But you promised. Imagine my disapointment. DFG | Email | Homepage | 06.23.03 - 4:31 am | # Harry's still a whiny brat?! SHOCK! *checks if no one is around and secretly reads up HP5* But c'mon Hyung, the degree of perceived loser-icity that your audience has of your person will hardly be changed by this demonstration of... uh... how you already read up enough of the book to do a review strip kinda thing? But really, it's almost like dissing HP is the international hip thing to do... 'oh lookit me, i don't like Harry Pawter, i'm so bright and smart and cool!' jeez people, can't you just read a book just for the sake of it? ___ By the by, you kinda missed the B in brat mister Kim...

Hell, I'm forty-(mumble), and we had two copies on reserve at Amazon for months: One for me, and one for my wife and daughter to share. The books are popular as they are because they are well-written, and they touch all of us emotionally somehow. It did piss me off something fierce that I walked into the local BJ's Wholesale Club on Sunday, and found a Pyramid of Book 5 on sale for $10.00 off what we'd paid!

Mmm, though maybe I didn't got my message across... that last paragraph wasn't aimed at this particular comic at all, but rather to the bunch of guys that, without reading the HP books make unbased opinions of it just because it's popular and therefore must suck. By what you said in the link post and the comic itself you don't come as one of those guys... You know the whole "if lot's of people like it, I must dislike it 'cuz I'm special and different and cool" lot. I was talking about those kinda prats. :p >It's also "by AND by."

Inuyasha-chan | Email | Homepage | 06.23.03 - 7:14 am | # Hyung, you majorly creeped me out with how you drew Ron...because he looks JUST LIKE ME. Seriously. I have hair that color and in the same cut, including the mildly crooked bangs you drew for him (I, uh, let a friend cut my hair, so the left side is shorter than the right, but it looks intentional and kinda cool...like Ron...aigh). My eyes are even that color. I will now include a picture to illustrate the similarities. Alas, the picture is a tad bit old, so I don't seem to have my "ron cut" (instead, I have it incredibly dorky) but I still look sufficiently enough like Ron. http://www11.brinkster.com/misha...els/ posing.html Also, you can only see a bit of it, but I am wearing my sexy Nightcrawler shirt.

Maybe you mentioned it before and I haven't read it or something, but to clear the air, are you? I'm not trying to accuse you or anything if you are, I just want to know because you have alot of that homosexual theme stuff in your comics. Sure, other comics do too, but you have them more directed at yourself than at any other thing.

The only thing that > really worried me was the pop rocks... a wizard in the depths of a mad > pop rocks binge was unstoppable; a demonic force to be reckoned > with... HP Chuck Palahniuk? "Harry Potter and the Dueling Club" HARRY GETS ME a spot on the Griffindor Quidditch Team, after that Harry's pushing a wand in my mouth and saying, the first step to eternal life is you have to die. For a long time though, Harry and I were best friends. People are always asking, did I know about Harry Potter. The tip of the wand pressed against the back of my throat, Harry says "We really won't die." With my tongue I can feel the silencer holes we drilled into the shaft of the wand. Most of the noise a Killing Curse makes is expanding gases, and there's the tiny sonic boom Death makes because it travels so fast. To make a Silent Killer, you just drill holes in the shaft of the wand, a lot of holes. This lets the magic escape and slows Death to below the speed of sound. You drill the holes wrong and the wand will blow off your hand. "This isn't really death," Harry says. "We'll be legend. We won't grow old." I tongue the wand into my cheek and say, Harry, you're thinking of ghosts. The tower we're standing on won't be here in ten minutes. You take a 98percent concentration of hot dragon's blood and add that to three times that amount of bubotuber pus. Do this in an ice bath. Then add salamander sweat drop-by-drop with an eye dropper. You have Wizard's Bane. I know this because Harry knows this. Mix the Bane with sawdust, and you have a nice magic explosive. A lot of folks mix their Bane with niffler wool and add banshee salts as a catalyst. This works too. Some folks, they use paraffin mixed with Wizard's Bane. Paraffin has never, ever worked for me.

Best luck on your getting to see the comic crusade, though. Rivers | Email | Homepage | 06.24.03 - 8:09 pm | # Harry didn't strike me as a whiny prat so much as a neuter boy who sits around and lets things happen to him. For the first: He's what now? 14? 15? And it wasn't until the last book that he had even the slightest inkling girls are different than boys. Sure, being surrounded by english females would make anyone keep it in their pants, but at that age 70% of my thought processes involved T&A. (The rest involved giant robots. But that's a story for a different time.) As for the second: Harry is not the most proactive of characters. Mostly he just follows whatever Hermione does until things just fall into his lap by luck. 90% of his successes in the book are random chance. Now, here's to hoping the Quidditch computer game lets you set the point value of the Golden Snitch to something sane. Regault | Email | Homepage | 06.24.03 - 11:38 pm | # write a book Nestor.

Naked people protesting agains the evilness of the old political nomenklatura? But you know what is fscked up? Even when we just finished (3 years ago) the 70 years of having your nation continually being butt raped by the PRI, there's risk that some old opposition-held (PAN and PRD) states and the majority in the Congress go back to the PRI's claws. Yes. Even after 70 years of lies, corruption, administrative negligence, nepotism and assorted goodness, the masses are still willing to give corrupt politicians a chance because they have nice political marketing advisors. After 3 years of finally having a democratic prez' election, we're reverting to the old regime. A nation gets the government it deserves I guess... See the movie Herod's Law if you can. It will give you a clear look of what atrocities the masses can forget when faced with a nicely orchestrated national political campaign of misinformation like the one that's in progress now. _____ Yes, I'm aware 99% of the readers of this post don't give a rat's ass about this. Pardon the ranting. :p And now, to stay on topic: >Yay! Harry looks like Mi Sung in cosplay custom. Hurrah! The wide-eyed demented look does capture some of Mi Sung's natural charm, yes.

