Anthony: Reload!
Just like you can't stop people like Jennifer Lopez and Paris Hilton from getting movie deals, you can't stop Stan and Steve Comics from providing you with low quality shit to waste your life on! Like the crappy picture above this suggests, brand new comics will begin magically appearing on a brand new site as soon as a brand new month gets brand new here. Wait, scratch that last 'brand new'. Keep everything else.
Anyhoo, this sudden change was brought on by the fact that both Nick and I had been consumed until a few weeks ago by the Great Satan. I mean Senior Project. A word of advice for all incoming seniors: leave every shred of work until the day before. Seriously.
Oh, and I got a job. It's at Pump It Up, which is this place where people can go and bounce on inflatable things.
See you in July!
March 1st 2005
Anthony: Hiatus
As you may have noticed, there hasn't been a comic in about... 4 months now. I should've said something earlier, but... whatever, it's not like anyone's gonna read this anyway. And in the remote chance that this does get read... we'll be back making comics... eventually.
January 10th 2005
Anthony: Um... yeah.
Uh... so... it's been like... a month... again... Um... yeah, sorry about this you guys, I really am. Maybe I'm losing interest in doing this... Maybe not. Who knows? I need a change of pace. So we're starting "Fan Appreciation Month." Probably will last longer than a month. Email me scripts for comics and I'll make them into actual strips. If they're good, that is.
Oh and also, as of yesterday, we've had our Freewebs account for a year. Hooray for that.
December 5th 2004
Anthony: Atonement
Wow, did this all in one day... go me. And two days early! Woo!
November 30th, 2004
Anthony: What?! A new comic?! AHH!
It's officially been about a month and a half since the last Stan and Steve. What have I been doing, you ask? A whole lot of nothing, that's what. I'm behind in school, my senior project progress is laughable and I still don't have a job (although I start teaching ski school soon)... I don't know... this comicing stuff is great fun and all, I just haven't been in the mood for it lately. That all changes now. I'm back on a Tuesday update schedule if I have to make them in MSPaint. But I wouldn't do that to you guys... at least not anymore.
Aaaaaanyway, moving on, November 9th was the one year anniversary of the launch of the original Stan and Steve website. You remember... the old Angelfire piece of garbage. Heh... yeah. Those were the days. Hopefully sometime in the future we'll move to www.stanandsteve.com, but that probably won't be for a while. Talk to Nick about that one.
Anyway, see you in a week. I promise.
Nick: Read Me
Hi.
I’m not going to bore you with telling our overall progress, or where we are going, or etc. I think there has been enough news posts dedicated on how we are trying desperately to get on schedule, whether it is our web-hosting overlords or life’s crusade trying to slow us down. Here is a general update of what is currently going on:
The new site is on hold, mainly because I have no time to really sit down and work on it. I’m not going to try to find a scapegoat to blame this reason on, ill just spill out the truth here:
The senior project and among other academic barriers are jutting in the way. I have to say that in terms of homework, this has to be the easiest year that I have had in a long time at our high school. That being said, the senior project has taken an ugly and annoying leap into my life. What annoys me to no end is that the senior project does not need to be annoying. After reading and rereading the directions for this project, it’s quite apparent that this thing is only exists as a mammoth in the minds of our beloved teachers and school administrators. For the past several years this project has been lectured to us as if it was the second coming of Christ. If one took a step back and looked at the project more closely, they would see a simple task that is more political than academic. You would not know that if you talked to anyone about it though. I actually like my parents, so I feel bad complaining about them on my own site, but they have been totally consumed by the hype. My conversations with them now consist of me answering…and re-answering…and assuring that certain things are being done on my project. Let me repeat myself, almost 99.99% of my conversations with my parents are about my senior project. If this doesn’t scream “stress”, I have no fucking clue what does. I broke down almost mentally recently thanks to this. Thankfully some variety in the conversations has recently come up, thanks to mid-quarter I am now drilled on my grades that I have repeatedly answered are fine. Oh, also thanks to the election I get to now participate with endless conversations about the government… Yippie…
When I am done in the day, the last thing that I want to do is sit down and learn php for our new site, or work on anything that I don’t want to. Ill still write for this site, I like writing a lot, but in terms of web construction I am simply not up to the task yet. Hopefully things will level out soon and I wont be as jacked up mentally.
Anthony has been put on house arrest from his father (and his sister to for reasons I cant understand at all.) for a small gathering that took place at his house after homecoming. Neighbors complained, and the rest is history. Not only has he been grounded, but driving privileges were also taken from him. So, thanks to Anthony’s bizarre urge to have fun during homecoming (what the fuck was he thinking :P) he has now been lost into the confines of his home. We at Stan and Steve comics will support Anthony’s trial of imprisonment; we wish the best of luck for him. Support him on the guestbook.
He has said the next comic is coming soon though, hurrah!
October 13th 2004
Anthony: Ugh... I'm really sorry.
OK.... I'm updating the site at school because it's really the only computer I have access to. I no longer have any access to any computer with Flash installed, and will not for at least another week and a half. I really want to give this comic thing some kind of good solid consistent schedule... Things keep getting in my way. I swear to you the fans that I will have this comic on a consistent once a week schedule by the end of the year. I swear it.
In other news, Homecoming was this past Saturday. As you all should know, I used the comic in my clever ploy to acquire a date. It was a great time and if anybody cares to see the pictures, drop me an email at smallpryz2pay@hotmail.com and I'll show ya.
September 30th 2004
Anthony: The first of many... hopefully
Oh god... it's a mess. Are you ready for a slough of excuses? Cuz here they come. First I was at my dad's house. I don't have Flash here, at least, I do, but the computer it's on hasnt worked in months. The I went to my mom's house. The computer with Flash there worked for maybe an hour before crapping out. Also, the internet at my mom's doesn't work either. On either computer. So today I finally got the computer at my mom's with Flash to work, churned out this bad boy in maybe 2 hours, put it on a floppy, brought it to my dad's (at first when I got here the internet wasn't working either and I was about to shoot myself) and uploaded it for your viewing pleasure. So now... hopefully... I can get back on that once a week lovelyness.
Anyhoo, on to the comic itself. I know I say this about every comic, but seriously, this is the best one artistically, in my opinion. See the gradients? Do you? DO YOU? Cuz they're there! You just wait until I take that drawing class next semester... boy are you guys in for some quality artwork.
Oh, and guess who sent me three very funny and one not so funny scripts? That's right, Nick did! So you guys are set for at least a month.
If you read all of that, pat yourself on the back.
