Seriously? The site isn't even working yet and we've already got another giant ad on the front page?

So are these full-page ads something that's going to be there all the time now?

Posted at 3:01PM, Jan. 18, 2011

I'm glad I use adblock, otherwise this site would probably look like a hysterical mess. It's not so much that there are a lot of ads, it's the placement that gets me. Every page is so disorganized, and it feels like DD is trying really hard sometimes to be Myspace criteria 2006.

What kind of deck do you use? Any interesting cards on your end? DO YOU HAVE A GENGAR, I'LL TRADE YOU A ROTOM FOR A GENGAR :V

Gengar prime is definitely the most powerful one so far. I was a little shocked when I first read what it does and then quickly made a deck with it. The deck was Gengar/Nido and used nidequeens to heal and sent stuff to the lost zone. Pretty awesome except NO ONE PLAYS POKEMON/FOREVER ALONE.

Actually speaking of forever alone, I'm glad 4chan no longer has that shithole /r9k/. They seriously believed women can't orgasm during sex, i mean how inept can you *be*? =__=

-I'm sending out my first online trade tommori…i hope everything goes well. It's kinda pissing me off though because besides him a lot of the offers tend to average me getting ripped off by 40-50%. Like They'll want 15$ worth of popular cards and offer me 7$ worth…um nty fag.

Sellers are even worse. Why would I pay you full price of a card I can find at a reputable online seller? And he even added on a dollar on some cards, like I don't have eyes.

2 years 3 days and I'm still here.

Yay.

As you can see, my being an idiot went away but don't worry it's bound to come back.

I still haven't made a comic in weeks but now am starting another project with Gunwallace.

They are something one of the bosses at Wowio has decided to capitalize on, yes. Apparently he won't be dissuaded.

that is kinda an idiot move. it is like setting angry africanized honey bees upon someone whose trapped outside in the rain. it never bodes well, and people who see that person being attack will not go near whoever's doing that because it is a rare person who loves being cold, wet, and repeatativly stung by mistakes of mankind

I have a headache. :(
I was trying to get back into my non-holidays mode sleep pattern and that was all dashed when my giant heavy tomcat decided to go have an evening of groinjumping fun. >_<

That's a lovely analogy ^_^

Unless they're outright saying ALL women can't have one, then they're completely retarded, which I would expect considering it's a conversation about sex on 4chan.

Obviously they're just stupid kids… but going the other way why is it that…[spoiler=NSFW or young, innocent eyes.]…in hentai ALL women orgasm, usually gushing vaginal fluid, spraying buckets of brestmilk, and crying out in pleasure- even if she was being packraped at the time by a bunch of crazed tentacle beasts?[/spoiler]

I took a little detour from coloring (which was going damn slow 1-2 pages a day) and decided to do flats first… as a result I have only five pages left to flat for tonight and tomorrow actual coloring commences!

But yeah, I am getting sick of working in color.

*shakes head on the whole pokemon/card games discussion cause he'd rather waste money on comics* :)

Posted at 8:01AM, Jan. 19, 2011

I would love some Pokemon cards. I only ever had Yu gi oh cards. I didnt even play the TCG. I just liked the art.

In recent news I had to wear sunglasses all day due to the burning of my retina. Low winter sun + headache. I got called Neo all day. I then drew a comic explaining why I chose to wear them and that lead onto a discussion of webcomics and where I posted them. I kept mentioning that I hadn't got any on my profile. They kept asking why when I had so many drawn. I decided that I might as well post them. I also heard a guy mention that his former art teacher is a member here. Sounded a little weird to me.

Anyway I hate low winter sun.

Good News: I now have my copy of the CS5 Web Premium. YAY!

bad news: I work up late for 11 o'clock class AGAIN! seriously! I can get up for a class that's an hour and half earlier, but I can't wake up for a one in the middle of the bloody day?!

oh and I still need five more players for Mafia. Please? *puppy dog eyes*

Even sadder when
[spoiler] Consensual hentai gives me a hard time telling if she's getting raped or not.Seriously Japan =__= Even in yuri i sometimes don't know wtf is going on. I rarely ever see hentai where the girl looks like she's enjoying it(called aohage?) and I've never seen a convincing female orgasm.
It's pretty much 'derp i will get one panel screaming ~~kyaaaa~ as a bunch of speedlines indicate I finished. Oh look 10 hyper detailed close up shots of an ejaculating penis so you know it's made in japan!' [/spoiler]

I would love some Pokemon cards. I only ever had Yu gi oh cards. I didnt even play the TCG. I just liked the art.

That's actually the reason I can't get into Yu-gi-oh. The cards are so damn ugly now.

Welp I've got about 33 pokermanz cards coming in the mail from buying and 27 coming through trades…yaaaaay. :)

Posted at 2:01PM, Jan. 19, 2011

I know I must sound like a broken record, but i promise to shut up about this when another four players sign up.

There's a pretty concise (well as concise as I can be anyway) explanation here. If you wanted to play mafia, but were scared away by how complicated the game, or this version I came up with anyway, is, then go ahead and look at that and don't let not understanding the game get in the way of having a good time. IF you have any questions you can ask me and I'll do my best to answer.

so what are you waiting for? Sign up!

The trouble at the moment Salsa is that the forums are currently painful and unpleasant to use so it makes the idea of a forum game very tough to contemplate.

Wow, I had a great dream this morning! I was living and working in Paris for a year as an actor. I made heaps of cash. I bought a white Lamborghini countach. I drove around in the Dukes of Hazard car as part of my acting job. My friends and I had just jumped into a big convertible to go out to a suburban Paris club at 3am in the morning… and then I woke up.