Many thanks for mentioning Amerimanga, amigo! I like the letter "M". Did you know there was a korean horror drama in 1994 called "M"? Boy was it cheesy, but it had a great theme song! What? Why?

But there was an early PS game called D. Cool promo T's for it, too. But, boy, did that game stink. I beat it the first time through (it's timed, and it's supposed to be "challenging"), so much for complex puzzles and replay value. Ok, recalling that was a major downer. I feel like I've exposed a shameful geek loserdom scar that I should never have let see the light of day. But I didn't buy the game! It was Jeremy’s! And he got stuck! So that's why I did it! It's not my fault! I'm innocent! I was tricked! Framed! I didn't know what I was doing! It was an accident! I didn’t mean to! I was young and naïve! I … I … I am so sorry. I … I have no excuse for what I did. It was wrong. I apologize. I’ll go to my room now.

Jesus, that shouldn't be an issue - Tolkien created, by FAR a better story, more vast and sweeping any day. Sure, his writing is heavy-handed, but at least it's not as awful as some of Rowling's literary skills. Rowwing's abilities do not exist in turning a phrase well (dear god no), but she is able to get you to keep turning the page. Stephen King is the same way. This is the difference between a novelist and a great author. Tolkien set the bar for fantasy that people are still catering to today - even Harry Potter (what, can't you see it? Harry is obviously just Frodo, Ron is Sam, and that big spider from the second book is just Shelob...). Not to mention the fact that Rowling stole a lot of her first story... ...also, does anyone else see the obvious "Star Wars" storyline going on in HP? Granted, SW really is just a traditional heroes tale (story isn't all that individual), but it really is kinda scary. Young boy, unhappy with where he is, finds out he has secret powers he never knew of with the help of a tall, bearded man. They head to a place full of mysterious creatures the boy has never seen (Mos Eisley in SW, Daigon Alley in HP) where he has his first experiences with this awesome, uh, force (if you will). He then ends up meeting a suitably sarcastic male compatriot and a chick who is uppity and thinks a lot of herself, but can actually be rather smart, while carrying all of the sex appeal to him of his own sister. I could go on forever, but long story short the main character finds out he is somehow related to the greatest evil and that they contain the same pwoers, it is merely the choices they make that differentiate them. ....seriously, it's eeeeerie... -Misha, who is not anti-HP, but will say that Tolkien is a much better writer... Misha | Email | Homepage | 06.26.03 - 10:48 am | # You never played “D”. You know not of what you speak. I still own the t-shirt, but I just smile and shrug when people ask me what it’s from. I play many video games, and I'm damn good at them. But this is not the same. What if you played Pokemon Shoot? Would you be proud of that? Brag about how well you do? And if you collected and played Pokemon cards as well? If you watched Telitubbies because they may seem to have a subtle anime "feel"? Some things would be best kept in the closet. Why don't you try to rent D. Play it. Play it and beat it. Then tell me how much you wish to brag about it, or even discuss it. I've played MTG, that’s pretty geek to me. But all my cards are beta - that's how long ago I stopped. Do I brag? No. Do I even want to discuss this with people? No. I avoid MTG people, and talk of it, to an extreme. I usually have to leave the room when MTG fanatics are going at it. Only with trusted people will I discuss matters of MTG - and then only briefly. Why? I dunno. I've read Harry Potter. I LIKE the books, and hate the movies. So what? "Where else can you kill many people without the court system shoving their noses up yer butt" ... you gots issues, dude. They're mostly just a collection of point and click (mouse or game pad, doesn't matter) interfaces with a variety of themes and varying perspectives. Ya gotta lighten up on focusing on the “kill many people” issue. Or, if that’s just too much of your bag, join the army. And comparing LotR to HP is kind of goofy. One is out dated, but the blazer of its frontier, and the other is a good modern series with the benefit of decades of literature development and polishing preceding it. Unless you wanna compare the movies - LotR, hands down. I’m going back to my room now. Disreputable | Email | Homepage | 06.26.03 - 11:09 am | # Never looked at it like that Misha... I will keep that in mind... and Dis, the reason why I asked, is because here theres alot of BS talk comparing LotR to Harry Potter... saying that Harry Potter is more imaginative (sp??) and better written then LotR... I suppose its because of the movies... I'm not dissin Harry Potter... just not into childrens books, and yeah MTG fanatics are becoming qwite rabid nowadays... and as for my issues, I don't like people... they are a virus, but thats my oppinion and yes there are a few good people out there... but I don't think this is a good place for such a random argument... but, yeah, I'll check out D...

