Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-02-20

  • @cunch Not the taxi, no. It’s that box guy with the eyeballs blasting from out of his head. in reply to cunch #
  • @cunch I’ll likely show the world the results, but I’ll take none of the responsibility for the effects of doing such a thing. It’s bad. in reply to cunch #
  • I’m a romantic at heart, so despite it just being a machine, for Valentine’s Day, I’m making dinner for the fuckbot I made out of scrap. #
  • @enicolle I assuage the Fuckbot’s fears about being made a whore simply by pointing over to Whorebot. Whorebot’s just filthy. in reply to enicolle #
  • New post? I got yer new post right heah!: http://tinyurl.com/c5f3nz #
  • Being reminded why I normally keep comments closed on my various posts. Ignorance is bliss, folks. #
  • Because I’m a masochist, I read over other artist friends’ comment sections, marveling at how few uses of the word “doom” there are. #
  • I dig people liking my work and all, but you go around talking like you “think” I or my characters do and someone’s bound to smack you. #
  • Sometimes, looking over the response I get, I feel like King Theoden in that suiting up scene asking “How did it come to this?” #
  • I, at least, don’t get crushed by a silly monster only to have my daughter avenge me only to deliver a shitty one-liner. #
  • The sheer amount of responses that are using the word “doom” in an ironic sense is staggering. Well done, people. The exit is over there! #
  • Ah, well. Comments are now closed on the ol House of Pies post. I really did like that last Lord of the Rings, though. #
  • @3liza But…I like apes. You, however, have read my emails. I never should have done that to you. Changed you forever. in reply to 3liza #
  • Favorite two words from an earlier conversation: “Black lactation”. Would be a fine metal band name #
  • Watching non-gamers play Flower, gyrating their arms, stress levels skyrocketing as they struggle to fly relaxedly through dream-fields. #
  • @psychomar I left only your post as a sort of head on a stick to ward off possible enemies, man. in reply to psychomar #
  • @warrenellis Feelin’ a bit ‘Father Jack-y” this day, eh? Careful you don’t get the hairy hands. in reply to warrenellis #
  • @cunch Flower’s relaxing enough, until you get to the downed power line areas and you’re suddenly on fire from contacting hot, live steel. in reply to cunch #
  • @cunch Weird. I had just gotten through that episode again yesterday as well! Stop trying to BE me, man. I’m up to DNA now. in reply to cunch #
  • @cunch Nope. You were in the level before it. Before the pain. Before the dream dies. in reply to cunch #
  • @deadzebra Oh, god. All the hand-shaking that goes on at those things. People should be happy enough with a polite bow or a nose wrinkle. in reply to deadzebra #
  • Time to find another sketch to finalize. Taking the elevator down to the archives, suited up for any run-ins with sketchbook goblins. #
  • @3liza I’m a terrible teacher, or so I’ve been told. Still, I firmly believe screaming lessons one inch away from a person’s face is cool. in reply to 3liza #
  • Hammering people slavish enough to need twitter updates on their mobiles is one of the wee perks of using this thing. Wake up, sleepies! #
  • Why complain about something you’ve added to your own list of extraneous needs. Isn’t having to eat, sleep, shit and fuck enough? BEEP! #
  • @KarlChristian Be prepared to go through a shit-ton of banjos, man. in reply to KarlChristian #
  • @KarlChristian Probably easier to down shots of whiskey or something rather than choke down banjo after banjo. in reply to KarlChristian #
  • @cunch Excellent. Doing a bit of that m’self. We can battle. in reply to cunch #
  • @NaomiSummers It’d be more laptops with Wacom tablets or Modbooks in hand, and banjo music, today anyhow. in reply to NaomiSummers #
  • Nice to see Galactica get back to some fun science fiction instead of the pre-ordained, vaguely defined spiritualism nonsense. Robots, man. #
  • @NaomiSummers Your use of complete sentences and speaking on topic is bringing a tear to my eye. Bless you, you wonderful tea-Brit. in reply to NaomiSummers #
  • I miss the days of the show having characters celebrating small victories with more than tears, a punch to the face, and moping. #
  • @NaomiSummers talking about Galactica. What’s this Tom and Jerry business? in reply to NaomiSummers #
  • @Wicabeth It’s fine tea, but it’s easily purchased at the nearest grocery! Thanks for turning me onto it, though. in reply to Wicabeth #
  • Though Valetine’s Day has passed, it’s never too late for romance: http://tinyurl.com/cmh4ba #
  • Valetine Day, yeah. Totally different from Valentine’s Day. #
  • Working on a post about next month’s Australian adventure and my appearances at the Melbourne and Brisbane Supanovas. #
  • Could a couple of Australian followers pipe up so I can get a read on whether or not I should hate you or expect some decency? #
  • @starsnostars You’re actually volunteering as an asshole? Why would you do that? in reply to starsnostars #
  • Of the tiny cross-section that’ve replied, it sounds like a decent lot so far. Still, I’m setting up the auto-turret grid defense. #
  • The turrets will be programmed to detect certain types of behavior, acting upon their presence with terrifying speed. Gonna be cool. #
  • Any ideas for what to program the turrets to watch out for? I’m familiar with the American horror feature set, but what about out there? #
  • Wait. There are Hot Topics in Australia, too? Why the hell did nobody warn me? Does it also have…”ANIME”? Fucking hell. #
  • By the sound of it now, I’ll be doubling up on turrets. Been practicing my technique with Savage Moon, Field Runners and Defense Grid. #
  • Just days after charging me $100 bucks to repair my suddenly broken 360 one week out of warranty, MS announces: http://tinyurl.com/bxj4vb #
  • Now I see what I’m doing wrong: http://tinyurl.com/acz7p4 #
  • The mere existence of such a game is awesome and absurd enough: http://is.gd/jWOF #
  • @emmastory Grow, probably, but it’s definitely not as immediately memorable as the last couple of releases. in reply to emmastory #
  • Sketching out costume redesigns for characters I’ve not touched in a good couple of years. Needs more screws. #
  • In answer to the kind and the viciously eager: No, it’s not for new comics. But don’t worry, even if you don’t see it, I’m working, kids. #
  • I guess it’s flattery of sorts to have slobbering crazies curse you for not doing comics as often as they’d like. Means they care! D’aww. #
  • There’s this idea where if you’re not doing it for all the world to watch, then you’re not really doing anything at all. S’funny, that. #
  • @katarr Me in particular? Damn…I’ve always had a solipsistic streak in me but to have it confirmed adds some pressure. in reply to katarr #
  • Can’t feel my fingers. Must be done drawing for the night/morning. Time to celebrate by screaming at the top of my lungs. #
  • As per usual, my screaming has awakened the congratulatory drawing-elves that wait for me to finish up my masterpieces. Lookit’ em dance! #
  • The dance…it grows uglier, more lascivious. I feel I’ve made a terrible mistake in awakening this ancient evil with my incredible work. #
  • You know, your suggestions about the very real elf problem are just ridiculous and, I have to say, fuckin’ STUPID. This is real life, kids. #
