Blog the Twelfth

I was going to write this sooner, but then I drew a bunch of pirates and wanted to leave them on the front page a little longer.

I like today’s comic, my art style doesn’t really lend itself to visual jokes and while it is feasible for me to change it and move to a higher resolution I’d rather not ruin the “house style” I have going on here.
But I’m glad I could get a visual joke to work.

I took a brief break from writing Scavengers because I got to a convenient stopping point where I could just think about what happens next. I still have a brief outline that I have stuck to but keep building on and things are right on track. It’s taking a while to decide what to write next because I want everything to be written down for a reason.

I don’t want things to happen “just because”.

Part Three is set in Sinclair’s Wandering Market of Wonderment, a name I just made up but might keep. I really want to focus Three on how the Scavengers use currency and trade with each other.

So far each part has focused on something new and important, I don’t want Three to be any different.

In other news, I update the ART page to have some sort of navigation, it allows direct links to be sent without leaving the page and you can jump straight to a piece of artwork.
It’s still terrible to navigate though, which I should fix. I might just add a “Back to top” button underneath every piece.
I do need to get around to adding thumbnails.

Also games, I’ve been really getting into League of Legends lately. Recently re-discovered the Dominion game mode, I find it much more fun than classic. It’s less of a slow paced grindfest and encourages/forces more team fights. I like Dominion over Classic because stuff keeps happening. There is always something going on somewhere on the map, whereas in Classic it is possible for nothing to really happen for a good few minutes.

I’ve also purchased Blades of Time, this happened after I fell in love with the combat and wanted to see the weird places the terrible plot would take me. I swear I missed a cutscene at the start.
The game just dumps you into “DRAGONLAND” surrounded by living statues out to kill you, the first line of dialogue is:
“At last, DRAGONLAND, I’ve finally made it.”
I have no idea how I got to DRAGONLAND or what significance it holds, but at least I got there??
The main character is kind of a horrible person too. She needs to get to the treasure in the DRAGONLAND TEMPLE for no explained reason other than GOLD so she decides to MURDER this group of people who are only trying to escape DRAGONLAND. She doesn’t even tell them why or even ASK for the key to the gate they are guarding. She just assumes that they MUST ALL DIE.
So I don’t really blame half the enemies in the game for attacking her, she REALLY has it coming.
She seems like the kind of bitch who’d steal your parking space after you waited for some old lady to back out because she NEEDS TO GET TO THE SUPERMARKET.

DRAGONLAND.

I should write an actual review, because despite the plot being terrible and the voice acting being horrible the game is really, really fun. I would thoroughly recommend it.

I also peaked into S4League again to see how much worse it had got. There are still no good maps other than Neden-1 and even more terrible melee weapons.

Anyway, that’s all I’ve got.