September 21st 2004
Anthony: Cop out
Yeah yeah... So it's a copout. I really am having technical difficulties though. I'm at me dad's house and the computer that has Flash on it isn't working. So I went over to my mom's today for afew hours and churned this out.
Nick hasn't been sending me scripts, so I decided to start writing them myself. I'm sick of using that as an excuse to not make comics. It's not fair to you, the fans, and I really hate myself for being lazy. I really want this to be a once a week, on schedule, reliably updated webcomic. Hopefully having a better, non-Freewebs site will help with that.
So you guys will have a comic next week, I promise.
September 15th 2004
Anthony: (No Subject)
I hope Nick doesn't get all mad at me for using our webspace for this, but hey, I thought it was a good idea. I suppose all the explaination needed for this strip is already in the strip... So...
Hey, look, I'm on schedule. Hopefully this once a week thing will be permanent.
Nick's Response:
No I don’t care. No, don’t do this again.
-- Insert retarded “awwww” sound while reading Anthony’s update.--
She better say “yes” damnit :P
Anthony's response to Nick's response:
Thank you Nick for your ongoing support. You're like a brother to me. Jerk. Nah, I'm joking, it's all good.
Oh, and yeah, she said yes. Which is good.
September 9th 2004
Anthony: It's been a while...
Wow, it's been a month since I've put up a comic I did myself... I almost forgot my password for my image host. Anyhoo, this is the new comic and now that I'm in school it'll be a once a week thing. I actually already have next week's done but.... oh well.
In other news, I have English first period with Nick which gives me a great opportunity to bitch him out about whatever the fuck I feel like bitching him out about. Which is a lot of stuff and happens a lot of the time. He's like my whipping boy.
August 28th 2004
Nick: An actual update
It may seem that things are going a tad bit slow here, but that’s far from the truth. Reality is were on the precipice of this cliff that’s doing a damn good job of trying to stop us. The cliff has failed, and this site is changing soon.
So it’s a good time to give you an update on our new site. Were leaving FreeWebs for a number of reasons, the main reason is that this project is too big for it. We will be moving into either a “.com” or “.net” or “.org” or “.-insert whatever the fuck you want here”, you get my general idea. Anthony and I are not expert website making gurus, and considering were semi-serious about this whole Stan and Steve concept we have to stare at our situation at a semi-serious way.
I know what I want for the site. It’s going to be PHP enabled, this is going to allow us to archive a lot of comics in a professional manner. The news posts hopefully will be interactive; you could post comments to the news posts. And we will have a fully functional Forum. While I, personally, look down on mass social interaction I have enough sense to know that the more feedback the better we can make comics.
The problem is simple. Tutorials and ReadMe files for enabling pre-made scripts into websites are written for people who are already experts on the topic. It’s easy to set up if you already have webspace online, but I want to have this site in working order before we go out and buy the webspace that will host it. If you understand PHP, MySQL, and Apache feel free to give some pointers in the guest book, or better yet email me: vidiotY2k@hotmail.com
Only in a guest-comic from FanBoys will you ever see Stan in pink shorts :P
August 26th 2004
Anthony: My summer's been nice.
Well... here's a nice little guest strip from Fanboys. We did another tradeoff. So here's the strip I did for them.
Oh, just to let you all know, the delay in the latest comic was all my fault, so don't blame the Fanboys. We only decided to do another tradeoff on Monday. And it is now Thursday. So as you can see, they got their shit done on time. Before that I was just being a slacker. A lazy good-for-nothing pig-screwing slacker.
I have to say that all in all, my summer's been pretty good to me. It's had its ups and downs, but when all is said and done it's been one to remember.
August 17th 2004
Nick: Weekly Mega Rant: Stupid movies, Stupid companies
While Anthony is working on the next comic, and while we all sit back and try to enjoy the last bit of vacation we might have until returning to the salt mines, I would like to once again bitch about a variety of different topics none of them the least bit interesting to anyone who happens to grace this wonderful site of ours. But the fact of me complaining sparks curiosity within you, and because you really having nothing better to do (Face it, look at the website you are on, you obviously have nothing better to do.) for some reason you are compelled to stay and read the complaints of a 17 year old, who happens to complain about things worse than your senile grandfather.
The end of summer movies are lining up to be a dizzying foray into the realm of “what haven’t we tried to end the world with” and “what death defying situations haven’t we thought of” category. Cellular to be released this September falls into the latter category. In the movie a woman is being kept kidnapped in what seems to be the attic of a home. Her kidnapper breaks the only viable means of outside communication in the attic by putting a sledgehammer to good work against a phone. Miraculously while she is locked in the room she is able to reconstruct to some degree the phone in its basic form and makes a random call to some guys cell phone. If he hangs up for phone technicalities that I don’t understand she will die and the connection will be lost. (Apparently this cell phone is not equipped with advanced “phone number displaying” technology. But as the trailer points out, it can send videos to other phones and electronic devices just fine…But asking to show the phone number of the caller is way too much.) For even more confusing reasons I don’t understand is her inability to call 911. At least, one would think if you were being kidnapped, and the kidnapper was talking about how he was going to kill your son (There’s also a conspiracy! Yippe!) like all typical Hollywood thrillers calling the authorities is way too much to ask. Even if there were some barrier for her to call 911, you would think the random guy would consider getting in touch with the police. So this random guy must find her, rescue her son and also untangle a web of conspiracy that I honestly am already bored with. With a director that did such grand epic films such as Final Destination II: Why are we making a sequel to this shit? (Which was its official title by the way.) I’m sure that Cellular is going to make sweeping success, despite its really obvious plot holes and story problems I can already see from the trailer that runs about a couple minutes.
Granted, this is ironically the type of film I wouldn’t mind seeing. I like thrillers, when done correctly they could be entertaining. I’m also basing this entire bitch streak on a single trailer and a limiting official website. After the repulsive CatWoman however, that anyone with common sense could figure out was bad from the trailer, I’m inclined to see if other films follow that same route. I try to keep an open mind, but with such great dire moments as shooting up a shopping mall in order to get a phone charger (OH NO! The cell phone’s battery is running out! DRAMA!) And great one-liners such as: “All I did was answer my phone!” after being asked why this man is involved with this situation. Already I’m beginning to chuckle. In fact when the cell phone charger scene came on I began to laugh uncontrollably. C’mon Hollywood! A cell phone?! What’s next? The world is destroyed by a virus transmitted by the cuteness of bunnies??!!!
