Title: When you are bored...
Post by: Pyro MX on July 24, 2006, 08:18:41 pm
Stuff happens. I was playing around Inkscape, I wanted to do something but nothing came out. So I tought about doing a little comic. You will surely spot similarities with Little Gamers. It's a very similar concept. I decided to put guys similar to the ones you see on road signs. Initially almost no details were on the folk's body, but I added some hair and hands lol. It's still very basic. It was just for fun. I might do some in a while, when I feel for it lol.

Warning: PS3 fanboys, you might not like this comic.

Note: I am not a Nintendo fanboy. Up to now, I like Nintendo's console best, and PS3 worst. Don't say "oh you must have bought every console from Nintendo", I own a XBox. I have my reasons, and it's not because "I don't like Sony". Try to have fun in here.

Warning #2: Bear in mind I was really bored when doing this.

Note #2: Enjoy. And comments are welcome.

I wonder whether the controllers will appear on our beloved PCs.

Doubt it. Far too 'niche' if it's non-standard; I mean, it's a control system that's radically different from anything else, you'd have to program specially for it.

Well I'm glad that I have brought some laughs in there! :) Looks like I'll have to do it again sometimes heh!

Maybe you don't know, but at Sony's E3 press conference, one of the guys in the presentation actually said "...new features like real time... weapon change!" when talking about Genji 2.

Actually, one of the old Sidewinders from Microsoft had a tilt sensor in it. As fot the PS3 controller, they integrated a tilt sensor too - but it doesn't come close to what the Wii controller can do. Not to mention that they removed the rumble from the controller (some say that the controller's rumble was interferring with the sensor, others say it is because of the Sony/Immersion lawsuit). By the way Decker, only the first PS3 "controller" you shown was a fake. The second one is the real one. And it is a USB port - the PS3 has 7 of them I think.

But for PC, some done some interesting stuff with custom accesories - small one-hand controller and gyroscopic mouse for example.

Well, maybe I'll do another comic by the end of the week, who knows? :nervous:

Woah I really wasn't expecting that reaction lol :shaking:! Don't worry, I'll do more. But I must say, it may not be on a regular basis. It may be one a week, one a month, one a year, it will depend of the ideas I have lol!  But I'll do more :), I'm really glad you like it!

Title: Re: When you are bored...
Post by: Pyro MX on August 02, 2006, 08:26:23 pm
Oh I think I'm gonna continue making them! Up to now I'm having fun doing it! But to quote myself, "it may not be on a regular basis. It may be one a week, one a month, one a year, it will depend of the ideas I have". For now, one a week seems fine, but I cannot promise anything. If the video game industry continues to be funny, that you like the comic, that I have time for it and that I don't explode because of stress, (wow lots of variables here lol) then I should be able to continue.

I noticed something else...

In comic #1, the one guy says the PS3 has a BBQ feature (Obviously a joke).  In #4, the other guy is frying eggs on the first guy's PS3.  Intentional connection or do I have waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much free time on my hands?

Don't go too close from my window I could throw something out of it lol!

I know I usually put the comic on monday, but I don't have the necessary... "components" to put it up. If possible I will get them tomorrow and do the comic. If not, well filler time... I have a little something that could be placed while I get the stuff I need.
Title: Re: When you are bored...

No, it's not flash. I don't need it. Don't ask for what it is, you will not have it lol!

Lol, I love them all - hilarious :D

*feels tinge of pride at his HLP station design being used :D*

Heh heh, I didn't know at first if I would put it on because I tought that maybe you didn't want it to show up in there for some reason lol! Great design btw  :yes:

As for the next comic, it should be ready tonight. It should be bigger than the previous ones. And if it was ever going to be hosted somewhere, which for the moment I don't really care about it, I have a host for it. I think it would be too much to ask to have HLP host such a small thing.
Title: Re: When you are bored...
Post by: Tyrian on August 22, 2006, 11:39:30 am
I know that HLP has a policy of deleting posted images after 30 days, but you can put in a request at the "HLP Request" thread to have the images in this thread saved.  Have you done that?