Country Rat | Email | Homepage | 06.26.03 - 12:54 pm | # I have been terribly disappointed in the majority of PS2 games out there. Either I’m waxing nostalgic, or the sorry lot of them lick sweaty dead monkey testicles. I haven’t tried any of the new Castlevania games - I’ll look into that one. I do like some of them, a few of the ones I’ve found pleasantly playable are: Splinter Cell, Maximo, Tenchi, The Mark of Kri, Devil May Cry (2 is bad), Drakan, Kingdom Hearts, Blood Rayne, Ico, MGS2:SoL, and a few others - but I was surprised how a lot of the really good/quality ones seem to be the sleepers. But that’s not looking at whether or not they have much replay value. I’ve been very disappointed with the GTA series. The original GTA rocked, but … that’s long gone now. Now that would make a fun MMORPG – and it’d be so simple. Am I simply becoming jaded, or what? The first Resident Evil was awesome – the atmosphere was great! Who didn’t jump when the zombie stumbled out of the closet while you were rummaging around that desk? And shooting accuracy actually counted for something! All the REs to follow: Lame.

I agree about DMC2...I'm a DMC fanatic (I, uh, bleached my hair five times until it was white and cosplayed Dante. I used airsoft BB guns modeled after the right calibur and painted them for Ebony and Ivory, and even wrote "For Tony Redgrave" (ahh, Japanglish...it's supposed to be "by Tony Redgrave" since he made the guns for Dante) on them), and so I love that game. Still play it. "Fatal Frame" is AWESOME. Also sugested are: "Guilty Gear X" and "Guilty Gear XX", if you like fighting games.

You think it was easy for him to write a whole new world, with new concepts, for the James Bond/E.A. Poe/Sherlock Holmes reading crowd??? He had to define, describe, explain, and paint the whole damn world that all of us now take for granted. He reinvented elves to the standard template you ALL use. Same with dwarves. Everything since his books have merely been ripping him off, from literature to games. And what the heck is a “hobbit”? You ALL know what one is, but that’s only because of him. You’d have to stretch pretty far, across a lot of different cultures, to say that he just borrowed from established fairy lore and mythology. He created an incredibly detailed world for his story that went on to define things that he didn’t even write into his book. He even invented different languages for his races. And the cliché of “The Dark Rider” (in print or lit.), credit him and the impact he made. Of course reading JRRT’s books seems like wading through hardening concrete, you already know all the little details that he’s dwelling and fleshing out on. But, when he wrote those books, he was having to paint them all for the first time so that people could get a feel, image, and depth of understanding of the worlds he was creating. He was a tortured soul, the fantasy world he fabricated was a safe outlet to exorcize the nightmares and demons that haunted him. Give props to where they are deserved. And Jordan sucks. His writing is trite and brain numbing, his only redemption is his plots and over-arching story lines. The rest is all D&D themed rip offs. I stopped reading his stuff the day I sarcastically predicted the following sentence to a dull and dragging commentary of description - and it turned out to be word for word what he wrote next. I figured, why read something that reads verbatim to what I derisively mock it to be? The Belgarian series was much more enjoyable reading, and not as insulting. Btw, Country Rat, “barb wire on our feet to keep from slipping” is just too funny. I’ve never heard that one before. Fatal Frame, Sly Cooper and the Thievious Raccoonus, Guilty Gear X, Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick: I will definitely have to get these. I have read about them, and they are on my “to check out” list, but I think I’ll grab them the next time I see a deal on them. Sly Cooper never seems to go down in price, it must be pretty good considering it’s been out for a bit. My friends and I still like to sit around and play Abe’s Odyssey and Abe’s Exodus.

How disappointing. Orchard | Email | Homepage | 06.27.03 - 10:29 am | # I hate the common use of the word "fag" and "gay" in slang nowadays. It was introduced mostly by homophobes and conservatives who wanted to propagate a negative view of homosexuals by attaching a negative meaning to words dealing with homosexuality. It's ingrained conditioning...now, when you think of these two words, you automatically think negatively, yes? CONSPIRACY!!! But meh, that's just my liberal rant, because I yam homoseksual.