In other news monopolysoft…Errr…Microsoft… Is finally releasing Service Pack 2 for their Windows XP operating system. This Service Pack is something I’ve been looking forward too; the amount of security features being added to the XP OS is something that has been needed for a very long time. When I heard recently that their might be some incompatibility issues with some software with the new service pack I shrugged it off. “This is Microsoft, these guys have been working on this thing for a long time, they wont fuck it up! It’s the goddamn service pack 2 for Christ’s sake!” This is what I told myself for the past month or two. So you could understand my surprise when I read the list of programs that have incompatibility issues with the new Service Pack. I got a little frustrated when I read that over a third of the software that I have installed has incompatibility issues. Such basic programs as ZoneAlarm the much-used basic firewall security program, the annoying Norton AntiVirus all have incompatibility issues. Even games, just about everything that was released this year has issues such as Max Payne 2 and Knights of the Old Republic. They still can run, but the fact that they have any issues at all is something that gets me annoyed. You tell me that with all of the X-billions of dollars Microsoft has, they couldn’t fix this before they released this delayed Service Pack? Not everyone is a computer genius that has the time and patience to find work-arounds for something like this. I sure can, but Grandma Milly that is now trying to get WarCraft 3 to run for her young son sure cant. UGH!
Nick: DOOMED!
Take a guess what today’s rambling is about? Here’s a hint, it’s about a game… Don’t think too hard now you might hurt yourself.
If you haven’t been watching the news or reading a newspaper for the last week, I will clarify myself here: The highly anticipated Doom 3 has finally been released.
I have it and I am disappointed to some degree. It looks great, but its still a barebones shoot all the zombies first person shooter. It’s not hard, it is very scary, but the gameplay is really lacking. It’s fun, just not revolutionary. GameSpot has this excellent review of it that sums up everything I feel about the game.
FUN RAMBLE TIME! :
You probably saw Doom 3 it on the news, each time I did I was still fascinated at the news anchors compulsion to tell us that it’s violent.
I know it’s not as bad when mortal kombat came out, but for some reason or another I’m still annoyed by violent video game bashing. In Europe newspapers ran headlines that I found very intriguing. I searched all over the place for a decent picture of the front page in question. The headline literally said: BAN THESE EVIL GAMES!
I thought people have matured since the days of Columbine. I thought people would stop playing the blame game, stop pointing fingers at any form of media that they had distaste for. Columbine is a great example of this. I’m sure you all remember the massive amounts of attacks that Marilyn Manson had after the incident. How the two shooters listened to his music and then were “influenced” to go kill their classmates. Reality was that neither killer really liked Marilyn Manson’s music…they liked techno…opps.
So when papers across Europe begin pointing fingers at Man-Hunt the violent and appropriately rated mature game for the horrible murder of a kid with a knife…I don’t tend to take it pretty seriously. So, I wasn’t exactly surprised when I learned that it was actually the victim that owned Man-Hunt…Not the killer…opps again.
I find it intriguing that the news consistently thinks that children and teenagers are incredibly stupid. As if the moment they see an action movie, listen to violent music, or play a violent video game, we instantly become walking zombies in reality and attempt to duplicate the events that we have just witnessed. I agree that people become desensitized to violence when they watch violent behavior. I don’t see the connection of exclaiming how cool Arnold Swartzenegger was shooting bad guys in a movie, and going out and shooting someone in real life because you saw Arnold shoot people. The type of people that WOULD do this because of watching Arnold must have a very small grasp on reality, and would need serious medication. Lets face it; people that murder other people have more problems than a Doom game.
If you are a parent, confused and scared of the video game market wanting just to get a non-violent game for your five year old kid here’s a hint: Games have ratings. In fact they have had them FOR MORE THAN A DECADE. Read the obnoxiously large letter on the game box, if it says “M” followed by “MATURE 17+” below it…Their might be a chance that it’s violent… I know it sounds like a crazy idea, but actually reading the content on the videogame box, other than the price tag, might help you make the appropriate purchase for your young son or daughter. Just a thought really…
July 29th 2004
Anthony: Woah...
Ok so yeah. This comic is slightly late. But only slightly. Over the last week there have been certain... new developments that have been diverting my attention. That and my dad's been making me come work for him at his office. Good news is I'm makin' cash money bling bling dolla dolla bill ya'll. Bad news is you guys get skimped on comics. So... yeah.
I decided to cut Steve's hair because... Well... It was too long. So get used to it, he's staying like this.
Also, go see Napoleon Dynamite. Holy God is it ever funny.
July 22nd 2004
Nick: A sad day indeed…
It is official folks, it seems that Harold & Kumar’s retarded pilgrimage to the worst fast food restaurant conceived by man has beaten Halley Barry wearing black latex.
Who could have predicted this turn of events? When witnessing the first teaser trailers of the CatWoman movie, who would have thought it would have turned out into a cheesy, unfocused pile of mildew which only purpose was to show more of Halley Barry’s cleavage? When my eyes first witnessed thou trailer I thought it was academy award material of the highest quality, comparable to such Hollywood gold as Casablanca, Saving Private Ryan, and the life altering Starship Troopers…2… Which was so good it was only released on DVD, too good to be shown on the silver screen.
Today is a sad day indeed.
(Note: Some people say sarcasm does not translate over the Internet. This “Note” is to inform the mentally retarded that the entire above paragraph(s) were total sarcastic bullshit. I’m trying to make a point people. I find it amazing these reviewers are surprised that catwoman sucked as bad as it is, spiderman 2 seems to have a hold over them still.)
(Other notice: Even though CatWoman is a bad movie, we must all notice that Halley Barry looks nice in a scantly clad leather cat costume. Its like going to Hooters, say to your parents you go there for the food.)
July 19th 2004
Nick: doh
Oh, this new comic rocks. If you havent noticed by now...We don't like Disney that much...
July 19th 2004
Nick: uh-huh
Yes folks. The videos of the dead children in Baghdad, our marines being killed on the road by bombs and the documents that said that most of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and not either Iraq or even Afghanistan for that matter was made up by the liberal media. Also that charming video of marines literally busting into buildings in the dead of night scaring to death families. Oh, and that interview of that marine talking about how they shot just about anything that moved when they first when in was acted out. Also the marine that sent a letter to his mother prior to his death telling her to stop Bush and get him out.
In other news all the planets happen to revolve around the earth, which also happens to be flat.
Before you make assumptions of me I agree with Anthony that this documentary needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Never in it does Michael ever talk about how Saddam committed mass genocide among his people. And the questions it brought up about Bush and his connections with the Saudis were a tad bit odd.
What I really want to know more about is the fact we didn’t even interview or asks questions to the Osama family. In fact we sent them all out of the country after 9/11. What the fuck is that all about?!
