fuck this version up. But anyway, anyone know of a good graphics program I can use?

Here are the ones I've tried:

MS Paint - god-like
Photoshop CS - god-like
Flash MX - good, but not appropriate for what I want to do
gimp - sucks dick
OpenCanvas 4.06 - gets the job done
OpenCanvas (old version, not sure which exactly) - sucks dick
Adobe Illustrator - sucks
OpenCanvas 4.5 - sucks dick

Zeitgeist blows.

The entire movie is bullshit and the only people who would believe it also believe that the Patriots from Metal Gear Solid exists and that the Jews secretly rule every government on earth.

If presented the opportunity to watch this movie on GoogleVideo, do yourself a favor and instead use your time to watch a better movie.

With the exception of 4Chan, this has been a very boring year on the internet.

So I plan on using this more.

How are you doing guys?

Right now I'm awaiting the time when I can purchase the Orange Box. But at the moment, I've only this game to supplement myself:
