Emperor Of The World

Greetings, readers!

     Optiluiz here once more to brighten your Friday! As I sit here, sipping tea from my Stormtrooper mug, I imagine that the world would be a much better place with me at the helm. Or maybe not. In any case, I hope that the new Star Wars movies are at least better than the prequels (not that that would be difficult).
     Max and I have been working a lot on the blog, from translations to social media to contemplating adsense, and sometimes it gets a little overbearing. We're actually planning a new posting schedule (twice a week!), and I hope you'll like it when we get everything in order. Anyway, even with all this work, we still find time for friends. The following doodle is proof of that, being a drawing Max made for his cute Chinese friend who I'm apparently prohibited from speaking to.

     Yeah, Pikachu is always nice. In any case, I've been having a lot of free time with my weird class schedule, and I've been enjoying many new films and videogames. From Mass Effect 3 to Tokyo Jungle, I don't think I've ever been as busy with gaming as I am now. Unlike most people, I consider story to be the most important aspect of any medium, being a storyteller myself, and I believe videogames are a viable form of expression and inspiration for our own tales.
     Well, I better stop before the rambling gets out of hand. I still need to continue marketing the blog and to prepare for a weekend with my girlfriend. But before I go, I'd like to ask you to please like our Facebook Page and follow our new Official Twitter! I'll leave you with a music video of sorts, related to a fan-film I'm still quite anxious to see released.

Chainsaw cheers,

Optiluiz out.

PS: Okay, Revenge of the Sith wasn't that bad.

PSS: I just realized the blog says this was posted on a Thursday. I guess Blogspot thinks I'm still in Canada...

PSSS: Don't worry about the ads, we're just testing out capitalism!

The Final Frontier

Greetings, dear readers!

     Optiluiz here once more with a brand new comic about space! I hope you don't misinterpret today's post and think that I'm against space exploration, because astronomy is actually something I'm quite interested in. The problem isn't that there isn't anything of value in outer space, just that there is a whole lot more of nothing than actual things.
     In any case, as soon as it's possible for civilians to leave orbit, I'm selling my organs on the black market and booking a window-seat. It'll be my first step towards becoming a real-life Commander Shepherd! Even if it's dangerous, and even if there's no chance of coming back to earth, I still think the trip would be worth it. Now here's a doodle:

     Before I comment on the doodle, let's all just agree that Resident Evil 6 isn't a bad enough game to abandon the planet for, it's just not Resident Evil enough. Anyway, one thing that's always bothered me about the series (both movies and games), is how the many viruses manage to mutate some individuals into monsters many times larger than their original bodies. How the hell are they accumulating all that mass? The extra cells have to come from somewhere, folks.
     Anyway, I'm rushing to finish Resident Evil 6 soon so I can tackle Mass Effect 3. I guess I'm just aching for some epic science fiction to warm up for Star Wars at the end of the year. Also, my Urth of the New Sun book arrived in the mail this week, after five months of waiting. I guess that's relevant.
     Well, I guess that's all for today, but I hope you guys enjoyed the post, and don't forget to like our Facebook Page HERE! You'll get some exclusive content and know about updates sooner! Now I'll leave you guys with a new web-series that I found (and loved). I hope you all have a great weekend.

Chainsaw cheers,

Dave Grohl & Friday the 13th

Greetings, readers!
 
     Optiluiz here again to talk about blogging! Yes friends, as you may have noticed, we have tweaked the blog and made it a bit more... presentable. Anyway, we hope you like the changes, and our new One-Panel-Comic series!
     Everyone is a fan of Dave Grohl, so we thought about including him here after meeting his doppelganger at the local mall (Mel Gibson was there too... Don't ask.). Now that I think of it, maybe we shouldn't be using his likeness on our blog. Well, as long as a cease and desist order doesn't show up, we'll be fine. It's just parody, right? Right? Well, here's the alternate comic we promised.

     Did you guys like it? I personally think it's funnier than the original one, but maybe that's just me. I actually like making alternate comics, so if it's okay with our loyal readers we might see some more of them around here.
     I just noticed it's a Friday the 13th, and I can't think of anything to relate this post to that. Jason's already in the comic, so I guess that's enough. This weekend Max and I will have a horror gaming marathon, so maybe that's relevant.
     In any case, I guess it's time to go. I've got two blogs to tend to now, so things can get kind of hectic. But before I leave, I want to remind you guys to like our Facebook Page and to comment and share and et cetera. I'll leave you guys with a peculiar video by the creators of Marble Hornets.

Chainsaw cheers,

Optiluiz out.

PS: It took us like 4 hours just to resize the new banner, I never want to redesign a blog again. *Shivers*

Strikes and Illuminati!

Hello, readers! 

     Optiluiz here once more with another new comic! Max and I put some actual effort into this one, and I hope you'll like it. There actually is a strike going on around here, and we're obviously controlling it to further our New World Order agenda. 
     Ok, I'll stop with the Illuminati jokes before someone murders me. There's also an alternate version of this comic that we'll post next week along with something new. I hope you notice the Easter eggs in the image, of which there are quite a few. Anyway, I think it's time for a Tolkienesque doodle now. 

      Did you like it? I think I would be a great hobbit, already loving food and home more than most people. There's also an Easter egg in this image, so look for it, folks! Mordor was actually one of the least interesting locations in the Lord of the Rings, in my opinion, though it had some of the most interesting scenes. By the way, does anyone remember the Shoggoth Eye of Sauron from the animated Return of the King? Anyone? No? 
     Well, like I mentioned before, I did finally manage to finish the book, and I still feel rather empty for having no more Middle-Earth to dive in to. In any case, it did manage to influence my own writing, and hopefully for the best. But I think I've spoken enough for now, so I'll go back to playing Mass Effect 2 and sleeping! 
     I hope you all have a great weekend, and I'll leave you with one of my favourite things from the animated LOTR adaptations, put into a more serious context.. 

Chainsaw cheers, 

Optiluiz out.
