| February: The end of another great year and the beginning of a new one. Welcome my friends to four fabulous years of service to the web. Franko's Website is FOUR YEARS OLD! February is a month of great passion, especially every four years, on the years that leap. We are now in another leap year, it's February folks. This site was alive and well, although brand new the last leap year and as luck had it, that February was also a leap February. This month we shall see this site rise anew in yet another leap February. Boy do we have a year ahead of us, this next year will see a new president rise to power and Bush fall from power, a good year can be expected although maybe bad, we shall see.. 2-4-08 Perhaps it's time we recap on great former year celebrations today below I shall post the old February 4th Updates: -2-4-04 This is the first day of my new site it may be small now but soon it will be bigger. All I've been doing so far is adding links off my favorites list and adjusting and adding things expect more from me soon. --2-4-05 Oh My God! I can't believe this day has actually come! Do you folks know what day today is? February 4, you say? Yes, that is true, but for me, and this site it means alot more than that, and it dwelves alot deeper than that too! Today whether you like it or not, is... CHUBE'S 12's 1ST BIRTHDAY!!! This is my 12th annual monthly update, is and definatly not my final monthly update, yes as hoped way back in September my site is still active at its year long anniversary! Yes, thats right your looking at a one of a kind, 1 year old site. Even better yet my Legend of Zelda The Site, site, will be 1 year old also, in only a little over a month! What?!? You want an update? You folks might not appreciate this update as much as i do, but it isn't a spoof! It is in fact a complete remake from memory, and facts of what the site used to look like a year ago today! It is in fact just a simple one page Index, because a year ago thats all this site was! Also for you people who don't care at all about the sites history i made a new spoof for you guys! It is called Animal Spoofination: The Life of Mr. Monkey! ---2-4-06 Yes, it happens to be that special day again. Chubes12 is now two years old! On 2-4-04 this site was born. On 2-4-05 this site featured a one year anniversary, and now this site is witnessing a two year anniversary. As promised a few days ago, I have just the gift for this month, as normal. This time it is an Alttp Walkthrough update, yeah I know those are a little slow these days, it seems its been over three months since I last updated it before now. What I did this time is I editted, and added Script to the Dark World Level 1 Section, and now its complete, and I'm ready to do the things leading up to Dark World Level 2 sometime soon as well. I'm really unsure how the next year for this site will play through. I really never planned for this site to be in such good working order by its second anniversary, and never before now, have I even considered a three year anniversary. I will try to keep this site updated, but whenever I have stuff to share with you guys I will update, so there is some reassurance, but I'm in High School, and every year running a website is harder. Only recently has school felt tough though. This shouldn't effect the website this year too much though. Concerning Mario 64 DS, I have 147 out of 150 stars now, with only an 8 red coin star in the last Bowser Level, a 100 coin star in the third to last level, and another 100 coin star in the last level. My Alttp Walkthough Update has been posted on my Alttp Website, but not on my Main Zelda Website, as it usually is a real hassle. Update: I was still in the mood for work on my ALTTP Walkthrough, so I edited the Walkthrough up to Dark World Level 2, and edited, and added text for all of Dark World Level 4 you can see the latest edition of this Walkthrough at my Alttp Website. Yeah, two Dark World Dungeons completely edited with text add-ins in a twenty four hour period, I think this qualifies as a two year anniversary Update, and I got one more star in Mario 64 DS. I'm not joking about the school situation though, it feels a bit ugly in my World History class. Second Update: I felt bored, as well as inspired, here comes another of my idea's for an anniversary present, except it's a reality NOT an idea. I claimed I would make either Street Fight 9, an ALTTP Walkthrough Update, a Comic Update, or a Peace Sucks Story Update. I went with an ALTTP Update earlier, and then I made another ALTTP Walkthrough Update, both were substantial. Now, here is another one of the four idea's mentioned a few days ago except it's real, this time it is the Street Fight 9 Pivot I threw up in the air. Enjoy my THREE Presents for my two year anniversary. That's better then the two I gave last year. I don't expect to give four updates on the third year anniversary so quit dreaming for that. Sorry, for the technical mess up on my part, I made the update post at midnight last night 24 hours ago for today, but I archived