Miss Me?

Miss Me?
Ok, now I’m <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=352>back.</a> Don’t get me wrong I like my job, but this one client is one of the biggest jerks I’ve had to work with. What kept me going through the week was knowing I had a date this weekend. I’m think it will be fun and won’t turn out like <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=16>this</a>, <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=47>this</a>, <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=73>this</a>, or <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=331>this.</a> Continue reading "Miss Me?"

From the road

From the road
You would think I would do a Halloween comic today, <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=350>wrong!</a> I’ve been in Cincinnati for the last couple of days and its hard to do a comic when I don’t have access to my computer. Anyway, it really isn’t Halloween until I leave my client (aka Satan) and head back to Columbus for some Devryguyz party action. Continue reading "From the road"

Anime Night

Anime Night
Today’s <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=349>comic</a> features the long overdue debut of the UF Bitsmacker April! Anime Night last Friday was a complete success. That is to say, if the success of an anime night is measured by whether people watch anime, then this night was successful. This time the theme was “non-giant robot” anime. We watched FLCL, Excel Saga, Trigun and Cowboy Bebop The Movie. After that we watched some Family Guy. If you’re not familar with Bawls, it is a caffeine drink that was founded by a group of 6th graders. It’s nearly impossible to mention its name without spawning 10-20 minutes of jokes about the name. Tastes good though. Continue reading "Anime Night"

The Year was 1993…

The Year was 1993…
Today’s <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=347>”comic”</a> is completely real. A wise man once said, “those who forget the 90s are doomed to repeat them.” In other news, the entire Bitsmack gang and maybe a few <a href=http://www.devryguyz.com>DevryGuyz</a> will be at Easton Friday night for the release of the new version of OS X. Even if you don’t own a Mac like me it’s still fun to watch the people that will line up for this kind of thing. Forget going to a haunted house, cornfield or hoochie, for real scares come to the Apple Store Friday night at 8pm. BOO! Continue reading "The Year was 1993…"

iTunes

iTunes
Other than a few <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=346>minor complaints,</a> iTunes for Windows is pretty good. This week I decided to pack up the Dreamcast. I came to the conclusion that I haven’t played it or even had it hooked up since I moved here in January. It’s not that I don’t like the system, it’s just in the “yesterday’s news” catagory. It’s not new enough to keep up with the big 3, and it’s not old enough to be a classic. In its place the SNES has graduated to the living room. Here’s to you Dreamcast… until we meet again. Continue reading "iTunes"

Ok, One More

Ok, One More
<a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=345>Today’s comic</a> is the last time I make fun of the N-Gage… unless I run out of comic ideas, then it’s POW! right in Nokia’s jaw. The wheel of interest is spinning once again, I’ve finally been able to identify all of my hobbies I switch between:
  1. new video games
  2. anime
  3. classic video games
  4. movies and TV on DVD
  5. import video games
  6. Heroclix, Magic, other non-video games
  7. RPGs
As you can see I live a very full and rewarding life. Anyway, yesterday I started surfing some import game sites and stumbled upon a few really cool games. Here’s some links so you can see that Japan gets a lot cooler video game stuff than we do. <a href=http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-r-70-2j8-4-5-77–15-space%2Binvaders.html>Space Invaders 25th Anniversary</a> <a href=http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-28-70-2kx-4-5-77-6-15-dragon%2Bwarrior.html>Dragon Quest w/ Sword</a> <a href=http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-70-2r2-71-r.html>Transformers (the original, not Armada crap)</a> <a href=http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-70-2oe-71-46.html>Mojib Ribbon</a> Continue reading "Ok, One More"

Treason

Treason
When I got back from New Orleans, I wasn’t expecting <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=343>this.</a> The Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference was ok. There wasn’t anything there that would interest a normal person. However after hours, Microsoft knows how to throw a party. Thursday night they rented out the House of Blues and we had free drinks the whole night. The band was really good and the fake Blues Brothers even came out to sing a couple songs. Friday night not only was the House of Blues rented out, but the whole street was blocked off for Microsoft partners. This time the band was none other than Smashmouth. Afterwards we walked a couple blocks to Bourbon street. It wasn’t anything spectactular, but it also wasn’t spring break. All in all it was a pretty good time.
