Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2006 8:52 am Post subject: The return of the geek |
 |
(maybe the return was of the greek, I do not know.)
Alas, for some time I was absent... My PC broken, myself employed in an outors exursions company, the exams period, all universe seemed to me hostile and poised to do one and only thing. Render me miserable. HAh Sais I! Your plan has failled multiverse! I am ok now, and so is my PC. And I get the bonus to have many, many episodes of BMC to read...
I shall restart posting things as soon as I read everything -might take some days due to another small problem that goes by the name of Civilisation 4, but I am sure this is not the end of it...

Good to have you back, we were already worrying. (Even if you sound like a supervillain: "There's only one little problem to deal with: Civilisation! Muahahaha!"
I hope exams went well. |

thnx for the greeting, everyone...
Roman, I must remarc, has a very keen sence of observation... Although I thought I was subtle in my expressing my will to destroy earth and the multiverse, I must be a rather sereotypical vilan boosting everywhere that I will destroy the world mouahahahahahahahahah, and thus I am now unmasked.
Has noone remarked in the comics that one of the 2 in between episodes, there was one that did not correspond to the comments? and that we saw again later? what was that about?

Well, my 'system' of numbering is rather...uh, random. Over the course of the first chapter, I managed to leave some numbers out completely, had others indexed with letters, and even had them in the wrong order. During the switch between chapters, I actually managed to have two strips (one for chapter 1 and one for chapter 2) that had the same name, and obviously, they got archived wrong. 
I'll try to get that fixed, in the meantime, here's the 'lost episode':

I must say old champ, that I feel rather happy about the way you returned the situation. From really-anoyed-fan-that-was-not-given-his-hard-earned-comic, I became a satisfied-fan-that-was-finally-given-his-comic.
Now: I would like to point out that there seem to be a total lack of mathematical and practical usefulness in the way you sort the archive. Have we already discussed the topic? Yes, I think we did. Proposal: Titles and numbers in every comic.
By the way I have not yet wished a happy new year with lots of health and b-movieness to you all, and failled to wish Roman good luck in his new home! well good luck Roman!

Thanks a lot! And a happy, belated good new year to you, as well.
Well, my system of numbering is actually perfectly simple and logical. Each strip has a 3-digit number x. The following strip then has the number x+y, with y ranging from - 1 to + 5. Special strips have indexed letters, following a simple system:
- if a strip is a bonus strip, it gets indexed 'b'
- if a strip was entered into the continuity later, it gets indexed 'b'
- if a strip is a second version, replacing an earlier one, it gets indexed 'b'
- sometimes, strips get indexed 'b' for no reason
If a strip would get indexed 'b', but there is already a strip of the same number indexed 'b', the strip gets another index. Or another number. At random.
Halloween strips are named 'buh'.
You see? Simple and absolutely logical. (Disclaimer: 'logical' in this context refers to 'Roman's logic' (tm). Roman's logic (tm) is not compatible to OEM logic, any third party logic or 'Common Sense' (tm).)
Seriously, though, we are probably switching to some form of automatized updating soon, and from then on, strip numbers should be in unbroken sequence. |

And you don't understand that, Alexander? Geez.

Haha! I am reminded of a prof at the university -any resemblance to Dr.Prof is a coincidence by the way- As all of you can see it is a simple matter to prove that (insert a very very very incoprehesible thing here- something like e powered i and all that plus 1 equals to 0 and thus fictional numebers are well defined allong with the extencion of neperian calculations.) Indeed this was logic to him. And indeed his logic seems not really compatiable to the common mathematical logic. Proof of that can be found if you read my exams papers:
Question: prove that fictional numebers are well defined allong with the extencion of neperian calculations.
My answer: It is obvious that as e powered i and all that plus 1 equals to 0, fictional numebers are well defined allong with the extencion of neperian calculations. I will not prove that e powered i and all that plus 1 equals to 0 as it is trivial.
You might note that I answered in the same way the proffesor taught me.
I really fail to see why he gradded me thta bad.
What? what are you saying? me? not having studied enough? How dare you!
(by the way, Maria and Michelle, I must informe you that the habit of hiding in gifts that has so long been linked as a Greek custom is now outdated... -as a clarification to your comic. By the way I found the idea of greeks hiding in everything you might be offered hilarius. The greek hiding ciospiracy... Might even write a small stroy about it...)

Or as Cassandra put it: 'I distrust the Greeks when they come bearing themselves in gifts.' 
Strangely, the fear of Greeks hidden in presents is not a recognized phobia...however, the fear of Greek words is! It's called 'Hellenologophobia'. Which, conincidentally, means that if you suffer from that phobia, you can't tell anybody of it because you fear the word! |

No time No time No time!
Heck! how did I got that mangled up in things?
A) No more net connection! KSO! as any aniome fan would say.
B) Working SUCKS. Big time. Sorry for the language.
C)Beeing Ill does the same as working.
D) Having suddently resposibilities for some directing exercises is kinda cool.
E) Saw many Greek B-movies. A gore splatter zomby one just got to the theaters. God: it isa named "The Evil" Trailler announced: (spooky voice: where will YOU be when EEEEEVIL comes?" Going to see it right now.
F) My promissed work here is posponed as any worth its salt b-movie matterial, due to some lack in fundation. Keep up the good work.
G)By the way it is a shame greek b-movies cannot be translated. A whole new -or rather old- universe of paranoia, bad acting and even worse directing. Senario? hahahahahahahaha. Yeah right. Gotta love them!

Well, if they are true B-movies, they can only get better by bad translations... |
