The Strip: Let me stop you right there. I do not have a problem with golf, as a matter of fact, I love golf. I am just too poor to play anymore. What I do have a problem with is people who play games as a hobby, look down their nose at those of us whose hobbies are gaming (be that on a computer, on a table top, with cards, or on a videogame system). Now this conversation did happen at my work … sort of. It fell way short of this, and the character is an amalgam of people. The guy who I had this conversation with was more messing with me, but I wanted to address all the looks and head shakes when people find out that I am taking a vacation day when a game I want comes out.
Gaming: Guess … yep, BF3 y’all. I don’t want to dig into it too much, as I am going to do a strip about the it for Friday, in all likelihood. Let me say this, It’s fantastic. I think I am falling in love.
[Edit] Had to quit playing for the second time today because it seems EA’s servers crashed. Houston…we have a problem. This never happened day one on any C.O.D. games…thats all I’m sayin’.
Music: Same as Monday I’m afraid.
TV/Movies: I just friggin love this time of year. Every show is about Halloween. I cant get enough of it. Even shows I don’t like.
Life: Had a fantastic day off today. Played BF3 for the majority of it (jumping back on after I post), and then had a nice dinner with the fam. I love these days so.
Happy Wednesday,
Javis
I know I’ve had this conversation about my toy collection too. It pisses me off, because when people don’t get why you’re into something, they assume there’s something wrong with you. Meanwhile they’re into cars or stamps or making yarn people with googly eyes or paper mache organs. Everyone has a thing that’s not necessarily “adult”. Now go back to playing with your little balls
I’m going to write a letter!
Here’s my only question, Javis: How do you make time to play??? Three kids, a wife, and a job have sapped my gaming time down to almost zero. Give me some advice!
Its not easy. I take a vacation day for the big ones, and just play when everyone goes to sleep…provided I’m not working on a comic. I don’t sleep much.
Maybe that is why I don’t have kids..
Yeah, I guess sleep would be the sacrifice. I’m trying to decide between buying Dead Island or Arkham City. I might rent Dead Island and give it a whirl before I purchase. I read one of your comments on the game. That sucks that it doesn’t change from day to night in the game. That aspect alone might deter me. Would’ve been a cool thing to add.
Both are a great buy. I would rent Arkham though as its primarily single player and Dead Islands draw is the co-op. There really is nothing like driving a pick-up truck filled with 3 of your pals through a zombie infested resort and splashing those reanimated cadavers all over the hood…*wistfully looks out window*
That last panel perfectly captures both Rage Face and Troll (Cool Guy) Face.
Problem, golfers?
Thank you sir. Its my favorite panel:)
Judge not, lest ye be judged, sentenced and executed! Well done, Javis! Lots of great faces in this one!
Thanks Mark, really trying to improve that aspect of my art.
Though I don’t understand what you wrote…I see you posted my comic with a link on your site. Thank you:)