Misha | Email | Homepage | 06.27.03 - 11:36 am | # Homosexuals are gay. Homophobes are gay. Conservatives are gay. Rainbows are gay … but not as gay as those stupid pink triangles. You know, if the term “fag” starts becoming more of a general derogatory remark - more akin to “asshole”, “dipshit”, “nimrod”, “ prick”, “bastard”, “fuck-wad”, and such – and less associated with gays, wouldn’t that be a good thing? After all, it was never originally a word that was supposed to be associated with homosexuals. Sure, there’s the myth about those up-tight “conservative types” calling homosexuals “faggots” because, like a bundle of sticks, they thought that they were best off being burned … but why then are witches not also called fags? In the UK they call cigs fags. You light them up, burn them, smoke ‘em, set them to a flame – they’re just little bundles of tobacco. Its classic (Old English/Latin derived) definition is for a bundle (commonly of sticks (kindling) – faggot of *whatever*). Later it was also used to define weariness, drudgery, tiresome labor/gathering, and exhaustion (or something like that). But the common myth about the whole fag=homosexual link claims that it was in reference to burning at the stake. Why not use the term “fag” to denote any undesirable that you’d like to see set on fire? We could torch Baptists, Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses while gleefully calling them “heretic fags”. Who cares what religion you belong to, or if you even believe in god, they are a perversion of their own original faith (and will passionately denounce anyone for any belief different from their own) so they deserve to be mocked & torched. Latter-day Saints my ass. And why not politically? Politicians? Lying fags! Burn ‘em! People who seem to be ruining our country? Traitorous fags! Burn ‘em! Terrorists? Filthy scum fags! Burn ‘em! Barney and those Telitubbies? Offensive fags! Burn ‘em! Bigots? Fucking hate-monger fags! Burn ‘em! But I’ve heard homosexuals use the word “gay” as a non-derogatory term when discussing sexual orientation, so … I guess that it’s different. “Fag” is just more offensive by nature, unlike “gay”. But “gay” is commonly being used to describe something as, to my understanding, lame. Maybe we can use the term “hetero” to describe someone who is too uptight and straight-laced? Even if they happen to be gay. Insulting someone with “hetero” would sound so much cooler than using the word “prude”. And what about “bastard”? Anyone without a dad (due to divorce, death, a really awful mom, a delinquent dad, mental illnesses in a variety of scenarios, or what have you) may be very sensitive to the term “bas Disreputable | Email | Homepage | 06.27.03 - 2:16 pm | # *oops* ... sensitive to the term “bastard”. Perfectly understandable. And it’s not like you can truly hold their circumstance against them. I think that using the word “bastard” is extremely insensitive – you never know who might hear it and simply be hurt at hearing it tossed around as such. Ooh – that reminds me that I once did do a fubar faux pas along those lines, quite embarrassing. Anyway, as a male, I may not be too fond of someone using the term “dick” in an offensive manner - because I have one and I don’t think it’s fair that I should be associated with an ass-wad because some shit-for-brains doesn’t have a creative enough vocabulary to be a little more careful with their offensive remarks. But “prick” is still derogatory, like “fag”, so that would be ok to use as a condescending remark. “Penis” just sounds too silly to be a serious insult. And what about people who might like their anuses? Should they have a right to be offended when someone uses “asshole” as a derogatory remark in defining an unsavory person? There could be a closet group of anus appreciators out there. People who would, in all seriousness, say things like “I love your asshole, it’s so perfect – so sexy … I am so envious of you”. I mean, you have people out there admiring their own hairy nut-sacks, ogling pics of clitorises/vulvas/labia, scanning their various body parts to send to begging online requestors, people thinking very dirty thoughts about feet, noses, hair, dirty laundry, and hamsters. My gf loves it when I tell her that I think she has lovely, perfect, shapely, perky, firm, petit breasts (she’s a little self-conscious about them because they’re a B cup). Why could there not be people out there who speak affectionately of assholes and who would not appreciate the term “asshole” being used in a derogatory manner? I feel it is my social duty to insult people by using the term “fag” in an entirely non-homosexual context – a clearly non-homosexual context. Besides, “god forsaken, ass sucking, inbred, urban redneck” sometimes seems to be too much for the intended target to grasp all at once. Come to think of it, said targets probably would not be able to get past the homosexual definition of “fag” upon hearing it - regardless of the context it’s used in. I guess my favorite fall back is still “fuck off”. It keeps life simple. When is Crazy Kim Chi gonna update?

There may be trouble." from the front page DFG | Email | Homepage | 06.27.03 - 3:58 pm | # Disreputable, this is true that pretty much all insults have negative origins. "Fag", however (which while originally came from "a bundle of sticks", is now inseparable from it's homosexual meaning), is more on a level with the word "nigger" than "asshole" or "prick" - those just refer to parts of the body. It's not singling out any minority and espousing the negative aspects of them, instead it's just using the common parts of all man to make us laugh at ourselves and possibly get really pissed off. But yeah, "fuck" is a pretty good general one to use. Although, I suffer from hypocrisy, as one of my friends got me in the habit of using "retard", and later "fucktard" and "fuckwit"...oh the shame. I don't think I'm going to change the world by meekly saying I don't agree with how it's used. Just trying to make it in this wacky day-to-day existence.

"Gay" is used just to describe someone who is gay...it's not always negative, but when used in the sense "that's so gay!" to call something lame (lots of gay men are rather beefed up), then it IS being used negatively. Being GAY isn't a negative thing, hence the frustration. The reason people use the word "fag" and "nigger" when referring to themselves in their respective communities is not out of any great love for the words. By using it themselves, they hope the take the power out of the word...it's a rebellion thing, as to say "See, it doesn't hurt me!" when all they're proving is yes, that it really does hurt or they would feel no need to flaunt it.

Admittedly, it is not as good as part 1 since the developers made the game too easy (only the Must Die modes are vaguely challenging). You need practically no skill to get through the game, and hence the players from part 1, who had to build some serious experience to get through feel shafted. I completely understand that. So I'd like to suggest to these people to actually impose a difficulty barrier upon themselves and try and go for an S ranking in every Mission (Dante&Lucia)... you'll see that suddenly, finishing a Mission becomes much more interesting, as you'll have to have high Showtime averages, quick completion time, no hits and a sufficient amount of red orbs collected. What do you from a full S-rank game? Well, nothing substantial (which, again, is a bad mistake from the developers) except for much more satisfaction from the game and the pleasure of having a full S-rank statistics screen. Trust me, it feels good. Anyway, that's my two cents on Devil May Cry. Not a good sequel, but fun when played right nonetheless.

My eyes are even that color.

I will now include a picture to illustrate the similarities. Alas, the picture is a tad bit old, so I don’t seem to have my “ron cut” (instead, I have it incredibly dorky) but I still look sufficiently enough like Ron.

Of all the times I’ve been reading your comics, I have one little question to ask you:

Are you a homosexual?

Maybe you mentioned it before and I haven’t read it or something, but to clear the air, are you? I’m not trying to accuse you or anything if you are, I just want to know because you have alot of that homosexual theme stuff in your comics. Sure, other comics do too, but you have them more directed at yourself than at any other thing.