the Update instead of putting it on the front page. I put the Update up, but not the original Update that the Update was a continuation to, sorry about that, but the third Update is up with the first, and second now, and no there won't be a fourth update today. ----2-4-07 Well, what do you know? Another year has passed, and another has begun. Year 4 could very well make or break this site. Year 1 was bumpy the first half, year two was strong all the way through, year 3 was strong in the first half, but this year would not seem to be off to a great start seeing as the way year 3 ended. Anyways enough about the problems still present from last year, this is a new year full unlimited possibilities. I know I haven't done any real updates this year, and haven't even made posts frequently, but I'm busy, and this site doesn't interest me the same way it once did. I have presents for my loyal fans (Do you exist?) I made 2 small scans of random Peace Sword Comics for you all, and I'm sorry to say it, but my scanner shut down, and I was going to make 2 more... anyways those are posted up, and my other update is my new pivot Ninja Fight XIV. Ninja Fight XIV was arguably my most hated pivot, I did not enjoy working on it, but I felt I had to finish it in time for this update, and believe me when I tell you that it was in the making for a VERY long time. It seems very odd all the way through, mainly because it was a dumb idea for a plot, and because I hated working on it as a result of the plot. The comics are a series of random battles, and a brief overview of the sword history. The comics are on my comic site, and the pivot is on my pivot comics site. If I can get my scanner working again I will scan in the other comics, I hope I can do that today. If I can I will have an update to this update. I shall be back in a few days to do the Final Fantasy VI review, and the Wii Play Review. There is one last thing I must mention, I beat Hotel Dusk on Wednesday, and it was good game over all. I must say though, it was a very slow game, there was no action, and the gameplay was pretty minimal. The music was catchy, and not annoying, but it wasn't over all that memorable. The main selling feature behind this game is it's amazing story. The whole sales pitch is that it's a novel designed for the DS, with minimal game features. That's about all it is, if you love reading detective mystery novels, and like portable gaming, than this is the game for you, but seriously if you have ADD, or have any sign of small attention spans don't waste your money on it, you will die playing this game. See you all later. Update: It took longer than I had hoped for, but let me tell you this last update item was worth the wait. Yes, I've matched the amount of updates of last year, but I'd say the size of the updates were considerably larger last year, but I was extremely ambitious last year doing 4-6 hours of work on my strategy guide. (That is VERY hard to beat, seriously.) Anyways the last two comics are up on my comic site, and they are probably better than the two things I updated with earlier. These explore lost Peace Sword plots, the stuff earlier was random junk loosely related to Peace Sword. This is all for today. 2-4-08 (continued) As you can see, I had some great posts in previous years and as I get deeper entrenched with High School making decent posts becomes more difficult. I got so bad over the last year that I basically turned this site into a dead one. It's been mostly a journal, and I've posted almost never except for brief once a month articles on my life and current situation. You could say this has been nothing more than words and few of them for the past year, and that's not far off. I have a very serious tradition of posting quality year anniversary updates and in no way am I going to fail that commitment. Expect to see nothing more than last year, I'm posting 3 new Mafia Comics as well as the 5 bad comics I mentioned a few months ago but was formerly ashamed to release. Today I realized I've released bad spoof comics in the past and the only way this could be a decent update was to release them so I have. With a total of 8 new Mafia Comics I feel this years update, although a lot less ambitios than in previous years, still is quality, and in comparison to the updates for the entire past year, I'd say I actually out did myself for once. This is all I've got, sorry it's not like the old updates posted above. Now, my experiment is complete, I have all the posts of the entire last year posted together uneddited on this front page. I hope next month to clean this page up, as it really is messy now. On a side note the 3 latest Mafia Comics are actually posted onto 5 older Mafia Comics. That section is named Mafia XVI-XLIII I'm sorry for the confusion, I just didn't see the point in posting it separately. The other should be named Mafia Carp Comics, both sets of Comics are posted on my Comics Site, www.geocities.com/favoritecomics. That's all thanks for another great years guys and gals! -Chubes12 + Hey and