I would just hate to see part of the series magically vanish...
Title: Re: When you are bored...
Post by: Pyro MX on August 22, 2006, 11:47:19 am
Oh don't worry, all the images are stored on my FTP. I also always keep'em on my computer. When the time comes, I'll put up an archive so nothing is missed.  :) It will be more conveniant than browsing trough all those pages isn't it?

WHY haven't I seen these before?

The comics have been fun reading so far. More so than most comic strips in news papers around here... but on the other hand, newspaper strips don't have HLP forumites in them, so...

Now you have introduced the Carl, Air Ducts, HLP station... please also bring in the hyperintelligent shade of blue. I've always wondered how it looks. And some Hard Light Monkeys Primates can never harm a comic (I hope no Primate saw that little slip... :nervous:)...

It's going to be interesting what will happen next... Did the poor PS3 dude with slippers survive his encounter with Carl? Chances are small, but on the other hand, thousands of forumites have survived a direct hit by multiple BFGreens...

I see the first episedoses are missing... here's a temporary archive (http://pmxa.spouing.com/roadsign/tempArchive.html) - I'll do a more elaborated one when I can.

"please also bring in the hyperintelligent shade of blue. I've always wondered how it looks. And some Hard Light Monkeys Primates can never harm a comic"

I don't know how they look either :( . As for the Primates, well I'll think about it - I don't want to draw fire on this topic if something goes wrong with them.

Yes, the PS3 dude survived. You'll see him in the next comic. He was lucky tho hehe! Stay tuned  :) I have my material now! I can't do it right now, I have to go buy some stuff - but I'll do it when I'm back later t'night.

I've always wanted to ask this:  I assume the all black guy is Dark Hunter.

If that's right, then who is the white/grey guy?

And LOL at panel #9...  For some reason, I find that line hilarious...   :lol:

And oh yes, never stop making these.  They are great!

Post by: Pyro MX on August 31, 2006, 08:44:45 pm
Yes, the all-black dude is Dark Hunter - altough Herra Tohtori gave me the idea of putting the blue shade in.

The grey/white one is just a character I made. I must say, in the first comic, I tought a lot about my brother when doing it - the first comic was kind of a caricature of one of those endless debates we had on the Wii/PS3. The character itself does not represent my brother in any form except from liking the PS3, tho.

Next one should come up next week, I should have enough time. It will be shorter than this one.

Yup, it's kinda hard to see but theres 'Meanwhile at Sony' in the top right corner of the last pane. ;)

These are great, though my firm favourite is still the second one, but enjoying all of them :D

Triton class cruiser wouldn't make much sense since Triton is a freighter.

Trinitron class cruiser, on the other hand, creates a connection to certain company which holds the Trinitron brand name... I'll let you dig out that company's name, though it shouldn't be too difficult to even guess.

I believe it's completely intentional...

Well, to answer your questions, I don't really mean to put necessarly the new guys before the old ones, and it's  not because I find somebody more important than an other - I don't know everyone on HLP. It's been a year since I registered on HLP and I sticked mainly in the Art section. That said, Thunder was there in one of the early comics.

Don't be sad, my fellow HLPers! I can't promise a spot for everybody, and I didn't know so many ppl actually felt that way.

I agree with the Sony bashing, ever since the PS2, Sony's gone downhill on the console side. However, some of the games (can't remember any off the top of my head) that are released for PC are pretty good. I personally like the Spyro series from the PSOne, but haven't had the honour of playing the later ones.

I meant that I thought Hunters used fuel rod cannons (while they weren't beating nearby enemies into bloody pulp with their bigass shield hand thingsies).

If course Spartans use Assault Rifle (or Battle Rifle, if AR is not usable). Although killing a Hunter is easier with a 12.7 mm pistol.... :drevil:


I wouldn't count Fuel Rod Cannons as "teeny weapon".