HARRY GETS ME a spot on the Griffindor Quidditch Team, after that Harry’s
pushing a wand in my mouth and saying, the first step to eternal life is you
have to die. For a long time though, Harry and I were best friends. People
are always asking, did I know about Harry Potter.
The tip of the wand pressed against the back of my throat, Harry says “We
really won’t die.”

With my tongue I can feel the silencer holes we drilled into the shaft of
the wand. Most of the noise a Killing Curse makes is expanding gases, and
there’s the tiny sonic boom Death makes because it travels so fast. To make
a Silent Killer, you just drill holes in the shaft of the wand, a lot of
holes. This lets the magic escape and slows Death to below the speed of
sound.

You drill the holes wrong and the wand will blow off your hand.

“This isn’t really death,” Harry says. “We’ll be legend. We won’t grow old.”

I tongue the wand into my cheek and say, Harry, you’re thinking of ghosts.

The tower we’re standing on won’t be here in ten minutes. You take a
98percent concentration of hot dragon’s blood and add that to three times
that amount of bubotuber pus. Do this in an ice bath. Then add salamander
sweat drop-by-drop with an eye dropper. You have Wizard’s Bane.

I know this because Harry knows this.

Mix the Bane with sawdust, and you have a nice magic explosive. A lot of
folks mix their Bane with niffler wool and add banshee salts as a catalyst.
This works too. Some folks, they use paraffin mixed with Wizard’s Bane.
Paraffin has never, ever worked for me.

Harry didn’t strike me as a whiny prat so much as a neuter boy who sits around and lets things happen to him.

For the first: He’s what now? 14? 15? And it wasn’t until the last book that he had even the slightest inkling girls are different than boys. Sure, being surrounded by english females would make anyone keep it in their pants, but at that age 70% of my thought processes involved T&A. (The rest involved giant robots. But that’s a story for a different time.)

As for the second: Harry is not the most proactive of characters. Mostly he just follows whatever Hermione does until things just fall into his lap by luck. 90% of his successes in the book are random chance.

Now, here’s to hoping the Quidditch computer game lets you set the point value of the Golden Snitch to something sane.

Somehow I had missed the naked farmers link. Heh. Kinda funny, eh? Naked people protesting agains the evilness of the old political nomenklatura?

But you know what is fscked up? Even when we just finished (3 years ago) the 70 years of having your nation continually being butt raped by the PRI, there’s risk that some old opposition-held (PAN and PRD) states and the majority in the Congress go back to the PRI’s claws. Yes. Even after 70 years of lies, corruption, administrative negligence, nepotism and assorted goodness, the masses are still willing to give corrupt politicians a chance because they have nice political marketing advisors. After 3 years of finally having a democratic prez’ election, we’re reverting to the old regime. A nation gets the government it deserves I guess…

See the movie Herod’s Law if you can. It will give you a clear look of what atrocities the masses can forget when faced with a nicely orchestrated national political campaign of misinformation like the one that’s in progress now.

Ok, recalling that was a major downer. I feel like I've exposed a shameful geek loserdom scar that I should never have let see the light of day. But I didn't buy the game! It was Jeremy’s! And he got stuck! So that's why I did it! It's not my fault! I'm innocent! I was tricked! Framed! I didn't know what I was doing! It was an accident! I didn’t mean to! I was young and naïve!

Duh, LotR. Jesus, that shouldn't be an issue - Tolkien created, by FAR a better story, more vast and sweeping any day. Sure, his writing is heavy-handed, but at least it's not as awful as some of Rowling's literary skills. Rowwing's abilities do not exist in turning a phrase well (dear god no), but she is able to get you to keep turning the page. Stephen King is the same way. This is the difference between a novelist and a great author.

Tolkien set the bar for fantasy that people are still catering to today - even Harry Potter (what, can't you see it? Harry is obviously just Frodo, Ron is Sam, and that big spider from the second book is just Shelob...). Not to mention the fact that Rowling stole a lot of her first story...

...also, does anyone else see the obvious "Star Wars" storyline going on in HP? Granted, SW really is just a traditional heroes tale (story isn't all that individual), but it really is kinda scary. Young boy, unhappy with where he is, finds out he has secret powers he never knew of with the help of a tall, bearded man. They head to a place full of mysterious creatures the boy has never seen (Mos Eisley in SW, Daigon Alley in HP) where he has his first experiences with this awesome, uh, force (if you will). He then ends up meeting a suitably sarcastic male compatriot and a chick who is uppity and thinks a lot of herself, but can actually be rather smart, while carrying all of the sex appeal to him of his own sister. I could go on forever, but long story short the main character finds out he is somehow related to the greatest evil and that they contain the same pwoers, it is merely the choices they make that differentiate them.

....seriously, it's eeeeerie...

-Misha, who is not anti-HP, but will say that Tolkien is a much better writer...

