#026 – Crazy Prepared

January 16th, 2004 | by Lothar

FINALLY! The comic wasnt working right this morning but thanks to Silversword actually knowing what the hell he was doing we manged to get the site working. Thanks Silv!

You know I’d make some smart arsed comment about whats going on in this comic, but it’s funny by itself, hehehe East and his coffee ^^.

Nothing to write about this week as I havent given it any thought, but if you wanna chat about this weeks comic, or ask the EN crew any questions, head over to our FORUMS and join in.

Oh and keeping up the voting, you guys rock. Cya Later.

I know the difference between a robot and a cyborg, thanks.

January 9th, 2004 | by Lothar

So I got an email from some guy trying to convince me that Master Chief isnt a Robot, but a man in a “Robot Suit Thingy”. Yeah that’s why I said he was a CYBORG!

In the Halo books we learn that Master Chief is a Spartan 2 soldier, who was taken from his home aged 6 along with 75 other children to be trained for a life of war. During this time he has had metal grafted onto his bones, muscles enhancements using nanobaots and chemicals that allow him to lift near half a tonne, expanded brain capabilities. The MJOLNR(or however its spelt) armour is the last piece of him that makes him what he is in Halo, the sheild, plus the suit again increase his strength again another ten fold. Which allows him to flip over things like the Warthog and Scorpion Tank in the game. The suit also allows him to connect a A.I Construct (Cortana) to his brain essentially.

So, “Mitch” next time you try and correct me, maybe it would help if you actually knew what the FUCK you we’re talking about, instead of lying and saying you know the people at Bungie and trying to convince me you’ve built robots. You also missed the point of the post, well not so much missed it. More like you we’re ten miles away looking in the opposite direction when the point went by.

#025 – Just Recording Evidence

January 9th, 2004 | by Lothar

First up, we’ve finally got some FORUMS over at The Fallout Shelter, home to webcomics such as ROTFW and The Rogues Gallery.

Next, we’re on Top Web Comics now, to see if it’s does anything to attract more readers to the site, if not then meh.

Anyway I said last week I would try to think of something to write about, and well I got nothing, so I’m going to talk about the first thing that comes into my head.

……….damn this is taking longer than I thought. OK I got a topic.

Robot’s, aren’t they just cool? As you may or may not have noticed, in EN Lothar is a cyborg (and if ANYONE says ANYTHING about “Robotocization” I retain the right to make fun of you), this has a lot to do with my affection with robots and things or a robotic nature, one of his inspirations, was the Terminator films, personally one of my favourite movie trioligies, although #3 was subpar, but still enjoyable. Whether it be giant robots with guns the size of a warehouse strapped to it’s arms, Arnie blasting away with a shotgun while having his face melted off, or those little tiny spy robot thingies they have in practically every spy film now. Robots are cool.

I suppose it all started when I first saw “Transformers” when I was a kid. I’m talking about the ORIGIONAL Transformers here, not the crap that’s on TV today, Optimus Prime beating the crap out of Megatron while spouting phrases like “No harm shall come to any one as long as I’m around” or “Buy our toys!”. While Megatron was having his arse handed to him,. Starscream was plotting the best way to take over the Decepticons while thinking of a good excuse when it miserablly failed, while Soundwave was just standing there…emotionless, with a very creepy voice. The cool thing about Trasnformers is that essentially you have 2 toys in one, a robot and whatever the hell it transforms into. You could have Optimus Prime being a robot one second then have him in truck mode running over you sisters My Little Ponies, and that took some work in my house, my sister had THOUSANDS of those little plastic bastards, I had about 7 transformers at the time (I have a few more now), and belive me trying to kill every one of her ponies took a while.

Anyway, but the thing about robots I probably like the most is the fact that whenever you see they do a tnne of property damage. Think about the scenes in Terminator 2 where Arnie and the T-1000 (The liquid metal dude) fight in the mall and then take it outside, see how much damage they cause. And then think about the Mechs in the MechWarrior games, one of the funs things in those was getting an enemy base and stomping on all the soldiers. I mean yeah you’ve got lasers, but your in a 15 tonne mech, and they’re just guys with laser pistols, why waste the ammo? It’s especially fun in MechAssault when they scream.