Although I also wouldn't count SAKO TRG rifles as "teeny weapons" either... :lol: They are also used as real military snipers.... ;)

1. Yes, you posted at an interesting time, and I thought you were talking to me about Fuel Rod Guns.

2. Only in Halo 1 were you able to shoot a Hunter in the gut or back with the pistol and kill it in one shot. Why they didn't keep it that way, I dunno, but they should have.

3. I never said fuel rod guns were teeny weapons, I was talking about the itty-bitty hunting rifles....  :P

If it's a fight between Spartan and I, I'd win soooo easily (he's gonna disagree :D). I am a hunter, a stalker... he's a Spartan, a soldier. I think I'd be victorious.


Back on topic: Did you make up Infinium? I've never heard of them...

No, I did not make up Infinium. Infinium Labs is a company that is supposed to (I say supposed to because it seems they don't) develop a video game console called the "Phantom". It's like a PC that you can plug on your TV to download/rent games directly on it. This (http://phantom.net/home.html) is their website (oddly, the banner shows people playing N64..., and this (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/06/01/infiniums-name-is-now-phantom-entertainment/) should give you an idea of what the whole thing is. I think that it's been 3 or 4 years that they said it was coming "This summer!" or something like that.

That said, Elites rules.

Carl long ago became the generic name for Shivans.

Besides, it's much closer to one year, perhaps less. He lurked in Hard Light with random decloaking and attack for a long time. May still be there, just not talking.

First Response FTW!

So now there's an evil guy walking around trying to usurp the good guy's role...  But how did he survive the shot?  And is the guy standing over you supposed to be Command, or the guy's friend?  I smell maybe a hint of GTI/GTVI influence with that "classified" bit.

@Spartan:  You missed...

I made the comics again!  :D

I wouldn't say that the guy is still walking if you ask me. That said, from the point of view you were looking at the guy when he got shot, you don't know exactly where the bullet went through. As for who was looking at him and other stuff, you'll find out in the other comic.

Title: Re: When you are bored...
Post by: Pyro MX on November 19, 2006, 05:30:05 pm
Yes of course, you can pm it to me!

By the way, I have a little something to say. I've been asked by a friend a little while ago why I haven't made an independant website for my comic (well I think it's what he asked me - memory fails sometimes hehe). The reason is simple, the comic wouldn't live without HLP. What I do is a comic that is centered on video games, computer world etc etc, but is focused for the HLP folks. And as you have noticed, it also features HLP stuff. I appreciate focusing it on HLP, and I hope you do, too.

So no, my comic will never go independant. It will stay here, except the archive, which is not located here. It's kind of a community comic. So if you have found a cool post, thread or ideas, don't be afraid, send'em to me, and I'll look it out. Careful tho, don't spam or send me everything that is on HLP lol!
Title: Re: When you are bored...
Post by: Tyrian on November 20, 2006, 11:30:34 am
This comic has become a little staple of the community.  I think it's great that it will stay local.  Keeping it local allows us to contribute directly to the comic too.  It lets everyone here at HLP get a little bit of the spotlight and be immortalized in HLP history.





Besides, I don't want to travel too far to stalk you Pyro...  :drevil:

Note: It is not in my intent to personnally insult anybody here on HLP. I do this comic for fun, I make this so we can all laugh a bit once a week - I do not personally attack anyone. If you feel that I have gone too far somewhere, that you feel insulted, hurt or uncomfortable by what I am putting in this comic, don't hesitate to tell me. I don't want to cause trouble nor to hurt anybody. I'll put the episode out of circulation, if needed.

Lol!  It's a good thing I never go anywhere without wearing full body armor!  :p

But if we diced up the killer and fed him to Carl, then why is the guy still so jumpy?

*Wonders if this is a plot to get rid of me*

Well, the guy is a bit stupid as you probably noticed. And even if he knows that the killer is no longer there, he's still afraid of being killed. It's a little paranoid phase.

Oh no, don't worry there's no plot to get rid of you.  :rolleyes: :lol:

 :jaw: Please tell me you're joking.