You never played “D”. You know not of what you speak. I still own the t-shirt, but I just smile and shrug when people ask me what it’s from. I play many video games, and I'm damn good at them. But this is not the same. What if you played Pokemon Shoot? Would you be proud of that? Brag about how well you do? And if you collected and played Pokemon cards as well? If you watched Telitubbies because they may seem to have a subtle anime "feel"? Some things would be best kept in the closet.
Why don't you try to rent D. Play it. Play it and beat it. Then tell me how much you wish to brag about it, or even discuss it.
I've played MTG, that’s pretty geek to me. But all my cards are beta - that's how long ago I stopped. Do I brag? No. Do I even want to discuss this with people? No. I avoid MTG people, and talk of it, to an extreme. I usually have to leave the room when MTG fanatics are going at it. Only with trusted people will I discuss matters of MTG - and then only briefly. Why? I dunno.
I've read Harry Potter. I LIKE the books, and hate the movies. So what?
"Where else can you kill many people without the court system shoving their noses up yer butt" ... you gots issues, dude. They're mostly just a collection of point and click (mouse or game pad, doesn't matter) interfaces with a variety of themes and varying perspectives. Ya gotta lighten up on focusing on the “kill many people” issue. Or, if that’s just too much of your bag, join the army.
And comparing LotR to HP is kind of goofy. One is out dated, but the blazer of its frontier, and the other is a good modern series with the benefit of decades of literature development and polishing preceding it. Unless you wanna compare the movies - LotR, hands down.
I’m going back to my room now.

The zodiac is the puzzle – the tower rotates 1 stage at a time – your father knows and is just trying to protect you – the wall will kill you, just find the lever to turn it off – you’re the one who killed your mother – they’re all dead – the flashbacks mean nothing – always go up – watch for the differently shaded floors - it’s too late for him, just kill him – it – it – it doesn’t matter!

I have been terribly disappointed in the majority of PS2 games out there. Either I’m waxing nostalgic, or the sorry lot of them lick sweaty dead monkey testicles. I haven’t tried any of the new Castlevania games - I’ll look into that one. I do like some of them, a few of the ones I’ve found pleasantly playable are: Splinter Cell, Maximo, Tenchi, The Mark of Kri, Devil May Cry (2 is bad), Drakan, Kingdom Hearts, Blood Rayne, Ico, MGS2:SoL, and a few others - but I was surprised how a lot of the really good/quality ones seem to be the sleepers. But that’s not looking at whether or not they have much replay value. I’ve been very disappointed with the GTA series. The original GTA rocked, but … that’s long gone now. Now that would make a fun MMORPG – and it’d be so simple. Am I simply becoming jaded, or what? The first Resident Evil was awesome – the atmosphere was great! Who didn’t jump when the zombie stumbled out of the closet while you were rummaging around that desk? And shooting accuracy actually counted for something! All the REs to follow: Lame. Maybe I am just getting cynical.

Another good ps2 game that is very playable: Sly Cooper and the Thievious Raccoonus (get over the cartoony graphics and play it, you bastards, it’s AWESOME).

I agree about DMC2…I’m a DMC fanatic (I, uh, bleached my hair five times until it was white and cosplayed Dante. I used airsoft BB guns modeled after the right calibur and painted them for Ebony and Ivory, and even wrote “For Tony Redgrave” (ahh, Japanglish…it’s supposed to be “by Tony Redgrave” since he made the guns for Dante) on them), and so I love that game. Still play it.

“Fatal Frame” is AWESOME. Also sugested are: “Guilty Gear X” and “Guilty Gear XX”, if you like fighting games. “Silent Hill 2″ is also recommended, but I suggest you play SH1 first (remember, your PS2 can play PSX games, and some of those, while old, are still worth it).

And a game everyone must get: “Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick”. It’s $20 and ROCKS. Ash even asks a chick to, uh, suck the royal cigar, if ya know what I mean. To paraphrase…

“Ash, how can I ever repay you?!”
“I can think of some ways. Ever heard of a little movie called ‘Deep Throat’?”
“Oh, Ash! ::giggle:: Do you mean it?!”
“Hey, babe, saving the world is lonely business…”

And yes, Toklien can be very boring. He’s not the greatest writer ever. But at least he’s not trite, like Rowling. Funny thing is, I enjoy HP - quite a bit, actually. I just acknowledge that she’s no great writing genius, especially not compared to Tolkien, who pioneered fantasy to the extent that HP USES Tolkien’s devices.

Aigh, I wrote a novel…

Ok, peeps need ta be pimp slapped for bustin’ on JRRT! You think it was easy for him to write a whole new world, with new concepts, for the James Bond/E.A. Poe/Sherlock Holmes reading crowd??? He had to define, describe, explain, and paint the whole damn world that all of us now take for granted. He reinvented elves to the standard template you ALL use. Same with dwarves. Everything since his books have merely been ripping him off, from literature to games. And what the heck is a “hobbit”? You ALL know what one is, but that’s only because of him. You’d have to stretch pretty far, across a lot of different cultures, to say that he just borrowed from established fairy lore and mythology. He created an incredibly detailed world for his story that went on to define things that he didn’t even write into his book. He even invented different languages for his races. And the cliché of “The Dark Rider” (in print or lit.), credit him and the impact he made. Of course reading JRRT’s books seems like wading through hardening concrete, you already know all the little details that he’s dwelling and fleshing out on. But, when he wrote those books, he was having to paint them all for the first time so that people could get a feel, image, and depth of understanding of the worlds he was creating. He was a tortured soul, the fantasy world he fabricated was a safe outlet to exorcize the nightmares and demons that haunted him. Give props to where they are deserved.
And Jordan sucks. His writing is trite and brain numbing, his only redemption is his plots and over-arching story lines. The rest is all D&D themed rip offs. I stopped reading his stuff the day I sarcastically predicted the following sentence to a dull and dragging commentary of description - and it turned out to be word for word what he wrote next. I figured, why read something that reads verbatim to what I derisively mock it to be? The Belgarian series was much more enjoyable reading, and not as insulting.