I don’t understand what’s the freaking fuss over this movie. If you scoff it off as nothing more than a liberal bush blast off then you are defiantly missing the point. If you scoff at it and then attack it for what it is, you have nothing to really stand your ground on. Like Anthony said, watch the O’Rilly factor some time. Amazing how one person can never be wrong no matter the situation. Or any other shows on that channel, if you believe that massive amount of garbage you need your head examined.
Sorry the movie had a massive impact on me. I need to go see I-Robot.
Have I said enough? I can go on for hours, this subject itself is tearing America in two and I’m sure were all sick of it. That’s because you know, Bush said he was a uniter and not a divider…wait…
Preview pics of the new website will be revealed soon.
July 19th 2004
Anthony: More of the funny
Here you go, fans. Yes we're ripping on Disney again. If you don't like it you can go die. I mean... um... stick around till next week?
Anyway, as Nick said, he went and saw Fairytale 9/11. Don't get me wrong, folks, I'm not that big on Bush myself. I just think that people like Michael Moore are only doing shit like this to try and find some way to rip on Bush. Most of the facts in any Michael Moore book or movie are so incredibly stretched and skewed and one-sided that they paint an incredibly inaccurate picture of the state of things. You really have to take it with a grain of salt and not just accept everything that's force-fed to you, be it in anything you see in the liberal media (like a Michael Moore movie) or something you see on a right-wing news program, like the O'Rielly Factor. And that's my two cents.
July 18th 2004
Nick: Im tired...I think...
Anthony is in the process of finishing our newest comic. I think it’s shaping up to be our best one yet.
I need to say something though, its 12:24 at night and I’ve just returned from Fahrenheit 9/11. Regardless of what you think of the war effort, regardless of what your political ideology is, I honestly wish that a lot of people will go see that film.
Michal Moore is known to twist things up a bit, that’s because he has an opinion. To have an opinion for anything that you believe in strongly is to be ignorant of the other side of things. The movie asks more questions than it answers, some pretty damn good ones at that. I haven’t been in favor of Bush for quite a while, this film has pushed me over the thin line of me not liking him. The movie shows the ramifications of people sacrificing themselves, it shows combat, and its put together in a way I have never seen before for a documentary. Or any film like it.
…Wait, I don’t think there is something like it…
The worst thing you can do is not to go see it.
Republican, Democrat, Anarchist, Mule worshipper, whatever the fuck you believe in this film will make an impression on you regardless.
That’s my two cents, I had to say something…its 12:40 now… Who sleeps anyway?
July 12th 2004
Nick: ?hrm?
I'm not sure, but I think your trying to tell me something...hmmmmm....
July 12th 2004
Anthony: Sarcasm Ahoy!
I like email. Email makes lots of things possible, such as discussing switching webhosts with your comicing partner. It is also useful for sending things like scripts for new comics. I also love how it's free and easy and takes virtually no time to use. You know what else I like, that has many of the same capabilities? AOL Instant Messenger. And also MSN Messenger. And also Yahoo Messenger. And also ICQ. And also IRC. And also, which is my absolute favorite, the telephone. The telephone was invented in 1875, patented in 1876, and is now in virtually every home in the country. It allows people to speak to one another over vast distances about important decisions and events. Yet another marvel of man is his ability of motion. Man has two protrusions stemming from the bottom of his torso, known as legs, which enable us to walk places and see people and discuss things with them.
/End bitching. We now return you to your regularly scheduled comics already in preogress.
July 11th 2004
Nick: We are moving
(Gomen for the poor spelling, spellchecker is acting goofy)
We are moving. I think thats simple enough to understand. We are too big for freewebs, and my plans for this site, and where I want this site to go simply conflicts with the walls FreeWebs has placed. We are going to miss freewebs, but one day this might be a ".com" or ".org" or whatever. Simply put, their are other free services that dont have limits to how much stuff we can put up. They also dont have ads either. So we are going to move, we will continue to do comics, put we are going to move from FreeWebs. Our site will be more stable and more reliable than the department of homeland security website.... Which isnt that difficult to do.
And the site, place we are going to have will not only have a FAQ (:P) but will be 1000% better than this site.
Granted, I will do everything in my power to help everyone get thier links all set.
Oh and yes, this is why Ive been gone for the past month. Contrary to the reports of me being killed by west nile virus.
July 6th 2004
Anthony: I lied last time
I don't really hate making these comics. I just hate sitting down the day before the next one is due with no script and hoping something falls out of my ass and makes a good strip. I need scripts. That's Nick's job. So yell at him.
I'm proud of this strip. I think it rocks.
Interesting side note: Spiderman was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Great comics always come from Stan and Steve
July 4th 2004
Anthony: This gets to be your comic today.
Hey guess what I just learned? I'm lazy. And I hate drawing. And I hate these comics. I honest to god do not enjoy making them. But for some reason I'm still going to. Why? Because I like entertaining people. And you guys seem to like this stuff. So they're going to keep coming, wether I want them to or not.
Anyway, today's strip was started off by me and ended beautifully by Drew McCornack. He did about 85% of the script on this one, and about 90% of the drawing. I saw 90% because he copy pasted some of my work from previous strips. But he did a vast majority of this strip.
Have a good summer, everyone, I don't know when you'll have a new Stan and Steve.
July 4th 2004
Nick: Summer Fabrication
This update is about two pages long. I need to write a lot :P
When Thursday rolled about, I was pretty damn excited for this vacation. That was of course before I learned it ended in eight weeks.
Regardless of how pathetically short this years vacation is, I endured and am now attempting to get the most out of it...to some degree.
Your probably wondering why their was no update on Monday, believe it or not, due to complications that I will discuss later, I have had less free time on the computer than during the school year. I know, it doesn't make sense, logic would point its supposed to be the other way around. But no, not for me.
Most of it had to do with a camping trip that started the day I got out. It was fun that is if you think fun is camping out with a bunch of nine-year-old Cub Scout's is fun. My brother is part of Cub Scout's, and I was dragged along. It would have been selfish and stupid to complain excessively about it. So I didn't.
After "recovering" for two days after the ordeal my uncle came over complete with family. This has been the highlight of my summer so far, it was really good to see parts of my family visit me.
I also saw the new Seattle public library, which is by far the most mammoth and sophisticated fucking building I've ever been too. If you plan on visiting the Seattle area any time soon, you have too see this library. I HATE LIBRARY'S, but this one kicks ass on so many levels it's a sight to behold. You are a fool if you don't go see it.
I had this plan of playing through the Silent Hill series and Resident Evil series also finishing the chronicles of Riddick xbox game and finally beating Knights of the old Republic. Also there is Xenogears, which I am very close to finally conquering soon.
