I'm still unconvinced, but that may change. I'm not necessarily heading towards an I Already Hate It position, but I'm keeping with my initial scepsis.

Yes, it supports PHP. But my brain does not. I've heard from a lot of sources that PHP is the way to go for sites and webcomics in general, and I sort of know how it could benefit me so I could just upload a new comic instead of creating a whole new html-page. But since it's entirely alien and as of yet incomprehensible to me, I'm hesitant to dig into it...

To prevent people from accessing it altogether? Like I said, I don't know a lot about these sort of scripts...

And here I was completely underestimating my audience. Thanks, I've deleted the Future Pages. I just didn't figure anyone would be browsing my server unconventionally

Friends, the new strip is online! For page four of Captain August, compell your browsers towards http://www.captainaugust.com!
(Tanukitsune, I haven't received an answer from Comic Alert! yet. I'm still hoping and waiting )

Here I go again: I payed 90 euros for the Warcraft 3 collector's edition, and I thought it was fairly priced (this was no small box, more closely resembling a ton indeed). I can't speak for HL2 of course. If I look at the Bronze version, I am pleased though. 40 euros for a new game of this magnitude. Now that's a price that I would deem reasonable for any new game, instead of the usual 60.

we're important! Hurrah!

Tim Shafer is God.
But I shall join you, Intrepid Homoludens! From now on, I'll only glance occasionally at the game when a screenshots happens to drift by, but no more readings on it, actively browsing websites or perusing analytic texts on the subject! And promising myself to judge the game on its own merits, whatever they may be!

It isn't
I think I already got the gist when Ed said that bit, even without commentary track. Damn this movie is good.

Haha =D

Something bothers me about Shaun of the Dead. So I'd like to discuss it with you folks, since we're all Shaun fans here.
If you've seen the movie, you know how everything in the movie fits. There are no scenes that are there just for yucks, everything comes back in one way or another, proving to be an asset to the plot, stearing it forward, rather than just adding erratic entertainment value. This goes very far in Shaun, providing for a very tight experience. Whole camera-movements become semiotic recurring plotdevices, such as the elaborate one where Shaun goes out of the house, walks accross the street, goes into the store to buy his breakfast, etc. So what I'm saying is: everything in the movie is there for a reason.
Which makes the thing I want to bring forward all the more troubling. Because there's one scene that just doesn't fit. It's there, well obviously for a purpose, but it doesn't aid the plot, it doesn't return to explain itself, and more disturbingly, it promises something and doesn't deliver.
I'm talking about the scene where Shaun and Ed are sitting in the Winchester after Shaun has been dumped by Liz. Shaun is down in the dumps and Ed tries to cheer him up. He then turns to descibe all the wonderful, off-beat characters sitting in the pub. involving suspenseful cameramovements and well-chosen desciptions, the movie seems to be introducing those people. At this point the movie tells you that these people will later on come back to form a group of zombie-hunters together with Shaun. Why else would there be such elaborate introductions, in a movie where every scene and minute tidbit has a purpose? Alas, as it turns out later, the movie seems to forget about this whole scene, and we never see those people again. This can be expected from a movie like Austin Powers, which doesn't mind using stuff like this for pure comedic value. But in Shaun, it's just wrong. I would have liked seeing the old drunk lady and the stark pale hunter again. It made for the only (small) disappointment of the movie, a fault generated completely by itself.
So it really puts you on the wrong foot, all the more nagging because everything else is so carefully designed. What did you think? Did you notice this at all?

Since I have them on video I'll be able to hold it out for a long time yet. Not out of spite, but I'm on a tight budget here. That said, the box looks amazing, with Vader on it with a light and a dark side.
And no matter what you think of the new movies, the old trilogy is still superb moviestuff. It really hit the right note, whether Han shoots first or not.
-
Congratzz!
-
I mailed them, hopefully they'll reply soon. The system sounds good, I hope this will attract more readers (even thought there are over 6,000 different comics over there
-
Of course! I've read through it and it sounds good =) How does this work then? Should I submit my webcomic to them myself, or will you simply be the enthusiast reader who desperately wants to add a webcmoic to the list? Will others be able to see it as well?
-
If I notice it's going well, I may speed things up more. But for now there's little reason. Best to first let as many people possible acquainte themselves with the strip before bombing everything with comics. And this is also a better transition so I can get used to the whole concept

White Ninja has to grow on you. It'll take a dozen comics before you get into the right mindset
Don't forget to check out my comic as well

I'm quite the layman when it comes to webdesign, so I wouldn't know why that is. The site certainly doesn't use fancy tricks, it's all standard html, gif's and thousand-year-old code. If it doesn't work with Firefox, I'm afraid that it's out of clumsy neglect from Mozilla =(
-
Thank you both
It occurs to me that if we preach this thing hard enough, in a thousand years it may become the dominant religion in the world! Hurrah!

Esteemed fellow gamers, writers, creative likeminded and dear friends!
Today heralds the launch of Captain August, my very own webcomic! From this moment, on the fourth of october 2004, a new step has been taken in the grand history of webcomics, and an equally large step in my own life. With this comic I hope to entertain a great number of people around the world and show something of myself in a whole new creative way!
I hope you'll forgive me my childish exuberance, but I'm quite excited. After three months of toiling away, the fruits of my labour can finally be witnessed. So by all means, take a look on the website, bookmark it and spread the word!

You can pcik it up REAL cheap in some stores nowadays. I'm talking about 10 euros cheap.
I've played it too, and it seemed exhaustingly mediocre in the levels I played. Which really raises the question why there's all of a sudden such a ludicrous hype surrounding the sequel? Surely the first game wasn't such a success? I first favoured Bloodrayne because it seemed to have kind of an underdog feel, but this then appears to destroy even that last redeeming feature
-
Haha, that's rich. eXsorbeo is nasty.
-
Which is a shame because it beats up the competition like they were stickfigures and Shaun a huge big bully on school. Albeit a sympathetic one.
Holy Moly, or how valve wants my soul

I don't know Counterstrike, but -- facial expressions on chicken? What is this, Hot Shots?!