maybe you can find me in Runescape some time, my name on there is also Chubes12, if you recognize my website say hi some time I'd love it! 2-6-08 This is a rather brief and unexpected update. I know I don't post very often and I'm sorry. I know I also almost never post with updates and for this I'm also sorry. Today is not one of those days rather it's a day meant as a late expansion to the 4 year anniversary update of two days ago. I made 3 new Mafia Comics and not bad ones but of the regular series. There's some good and bad that comes with this. Unfortunatly I needed only 2 comics to finish off the current set of 10 so what ended up happening is I had to take on Mafia XLVI onto the current 10 but now it's 11... so it's not perfect, but better than putting the newest comic all by itself. Ok so I better explain why I made these new three comics I suppose. I was bored during Chemistry so I drew XLIV and thought that was great but got bored in Algebra and drew about half of XLV but I had a very lucky break, suddenly I had a vision of exactly what I wanted from XLVI so I ended up drawing XLVI afterwards, since they're all related and I had sort of a bonus comic as far as XLVI is concerned I figured I'll release them all together as a late anniversary update. Ok, they're all posted on my comics site, so that's it. See you all later! -Chubes12 2-29-08 It's time I finally brought it on, this time I'm correcting a four year old mistake by simply not repeating it! Today is Leap day everyone, that's right, this is that one day we only see once every four years!!! I was online four years ago today, I even read a Leap Day update on one of my favorite Zelda fan sites, but figured why should I bother making an update on my small one month old website? Well, now that it's over four years old, I kind of regret not updating back then, because back then, as today it is a HUGE deal to update on a Leap Day. There's no way I wasn't going to miss this chance again. I assure you I won't have this chance again. I sincerely doubt this site has a shot at four more years to give me another Leap Day update, so I'm doing it today. Even better I have a boatload of updates today!! Unfortunatly, these updates are spectacular and most likely to affect the quality of March's Monthly Updates... which sadly is in only four days. Well, on to the first update, as this one is quite a bit older. In fact I finished it a week ago, and started working on it perhaps a few weeks ago. The first update are the next four Mafia Comics, and I've added that extra comic stuck onto the previous 10. Now, XLVI - L are all together in a new set of five and XXXVI - XLV are together without XLVI now. I think it's just fine now. The other update is different but requires more explanation, a LOT more. I haven't done this in awhile, because there hasn't been anything to discuss in the last several months. Today, I finished Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. The sequel to the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy. This fourth game to the Ace Attorney Series is what I'll be reviewing below. Apollo Justice starts off Seven years after the Phoenix Wright trilogy. The main mystery behind the game is "Why is Phoenix Wright now a loser and retired of his Attorney Badge?" It takes a lot of time, but early on we find out he messed up his final case with false evidence. It takes until the fourth case until we get to find out not only what happened with that case, but why it happened. Probably the best part about Case 4 is that you get to play the Final Court Trial of Phoenix Wright, and get to present that illegal evidence personally. The entire game is riddled with mysteries and unlike the previous games these are not random unrelated cases at all. In fact all four cases have a ton of story bridges and things that seem unimportant will come back to haunt you both in case four and in the games's "good ending." I'd say over all the music was good, although not amazing like the third game. I'd say the graphic overhaul is impressive, but not incredibly better than the previous games. The cast of characters is actually very interesting. The old characters who return from previous games for the most part were messed up. I'd say Phoenix Wright and Ema Skye although they play integral parts in Apollo Justice, are nolonger the lovable characters that were so great in the old Trilogy. Overall I'd say this game doesn't have any memorable cases I'd allow in my top 3 favorite cases but it's final case might be worthy eventually. As far as how it relates to previous games, I'd say it's better than the second one, about equal with the first game, and not quite as great as the third game. If you're a fan of the Phoenix Wright Series I say go buy this game. If you're not a fan of any of the games yet I'd suggest buying the first game "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney." That game sets up a lot of basic functions both in game format and in early story. There's no way you'll understand Phoenix if you don't play that first game, nor will you understand Detective Skye. They were pretty important in the first game and are still important now, but you can't appreciate them in this game without playing that game. That's all I've got today. Happy Leap Day everyone! March: A great month indeed, a month celebrating birthdays in abundancy, many in my family, including my own. The joys of life carry on and on, but rest is always needed, spring forward, and find solace in spring break, it comes but once a year. A week to relax, a week to journey across the world, a week to celebrate a birthday, but at what cost? Three weeks towards break can be painful, overhyped, and annoying, but don't fear, it goes faster with the years. 