Another Year, Another Post
It's a little late this year due to my busy work life, but here's the final official word: the comic is suspended permanently. Everything's already been moved to my DeviantART page, so anyone can read it there. From now on this website will serve a different purpose, which will be revealed... eventually. Like everything I do.
I Hate Bots
Damn things keep raping my site with thier godawful "comments" with links to bazillions of websites with crap like Asian prostitution and "medicinal" herbs. For the record, I haven't done any work on this comic for the last year and a half. The ideas are there, but the drive to put them to paper isn't. So, Extended Hiatus is even further extended. Who knows what the future holds.
The return of Terence...
Yes, I am alive, everyone. I come bearing old promises of new comics, wrapped in a tidy red bow with a little gift tag on a string addressed to you. A date has not been set, there are many things to do before the comic resumes regular weekly updates. Besides, it will keep you in suspense for a little while before I actually figure something tangible out. Hopefully, I can do so before suspense turns to boredom. During my long absense, my former comic host Keenspace became Comic Genesis. I have failed to update my pages with such information, and I may be one of the few remaining. I have not been contacted about my delinquency, nor have my comics been deleted. The name change was entirely superficial, fortunately for me. I shall, however, go through and make sure my site conforms to the new Comic Genesis guidelines. Additionally, I began revamping the site layout almost a year ago, and never finished. This is evident when looking through the archive. That, too, shall be fixed. Updates to the site must also be continued, as I never actually settled on this layout, or how things fit together. This just looked 'neat' at the time. Finally, I've decided not to worry too much about style. I figure if I can get pages done on time and they look half-way decent, it's better than waiting three months for something slapped together at the last minute. I hope it works. Until then, though, feel free to stay in suspense. Ooooo....the suspense!
Interesting little new piece of fun for DeviantArt members called "Pasties". Observe: These are my most popular Deviations. I do wish though you actualy choose which deviations you show. Instead, it's done by category. Such as, my most popular deviations, or my featured deviation (with caption), or some of my recent favorites. *shrugs* Interesting I suppose if you want to pimp your gallery, or other people's art on your website. You can also show recent Deviations to a certain category (which means you could be displaying anyone's art). It's features like these that make me realize most people have no clue what the DeviantART Terms of Service really means. Everyone wants to assume DA wishes to own the copyright to and sell their art, when it seems to me DA just wants to be able to do things like Pasties without needing to ask permission. Basically, because DA gave me permission to use Pasties on my website (through giving me the feature), I can post a thumbnail and link to anyone's artwork on DA without requiring to ask them, since by submitting the artwork to DA, they have allowed DA to use their artwork in specific manners as detailed in the TOS. Since the thumbnail comes with a link to the work (and subsequently that artist's gallery), I don't see how this is a bad thing.
As some of you may know, I live in the Central Florida area. As such, I have access to numerous movie theaters which cater to my various ecclectic tastes. There's Muvico if I want something inexpensive and close-by, there's Regal Cinemas for hanging out with college buddies, and there's The Enzian for tastes of the independent. Recently, a new theater, a Premiere Cinemas theater, opened at the Fashion Square Mall on Colonial Dr. in Orlando. I went there with a friend to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (my second time), and marvelled out how nice and clean the place was, and how high the prices were. Well, it is brand new, I suppose, on both counts. Anyway, as we sat in the small theater, the size wasn't the only thing that got me looking around expectantly; a tense music score kept playing in the background, over and over, like something was going to happen. However, at the end of the score, nothing occured, and it started over again. Finally, though, ten minutes after the reported movie schedule, the lights dimmed and the screen came to life. That's when I realized that whooshing sound I kept hearing wasn't part of the tense music score, but was in fact the air conditioning at full blast. This was not the only sour point of my movie experience. Alas, the sound-proofing at the theater is not as good as it should be, and once in awhile, loud sound effects from the adjacent theaters would blast through the walls during an innappropriate moment. Overall, I would rate this theater as a C-. It could be worse, but then who'd go? So, my evaluation of this theater as compared to others I've been to: - Clean
- Fast snack service
- Small theaters
- Movies do not play on time (too early or too late)
- No sound-proofing
- Overpriced
Overall: C-
Progressing Slowly
I've moved all the rants from each issue to this blog one-by-one, so now I can delete those from the archive and just leave the comics. Boy, I did a lot of apologizing. But, hey, I have a degree now, that's good enough reason for me for why I stopped making comics. Anyway, the title in each rant on this page also serves as a link to that issue. Unfortunately, I won't be able to update the comic and this blog at the same time with any automatic processes. I'll figure something out. Layout changes are moving smoothly if not slowly. Still need to tweak the layout on keenspace to get it looking just right, but that has to do with their setup more than anything. This part of the site still has a few pages missing, including cast, reviews, and fan fics. About the Artist was finally posted. Keenspace changed its name to Comic Genesis, so I'll need to update that, too. Buzzcomiz died, too, it seems, so there goes one vote site. It might be returning, though, but who knows? Anyone know any companies that need a fresh-out-of-college mechanical engineer? Preferably in the U.S., maybe Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, or Tennessee?
Better Times Ahead
Work is nearing completion on a new system of navigation, so the Night Warrior Limited website will be linked across several different domains, spreading the load and using resources wisely. And, with a similar layout at each location, it will be a lot harder to get lost! Production of new issues has fallen way behind, but once a stockpile has been created, new issues will be published once a week on Mondays. In the meantime, plans for the first Night Warrior Limited book are being formed. The book will contain all original 20 issues in full color, even the two issues which were originally black & white! Other possible features may include David Miranda's guest issues, feature commentary, sample scripts, the original story, and possibly artwork not seen anywhere else! The book will have original features not available on the website, making it well worth a buy! An announcement will be made when the book nears completion, so keep your eyes peeled.