Well, if he means the two main characters, (the white and grey ones), no, they aren't based on any HLP member since that at the very beginning, when I did the first comic, I didn't have the intention of even making a second one  :lol:, so because the first comic featured video games stuff rather than HLP stuff, I didn't make the two main dudes based on HLP members.  And the white one isn't me  :D.

But if I had to give them a name, based on a HLP member, I don't know who they would be  :lol:. I'll have to think more on that. That said, I don't think that I will give the two main characters a HLP member to associate them with - they are what they are since the very beginning and I think that changing them or associating them with a HLP member would kind of kill them - and what I mean by killing them is that they could be changed too much and we wouldn't recognize them as how we do right now.

Well, I hope you understand my explanation, my english isn't that good as you probably noticed  :lol:

There was an HLP movie concept art that had doors as thread if I remember right. I should try to find that back.

I dunno if there's a way to reach Colonol Dekker, because I know he is away and I'd like to send him this strip. Is he reachable by email? If somebody has some info, please PM me!  :)

I'm guessing that panel 5 is the music from the main hall of Inferno R1. 

And it's so nice to see Carl get a present for Christmas.  He's only misunderstood.

And who is the guy in panel 4?  And what is he holding?

R1 Mainhall? Uh-uh, I got it from Woo himself that's the Galatea track. You can also check the tabling and VPs.
Title: Re: When you are bored...
Post by: Snail on December 31, 2006, 02:58:30 am
Actually, it's not the ambient from 'Darkside', it's the Ambient from Worlds Apart (another FS1 mission track), and not the music from the FS1 Mainhall. The FS1 Mainhall was actually called 'title'. The Inferno R1 Mainhall is called Galatea, I suspect because the original player ship was the SOC Galatea, but it was later changed to the Independence, though the music name was not changed.

I'm a little bit of two through four.  I'll sometimes try them out, but I did get up at 3AM to buy my GameCube.  But I did wait for a price drop of my PS2. 

And I still only get the first part of the last comic...But maybe I don't want to get it either...  :nervous: :ick:

Oh, Pyro...I'm back after a week off...You can never get rid of me... ;7

BTW, that trick with the air mail box to Australia labeled "Unlimited HLP Comics" was really mean... :(

But nice.

It depends of the magnitude of the crash. Usually, when Macs crashed on me, it was either a General Error, or it said "Le programme a quitté inopinément" (can't say it in english, I never saw the error in that language and I highly doubt that they even use an equivalent).

We got an ugly console error once. But I think it's because the Mac has been victim of violence (not from me, don't worry. The only computer I remember hitting on, is my old 486. Heck, it survived even that) of some sort... I don't know...

Well, I didn't make a comic last week because I was (and still am) installing Gentoo Linux on my computer. Since it's my first time doing it and that I decided to manually configure my kernel for optimal performance, it took the whole week to make the base working (like theconsole, framebuffer (with 1024x768 splash screen :cool:), sound, X, alsa and other stuff). Now that everything is set up and working, I'll have GNOME (and no, I'm not looking -back- at KDE. Don't bug me with it until KDE4 is out) installed. So as soon as Inkscape and my comics are back on the hard drive, I'll have another one up!

#42! Season 1 finale!
(http://pmxa.spouing.com/external/roadSignComic42.png)

Well, this is it. Season one is over. What now? First of all, time for the thanks. Thank you (yes, you!) for watching the comic, thank you for the ones who starred in the comic, you were fantastic! And sorry if I mistreated you! :P Thank you Flipside for pinning the topic and thank you HLP for "hosting" my little comic! You all make me want to continue this comic! If I forget somebody, thank you!  :)

I'd like to especially thank my friends and my parents who helped me hold on in the past couple of months, who were a bit rough, to say the least. Thank you!

And here's the "What now?". Is it the end of RoadSign? No, it is not. It could have been though, I must admit.  Season 2 will not resume immediately. I will first take a break then I will do some work on the designs. Since the comic, at first, wasn't intended to continue after the first couple of ones (heck, I wasn't even planning on doing more than one lol!), I didn't "strategically" place the path intersections when drawing the characters, making it very difficult for me to modify their poses. I will re-draw them with more efficiency and maybe add a couple of tweaks here and there to the comic. But hey, I won't say everything! Also, the comic will not have the same release schedule. One a week was fine for me at first, but it didn't get long that my brain was unable to produce the juice I needed to last long. I don't have a precise schedule in mind, it may be one a week or twice a month, I don't know yet.