3-4-08: Ah, another month it seems, and well into year four. I regret to admit I'm unprepared for this update as usual.. I did give some great updates but that was 5 days ago on Leap Day. It was a special occasion and demanded special attention, especially updates, so updates it got. Those update would have been this months updates, so I can't deliver again. Please refer to the Leap Day updates, but a recap on the contents. I brought 4 new Mafia Comics, and a review for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. Well, I must say a lot has happened in the week since Leap Day. I've found a new plan for Runescape. I want a new cape, but specifically the Firemaking Cape. It is one of my all time favorites, and with time It shall be mine. I don't have much to say, but I will say this. I've been incredibly bombarded with the same old song and dance, my CIP Junior English Project is getting on my nerves, as is Anthropology, Chemistry, and Algebra II. I get busier all the time. This sort of thing could be the death of me and this site. If I don't come back for over a month rest assured it means this site is dead. I haven't skipped a single month since 2004 and unless I later say that I intend to skip months or end the site than assume the site is dead if I don't update one month. I don't intend to end this site yet, but if I don't update again then something will have happened that I couldn't have foreseen, please be patient with me, I get busier all the time. 3-13-08 An unexpected Update but it's tradition, so why not? Yesterday I finally got my hands on Super Smash Brothers Brawl, but believe me, I wasn't in a rush. The problem really, is that I pre-ordered the game back in 2006, yes, I literally pre-ordered it in 2006, but December 28th, so barely. The very fact that they were doing pre-orders for this game way back in 2006 and 2-3 delays caused it to be released deep into 2008 is a complete mystery, and an annoying one at that. I waited long enough to lose that burning desire. (Believe me time can do that...) Anyways, as I had been hearing for some time the game is amazing, it is completely cram packed with a more content than I've ever seen in any game ever in my life. It costed 50 Bucks like any other game for the Wii but do not treat it the same as any other. Super Smash Bros. Brawl or SSBB is absolutely the best game that has ever been released on the Wii. It has so much content, so many good characters, so many good maps, so many great songs, so many trophies, so much stuff that it simply cannot be ignored. This is THE one game no sensible Wii owner can go without. I highly recommend this for all Wii fans, boys, girls, kids, adults, people of all types, it's without any doubt the best game ever to grace the Wii. In fact the game is so packed with goods that the developers almost ran out of memory on the Wii disk, a feat no other Wii game has ever come at all close to. The fact the game was delayed so often was because they kept adding more stuff. There is no end to the things you can do in this game. There's so much to do that you don't even have to fight, you can listen to the music library, you can play loads of 2 minute demo's on all the best classic games, you can play tons of minigames, lots of challenges, collect trophies, and SO MUCH MORE!! Oh, as a side-note LOST once again is playing TONIGHT. Tonight is Episode 7. It's a must-see episode, tonight we learn of Sun and Jinn's Future in their Flash Forwards and we'll also see Michael for the first time Since Season Two. This should be another great episode. I want everyone to check it out if they can. Well, another long update done, see you all next time! 3-23-08 I'm sorry for taking so long. I'm going to California for the next five days. If I'm all wrong then I will allow something else to die. My fears, my habits, I intend to let them all die after Spring Break. I want this to be the turning point. I will get contacts for my bad eyesight, will go after my Drivers License, I will do the whole bit after Spring Break, because I'll know for the first time in months that I have something ahead of me, that I have life to live. These chains of doubt really have held me back, and I intend to end them entirely very, very soon. You've all been so good to me, I'm just so awful at realizing all that I have, and even worse