Btw, Country Rat, “barb wire on our feet to keep from slipping” is just too funny. I’ve never heard that one before.

Fatal Frame, Sly Cooper and the Thievious Raccoonus, Guilty Gear X, Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick: I will definitely have to get these. I have read about them, and they are on my “to check out” list, but I think I’ll grab them the next time I see a deal on them. Sly Cooper never seems to go down in price, it must be pretty good considering it’s been out for a bit. My friends and I still like to sit around and play Abe’s Odyssey and Abe’s Exodus. CTR rocks, too. Goes with beer as well as pizza does.

How odd that asking someone if they’re homosexual is “childish and immature”, yet using “fag” as a derogatory term is a perfectly sensible and humorous gesture.

How disappointing.

Orchard | Email | Homepage | 06.27.03 - 10:29 am | #

I hate the common use of the word “fag” and “gay” in slang nowadays. It was introduced mostly by homophobes and conservatives who wanted to propagate a negative view of homosexuals by attaching a negative meaning to words dealing with homosexuality. It’s ingrained conditioning…now, when you think of these two words, you automatically think negatively, yes?

CONSPIRACY!!!

But meh, that’s just my liberal rant, because I yam homoseksual. Well, actually, I’m bi (penises can be fun as well!), but I generally tend toward the wimmins.

Homosexuals are gay. Homophobes are gay. Conservatives are gay. Rainbows are gay … but not as gay as those stupid pink triangles.
You know, if the term “fag” starts becoming more of a general derogatory remark - more akin to “asshole”, “dipshit”, “nimrod”, “ prick”, “bastard”, “fuck-wad”, and such – and less associated with gays, wouldn’t that be a good thing? After all, it was never originally a word that was supposed to be associated with homosexuals.
Sure, there’s the myth about those up-tight “conservative types” calling homosexuals “faggots” because, like a bundle of sticks, they thought that they were best off being burned … but why then are witches not also called fags? In the UK they call cigs fags. You light them up, burn them, smoke ‘em, set them to a flame – they’re just little bundles of tobacco. Its classic (Old English/Latin derived) definition is for a bundle (commonly of sticks (kindling) – faggot of *whatever*). Later it was also used to define weariness, drudgery, tiresome labor/gathering, and exhaustion (or something like that). But the common myth about the whole fag=homosexual link claims that it was in reference to burning at the stake. Why not use the term “fag” to denote any undesirable that you’d like to see set on fire? We could torch Baptists, Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses while gleefully calling them “heretic fags”. Who cares what religion you belong to, or if you even believe in god, they are a perversion of their own original faith (and will passionately denounce anyone for any belief different from their own) so they deserve to be mocked & torched. Latter-day Saints my ass.
And why not politically? Politicians? Lying fags! Burn ‘em!
People who seem to be ruining our country? Traitorous fags! Burn ‘em!
Terrorists? Filthy scum fags! Burn ‘em!
Barney and those Telitubbies? Offensive fags! Burn ‘em!
Bigots? Fucking hate-monger fags! Burn ‘em!
But I’ve heard homosexuals use the word “gay” as a non-derogatory term when discussing sexual orientation, so … I guess that it’s different. “Fag” is just more offensive by nature, unlike “gay”. But “gay” is commonly being used to describe something as, to my understanding, lame. Maybe we can use the term “hetero” to describe someone who is too uptight and straight-laced? Even if they happen to be gay. Insulting someone with “hetero” would sound so much cooler than using the word “prude”. And what about “bastard”? Anyone without a dad (due to divorce, death, a really awful mom, a delinquent dad, mental illnesses in a variety of scenarios, or what have you) may be very sensitive to the term “bas

Disreputable | Email | Homepage | 06.27.03 - 2:16 pm | #

*oops*

… sensitive to the term “bastard”. Perfectly understandable. And it’s not like you can truly hold their circumstance against them. I think that using the word “bastard” is extremely insensitive – you never know who might hear it and simply be hurt at hearing it tossed around as such. Ooh – that reminds me that I once did do a fubar faux pas along those lines, quite embarrassing.
Anyway, as a male, I may not be too fond of someone using the term “dick” in an offensive manner - because I have one and I don’t think it’s fair that I should be associated with an ass-wad because some shit-for-brains doesn’t have a creative enough vocabulary to be a little more careful with their offensive remarks. But “prick” is still derogatory, like “fag”, so that would be ok to use as a condescending remark. “Penis” just sounds too silly to be a serious insult. And what about people who might like their anuses? Should they have a right to be offended when someone uses “asshole” as a derogatory remark in defining an unsavory person? There could be a closet group of anus appreciators out there. People who would, in all seriousness, say things like “I love your asshole, it’s so perfect – so sexy … I am so envious of you”. I mean, you have people out there admiring their own hairy nut-sacks, ogling pics of clitorises/vulvas/labia, scanning their various body parts to send to begging online requestors, people thinking very dirty thoughts about feet, noses, hair, dirty laundry, and hamsters. My gf loves it when I tell her that I think she has lovely, perfect, shapely, perky, firm, petit breasts (she’s a little self-conscious about them because they’re a B cup). Why could there not be people out there who speak affectionately of assholes and who would not appreciate the term “asshole” being used in a derogatory manner?
I feel it is my social duty to insult people by using the term “fag” in an entirely non-homosexual context – a clearly non-homosexual context. Besides, “god forsaken, ass sucking, inbred, urban redneck” sometimes seems to be too much for the intended target to grasp all at once. Come to think of it, said targets probably would not be able to get past the homosexual definition of “fag” upon hearing it - regardless of the context it’s used in.

