IGNORE ME

Blog: July 18th, 2007

Continue normal human behavior! You know not the basis on which you will be judged by the galactic inquisitor!
Er, um… What I mean to say is we’ve obviously got a new site design, and there are very obviously flaws and missing features and comics that won’t show up. I wish I knew how to [...]

Weekend Thoughts

Blog: August 3rd, 2007

Hey all. I know, it seems as soon as the site launched, the whole train kind of derailed. Been trying to hook up wordpress to the forum unsuccessfully (makes no sense to have comments here, and a message board there,) so I’m gonna put that on hold. Comic update next Monday.

Just saw [...]

Back from Outer Space

Blog: September 17th, 2007

Breakpoint City v4.0 is cursed, I tells ya! Nothing but bad luck since it’s launched. Think I’ve ironed out most of the snags: the tag system is working again, archives aren’t loading two comics at once, dogs and cats are not living together, insufficient hysteria all around.
How have we all been? Good? [...]

Blog: Keepon Keepin’ On

Blog: September 20th, 2007

Note: Until I figure out how to change the RSS to put the category in the title of each update, I’ll be adding “blog” to the title of these posts. You know, just so you can tell when it’s a comic or blog update.
I’m a sucker for impractical applications of advanced technology. Battlebots, [...]

Blog: Our archive system totally rawks

Blog: September 23rd, 2007

You know, with seven some years of comics on the site, finding a specific comic is becoming more needle in a haystack-like with each update. Even when I was on Keenspace (or whatever they’re calling it these days,) our archive system was never really anything to scream about. If you wanted to jump [...]

Blog: Mario Galaxy soundtrack is powerful stuff

Blog: October 19th, 2007

I don’t know about you, but to me, a video game’s musical score plays a large part in determining it’s greatness. A game can be truly awful in every other aspect, but I’ll still play it to hear the ice level’s theme again.
There hasn’t been much talk about it, but Nintendo’s got [...]

Blog: What’s your favorite Breakpoint City comic?

Blog: October 24th, 2007

Over a year ago, we had a thread on the message boards about everyone’s favorite episode of Breakpoint City. I’ve been meaning to add some sort of ranking system to the site ever since. The aim here is to help new readers quickly get to comics that our veteran fans highly recommend.
So for [...]

Sketch: Assume the Party Escort Position

Blog: October 27th, 2007

Been playing a lot of The Orange Box lately. This was originally going to be a sketch from Team Fortress 2, but Portal is so much more fun. Honestly one of the best, funniest games I’ve played in years. It’s short but sweet; like a giant Zelda dungeon as a game.
Almost forgot [...]

Blog/Plug: Bite Sized Morsels of Might

Blog: November 2nd, 2007

Hey! You with the computer! If you’re reading this and it’s Saturday Morning (or Sunday, depending on your city… check your local listings) throw on CBS. If you’re lucky, you’ll be watching Sushi Pack, a new cartoon that our division at AG Properties created.
It’s an energetic action show for kids about a [...]

Blog: What do you think, sirs?

Blog: November 7th, 2007

Hoo boy. Sharon pointed me toward the recently relaunched official site for Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Longtime readers know that I am somewhat of a fan of the show. The fact that there’s new MST3K anything should be cause for celebration. But it’s very clear that things have… changed.
Now, the common trait of [...]

Blog: Fan art, Weekend stuff

Blog: November 8th, 2007

David Davis of Studio Blu drew this awesome picture of Dan! Oof, did not mean to hold onto this pic for so long. I can only assume the best way to make it up to the guy is to plug his site… go there, there’s like three webcomics going, and an army of [...]

Blog: Monday, Monday

Blog: November 26th, 2007

All right, time to end these “Breakpoint City: Updates ??” shenanigans going on.
Folks, let’s try Monday as our scheduled update day. I know I’ve been all over the board lately, but sometimes if I just say it, it helps with my self-motivated deadline. Monday Monday Monday. I will try my best.
Of course, you [...]

Loading… SS Inevitable off the port bow

Blog: December 3rd, 2007

Well, who didn’t see this coming? Realized I needed two more panels than I had.
At least the next comic is pretty.

Sketch: Stare!

Blog: December 5th, 2007

This was entered in a t-shirt design contest. The challenge was to come up with a design featuring the Care Bears that teen-to-young adult guys would willingly wear. Which turns out to be quite near impossible. I was told this didn’t win (not sure what did,) and that my therapy starts on [...]

Blog: You Nauseate Me, ABC.

Blog: December 8th, 2007

They’re selling a $30 DVD now that’s a compilation of all the major animated Christmas specials. Rudolph, Grinch, Frosty… even a few oddball Rankin/Bass specials for good measure. “Hah!” says I, “Who would buy that when they’re on TV for FREE?”
Welp, after catching the holiday trilogy that is The Grinch, Rudolph and Charlie [...]

Blog: A Tablet a Day…

Blog: December 15th, 2007

I am terrible at using drawing tablets. I must have practiced using the thing for years and still can’t get the hang of it. Sketching directly into Photoshop without waiting for a scanner to warm up would be a huge timesaver. (Yes, Breakpoint is still drawn with pen and paper, albeit colorformed together [...]

Blog: Blinded me with Scienteers

Blog: March 2nd, 2008

I suck for not mentioning this sooner, but… Hay ever’buddy! I’m a Scienteer!
No no, not that Tom Cruise thing!! At least, I don’t think so…
Scienteers is a webcomic collective founded by David Davis over at Cosmic Dash. I’m lucky enough to be working with some talented people: HPK, Poinko, Wiggly, Kevin [...]

Blog: Void of nothingness

Blog: March 13th, 2008

Man, has it been a rough couple of weeks. Old Man Winter (and his close personal friends Middle-Aged Lady Ice Storm and Slightly-But-Not-Quite Old Man Lake Effect Snow) are staying put in Ohio this month. The roads here were totally shut down all last weekend from two feet of snow, and only a [...]

Blog: New Site Advertising

Blog: April 1st, 2008

When my comic started way back in 2000, I was on borrowed space. Tripod, Keenspace, Comic Genesis… it was all free, but I had to put up with the ads foisted (is that a word?) upon us. Buying my own hosting back in 2005 finally set the site loose… no more pop-ups, no [...]

Blog: No, Seriously

Blog: April 5th, 2008

So I’m officially sick of Rick Astley.
Hope April Fools day was fun for everyone in internetland. Sorry to burst nobody’s bubble, but no, Progressive will not be sponsoring the site. We’re still ad-free for the moment. Fake ads aside.
What isn’t fake is that loading screen up there. Unfortunately my April Fools [...]

Blog: In the year of 200X

Blog: April 5th, 2008

Japan. They get all the cool stuff.
This is the raddest thing ever. Just picked up “R20 Rockman & Rockman X Official Complete Works”. It’s a major chunk of my childhood condensed into a giant, 300 page art book.
Mega Man (Rockman in Japan) games were my absolute favorite when I was a kid… [...]