Moving on from just plain robots we have Cyborgs, which is kinda what Arnie was in the Terminator films. The difference between a robot and a cyborg is basically that robots are all mechanical, cyborgs have “alive” parts, like Lothar in EN, or the “Borg” in the newer Star Trek (Ok yeah Star Trek is kinda boring “I think this space phenomenon is basically a transdimensional whatchamacallit thats has intercepted the parsecticanal, done a dosey do around some gamma radiation thereby taking in Einstein’s theory of E=MC Hammmer *snore*”) Arnie was said to be a cyborg in Terminator, as he had skin ans muscles over his robotic skeleton, but I tend to group the Terminator as a “Robot” for some reason. I dunno why. A more accurate description I think of a cyborg would be Master Chief from Halo, metal skeleton added, increased brain capabilities, muscle enhancements, able to carry around an A.I construct in his head, etc etc. And what did Master Chief do with these abilities? Blew up Halo, which is basically a small PLANET. So yeah, Cyborgs rock.

Ok I’m done now, maybe next time I’ll type something people may be actually interested in.

You’re damn right it’s about damn time!

January 2nd, 2004 | by Lothar

Since we’re switiching to a friday only update schedule I’m gonna try my hand at making these newsposts a bit more interesting and longer to read, I was going to type something here about gaming but I cant really think of anything I want to talk about at length. If I think of something I’ll edit this newspost but if not I will definatly talk about something (probably not gaming related) next week.

Oh and happy frigging new year, bet this ones sucks as most as 2003.

#024 – Same Reason As You!

January 2nd, 2004 | by Virus

Happy 2004 everybody. And let’s welcome Lothar to the comic. “It’s about damn time,” I hear you say. Oh wait, that’s Lothar I hear.

I think I’m gonna have to stick with the once a week schedule for the duration. Friday updates only until further notice. Sorry. I should’ve known better than to think I could draw a bunch of comics during the post-Christmas games binge. My brother got a PS2, so I now have the opportunity to try some of the best that system has to offer. Ratchet and Clank was a good start. And being a digital animation student, I have to say I love the cutscene animation in this game ^^ Have to pick up the sequel. Between that, F-Zero and Mario Kart, chances for hard work on the comic have been a bit screwed…

Virus

I’d just like to point out

December 25th, 2003 | by Lothar

This “comic” was not my idea, Virus is the one who needs a GF, not me. All applications for the position should be sent to my email address for review and include £50 for…..uhm….security purposes.

#023 – Holiday: A Very Merry Annual Gift Day

December 25th, 2003 | by Virus

I was gonna make a one panel strip like I did at Halloween. But then I drew semi-naked anthro chicks instead.

Yes, I do need a girlfriend.

Crimbo wallpapers featuring the above image are available:
800×600
1024×768

Merry non-denominational commercialised holiday period, and a happy new orbital cycle around the Sun.

BTW, this counts for this week’s update, I’m afraid. No new comic till next Friday.

While we’re on the subject of stupid assumptions…

Rogue is a cat.

Silversword is blatantly not a cat.

Did I not make this clear enough yet?

#022 – Distracted

December 19th, 2003 | by Lothar

First of all, two new pictures in the Fanart section by Quicksilver. I REALLY REALLY like this one. Did I mention I really like it? The other is one of the whole crew, click here to see it.

If anyone wondering who’s eyes your looking through in this strip, well you’ll find out next issue ;).

I considered making this post a little more hefty and have something actually useful typed in it, but I cant think of anything, wonderful huh? Oh well maybe next time. And remeber until the end of December we’re updating on Fridays only.

Also a little tip for when talking to me on AIM.

DONT FUCKING ASSUME EITHER I OR MY CHARACTER ARE FUCKING ALCOHOLIC’S BECAUSE THE CHARACTER LOTHAR IS HOLDING A BEER IN THE BANNER!

Thank You.

Lothar
