Okay, I swear to you we will have that update up before the world ends. In the meantime, I did some more drawing. See, Mr. Monocles over there really doesn't take kindly to people who insinuate he is anything but loyal. Don't worry, I'm sure they'll make up and be best friends soon after. Of course I also really liked how the original black and white looked. Maybe I'll make a print-your-own coloring book for the comic once we've made it a little further down the road. Why? BECAUSE.
I'm broken. Let's try this.
I am an adult. This is going to be the blog of an adult. Fair warning. I can, and I will talk about staying up all night at friend's apartments just to talk about life and politics and religion and saving our cash one dollar at a time to make a career for ourselves. It happens. You'll all get there sometime, and the adventure is going to be incredibly unique and mind-numbingly dull at the same time. Just do me a favor, and try to figure things out for yourselves
Our latest update, two days before the one year anniversary of BZPStuck, is a minute and a half long flash animation with special guest music from member Reznas! Stay tuned, we've got more cool stuff coming up very soon.
Hey hey guys, you know how you don't listen to the powercast? WELL GUESS WHAT THAT'S ABOUT TO CHANGE. WE DID A SEGMENT ABOUT BZPSTUCK It features pretty much the most hilarious people on the site, and also I'm there, so that's neat!
Because Rayg has a deep and terrible need. You see This beautiful creature? That's Mezco's iconic, and EXCLUSIVE Walter White action figure with Los Pollos Hermanos slip cover and accessories from the much talked about episode of Breaking Bad "The Fly". And you better believe I need that figure like I need to breathe. That said, I'd really rather not pay the eighty dollars it's going for on Ebay right now. If one you cool kids is going and would be willing to pick this sucker up for m
Now that we've started up BZPStuck, I'm working pretty excitedly on making some cool content for you guys, but I wonder, what do you guys really think so far? Like, what do you want or hope will happen with this and what do you want to see? Also, what is it you would really hate seeing? Let me know.
Just a small update for now - We're using a new banner system, and we'd like to invite any fans to feel welcome to use it as well. Everytime there's a new update, the banner will change to reflect that to remind you and other members to check it out even if you don't normally visit GD. Super sweet! The Image and the code, for your convenience. [url=http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=3441][img=http://www.majhost.com/gallery/OuterRayg/BZPStuck/webbanner.gif][/url]
Wow, Smeag sure has made a splash on the scene with his entry into BZPStuck! As the first of many characters to come let's welcome him and secretly hope he stops making so many jokes about musicians I don't know so I don't feel so left out! Just kidding, the more obscure the better. He wouldn't have it any other way. We'll probably be seeing one or two more new characters before we get back to Ray in any serious fashion, but once we do you better believe stuff is going to be kicked into high g
We're trying a new thing in BZPStuck: Voting! While commands are still a great way to drive the story forward, now you have a more direct method to tell us what to do. Our first poll is a relatively simple plot point - what sort of weapon Hannah will be wielding, but as we go on you're going to see more and more interesting choices (What should brian do, burn down his house or eat all his vegetables??). Of course, those will only happen if I see this getting a good turnout, so do yourself a favo
Seriously I did NOT think people would care this much about it! Sorry about the black pixel! I'd fix it but bossman six is the only one with the ability to reupload the forum skin images.
Just as an FYI to all my loyal and loving fans, who I'm sure number in the hundreds if not thousands, the slow down you are seeing right now on BZPStuck is absolutely temporary; you see, this last two weeks has been a period where I'm completely focused on finishing the final senior show for my college. It's the culmination of four years of work, and as you can imagine, it ain't easy. Smeag has likewise been pretty busy, but he has also had to deal with some pretty nasty sickness which only comp
So I'm supposed to be designing a t-shirt right now but you better believe I'm chatting it up with some girl who gave me her number today instead.
Rayg be pimpin all around this here blog yo!
Seriously though come Monday I'm going to be bending rules to my whim like CERAZY I'm telling you guys. Bunker down NOW it's gonna be a storm and nobody will be left standing.
Background: I'm a Design Student at the University of Central Oklahoma. A good one. There can't be modesty in that kind of industry; selling yourself is half the battle.
That's what I'd like to talk about. I've got a future post detailing exactly how you can take good design and turn it into great design. It's about knowing why you do what you do, and being able to explain it coherently. Selling yourself.
The Industry of Design is different from art; it's not about expressing yourself, it
Alright, so I'll just give this a good old ramble:
Brickfair started with Pat coming over to my house, because we had elected to take the bus together this year. Pat, for those not in the know, is our own Darth Vader, and is incredibly awesome in real life. I know you guys like hating on him for his reviews, but hey, somebody has to tell the truth. So anyway we hung out and went to see Inception because he had not yet seen it.
Okay quick Inception break: This movie is just one great film.
Holy cow, it's finally done. That definitely went like three days over what I planned for it, but man it feels good to be able to see the finished product. If you guys haven't seen it, please go check out the comic thread to see the capstone for my beginning arc. Now we get to the fun part, where our next character makes an appearance and we start really exploring the dynamics between characters. Stay tuned folks - we're just getting started.
Whew, just under the wire on that update! Still, despite preperation for graduation, work overtime, and sleepless nights on both Smeag and I's part, we're keeping to a somewhat regular schedule and for that I'm glad. Here in the upcoming week and a half we're going to be debuting yet another flash, and then soon after that, our third (and maybe fourth?) character! I know you're excited, because this means we'll have hit the halfway mark and it's where stuff really starts to get out of hand. So s
So there we go, our first week was a rousing success I would like to think. Either the critics are being silent or everyone is enjoying it, which is a good thing. Hopefully as this continues more of BZP will be getting involved and we can bring some life back to GD and the forums in general. Anyway, although it's not the most technically impressive thing our first real flash also got posted, with some major props to Ryan Bratton, a non-BZP friend of a friend who provided the customized sweet t
Hanging out with some of my awesome friends at Brickfair convinced me that maybe there was more to this blogging thing than I had first believed. So now that I'm back from there I need some good suggestions on blogs to check out. Savvy?
Hey, this is just a quick shout out to one of the coolest people at Brickfair. He's not really a member here, but people who went know who he is. He's the guy who originally got me to come to Brickfair back in 2006 and for that I owe him a million thanks because it has since turned out to be a defining point in my life, really he is one of my best friends and the things he's done for me and our group are too innumerable to count. It's true, not everyone gets along with him and he can come off as