And now for the cherry on the sundae: the following zip file contains the entire first season, encapsulated in a small and convenient viewer, so you can watch them without leaving the page! It also contains a wallpaper (in various resolutions) to decorate your desktop. And don't worry, I'll put the package on the archive, so don't stress about limited quantities  :P! Click here (http://pmxa.spouing.com/external/season1.zip)!

Well, that's it folks!

Last thing, what were your favorite moments in the comic? :)

Windows ME 2. So that's why Vista looks so... familiar.

Of course!  It all makes sense now!  Bill Gates must have finally got his time machine working!  He must have thought he could go back in time to fix Windows ME using modern technology!  That's why we have Vista!!!

That's pretty good Pyro, and pretty true too.  :lol:  There's no end to the problems I had with ME.  Nice work in voicing everyone's (I'm sure), collective pain. :D

The only reasons Vista is selling:

1. Halo 2 PC

2. 64-bit compatible

3. It's "hip"

4. Halo 2 PC

5. It has a lot of shiny features

6. It's new

7. Bill Gates "fixed" ME

8. Halo 2 PC

9. It has a lot of shiny features

10. a) Halo 2 PC
      b) It has a lot of shiny features

 :lol:

<sarcasm> (for those whose sarcasmometer has been overloaded or drained of battery power)

You're all wrong there, and I'll prove it to you! Those can't be the real reasons it's selling because:

-Halo 2 works on Windows XP
-XP Pro is available in 64-bit but it isn't much use yet anyway so no one except professionals who need the fullest use of 64bit processors bother with it
-Hipness is arguable so I can't say anything on that, but I have serious doubt of Vista's hipness after trying it for some time.
-XP is shiny too if you really want it to be, and it doesn't require 2-3GB RAM to do so... but most people have no need for shininess of that magnitude so no one wants to bother with it. Also, Linux 3D desktops (Compiz/Beryl) are way more shiny than Aero. And unsurprizingly, they don't need 2-3 GB memory to work well.
-It's not newer than latest Linux distros! Ha!
-Gill Bates fixing ME is like George Bush junior single-handedly fixing Iraq, and just as useful for the rest of the world.

</sarcasm>

I shall now reveal the only reason why Vista "sells": Microsoft sells only that for OEM PC manufacturers, and when normal people buy computers, they buy OEM boxes and they cannot buy them with anything else than some version of Vista any more.

Damn de facto monopoly/cartel conspiracy between OEM manufacturers and Microsoft... Microsoft being the only commercial PC OS manufacturer, and OEM manufacturers consenting to pre-installing crap and semi-ready operating systems on their boxes. :ick:

I suspect that those who build their own rigs will install and use XP as their primary Windows OS for a rather long time to come. In fact I think that DX10 might be about the only reason why Vista might be worthwhile for people who want to play DX10 games, but even they would likely keep XP around for playing those games that simply don't work yet with Vista drivers.

I'm personally thinking of skipping Vista entirely and using XP/Linux combination until Microsoft either somehow makes Vista more appealing with service packs, or until they release the next Windows. And perhaps this time they will really make a new OS like they claimed Vista would be, instead of just re-naming and hiding things that work just as stupidly as before. :rolleyes:


Hunter - It doesn't surprize me that Vista is running without problems; it's just that so does my XP, and it does without wasting as much resources as Vista. And honestly, the "features" offered by Vista aren't really much of an improvement from XP. Certainly not what M$ hyped Vista to be.