Which brings me to my dilemma. My family has deemed me, this past week, during my vacation, to be addicted to computers and electronic devices. My internal response to this: DUH. The sky is also blue. I have amazing luck these days, when my vacation, the one that I have been looking forward to all year, the one that also happens to be the shortest summer vacations of all time rolls around, I am deemed addicted to computers and am now limited to be on them. Someone shoot me. I don't know exactly the proper way to react to this, I agree I like computers a lot, addicted might be pushing the envelope a bit. After taking away all my electronic privileges during the last week of finals in order to make me concentrate harder (and to also punish me for mediocre grades.) I am now "addicted to electronic devices". Its kind of like I'm still in finals week. It's just the controllers and keyboards are still plugged in and I am shunned to get on. If I am truly addicted to this stuff, why now? Why during vacation is this brought up? Now I might be wrong, (post thoughts on the guestbook to ever contradict anything I say here I don't mind.) but isn't the purpose of a vacation to be able to do things and be selfish without the limitation of a third party telling you what to do? With something as massive a "Summer vacation" which is the granddaddy of all vacations ever conceived by man, consistently shown in our media to be the best thing since sliced bread rolls around you would think I would get a break!
This is like having Christmas without presents, Halloween without candy, or thanksgiving without the disgusting turkey. Logic would follow that someone would be able to do the things they want to do during their own goddamn vacation! I can't even do the online class I want to do, the laptop my father set up for me in my room is frickin password protected. Jesus, it just gets better and better.
I'm seeing spiderman 2 today: JULY 4th, 2004. Why? BECAUSE I WANT TO! Selfish? YES! IT'S MY SUMMER VACATION! ARG!
That's all, you may now return to your perfect vacations in progress.
The astute observer will notice that Stan looks vaguely different. This is because I gave him shoulders. Shoulders, as I have noticed through the dislocation of my own, are very important. I also gave him a 100% black outline. He's just easier to work with that way. If anyone cares, I plan to change Steve as well, but more drastically than just the addition of shoulders. Wait a while, it'll come.
Nick: I am alive
Sorry for not updating at all this month, but I have had some problems with my computer at home. As of now I am currently erasing the C drive on my computer. Like I said before this is something that I should have done a long time ago. The main problem with this is that I have not been able to get on the computer for at least a couple weeks. I don?t know the exact specifics of what we are doing with the computer, but I think we are partitioning the drive or something like that. Honestly I have no idea what?s going on :P
Anyway, Anthony is almost done with the next comic, during lunch today he said it was going ?slowly.? Whatever.
The new Harry Potter film is something I want to comment about. Out of all the summers I can remember this one seems pretty damn cool in terms of movies. We had Shrek 2, Harry Potter 3, Riddick, and even that Around the world in 80 days that has a good chance of stinking?But kung fu is cool regardless? But it?s pretty certain it?s going to suck.
The new director for Harry Potter 3 did some things that some diehard fans of the movies are going to be weary about. The total absence of a tripod for some scenes resulting in the effect of a ?shaky cam? is one aspect. Also there were some scenes that were not elaborated on enough, but honestly? Who gives a fuck.
You have to have respect for a director who has been able to condense a book that?s longer than the last two in a film with about the same length.
Someone stole my yearbook. Whoever this bastard is?
And that?s it. Whatever.
June 4th 2004
Anthony: This one took sooooo long.
Baugh... so much effort... Anyways, This one I couldn't think of a punchline for, so I asked my friend Zak from Florida. He didn't even ask for a script, he just said it had to have a pirate, and he had to be saying that line. I liked it so much cuz it fit so well into the story... sort of. But yeah, enjoy.
Oh, also, I redrew Cassie. I think she looks a hell of a lot better now. she's not as hunched over or slutty looking. Thanks to Sam Speer of Fanboys for a "lesson" in drawing ladies. And by lesson I mean I drew (NOT TRACED, DAMMIT, THAT'S PLAGARISM) one of their ladies about 70 times so I could get it right. Sorry if that bothers you Sam, I'll change her back if it does.
June 3rd 2004
Anthony: Ouch.
Ok, so today in gym class, some idiot pushed me over when we were jogging and I fell into a wall and dislocated my shoulder. So comics for a while might be (more) poorly drawn. So sorry.
June 1st 2004
Anthony: Guuuhhhhh.....
Wow, doing 2 comics a week is draining. Especially since this one took me 3 and a half hours to draw. However it's the first one that Nick wrote and I drew. Expect more.
Everyone, go see Mean Girls. It's sooooo funny, not to mention Lindsay Lohan is incredibly hot.
May 29th 2004
Nick: ???
To clarify Anthony's last update, I am writing the comics now and Anthony is making them. We realized that our comics need constancy, and that doesn't happen when you have two people making there own comics. Also, Anthony has a wakum-tablet and a scanner and other forms of hardware I don't have.
I gave this some massive thought this last week. It was a logical conclusion at the end; there were more pros than cons. I like writing more than drawing, not to say I hate drawing. I like doodling, but writing is a whole lot better. Writing the comics is a lot more fun too, because it gives me more time to think about the comic and less on how Photoshop is going to handle the text balloon.
I'm also still elite Webmaster here. I'm sill maintaining the site, making sure it doesn't fall apart.
Now comes something I know at least Anthony wants to know, and you do too. The FAQ.
It's done, but I want more user asked questions, I barely have any. Send me some mail: vidiotY2k@hotmail.com PLEASE! Or better yet, just ask a question on our guest-book.
When the FAQ launches, so will another section of the site as well. ?History of Stan and Steve?, which is a little something I've been working in conjunction with the FAQ. (One of the main reasons I keep delaying it.)
I'm also about 60% done with the "thing" that will replace the reviews section.
So when can we expect all this amazing updating amazing-ness? Probably the end of middle or end of June. Why the long wait? I'm whipping out my C Drive. I've had enough, I haven't done something like this since we got the Dell and now it's beginning to act goofier than usual. I'm backing up the desirable things now, and letting go of the gigs of crap I've stored here for the past couple years. Its time.
Anyway that's all for today at least.
May 27th 2004
Anthony: Changes
Ok... ok. So, Nick's gonna be a writer now, and I'm the full time artist. Hooray. I get to waste more of my time burning my retinas making comics. Yay!
So this week's strip isn't quite as good as last week's Fanboys guest strip. I'm sorry. They're better.
May 22nd 2004
Anthony: I told you so...
I told you it was gonna be big. IT'S A FRIGGIN GUEST STRIP. FROM FRIGGIN FANBOYS. NEED I REPEAT?! FANBOYS?!
What?! You've never read Fanboys? I should kill you. Go to their site. RIGHT. FRIGGIN. NOW. You'll notice a sexy little strip I drew up for them. It's quid pro quo in the comic game. Awwwww yeeeeeaaahh...
