Attack videos from SRW: Original Generations (the PS2 revised version of the GBA Original Generation 1&2 games, with extra material) are popping up on youtube. Check out Daizengar!

Aside from Scott looking like crap (which he’s supposed to. Even in ‘lazy’ strips, I purposely draw him about a notch cartoonier than the rest of the cast), I like how the last installment of my comic came out. Laptop did overheat once during the toning stage of it, though luckily I SAVED shortly before it for once! Usually my computer kacks at the point where I would lose as much work as possible.

I get the urge to talk art and comics here every now and then. Usually I squash that urge as soon as possible since it’s so hard to talk about your tastes or critique things without sounding like a total asshole. Though sometimes it’s fun to be an ass (say, FOGClub is updating again! *pumps shotgun*) it always feels hypocritical to pound on someone else’s work while promoting my own in the sidebar (READ REVOLVER KNIGHT).

Shall I? Shan’t I?

So, I done went and saw the Transformers last night, and it was about as good as expected- that is to say, chock full of explosions and robots and such. I do have to agree with one review I’d seen that it kind of feels like two movies stitched together- the first half being slower paced and a touch more ‘mysterious,’ followed by the long, fierce brawl downtown.

Anyway, I’m mostly satisfied, though I feel oddly hung over or something this morning in spite of not drinking anything (not that I usually do, really)

What we learned:

• Optimus Prime has an impatient streak.
• Drunken, waspy suburban mothers have an array of euphemisms for masturbation ready at all times
• Always keep your alien artifact buckled safely in the back seat, preferably with the aid of a safety commission-approved child seat
• Autobots will not harm humans, but can apparently opt out of catching a falling helicopter to save the crew
• People mispronouncing “Witwicky” is really no funnier than the name Witwicky already is
• BUY GM…. BUY GM…

There was also a large fiberglass replica of the Simpsons on their couch in the lobby too, in anticipation of the movie due this month. If done to 1:1 scale, I think Homer is roughly 10′6″.