Not that I know of, but I suppose that will eventually come forth as well... if not on XP, it'll likely work with Wine at some point. :lol:

Besides, OpenGL is about to have a face-lift (version 3.0) as well towards having some DX10-like properties. :)

Question: How can Halo 2 be played on an XP machine?
Title: Re: When you are bored...
Post by: Herra Tohtori on September 08, 2007, 02:52:36 pm
By searching the razor 1911 patch on Google... if I remember correctly, it involves installing a few libraries on game directory and using a little altered launcher. Apparently, the patch itself is not technically illegal (although it undoubteldly pisses Microsoft off to no end).

It's pretty easy to find, too.

And at any rate, Falling Leaves is developing a more "official" way to play Halo 2 on XP machine more reliably, apparently there's (been) some compatibility issues with the razor1911 patch, but I don't know too much about them.

At any rate, I did try it just for the kicks (unactivated version of Cairo Station), but the game is not very optimized (just like Combat Evolved) and while my GPU (GF7600GT factory overclocked) could deal with it pretty easily, the processor/memory (AMD64 Athlon 3200+ coupled with 3GB of DDR400 memory, running at 220 MHz for a lousy 10% overclocking that my computer allows with ClockGen) apparently forms a bottleneck on it so I won't even bother getting it activated. Besides I've already played the game on XBox a couple times (in the army of all places... playing the campaign on co-op mode was a common pastime there... :drevil:) so I won't really need to have it on my PC, especially as it doesn't look nearly as good as it should with those system requirements. IMHO, not worth the trouble unless you're a real Halo enthusiast... :rolleyes:
Title: Re: When you are bored...
Post by: spartan_0214 on September 08, 2007, 06:47:29 pm

I didn't like Halo 2 much - except for the multiplayer. And the ending... gosh the ending... There should have been one more mission before the creds. But instead we get a "GO BUY THE SEQUEL AND A XBOX 360" spit in the face, literally. I don't mind sequels, as long as it is not executed like this.
Title: Re: When you are bored...
Post by: spartan_0214 on September 09, 2007, 06:02:38 pm
I dunno, I enjoyed the end of Halo 2. It's obvious that Microsoft/Bungie did that deliberately, but IMHO it was a good place to end the game. After all, it did end similarly to Halo:

"Halo. It's finished."
"No, I think we're just getting started."

vs.

"Master Chief? What are you doing here?"
"Sir, finishing this fight."

I think it ended rather abruptly, but cliffhangers at the end of a sequel aren't uncommon. Look at Star Wars Episode II, Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest, and many others. The second of a trilogy 9 times out of 10 ends in an abrupt cliffhanger. Theatrically, it's rather appealing. What is it Gene Wilder once said? "The suspense is killing me. I hope it lasts." That's exactly how Halo 2 ends.
Title: Re: When you are bored...
Post by: Pyro MX on September 09, 2007, 10:04:20 pm
Halo 2, unless I'm terribly mistaken here, was intended to be the one that closes the Halo series. That's why the ending was so bad.
Title: Re: When you are bored...

You are terribly mistaken. Halo 3 was always meant to end the story.

Title: Re: When you are bored...
Post by: Dark Hunter on September 10, 2007, 11:23:43 pm
I thought the "arc" was understood, seeing as we have at least one confirmed Halo game coming out after Halo 3 (but taking place before Halo 1 in the chronology).

Post by: Pyro MX on September 11, 2007, 06:24:28 am
Okay I was wrong (although I have read that Bungie has cut the last 3 missions from Halo 2) - but I won't change my opinion: Halo 2's ending was horrible. Why?

Yes, Halo 1's ended with a fairly obvious sequel clue. However, the game itself was over: all the enemies are dead, the big thing blew up, I - was - through - with - Halo. There was nothing left to do in Halo 1 - I felt that the game was over - even with a sequel in the mind, the chapter was closed.

On the other hand, Halo 2's felt incomplete. I mean okay you stopped another Halo for firing, but all the others have received some kind on signal that will doom us all, the covenant is on fire because of a rebellion, Cortana is being held captive by the big flood stuff, you are on a ship back to earth to do everything possible to save everybody, there was PLENTY of butt-kicking left to do. There SHOULD have been at least one more mission before the creds - maybe beating everybody on the ship, meeting with the Arbitor or something, finally: accomplishing something in the whole chapter! But you don't! It ends there right there, and I felt I haven't accomplished anything in the whole game because I just didn't have the chance to!

