Something Positive

10/21/2003 11:55 PM: Mouthing Off Today's comic is an example of what I do when I don't know what to do for a comic. You see, sometimes at work, I get ideas for things to do with comics, so I write them down on a small piece of paper. If it's an idea that I can use almost anytime, I throw it in a pile of other small pieces of paper, called the Pile of Papers I Use To Get Ideas For Comics When I Don't Know What To Draw About. Most of them aren't that great, but I thought this one was at least decent, and it kind of advances whatever story I'm writing. Ubercon 2 last weekend did indeed rock. I spent most of the convention sitting in the main gaming area, and man, I gotta say that Halo would be 20 million times better if I could use a keyboard and mouse with it. I'd do a hell of a lot to have mouselook in that game... of course, I wouldn't shell out an assload of cash to pay for enough comp upgrades to run the PC version. Hell, I don't even HAVE an Xbox. Anyway, back to that convention thing. It was cool. I got to ask questions about comics to Randy Milholland (the Something Positive guy) and play a Shadowrun campaign and make a bad attempt to run a Soul Calibur 2 tournament. Oh, and then there was that one round of Counter-Strike in the LAN where I single handedly FUCKED OVER THE WHOLE OTHER TEAM. Man, it ALMOST made up for how much I sucked the rest of the game. Oh, and Unreal Tournament 2K3 makes a REALLY SHITTY IRC client. In other words, it was cool, and I've said WAY TOO MUCH FOR ONE UPDATE. So that's all I'm saying. (c) 2002-2004 Futility.