at saying Thank You! On a different note, I bought Lost in Blue 3 this week. It's a VERY good game. It's truly better than Lost in Blue 2, and finally as good as Lost in Blue 1. You could even say it's better than Lost in Blue 1. Yes, it's really THAT good! Lost in Blue 3 has 4 playable characters, and has a real plot for once. The kid has amnesia, but has many memories throughout the game that explain where he's come from, what he's done, and in great detail explains his connection to the island. The graphics are the same, but the music plays in constant sounds loops this time so you never have to listen to plain bird chirps when exploring a big screen. The music is actually very good this time, granted it's not as good as Lost in Blue 1, but very close. As far as the island goes, it is the coolest island ever, but Lost in Blue 1's island was almost as cool. Over all Lost in Blue 3 is a massive success over its predecessor Lost in Blue 2. Speaking of, I finally got inspired to beat Lost in Blue 2. Now that all the endings, and how to get them are posted online for Lost in Blue 2 I was able to find an easier ending, so I opted for it. Unfortunatly, after hours working towards it, I failed, so I had to opt again for the easiest escape... the helicopter... The helicopter ending was in Lost in Blue 1, and it's without a doubt the most disgraceful escape, but.. I really wanted to beat Lost in Blue 2 any way I could, so I had to settle for it. Over all Lost in Blue 2 is hardest, most boring, and most difficult island survival experience in the entire trilogy. Furthermore, it has no major surprises like the others. Spoilers::: Lost in Blue 1 has an enemy camp complete with a radio, motorboat, and uniform disguise for starters. Lost in Blue 3 has a massive scientific Lab extending underneath the entire island. Lost in Blue 2 is disgraceful because the most surprising thing is a meeting between the survivors and a dieing man, which is cool but lame compared to the surprises in the other 2 games. Well, I hope this was interesting, but this is all this time. I hope to be back soon, good bye everyone. -Chubes12- 3-29-08 Ok sorry about the last update... It was a bit weird I admit. Also, now that a portion of it is irrelevent I removed part of the update. I don't want people to know what it said, and if someone did see what it said, then I'm sorry for worrying you. Words can cause a lot of hurt and I'm sorry for saying it, I just wanted it to be out there in case, but enough of that. Today is my Birthday! I'm 18, a man, and I'm going to vote republican. Yeah, me, voting for President, I can't wait. Darn.. I've gotta go, be back later.... 3-30-08 I bought a Playstation 3 and Lost: Via Domus (Abc's Lost the video game) yesterday with my year long allowance, christmas cash, and birthday cash. Believe me, Playstation 3 even in the 40 GB $400 system is insanely expensive. Overall I think the system is alright, naturally the only great versions of the system the 60 GB and 80 GB are now out of print and will not be made anymore. Those are better versions as they contain the emulation chip allowing all Playstation 1, 2, + 3 games to be played normally, as well as CD's, DVD's, Blu-Ray, and I think Hi-Def Music CD's or something like that. Obviously a lot more memory in the discontinued versions with the added ability to play Playstation 2 games. Anyways my version was cheapest (fortunatly), and the only side effect is less memory (as if I NEED more than 40 GB) and the misfortune of not being able to play Playstation 2 games (Oh well, I obviously still have my Playstation 2 anyways, and it sounds like not all games work perfectly from those old systems, and they ARE a pain as I have to make virtual memory cards and can't load up my current PS1 / PS2 saves, unless I buy some adapter ...... thanks sony.......). Anyways I only intend to play Playstation 3 games and Blu-Ray disks on it so the memory and lack of PS2 playability shouldn't be much trouble. When I hook this baby up to the wide-screen with a Blu-Ray disk I can see for myself how this new format "really" looks for myself. Ah, yes about Lost: Via Domus... It's not what I'd consider a must have, one the graphics are hardly amazing PS3 standard, two it's WAY too short, 3 it can be incredibly, and plain unnecessarily frustrating at times, and four my main issue with the game is it's complete lack of authenticity. Mainly, almost every scene involves non-existant encounters with the heroes of the show and with the Others. In the end it looks like it was all a bad dream, which really was the most lame ending ever... but means however dumb, misleading, and inaccurate the game was, if you were to move on from the games ending you would probably see a second "accurate" take of the game which would actually follow the show and not be some rampant story about an amnesiac jerk who had his girlfriend killed for some stupid photo of a corrupt scientist, because in the end his girlfriend was on the plane and alive. I hope this proved interesting. See you all next month! -Chubes12- P.S. Now that I am an adult it hardly matters if I say my name time and time again eh? As a result I changed the name of the site to "Franklin Chown's Chubes12" couldn't be more showy than that I'd say. Once again Chubes12 signing off- April: Ah what a month ahead of us! April fools =p! Can't see much, gonna get all kinds of warm..... wow it's hailing >.