2008-05-24 00:16:00 question
If anyone STILL reads this and will confirm it by sending an e-mail i actually might restart comics!
2007-12-29 18:34:00 happy holidays
though, i doubt anyone still looks into here
2007-10-20 14:50:00 ... (comics)
the explosion is taken from the short animation film "Будет Лсковый Дождь" (There Will Come Soft Rains) made in 1984 by studio Uzbekfilm. It is based on Ray Bradbury's short story with the same name.
2007-10-15 10:54:00 Time Ticks Away
I've just recieved e-mail about my King of the Castle account being put into holiday mode for not deploying. Somehow i thought i still have some time left for that. It sucks as i've climbed quite high and each level here is not as easy to grab as in the bottom of castle.

If i couldn't find time for that, what to say about the comics... I think i'll put some image like "comics no longer being made" instead of the strip tomorrow or something of that sort, that would be fair to the readers
2007-10-02 22:05:00 No Excuse
Right, i was going to make new strips long time ago already, but somehow i keep getting distracted. I even had thoughts lately if it is worth to make them at all if i cannot get on any regular schedule...

Anyway, scripts for next 2-4 episodes were ready long time ago already. I only need to force myself to make them.
P.S. Serj Tankian's is a damn talanted person. I like his solo work very much.
2007-09-17 15:26:00 10th (comics)
Yay, yay, yay. Today's comic is a special supportive for one of most favorite LSNners shows, the Drone Derbies. Drone Derby 4 has recently landed! View last pages of the topic to find the race

We'll return to the storyline in the next comic.
2007-09-15 16:25:00 ...aaand Nineth (comics)
Sorry for delay. Things are a bit better now, i hope to release 2 more strips next week.
2007-08-28 16:11:00 Chatter
Well, some sort of explaining myself...
It's been a while with updates, and this is mostly because other stuff keeps distracting. Also right now i'm a bit ill, nothing serious though, but it's still awfull to be sick. I hope i'll get myself together and make a new strip soon.
Quite some time ago, right after the posting previous one i was dragged into that game. You know, the one that had all that critics acclaiming. Half Life 2. So basically i wasn't paying attention to any other stuff until i finished it.
Although even before that (or after?) i was also "distracted" from making strips by working on "hidden" part of the site. This includes logs and analyzing them and i'm quite happy with it, as i have now exact numbers of people visiting the site, reading stuff... Actually that was one of main reasons why i've moved from posting strips onto ezboard (bad, bad ezboard) to making my own site... fully coded it myself and, though i'm far from being a designer, i'm happy with how it looks. Actually there are still stuff to do with it. For example those links on the left... You might be surprised why i even bother to put them if the only language the comic is done is english... Well, i can give a hint - go to the root of my domain and check out other links. Yeah, i made that one long before, though it doesn't really had as much coding as i already done for lsncomics. But still, i've got more traffic there, than on here.
So back to analyze of logs. I know my auditory now. Not as big as i could fancy, but i pretty much have covered what i could get from ezboard or alliance or other LSN boards; the figures are close to number of people reading those. Much bigger number is all-people-playing-LSN, but for that one site would need a mention in newsletter or at least in links section of official site. While i'm on it, i've got reference in Link Scanner, thanks CZ. Also if I'm talking about links... Do you read Unspeakable Vault (of Doom)?..

Mmm... enough for now, might add more rant when i'll get to upload new comic (this will happen eventually, though no guarantees that it will be any funny). Right now time to make myself some warm tea.
2007-08-20 00:08:00 News Section UP
Hooray. I finally get myself to code this section. Welcome, these are news of this site. Also i'll use it to rant.
Well... TO DO. I think i still need to add a "site is up" newspost in betwean 6th and 7th comics. I need to post why there were no comics this week. And other stuff... Ok, i'm too tired, i'll do this next time.
P.S. Timestamps here are for my local time (GMT+2), but i didn't care much about precise time for older comics, so it's just ezboard posts' times.

Of course, splatter's glasses are organic, it's a defect of english representation that makes word glasses sound as if they are from glass

And congratulations to Dr EPhil, who's got married recently!
2007-08-07 18:10:17 7th (comics)
A new strip after 5 months of hiatus... It took 3 hours to make and 1.5-2 of them were spent on 'nader in first panel. Thanks to akkamo for tips on how shadows should look.
2007-08-06 15:39:00 The Site is Up
This site is published, although not finished. Comics were posted on ezboard thread before.
2007-04-07 22:39:00 Sixx (comics)
One part of strategy (particulary, in playing LSN) is about how much units to send for covering what direction. Numbers do matter.
2007-04-05 13:45:00 Fifth (comics)
I did a special map for it, forcefield is switching on/off fairly. Note how a medic in the bottom does it. Also, i've moved from Myron's adventure story arc to the life of laser marine corps in that area. We'll get back to him later.
2007-03-30 18:56:00 Forth (comics)
I'm experimenting more with art... Yeah, i forgot to darken the suit, so:
(1) suit might be a glowing-in-darkness one.
(2) it was done to highlight Myron
2007-03-27 23:53:00 Third (comics)
There were questions about the map. Yes, that's Burr Wood. There were also questions about connection between 2nd and 3rd panel... Well, grenade takes 6.5 seconds from target notice to explosion, Myron is running north-west from them. Where'll he get to? All fair.
2007-03-25 16:04:00 Second one (comics)
That commie is actually from a hostile group, other than Myron's squad, however Myron's too naive to know that, unlike grunts. By the way, such shooting can theoretically happen in game...
2007-03-23 23:36:00 First strip (comics)
I don't rember now what motivation i had to start doing comics. There were already few done before by other members of LSN community (you can check them out in extras) and i guess, i wanted to make some "hi quality" material... The joke about suits i heard from TOMU in one of our games.
