Speaking of which, Captain America and Thor both get referenced (though the latter only after the end credits). I was surprised at how much I sympathized with Sam Rockwell's Justin Hammer. He was supposed to be a villain, but he had this endearing nerdy schtick going that really worked for him. He was like the low-glamour, jealous version of Tony Stark. The scene where he was just had me laughing so hard. I always find it worrisome if it seems a sequel is going the 'ever more villains/subplots per sequel' route or something similar, as a way to try to up the ante/excitement. Sometimes it becomes so 'busy' everything becomes kind of lost, if that makes sense. Too many cooks, as they say. From what I've read it seemed Ironman2 might be falling into that. I take it you felt it all gelled together? I've heard this, and my friend said this too, but I finally got around to seeing it today and it's just not true. It all pretty much worked as a solid story, there was not too much of anything. Although I did feel the inclusion of S.H.I.E.L.D. felt a bit shoehorned in, but I was prepared for that considering it was the same in the first flick. I'm a bit antsy about the Avengers movie though. Joss Whedon directing a superhero flick featuring a whole bunch of well-known superheroes, played by people like Samuel L Jackson, Robert Downey Jr and Edward Norton? The anticipation level on this is going to rise through the roof and there is no way any film can live up to that.

Yeah, I'm not sure what the problem is either, other than "games traditionally just don't use more memory than this even though they could so there's no reason to change it". Might not be what Nightshape means, but it's pretty much what I'm getting from it.

Aww, crud. Looks like I'm going to have to learn html.

*checks to see what his location says* EDIT: Yep, mine's accurate. The Netherlands... much the same as The Netherworld of the Twisted Nether or the Nether Regions.

I haven't seen it yet (going on thursday), a friend of mine did though and he said it was fantastic, but it suffered a bit from trying to squeeze too much into one movie and that Scarlett Johanssen's character added nothing to the film.

That's true. On several occasions I've heard about brothers and sisters who were separated at a young age hooking up later without knowing. When you actually know it, it becomes a bunch of squick though.

Hell, I can make that and I have Asthma and Bronchitis. I do kinda collapse afterward though.

I'd like to know why whenever he begins to lose an argument he resorts to "You're trolling! I'll report you! MODS!!" The report button is not a tool for threatening people who disagree with you.

Yeah. I didn't make it, I take no responsibility.

The attached pretty much describes my day.

One of the happiest songs of all time. No matter what happens, this song always cheer me up: Eels - A Daisie Through Concrete Ignore the video. It's not part of it.

Have you tried a link exchange? Link exchanges work wonders in the webcomic world. You could try sending an e-mail to some of the not-quite-famous but decently popular webcomics asking for a link exchange. I bet many of them will dig the concept of a classroom comic for and partially by kids. EDIT: I sent an e-mail to the guys from Fleen, the internet's foremost webcomic journalism blog, telling them about your project. They have a stance on usually not plugging comics that have only just started, though, so it might not help. But it never hurts to try.

A friend of mine once brought his brother's PSP to school because his was broken, and he proceeded to go through the files. Among them was a file labeled "Ice Age 2", which had just premiered that week. Turns out, it wasn't Ice Age 2. It wasn't Ice Age 2 at all.

I'm not a big fan of South Park, but freedom of speech and satire for the yay and nobody should ever be threatened for it. It's about time the extremists grow the **** up and stop throwing temper tantrums because someone insulted their religious mommy. On another note, what's the use of using the ignore function to ignore a poster when everyone else's going to end up quoting his posts all over the place and letting threads devolve into bickering with him? It makes me very sad.

This is actually pretty fantastic. I really enjoy it. Do you have a specific update schedule or do you just post them as you get them? Schedules breed loyal readers who always check in on that day, but add time pressure. No schedule leads to people only occasionally checking it though. Nonetheless, I'm adding it to my bookmarks. It's fun.

I read The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. Fantastic book. I love Gaiman's vision.

Cool. Socialist party in Holland just seems to be losing ground. (What? Just 'cause I think lord of flies is a jackass doesn't mean I hate all socialists. I vote socialist party most of the time.)

Pretty good. Think about the speech bubbles though. Try to evenly space everything out. Here's a tip: start with a little text-box you can write in, and then draw the bubble around it's corners. It's not very artistic, but it almost always works.

It's better art than what most webcomics start with anyway. Plus, art's not even the focus. I'd suggest adding back and next buttons if possible, though. They're kind of standard issue webcomic outfitting and makes it much easier to navigate.

See, this is where all your predecessors went wrong and irreparably destroyed the reputation of real socialists. What, praytell, do you mean by this? Really? Okay, how about I say this: Your opinion sucks. Change it. Add a gun and you're the historical socialism-gone-wrong poster boy and do as much damage to real socialists and their ideals as anything and everything else possibly can. In short, you're screwing socialism's chances. I suspect you are singlehandedly responsible for at least a thousand socialists turning away from it.