<. April is the month of sunshine, the month of easter and the month of many things. You never will find much to regret nor will you find much at all, this is April folks! 4-4-08 Right.. looks like I missed the mark this month. It's 4-7-08, but the date must remain 4-4 (it's tradition of course!). I don't have much to say this month. I have been trying more comics, just the inspiration isn't quite there. Mafia has been in crisis mode.. I'm thinking it's probably about time to change the main character, or to give it some time off. One comic is his son, another comic is him dieing, and still another comic is a rebirth to his father. I'm at a total loss, a lot of good idea's but I'm having trouble developing them, and when I do I get more worried over what the main character is supposed to be. Another the other end of the spectrum I'm trying to revive the whole post-apocalyptic world of Peace Sword. I feel why not revive Peace Sword, but call in Peace Sword 2? It can be placed in 2030 a full 15 years after the events of Peace Sword 1. For those who don't know I've always felt like 2015 would be a massive nuclear war. Therefore the entire Peace Sword 1 Series I made before is all leading directly towards the nuclear war but it ends literally only a few months before all that begins. In Peace Sword 2 I'm gonna do away with all the stuff about George, Michael, Pat, ect. I want to focus entirely on Joe the way it was always meant to be. This time he's mature, not cold, confused, or held back by the family. As a 40 year old he's tough, mature and serious about where he's going and what he plans to do. In this new setting he's nolonger challenging the Mafia in petty battles. He's literally taking on the world! The world got all messed up after the war and he's got a lot of fighting ahead of him! I really think this is the sort of thing I wanted all along except I always tried to do Peace Sword 2 in a setting a few hundred years after Peace Sword 1. If the setting still includes Joe but still happens after the war, then it offers a much more interesting plot. I can't wait to further develope this new concept. I guess this is it for today! -Frank- May: Well, well, well, what do you know? IT'S MAY!!! May day, May day... I think I see some Mayfete's coming up. I see some spring time weather finally picking up, and I see summer vacation, just a wee bit off. Boy oh boy, May is a month not to be missed. May is the month we all wait for, the month that just can't come soon enough. We all love May, it's warm, school gets easier, and school gets near to completion. Keep it together, and keep it real, Summer is just around the bend, because it's MAY! 5-4-08 Well, it looks like another month has come. I have a lot to talk about now. Before I begin my massive rant about Mayfete, and Twin Peaks, let me say right away that this month will bring not one, but TWO BIG UPDATES!!! Unfortunatly, I won't dive into info about those 2 updates until the end of this log, if you can't wait scroll to the part that says Updates Here. Mayfete is a traditional I would assume many schools hold where competing classes compete for dominance by preparing a skit worthy of beating the entire school. My class, the Junior class tried to defend our dominance this years, because we won last year, as Sophomores. We tried hard, our skit was Juniormanji, sort of like a cheap rip off of Jimanji, and sadly we failed... We got second place, second only to the Senior Class.. this figures... they're Seniors after all. If anything they get respect, and they get love and care because they're almost gone... I wouldn't be surprised if they do get SOME extra points JUST because they're Seniors, but I'm not gonna go there, they won, we lost, and that's that. Overall it was mostly boring, and I thought Sophomores and Juniors were about equal, Freshman was a joke, but we all expected that, Seniors was alright but nothing special, but Senioritis was expected, and they did better than I expected they would. The Senior skit was sort of lame, and I don't think they deserved to win, but they did, and that's it. Now, on to the fun, and more important mentions. In my Film Studies Class I've been watching a great many movies (yeah, that figures right?) and many of them were pretty good films, but one in particular blows me away, so much in fact I went out and bought it. The television show is called Twin Peaks. In class we saw the Pilot Episode, where a girl named Lara Palmer dies brutally in a rape and murder. The entire duration of the Two Season show is dedicated always with the idea that they need to solve her murder and they need to figure out who did it, and why. Although it at first