okay, few weeks ago i left without so much as an explaination.  well, this here is a topic announcing my comeback announcing my departure.

basically, i play too many videogames.  i have a backlog of about 78 so i made a vow to NEVER buy a new game until that backlog is complete.  i beat 8 games in 2 weeks... then realized that the last 70 were all fucking rpg's.  i also have like 30 million comic book ideas and 200 unfinished pages sitting in front of me; my ink bottles haven't been touched in months, my brushes are crusty and dry, and corel painter is trying to delete itself because the last time i used it was in january.

so, i'm working on one thing at a time right now and i refuse to indulge in any of my other past times (playing games, drinking, sailing, gay not gay sex) until i finish my children's book Girls With Hammers which shouldn't be too difficult because it's a 28 page long picture book drawn and colored with crayons.

yeah.

So are you back or still gone?

gone... until i finish my book meaning i'm probably gone forever.

hook me up with a copy of that when you're done

Well.... shit. This sucks. I kinda wanted to join you if you where serious about doing Mother comics.


Btw, thanks for making me play those games (I played through the first two for the first time while you where gone).

I'll be printed a limited number (like... 25) which I'll be handing out signed and numbered for free on gamingw.  The entire thing will be available free online and printed by request.  The book is "wide" format at 5"x10".

It's pretty horrible so I'm just giving a warning.  I'm doing it out of fun and to make a statement on how pointless certain "arguments" are.  But I digress, I won't be returning until I finish it.  This is my last post until then.

I was basically doing a direct conversion of Mother 3 based on a translation guide but never got around past the first couple of pages.  If you have any ideas for something more original/whatever is on your mind then drop me a mail.

Ahahaha, Heavily Armored Pokey. Someone needs to do an MS paint of Pokey the penguin in that thing.

you get a free navy.mil email address? excellent

well see ya i guess

oh no! Marcus, you have always been one of the most interesting dudes here, if not just because of your excellent stories! I hope you don't leave forever, but good luck with getting everything done that you have planned!

Marcus, I really miss your cool screenshot threads.
