Published Horror, Free Pizza and Koreans!

Greetings,

     Optiluiz here once more on this fine Friday evening with some awesome news! But first, let's take a moment to remember that South-Koreans are still prohibited from watching porn, and that's awful. With no carnal distractions, they keep dominating us in online games. Please let this madness stop! Now, onto some lighter news...

     My short horror story is finally online! Yay! I've been waiting for this for a while, and this story is based on adventures regarding myself and Max! Here's a link to Saturday Night Reader, where my story "Buried Intentions" is being hosted. It's a great site, with calming rain sounds and lots of story options to choose from (Choose mine, though!). Now here's a random doodle from pre-blog times. Please don't judge. 

  

     Didya like it? I only uploaded the image after having already written this, so I have no idea what you just saw, but I know it was great because Optiluiz was the one responsible. And speaking of great things, I got free pizza with Max yesterday! That's just something I thought didn't exist in real life. But I was wrong. We live in the best of possible worlds, friends.

     Other than that I guess I can say it's been a slow week. Max and I are discussing a remake/refurbishing of older comics in order to make something new and awesome. Also, our paranormal videos, which are almost certain at this point. Which reminds me, our paypal button is still there so we wouldn't mind some help raising the money to buy our own domain name and make this blog as awesome as it can be! But I think I'm rambling, so I should go now.  

     Thanks for reading, and I hope everyone has a great weekend. Let's celebrate the little things and wave at our far-away problems! I'll leave you guys with a paranormal video from a guy I admire. The Dead Explorer has some great videos, so I hope you like this one.

Chainsaw cheers,

Optiluiz out.

PS: Hey, Max here! I'm way too stoned on my meds to really say something, but I guess there was supposed to be something about K-PORN in this comic.

Lazy Meals and Sickness!

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

     Optiluiz here on this cold friday to say that yes, Max and I are exactly that lazy. Well, I actually wouldn't eat a wild rat. But even so, laziness is a part of life, and the more we embrace it the happier we are! I've never seen a depressed sloth, so I guess that means something. Now, for some blog news...

     Well, next week my short horror story will be online at Saturday Night Reader, so I'll be sure to link it for you guys. After all, I began writing here, and it's something I think all of you should share in. It's actually inspired by a real adventure I had with Max, down in the bowels of the local mall.

    I guess there's no doodle today, but I can explain! I've been sick for the last three days, so things have been slower (well, lazier) than usual lately. But have no fear, Optiluiz will be well again soon, all I need is tea and unicorn tears.  Which reminds me, I've been cooking  a lot lately, and maybe one of these days I'll talk about that. Or not.

     That's all for today, dear readers. However, before I go, I'd like to leave you with one of my favourite youtube videos! This is pretty much the creepiest thing I've ever seen animated, and I think I shouldn't have to suffer through it alone. Enjoy, and I hope you all have a great weekend.



Chainsaw cheers,

Optiluiz out.

PS: Desperation is actually pretty good, so far. Not exactly Book of the New Sun, but then again, nothing ever will be. *Sniff*.

Sex Jokes and Creepy Stuff!

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

     Optiluiz here again, and I won't even bother justifying the late post. It is what it is. Anyway, I'd just like to remind you all that the chainsaw is and always will be our tool of choice for just about any task, even shaving. And I guess we really haven't made any sex or rape jokes since we started the blog four years ago, which is weird 'cus we were both teenagers back then. Go figure.

     So, Max and I have been discussing our video plans, which haven't come to fruition since 2010. However, this time I believe we've finally decided on a project so insanely easy and fun that we'll have no choice but to go through with it. It's actually about true creepy stories regarding my Grandma's house, where I used to live. We'll discuss it further in another post. Now onto something else entirely...



     My copy of Stephen King's Desperation finally came in the mail today! I really fucking love old books like this (and especially Stephen King, whose books I haven't read in years), and I actually don't have much choice because finding good (not to mention cheap) english books in Brazil is quite the challenge. And as a bonus, they actually refunded my money because of the book's overall oldish appearance. I wouldn't have minded paying full price, but I'm still happy, more money for Magic! I guess now I can start getting over the end of The Book Of The New Sun.

     Also, Max and I finally got to watch another movie, and will be gifting you guys with another review soon! This time, the victim of choice is 2005's horror film Reeker! We had a blast watching and commenting on it, so I hope you guys enjoy it too. But we'll leave that for another time. For now, I'll leave you with a creepy video (I've been watching quite a bit of paranormal related stuff on youtube, actually). I hope you all have a nice weekend, and stay awesome!



Chainsaw cheers,

Optiluiz out!

PS: I finally fixed the scanner and our posts shall not be late anymore! Well, at least not for that reason.

PPS: I just found out that I'm getting published again! Once the story is up I'll link it here on the blog for you guys!

Strike, Donations and the Book of the New Sun!

Greetings,

     Optiluiz here again after quite some time. My scanner still hasn't been fixed, so I have to borrow my girlfriend's. (Thanks Annie!) Anyway, the comic was my explanation for writer's block. Sometimes the character's just don't want to do anything, hence the strike. but now, onto blog news...

     My extended vacation is finally over, but I promise that I'll keep posting as regularily as possible. Toast finally made his introduction, and we're hoping to review a lot more around here. Remember, comment with any suggestions! Also, we've finally set up a donation button so you readers can help us make the blog even better! Current goals are our own domain name, and some design updates. So, if you can spare some cash, we'd totally like to use it. And now, to this month's most important detail...



     I've finally finished the Book of the New Sun, by Gene Wolfe. All I can say is "Holy shit." Actually, I can say a lot more. This has turned out to be my new favourite book, and it's simply amazing. Who would have thought that the story of an exiled torturer travelling the peculiar lands of a dying earth with religious undertones could be so engaging? The characters are memorable, the story itself is incredible and the writing is strange yet hypnotizing.

     The actual book is divided into four parts, Shadow of the Torturer, Claw of the Conciliator, Sword of the Lictor and finally, Citadel of the Autarch. My favourite was the third, although Terminus Est bei- Sorry, I won't spoil it. Just don't go in expecting this to be as simple as Star Wars or something more Tolkien-esque. This story works on much higher (or perhaps much deeper) levels, with Severian, the protagonist, being somewhat akin to a modern-day goth Christ-figure, dressed in fuligin (the colour darker than black!).

     But I think I've said enough about this book. You all should read it, this is pretty much the next Bible, only more entertaining and with more pain and sufferi-actually, it's about the same in the last respect. I guess I'll leave you with an inspired song, and I hope that everyone has a great weekend. And my the New Sun come upon us soon.



Chainsaw cheers,

Optiluiz out.

PS: They actually invented real-life fuligin a few weeks back, isn't that awesome???
