The Life & Times of Optiluiz - Part IV

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

Optiluiz here with yet another new comic, fresh from the oven! This marks the end of the first page of "The Life & Times of Optiluiz", and despite some severe shortcomings, I'm rather proud of where things are heading. Hell, I'm always happy to get the Mothman involved in my work.

Anyway, how have y'all been this week? I'm working on a new horror short featuring spooky paintings and photographs while also dealing with reviews, so I've been quite busy. It seems that the sky has been falling nonstop for these past few days, with random thunderstorms and apocalyptic lighting, and I think that's a sign that I'm on the right track.

I've also been playing a lot of Days Gone (once again, thanks to Sr. M for that!), and while it's a decidedly weird experience, I've actually been enjoying it quite a bit. My only real issue with the game (besides introducing the hordes way too late into the campaign) is that there is just way too much to do. Too many repetetive sidequests and meandering story missions that move the narrative along at a snail's pace. Meh, at least setting people on fire with molotovs is fun.

Traditionally, September is Lovecraft month for myself, so I'm getting ready to reread a few of his tales in preparation for my new short films, and I also finally managed to find copies of a few adaptations that I've been looking for since 2009. I've also got Amazon Prime now, which should make acquiring books and movies a bit easier.

To be honest, I don't think I have anything substantial to say today, so I'll leave you guys with a song that's been stuck in my head for way too long. Thank you all for visiting, and don't forget to stay in touch through the comments section and social media.

Chainsaw cheers,

-Optiluiz out.

PS: Going to see the new Rambo tomorrow. Wish me luck.

PPS: Next time I should tell you guys about my latest D&D adventures.

PPPS: 24 Hour Party Peopleeeeeeeee!

The Life & Times of Optiluiz - Part III

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

Optiluiz here once more with a comic that isn't obcenely late! I mean, I know we technically haven't been following a schedule for years now, but I like how weekly updates look on my dashboard. Don't you? Anyway, how've ya'll been this week?

Today's comic has actually been ready for quite a while now, but I was rather busy with class, work and social shenanigans this week. Luckily for you guys, today I'm just wiping pizza grease off my fingertips, having just had one of my traditional double-feature picture shows. The movies in question were Detroit Rock City and Gags The Clown. I enjoyed both, but the former more than the latter.

Thanks to Sr. M's tragic lack of free time and a fortunate willingness to lend me his stuff, I've also been playing a lot of Days Gone this past week. It's no masterpiece or anything like that, but I'm having fun with the game, and I actually enjoy the motorcycle maintenance. It feels refreshing to play something recent for a change, though I think I'm going to give Mario Galaxy another try after I'm done with this one.

Well, as September rolls in, the decade is one step closer to a horrible death, and I'm not sure what that means for us but there's no stopping it, that's for sure. I feel like I've always been particularily sensitive towards what people refer to as the "zeitgeist", and I admit that I've been feeling a certain amount of anxiety about the passage of time. However, it probably has more to do with the fact that I'll be 25 years old soon, but I'd rather not discuss that right now.

I think that's about it for now, but keep tuning in for more comics. The structure of this story is going to be a bit different, but I hope you guys enjoy the new direction. Plus, I've been thinking about a change in art-style, but we'll talk about that another time. Thanks for visiting, and keep on rocking in the free world. I'll leave you with a song that I've been listening to every night for a while now. Hope you enjoy it.

Chainsaw cheers,

-Optiluiz out.

PS: It Chapter Two was good but I'm still frustrated with the changes to the book, though I think a re-edit of both films as a mini-series would work much better.

PPS: Don't forget to keep up with my work at Strategy Informer and Bloody-Disgusting!

PPPS: I've been reading ECB's back catalogue, and despite the cringe, I really fucking love this blog. That doesn't mean it's good, though.