Man… -_-

just listened to the latest DD podcast episode.

Fucking laughtrip… lol! It gave me the lulz. Good job, guys.

Ozone has a funny laugh.
Skool has a sexy voice and she can be a… nvm. I'd leave it at that. :)

and… amelius and EE nick met online? Reminds me of a relationship I had with another girl who was a reader of MAG-ISA. At first she turned out all right but she turned out later on to be a total psycho (plus a laundry list of other mental illnesses like PTSD, Multiple Personality Disorder, Paranoia, Schizophrenia, Delusions, Insomnia, alcoholism, or you can throw in the entire DSM here. lol). Long story short, I honestly feared for my life that she's gonna slit my throat when I sleep. I'd leave it at that. lol

Now I guess I'm traumatized for life on relationships. Because there is no way to tell if that sweet girl is really a satanic super soldier. lol!

My new computer is here! I had so much fun playing with it, that I created an extremely lame video to show it off.

(Btw, my sis met her fiancee online. He's Australian. He visited her for Christmas a few years ago when she was teaching in Japan. The biggest problem is travel costs and red tape. :P )

we have a new mattress. and i can't sleep on it. well i can. but i guess i'm just uncomfortable, because when i come ot the light part of the sleep cycle, i actually wake up. then i complain in my head that i'll never get back to sleep, and then i go back to sleep to start over again.

i kept having dreams about col. old guy. just that he was running. as he always does. Man col. old guy schools me on the track, makes me feel bad about myself, but in a good way. a competitive way. the other day he was finishing up his 19 lap run (almost 8 miles) and he started to lap me, but i wasn't gonna let that happen, so i sped up and matched his pace, but he wasn't gonna let that happen, then the cycle began to a full out sprint for 100 meters. it was like tyson vs gay. except 10x slower. he beat me by like 10 feet, (3 meters) and i still had another mile to run :(

i don't think i'll ever leave DD

the local city is producing a horrendous odor, that is even getting inside via the heater…

Posted at 4:01PM, Jan. 20, 2011

I have nothing to rant about and that is never a good thing.

So that means I'll just have to find something.

…something.

Well I did almost think I was invited to Niccea's wedding. I was pretty close cause the invitation my parents got happened in the area BUT she didn't send them so…weird…

Posted at 8:01PM, Jan. 20, 2011

I don't usually look at the site without AdBlockPlus on… especially not the front page.
On my work PC today I did.

Jebus. O_O

If it was just the ad on the sides that'd be ok, but the same stupid movie crap posters in every position… F*CK.
As people have said- coming at a time when the site is basically unusable, that really is rubbing salt into the wound. -_-

I think I preferred being hot and sweaty at home to freezing in an air-conditioned office.

I guess it's about time I get a job.

…I think I said that exact same line on this forum 2 years ago. Oh well lololol.

And I've spent so much time on forums I can tell when it's an indonesian scammer. Their grammar is always so fucked up yet they tend to spell things correctly:

Hence, preclude the horny high heeled footwear for those situations while you are going to be standing the vast majority of the time. Along with take care of yourself to the comfort of tory burch flats footwear for the administrative center and for recreation, also. As the women are discussing their attire and appearance, a pair of comfortable and trendy shoes, not simply showed off your legs but also allows you to add a great deal color to the overall outlook. Every women dreams to look as stunning as possible xud28due? .

Has anyone really as decided as to how what the want more look like?

So much stuff I wanna cram into my head at once. My own limited physical brain can't keep up with my thirst for knowledge.

Im exhausted. Good night. :(

More snow to come. And then there's more snow next week. You know this is fitting into the theory of the guy who wrote "Not by Fire but by Ice: the Next Ice Age" Wet and extreme weather. Averages are deceiving. We tend to forget that they are just the mathematical middleground between two extremes.

HHmmmm….. site seems a bit quicker, comic thumbnail has reappeared - maybe I can risk posting an update later.

Made one of those free forum host type forums and I can't work out why everything but the index page is a mile wide. All my dabbling with bits of code in the last couple of years has taught me nothing.

lol!
Yeah… sort of like you did just there ;)
In the Northern hemisphere you're getting some cold spikes during your winter phase. Pretty consistent with the fact all those masses of sea ice in the Arctic are melting so much more over the summer phase resulting in colder weather influencing currents during the winter later on.
It's pretty easy to understand- the earth is a global system with uneven distribution of temperature. When you add more energy you get this sort of balancing effect as things find a new level.

-it fools the unwary only because they don't take time to look at the whole situation.

It's like when you drip a bit of water on a hotplate:
-If it's warm the drip will sit there for a while and slowly evaporate.
-if it's pretty hot the drip with boil almost instantly.
-But if it's very hot the drip will hang around for a little bit before boiling away…

That doesn't see logical, but only if you don't look at the whole story: the water on the underside of the drip boils while the rest floats safely on that cloud of vapour.

So I'm in to the 2nd week with this virus, and it seems especially crappy to have my favorite web site acting as sick as I feel, especially when all I want to do is stroll through comics.

But it's nice that it's already been 20 seconds and my log-in hasn't kicked out.

edit:

So of course I clicked "send" after writing the above, and got a message that my connection timed out. 20 seconds, okay, but 24? uh no, uh no you don't. I hit "try again" and it appeared that it worked.

Well, It appears I have Schreodinger's computer. I am currently unsure if it's just slow or if it's suffering the onset of Hard Drive Disk failure, or something worse like a bad CPU.