May 21st 2004
Nick: WTF
HEY! IT'S A BALD GAME! W00t!
We should put that picture up each time we fuck up getting our comics up :P
May 21st 2004
Anthony: Meh...
Ok, yeah, I didn't put one up today. It'll be up tomorrow. I promise, it'll be huge. Like, mega-awesome-huge-sauce. You'll all love it. I swear. Um............ Yeah.
May 18th 2004
Nick: ie-thwee
This last week was awesome in the world of video games. The Electronic Entertainment Expo (aka: E3) was last week. Of all the E3's in the past this one seemed exceptionally good this year, a large amount of amazing titles are coming out this upcoming year. The new Zelda game has ditched the cartoon cell shading from the last game; Halo 2 is going to rock, Final Fantasy XII looks phenomenal, and lets not forget Half Life 2, which WILL come out this summer.
Back to reality now, you will notice that this new comic is actually hand drawn. This is a standard I will attempt to continue hopefully forever.
I need to do a comic on health class; in fact I'm going to next time. This morning we looked at pictures of drunk driver fatalities. Imagine yourself sitting in a classroom at 8:00 in the morning, and your staring at a picture of a motorcycle driver sliced in half. LITTERALY.
Last week we watched a video on abusing Meth. It contained interviews of users talking about ripping ones boils off of there feet...arms...legs...face...--insert body part-- you get the picture. The video itself then used a strobe light effect while it listed all of the problems you will have when you abuse Meth. The strobe light moved at speeds I guess I wasn't ready for. They were trying to be cool, but the end result at least for me was disastrous.
It was 8:00 in the morning, I excused myself from the classroom, I walked into the bathroom, entered a stall, and threw up like there was no tomorrow.
The moral of this story: If you are a big anti-drug company, don't make videos that make people throw up... It's not cool... People don't like throwing up... It's not a good thing... Also a strobe light is a bad thing to use in anything other than a rave. Oh, and for godsake put some effort in the music for these educational videos. Its freaking 2004 and we still have early 90's techno music. If it weren't in an educational video I would think it would be porno music.
May 14th 2004
Anthony: Fiddler on the Goof
Nick never did get around to that comic this week... I'm sure he'll find some way to blame me for it... whatever.
Today's comic is brought to you by my Wacom tablet. You know, the one I got for by birthday. The one Nick hates me for having.
Bvckjweqfnvkjvasdke!!!!!!!!!
May 11th 2004
Nick: Baka
Sorry people but I can't put a comic up tonight. My brother had to use the computer all day today. Ill put it up when I get back from school tomorrow, promise.
May 07th 2004
Anthony: No, really?
Oh thank you wise Nick. I never would've thought to move to a new host. (Slap Slap Slap). All my files are tucked away in a nice new Freewebs account as of that texty right there. So bite me.
This comic took a while to make. I'm proud of how it turned out. My only regret is not giving him a bigger gun...
In other news, I signed us up for a spot on buzzComix, so start voting for Stan and Steve!
May 07th 2004
Nick: Host it somewhere else
Use homestead like I do. It's not the most stable of webhosting places but it works at least. This is the second time AngelFire has screwed on you its going to do it again. AngelFire is the placebo to normal webhosting. Screw it already.
May 07th 2004
Anthony: Stupid FUCKING Angelfire
Angelfire decided it would be funny to mess with me again, not two days after they did it the first time. I can't even estimate how long our archive was messed up. But basically within six hours of me fixing my coding for the site, Angelfire decides they're sick of people using their bandwidth for hosting images. So they put a stop to it. I think I re-fixed everything though. If you notice anything wrong, hit me up at smallpryz2pay@hotmail.com and I'll fix it.
Oh and I'll put a comic up later today.
May 04th 2004
Nick: CEREAL!
I love cereal. This comic is 100% true; I went to Costco the other day and got the biggest fricken box of cereal on the planet. The best part was that it was a Lucky Charms, CoCo Puffs, Fruity Pebbles combo box that was the size of the cart. Why this insane amount of pure sugar? Because I've never had Lucky Charms. In my family the rule was if you couldn?t see the sugar content on the cereal you basically didn?t get it. It was breakfast torture. Now that I'm seventeen I have finally gotten my revenge. Bow down to my cereal!
This comic was originally going to be hand drawn. Due to complications with the geniuses who run the scanners at school (*insert sarcasm*) I could do that. Sucks doesn't it.
Anthony told me were doing a guest comic for FanBoys. I don?t believe it. This is because Anthony lies and is evil. "Nick-Hoffman-'To-The'-Brown" (His new rap name I have made up while typing this.) from FanBoys is someone that at least I know. So the possibility might be there.
Angelfire has had a history with many people of randomly shutting off their services for reasons they don?t even know.
AGH! Remember that thing I said on the 27th of April. That "insane issue" that was ticking me off. Well its getting worse. I know its pretty bizarre typing about a problem I have no interest in actually saying or typing here. It's nothing massive, it's like a thought or an idea that you want to agree with yourself but you don't want to agree with. The end result is that the issue becomes larger than life and annoys you 24/7 practically.
We were thinking of adding Larry Wackowski to the wall of shame. I really like the Matrix but the creators of it are just freaking bizarre.
All right, I'm done. I've decided to ram my head into the wall.
Oh, our FAQ will be added SOON! Really, it will this time. We got pictures and everything and it's going to look all shiny and nice.
May 04th 2004
Anthony: Stupid Angelfire
I don't know if anyone noticed, but most of the comics I've done for this site were down part of today. Angelfire decided to cancel my old account for some random unknown reason. I quickly created another and re-uploaded the missing files. Some things are still missing, such as some, if not all, of the links, the oldest comics, and a few of the newer ones that I have on my dad's computer. They'll be back online soon.
Holy crap, it's one in the morning. Sometimes I forget that sleep is more important than comics. Wait, what am I saying?! No, don't leave! I promise I'll treat you better next time!
May 01st 2004
Anthony: Wall of Shame!
It's here, folks, The Wall of Shame! Check it out!
April 30th 2004
Anthony: Quick quickly quickly
Holy crap holy crap, If Ms Wyatt catches me over here I'm fuxored. Must go quickly...
April 27th 2004
Nick: Amazing update
I am so tired. Great weather but im coughing and blowing my nose all over the goddamn place. I think im going even more "insane" over another issue entirly wich I dont want to think about. But for some reason I can't stop thinking about. Don't know what I mean? I don't understand it either.
Yeah...so here's the new comic. Starting next week im scanning my comics in. (Like actually drawing them *gasp*)
That is, if I don't frickn loose it.