seems to be a simple murder, in the show you quickly come to realize that almost everyone in the town is shady, and if they weren't involved with the murder they were almost certainly doing something equally wicked on the side. I won't spoil it, but I must say, this is one of those shows that really is a must-see. It's only 29 episodes but it feels more like 100 episodes. It's incredibly deep and with every episode I almost feel sick with the feeling of agony over the death and destruction in the show and sick also with the courage and obsession that leads me into the next episode. Now, onto probably the part most people are REALLY looking forward to. the UPDATES I mentioned are HERE! I have been working diligently on Peace Sword 2, and the first 10 comics are now done, and better than ever, and posted on my comic site, favorite comics, at www.geocities.com/favoritecomics But wait there's more. I've also uploaded Mafia Comics 51-53 as well. Yes, I know it's not a new set of 5 and I know it's a bit of a cliffhanger but I just don't care anymore... I've been working on The Mafia for ages and it feels like it has no end at all... in fact it generally has no story so it basically has no end... and I'm more interested in Peace Sword 2 at the current moment. Well, before I call it a day I'd like to describe Peace Sword 2 a bit. I originally planned to make it a deep future comic about the Black Family and how they're all that's left. In this deep future the world would be partially frozen and totally deserted... a waste land, but in the current comic I decided that I don't want that, and that that is just too hard. I realized if I do the comic about Joe Black just like before BUT make it 15 years into the future... all of a sudden It's in the future but it's also a wasteland, AND Joe Black, one of my favorite characters gets to be completely in the middle of all this. Unfortunatly, even though the idea was perfect I had a ton of difficulty putting it together. I made a few comics but they just didn't seem to go together. It was a garbled mess.. pretty much the way Peace Sword 1 was like originally. I had a mess cleaning it up, and did something I hated. See in Peace Sword 1 I had negative comics as well as half comics because I wanted to make sure that the chronology would remain intact but at the same time the numbering would never change. So instead of changing Peace Sword 1 I to XXX something to add in all the negative comics I just decided to start counting backward. Thus comic 0 happens seconds before comic I and comic -I happens before 0. Everytime I made new negative comics they would just be larger negative comics are farther in the past. The problem with Peace Sword 1 is that I was making a ton of comics in the past and the future at the same time. By the end I wasn't sure what I was doing anymore, and was making comics in any old period that I felt like. It was a bit of a mess, but the worst part about it was how it ended. It literally just stops, Joe is on a bloody island and it's like no one cares.... he just dies and that's the end.. All throughout that he's giving off all this crap about how he's free to live his life but really he's just going to die from starvation. That's a terrible ending to something that went so long. Therefore my ideals to do more in this universe, to bring a land of devastation, a wasteland, but not deep future, just 15 years after Peace Sword 1. Suddenly I realized Joe could be apart of this... why make a new character if I can save Joe from his awful fate? So I did. I made a comic about him fighting a new enemy but it made no sense, so I made another comic to explain what happened and since it happens earlier I was planning to make it a negative comic but then I realized I needed a better comic to be the first comic and neither was worthy so I made a ton of comics trying to make the whole thing flow and of course make sense. In the end I had no choice but to completely renumber everything and then make more comics to fill in the gaps of the existing comics. When I was done I had 10 ok comics but it still looked unorganized, and seemed to be incomplete. As a result I decided to upload it all to the computer to receive some MASSIVE editting. That's right I fixed some of the visuals, but mainly I erased all my handwriting because one it's hard to read, and two it's sloppy. After erasing my writing I completely typed it all out, and added a ton of new stuff to it. This means this comic is the first of all my handwritten comics to have computer type added to it, also it means I have a very strong base of comics to work off of, and when I do I can continue this series, because now it's easy to follow and make a lot more sense to me, and hopefully to readers also. Ok that's all I have to say about Peace Sword 2. That's all I've got today and I'm proud of it! It's currently 1:09 Am Sunday.... I guess I'll miss church again.... I just never seem to wake up early on Sundays anymore... Frank Signing off! P.S. I updated my profile at the top to the screen. |