I guess my favorite fall back is still “fuck off”. It keeps life simple.

Disreputable, this is true that pretty much all insults have negative origins. “Fag”, however (which while originally came from “a bundle of sticks”, is now inseparable from it’s homosexual meaning), is more on a level with the word “nigger” than “asshole” or “prick” - those just refer to parts of the body. It’s not singling out any minority and espousing the negative aspects of them, instead it’s just using the common parts of all man to make us laugh at ourselves and possibly get really pissed off. But yeah, “fuck” is a pretty good general one to use. Although, I suffer from hypocrisy, as one of my friends got me in the habit of using “retard”, and later “fucktard” and “fuckwit”…oh the shame.

I don’t think I’m going to change the world by meekly saying I don’t agree with how it’s used. Just trying to make it in this wacky day-to-day existence.

Misha | Email | Homepage | 06.27.03 - 7:45 pm | #

Fuckwit. I gotta remember that one.

And “nigger”! Yes, another derogatory term that has become a word of common use amongst those who it was originally supposed to be derogatory towards! Like “gay”. And someone informed me that gays also use the term “fag” quite freely, but it often retains it’s negative connotations.

Disreputable | Email | Homepage | 06.27.03 - 8:23 pm | #

Um, yes, they do. “Gay” is used just to describe someone who is gay…it’s not always negative, but when used in the sense “that’s so gay!” to call something lame (lots of gay men are rather beefed up), then it IS being used negatively. Being GAY isn’t a negative thing, hence the frustration.

The reason people use the word “fag” and “nigger” when referring to themselves in their respective communities is not out of any great love for the words. By using it themselves, they hope the take the power out of the word…it’s a rebellion thing, as to say “See, it doesn’t hurt me!” when all they’re proving is yes, that it really does hurt or they would feel no need to flaunt it. Not because they’re such nifty words.

I think “fag” is derogatory on a case by case basis. Gay people can use it freely. I don’t think Hyung is being offensive, I think he’s simply lampooning sexual stereotypes, rather than putting down gay folk. We all should know by now that he doesn’t have a problem with gay people.

I think Hyung’s using it in a negative light, but that doesn’t make me care, directly. I think he means he’s a loser, but more so.

Disreputable-
Actually, I’m pretty sure that a bastard is someone ho was born, possibly even concieved, out of wedlock. Frankly, I know of maybe one instance where someone used it in the proper context.
Fags are cigarettes. In my book, “smoking a fag” has nothing to do with fellatio.
And why can’t we use “asshat”? It was CREATED to be an insult. Or, even better, steal one from “Indian Jones and the Fate of Atlantis” (awesome game) and call people “Darwinian nightmares”? THAT’s a good insult! I use it all the time.

I disagree about the (few) Devil May Cry 2 comments above. Admittedly, it is not as good as part 1 since the developers made the game too easy (only the Must Die modes are vaguely challenging). You need practically no skill to get through the game, and hence the players from part 1, who had to build some serious experience to get through feel shafted.

I completely understand that. So I’d like to suggest to these people to actually impose a difficulty barrier upon themselves and try and go for an S ranking in every Mission (Dante&Lucia)… you’ll see that suddenly, finishing a Mission becomes much more interesting, as you’ll have to have high Showtime averages, quick completion time, no hits and a sufficient amount of red orbs collected.

What do you from a full S-rank game? Well, nothing substantial (which, again, is a bad mistake from the developers) except for much more satisfaction from the game and the pleasure of having a full S-rank statistics screen. Trust me, it feels good.

Anyway, that’s my two cents on Devil May Cry. Not a good sequel, but fun when played right nonetheless. And, Harry Potter - well, the poor guy conjures up a nice pension for mrs. Rowling, so why not let him? Her book, his rules

-GASP- Its sunday at noon!! Where new CrazyKimchi?? Is this the sign of Amragedon?? Is the newest strip gonna be quest writtin by the four horse men?? Well I hear War and Pestilence are funny as hell… but the other two are WAY to wishy washy… Hey Kim!!! I’m gettin worried about you!! At least set a post to let us know your still alive!! Anyways to go with the last few of your all posts, so what if people are using these words?? I believe we can make fun of anyone we want, whenever we want, just as long as you can take what you give… fags, niggers, spiks, chinks, crackers, whops, towelheads, and the like, are not only cool words, they are cool to say too!! Not that they should be used to hurt someone, but to make fun of them!! All this politicly correct bullshit is getting WAY out of hand… assuming ya’ll are from America, our country was founded on being able to call anyone anything!! And how come us white folks get ‘cracker’?? Thats not a fun word at all!! Qwite boring… minorities got lazy when they came up with that… whitey is okay… but still kind of boring… I love honkey… why can’t we go back to that?? Now THATS a fun word!!

Me again. (who cares)

That was a fairly mature discussion on the origins/uses/responses with the term “fag” and other words. Color me impressed; I wasn’t expecting such a response.

Love the comic! Finally someone who agrees with me that Harry Potter is just a whine-ass. And I think Ron looks kind of cool!

Maybe ya could do one about LOTR as well (Gimli rules!).