I can't think of anything else to add here.
April 26th 2004
Nick: You have got to be shitting me...
http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/04/26/news_6094574.html
Rich people freak me out.
Is this a joke? Am I losing my mind? What the fuck? Look at the numbers for the lawsuit. $177,966.32?! The stupidity has given me a headache. This is a sign of the apocolypse. WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE.
On the posotive side, we may never see another olsen twin game ever again. (Please god.)
I announce that the olsen twins be the first celeberties on stan and steve comics to be put up in our "wall of shame annoying person(s) that should be beaten."
Yes. We now have a "wall of shame person(s) that should be beaten."
Why? Because I want one.
April 23rd 2004
Anthony: More Cassie for all!
I've gotten complaints about Cassie's debut 2 weeks ago, so I suppose I'll make this her real debut. Hooray for the new character.
Let's see... what else... oh, right. Nick's been mad at me since the last 5 posts were his. So here, I'm typing. Bla bla bla.
Oh, also, Nick and I are being indicted by the Indonesian government on tax-evasion and espionage charges. So if our strip suddenly gives out Asian propaganda, that's why.
April 19th 2004
Nick: Yay...ugh
This is my 5th update in a row. Anthony needs to text update now goddamnit. New comic is up that goes with our celebration of starting a year ago. Send us presents. Good ones, I don't want imaginary money or an invisable new T.V. set. We need things. Go give us some stuff or summthin. I think this consistant updating has fried my brain, I cant seem to stop twitching while I type this.
OHEDOBdhaoehjruPHWEIUFINsaskjdfnauHW:AHD
The twitching seems to have stoped. Please pay no attention to anything I have said in this update except the idea of giving us presents.
If you will excuse me, it seems I forgot to take my medication.
April 16th 2004
Nick: Mexico
In response to Anthony's edit:
I hope Anthony dies in some bizzare gun fight between a spanish panda and cross dressing blue lizzard. Or Mexico just decides to explode into flames. Or the evil reef spits acid at him, then eats the bastard whole. The acid would be made of Jello of course.
Everyone loves Jello. Except Anthony. He's like hellspawn. Not the cool type of hellspawn, the annoying werid one with a plastic pitchfork and has a fake mustache.
I forgot what the fuck I was talking about.
Time to end this with a random annoying outburst, written like a five year old learned how to talk in a chatroom.
ANTHONY IS DUMB!!!!11111
April 16th 2004
Nick: Ugh
Here is Anthony's comic. The FAQ is done, will be posted when he gets back. I am really bored.
Is anyone even in this state during this break? BLAH!
April 13th 2004
Nick: Springing
Well, well. Spring break is nice, no? Anyway, a funny thing happened on Sunday...that being Easter. I hope everyone had a good Easter holiday. If you didn't, better luck next year.
Anthony is off on spring break; I don't know what the hell he's doing. His comic for next week is already done, so ill update it for him. Before he left he said he got one of those neat tablet thingy's that you draw on and it draws on the computer. Yeah, so I'm freaking jealous of him now. Bastard.
My Easter was...a tad odd; it started with me waking up and everyone going berserk in my house because the stovetop...sort of exploded. That's something cool to wake up too.
I got the Matrix: Revolutions DVD, it's a billion times better than the last film's DVD incarnation especially the special features which except for a documentary about the creation of the freeway chase was practically non-existent last time.
That's about it. Our amazing FAQ will be posted on Friday or something.
(Steve edit: I'm in Mexico. It smells funny here. In retrospect, I could have put up my comic on Friday, but maybe not. I might still be snorking in the reef.)
April 09th 2004
Nick: Celebration
I would just like to point out; since this sites launch last January we have had over 1000 visitors.
Actually, I think the number is higher because it went down a couple days during this sites early launch.
It would be here we would like to congratulate James for being the 1000th visitor. (At least according to his guestbook post.) James has officially won the right to legally breathe air. Congrats James.
We need questions for the FAQ, please submit them to the guestbook or email me: vidiotY2k@hotmail.com.
I would also like to point out that the enjoyable WASL testing begins I guess after spring break. (I have absolutely no clue on any of the information about it. Something about going to places and seeing stuff, Anthony send me some info or something.) What's the big deal of the WASL and our comic's site? Well if it weren't for that wasteful test (I think I speak for everyone at our school that the WASL is one of the biggest waste of time and by far one of the poorest tests made by man.) our comics would have never started. You see, the WASL was SO bad I made the first Stan and Steve comic in parody of it on notebook paper. Anthony then followed suit and copied me with his bizarre cartoon image of himself in his own notebook made comic.
The higher powers to be in our state think this test is some massive standard. And the fact that people seem to fail it a lot has to do with our lack of education. I propose another idea: The WASL is the most illegible pile of dog dung ever brought into our schools. You know something is bad when people in their spare time cant stop themselves making comics about it.
I complain a lot. Get used to it.
Oh by the way, happy spring break people.
April 09th 2004
Anthony: Robotics for dummies
Updating at school. I have nothing better to do. This comic came to me in a stroke of genius the other day. Actually, I thought it up while on the john. Soo.... same thing.
I gave blood yesterday. Now I'm all... weak. Like a mouse. Or a squirrel.
I made a special comic for Evan and Ed. They asked for some things, and we delivered.
April 06th 2004
Nick: Self-explanatory
This comic is pretty self-explanatory. First and foremost: HellBoy Rules. It just does. It was the best movie at the box office this week, and while I will be seeing it this Saturday I'm already pumped that I'm going to enjoy it. Even though, movie reviewers are an odd breed of people. Sometimes I just think they enjoy listening to themselves talk. At least that's what I thought after reading the reviews to the two Matrix sequels. I really hate it when people have to bash really popular things that are cool in order for them to assert attention to themselves. Movie reviewers go by that calling.
Granted, there are reviewers out there that I can trust. Ebert from Ebert and Ropper (I think Ropper is a loon) knows his stuff for a real old guy. At least I agree with him more than any other movie reviewer.
Besides, HellBoy just fucking rules like I already explained above. I am really happy that a really unknown indie-comic has rose from obscurity into a huge multi-million dollar movie. And the fact that it seems that it was done RIGHT is more amazing.
I guess you can interpret the comic different ways. You may have not known that HellBoy was a comic book. And you may think that Stan is acting like geeky jerk. I remember when walking out of the first Lord Of The Rings movie someone behind me was complaining that it had an open ending. The person didn't even know it was based on a book.
I'm sorry but that simply crosses the line.