I don't say that Halo 2 should have closed the door on everything, but at least they could have done something to make the player felt they have finished the game! I don't know about Pirates of the Caribean, I haven't seen the last 2 ones. But at least, when you go see a film, it doesn't cost 400$ for a console to see it all end.

I don't plan to buy a Xbox 360 just for Halo 3 - but my mind would have sure been more at rest by at least closing the Halo 2 chapter properly instead of finishing nothing.


*GASP*

Since when did I put it "above" anything?  I said it is godly, which is true.  I didn't say it was the only game in existence that is godly, as there are several others I'd qualify as such.  Besides, how anyone could directly compare a peripheral-based rhythm game and an open-source PC space simulator title is rather beyond me. :p

It didn't actually blew up. It just... stopped working. But if I were in very bad mood, which was nearly the case when I plugged my computer back up and found that the network card had a heart attack, it could really have blown up.

It's actually a sort of hatchet job on somebody else's work. In this case, adapted to represent the final moments of a certain FS2 ship that hopefully we can all figure out.

If we can't, it's the Sath. The first Sath, during High Noon.

Quebec region. :) That said, up to now, no way to recover the lost data unless I put my partition in jeopardy. Yay. However, I still got the last 2 comic's SVGs, so I should be able to continue without too much problems.
Title: Re: When you are bored...
Post by: Pyro MX on March 20, 2008, 01:15:59 pm
Well, after data recovery, I've recovered a lot of stuff, but I cannot recover vector drawings, so I lost all this year's comics.

What does it mean? Well, I'll have to re-do the canevas, and I'll take this opportunity to do some tests'n'tweaks to the comic.

And since it's been a while since I've done any, the creative juice should have regenerated.

I don't know if your PC is new enough, but RAID 1 is always a good idea. (dual mirror drives)

If you have an ATA HDD, you can get this (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=22191&vpn=SD-ATA133R&manufacture=Syba), but if you have SATA your motherboard probably has RAID anyway.
Title: Re: When you are bored...
Post by: Asuko on March 20, 2008, 09:50:13 pm
He'd need 2 HDDs unless it works under different partitions on one HDD, but yeah.
Title: Re: When you are bored...
Post by: colecampbell666 on March 21, 2008, 10:29:42 am
No, he needs 2. The whole point of RAID1 is to have a backup HDD when one fails. If the info is on a separate partition, it's still lost with the failed HDD.

Since RoadSign Comics Archive url is not anywhere to be seen, not even in Pyro's profile or signature and google likes to give different results every day for "roadsign comic" I added it to the very first post in this topic.

Edit: I was bored at work so I went through the archives since I haven't looked here since the first few comics. Anyway, I was saddened because the comics only featured about four characters from HLP. Oh well, maybe that wasn't the point from the beginning.

* Based on a true story

Archive updated! (http://pmxa.spouing.com/roadsign/)

Now for the downtime explanations. First, as some of you may know, my hard drive went kind of crazy went I tried to transfer a picture from my NTFS partition to my ext3 partition. As a result, my picture folder went into the paradise of corrupted and lost files. At least that is the only explanation I have for the disappearance of that folder.

That folder contained, of course, all the RoadSign comics. Although I've been able to recover most of the work from backups after months of recovery hell and search trough my old DVDs, one thing was missing: the character canvas for the season 2. That really took me down as I have put a lot of work to perfect the designs in season 2. Now I have to start it all over.

Combine that with school work and other projects I'm working in here, the comic has kind of went into a little blackout. I know I say that a lot of times but I hope to get the flow back. But I don't know when I'll be able to do that. Sure thing though, I'll be posting a new comic from time to time here!

As for the appearance of HLP members in the comic, well throughout season 1 and 2 I have put the ones who I thought would fit in the comic. Mostly the ones who have entered the discussion here in the thread. The comic is not entirely made around HLP events. But hey, I may include other characters in there - I'm not limited to 4. I don't look at all the stuff happening here in HLP, but people some times guide me to some threads who could "make a comic".  :nod: So send in your suggestions, they are always welcome  :)

Ahh the wonderful world of patenting!  :P

More to come. In a probably shorter timespan  ;7 . Got the pieces back together, for the most part.

Who knows, maybe it'll feature HLP folks? Or not?

I actually dreamt about somebody buying the new iPod shuffle and going like "What are doing? What are doing with this? What's happening? It's impossible!". Now I didn't wake up screaming like hell, but I did say to that the person when I saw him later in the day that I dreamt about him buying the new iPod shuffle.

He found the situation funny, considering we had a little debate on Apple products a couple of days before it happened.

Y'know, as bad as M$ is, it's a good thing Apple didn't end up on top... it'd be a trade-off.  More stable, but costing twice as much and three times more restrictive on what you are graciously allowed to do. xP

Well well... Got one in stock here. Past-E3 stuff. I don't know if I want to put it on right now. It's pretty heavy and maybe a bit too much for even my own taste. You see, I've been a bit traumatized by Nintendo's Wii Vitality sensor. I think that it's a new peak in... I'll leave that word out. Don't get me wrong - I like seeing new stuff in video games. But seriously. Wii Fit? Wii vitality sensor? Grab a bike, a stopwatch and a body scale and don't come back until you have lost 200 pounds. Dang.

So the comic ended up a bit like an over-reaction to some pretty ridiculous stuff (like the past comic), except that this time it's not really funny.

Besides, I won't repeat what Aeris (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=282) said so well.

So, toning down the stuff and coming back with fresh stuff when I'm done  :D

Still alive, still alive. I had some ideas lately, but most have been like "Naah already done" or "Nahh not really funny". I had a *really* cheap shot for the Wii in stock, but I already done enough with that system. But it's in the works.

Don't worry if you get tons of 404s in the archive site - it's being reworked at the moment. Nothing really fancy, you won't notice a change. It's mostly under the hood (because there will be something under the hood, unlike the old version :P)

EDIT: The archive is now up and running, with new and improved URLs. No more pages/archive_season1.html : Say hello to /archive/season/1/ !

What? Isn't that nice? Okay it's not groundbreaking, but hey! The new system will let me update my stuff more rapidly. And I can also test some stuff behind-the-scenes. That you can't see. But that is visible with the URLs. Really, tons of lines of code in this new update! You wouldn't believe! Well, you get the point. *goes to sleep*

It would seem that the archive went blank for some reason. I don't have time to investigate at the moment. Nevertheless, new comic!

Hee, well put.

I've kind of wondered why recent toilet paper commercials have been touting "super-absorbency!" as a selling point.  Maybe they're using it for something I'm not, but in my world, it isn't the absorbency that matters...it's the surface area. :p

Random aside:  I was showing a friend of mine some of these comics on your archive.  When you view a specific comic, could you put a set of previous/next buttons there too?  It would make flipping through comics much easier.

EDIT:  I just realized that based on your prior post, my timing is terrible.  Sorry.  :(

Post by: Pyro MX on January 24, 2010, 10:22:37 pm

RoadSign #60 (http://pmxa.spouing.com/external/roadsigncomic.html)

Now, before some people jumps to conclusions, here's the context of this strip. There's been a lot of heat recently about UI design in the Linux workspace, and one thing I really hate is when somebody comes with a bulldozer and go over all my workspace to tell me I was not working correctly. UI design is an essential part of software design, true. I am not against change, but I am certainly not in favor of completely replacing workspaces for the sake of efficiency. And there is a simple reason for that: we are not machines. We need time (sometimes a lot) to adapt, and changing the whole workspace one one shot can frustrate more than help.

A good UI designer knows how to make a UI evolve smoothly and if the new UI is amazing, the user should realize it when working with it. Not by reading design documents that says so. There are UI designers who are able to do that - a lot more than we may think. This is just a little critique  :p. Please remember the users when designing your UIs!

EDIT: In your face, Dekker!  :p