It's the geeks that make fun of you for not knowing an obscure video game, a cartoon show that's only shown in Saudi Arabia that deserve to have the title of "Geeky Jerk". Certain things like humongous big budget movies that specifically say at the end of the trailer: "Based on the Comic Book" that people should at least have some idea.
If you're interested in HellBoy comics (Trust me your interested) click here:
http://www.hellboy.com/z-old-design/hbcomicsonline.html
I saw a stand of HellBoy comics at Borders, you'll probably see more as the movie makes more cash. Oh, and if your REALLY low you can download some comics for free at www.suprnova.org. You'll be lower than a "Geeky Jerk" if you do though.
April 05th 2004
Anthony: Quick posting
Since we've been talking ever so much about Splinter Cell: LEGO MAN
April 02nd 2004
Anthony: QUADRUPLE UPDATE!
Wow I put up four new characters today. I'm sick of this damn contest. I want to make real comics again. This weeks characters are:
Gothkid: by Drew McCornack
Botox Barbie: by me, Steve
Sum Ting Wong: by Dong Vo
Cassie Nova: by Brynn Clemons
So that's it. No more. I'm sick of it. Tell me which one you like the best, and the one with the most votes wins. To refresh your memory, the last 2 contestants were the King of Cheese, and Tangentman. So..... VOTE!
March 30th 2004
Nick: A true story
I will not go into the specifics over this brand new comic. The other day I was disciplined for leaving a lunch plate on a cafeteria table. It resulted with a teacher screaming at me because of my error. I really try hard not to crack up when thinking about the scene. Try to picture a nice long table practically devoid of any garbage, plates, utensils, and rodents. Now imagine a single Styrofoam plate sitting at the end, and someone is screaming at me and regarding it like its so form of biohazard. I honestly made a mistake, I admit that. I had never made that mistake before, and now I'm being screamed at. I don't mind being screamed at... Or yelled at... Or screamed or yelled at... I find it all amusing really. So for a situation like this you can imagine my reaction. I am sorry for leaving that single lunch plate, it was a stupid mistake. But now the teacher seems to have a personal vendetta against me.
...Someone is screaming that there is a fire while I type this...seems to be okay, ill continue...
Where was I? Oh yeah, scary lunch plate lady. I would go into more detail over my punishment (attempt at punishing me really) for the "incident". I would also like to talk about how we attempted to get her back, because of the absurdity over the situation. But its 10:07 pm at writing this masterpiece, and someone is yelling that there is a fire behind me. Whatever.
The FAQ will be posted sometime this week in the random section. Rejoice. If you have a question to ask for the FAQ please put it in the guest book. WE WILL LITTERALLY TAKE ANYTHING.
I think I have plan for our reviews section. I'm getting the "kinks" out of it now.
And well... That's all folks! For now... Now go away...
Nick: Quick Update
Quick update from a random computer at school. Anthony a while ago brought to my attention a problem with viewing comics in the archive. I thought everyone knew about the image resizing but I guess I was wrong. There is a notice on that page now which tells you how to solve that problem plus a bizarre ?HomeStead? redirection.
The next comic will be updated today when I get home. Also, a long delayed FAQ will be hopefully posted on the ?Random? page.
March 26th 2004
Anthony: Contestant #2
Contestant number two is Tangentman. I came up with him in math class. I have received no entries for this contest. And for that I am saddened.
March 24rd 2004
Anthony: PROTECT'D
Muahahaha... I just added a copyright to our work. Bitches. Use our stuff without permission and we'll kill you all in court. Well... use it... to get money... um... shut up, I'll read up on copyright law when it gets infringed. Just don't steal from us. We wouldn't steal from you. Well, Nick might. In fact, I think he's stealing the grass from your lawn right now, blade by blade.
Anyways, you all have a homework assignment: tell two friends about our site. That's all. Just two. Please?
March 23rd 2004
Nick: Excited
There are some certain games coming down the pipe wich I am getting ready for. There has not been this amount of great games coming since 1998. Splinter Cell: Pandora Yesterday...Uh, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow seems to be everything great about the last game times a thousand. Except of course for the name. Its like the developers got bored. I can visualize the conversation.
"Hey Bob, what should we call this game?"
"Hey I got a dictionary! Let me find two totally random words!"
Of course, more thought was put into that. But c'mon, Pandora Tomorrow sounds just silly.
I find health class depressing. A couple days ago we watched a video of people that starved themselves, and then the next day it was about over-eating. Christ, I cant wait till we watch a video about depression. Or better, a video about depression caused by over-eating, starving yourself, and drug abuse. Oh, and that person is also dieing from a bizzare disease never before seen. And the person that is going through all this is eight year old Billy. And he's all like: "Mommy! Why do I suffer?!" And then they would play sad music and lots of close ups of him crying. Crying blood perhapse because his brain is exploding? That sounds like it can top it off... Now if only I can understand how someone can starve themselves and over-eat at the same time...hmmm...
Hope you like the new comic. Actually, I dont give a damn what you think cause I like it. I would say "sorry" to you now, but I dont do that. Oh, and send pictures of a new comic charicter to Anthony! You will win... Uhm... A compliment... From Anthony of course.
March 19th 2004
Nick: Huh?
This is news to me. I think Steve is on something. Sure, make a new charicter. If it sucks we will post it and make fun of it.
Well, on wenesday me and my family were driving trying to find a place to eat. We drove by the new Canyons restaurant next to QFC in downtown redmond. (Where that scary "ruperts" bar or something used to be.) To make a long story short, I think I got food poisoning because I was began hurling that night. Im better now, but im really ticked because it seemed like a really good place. Oh hum.
For fans that love splinter cell and have a good computer, a demo for the next splinter cell game has been released. Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow (Not to be confused with the more ackwardly named: Splinter Cell: Monkey Yesterday Fur Burgler) Also happens to have a new multiplayer component.
ALSO, a dvd trailer for Final Fantasy XII (Thats "12" for those who are roman numeral retarded) has been released. Yes folks... This series is going into its 12th sequal... Keep em coming.
Oh and remember to send those charicter things... Send them to steve, if you send it to me ill doing something bad. Oh and if you think our "reviews" section is dead. ITS NOT! Im going to try to find a way to ressurect it somehow this following month.
Uh thats all....Go away
March 18th 2004
Anthony: MSPaint-y goodness
Before you ask, yes, I did do this in MSPaint. So sue me. Actually, sue Nick.
So we here at Stan and Steve Comics are thinking about adding a new character. So my next few updates are going to be possible new characters. Then you guys can email me at smallpryz2pay@hotmail.com and tell me which ones you like. K? K.
So this is the first possibility: poorly drawn King of Cheese. Next week: a new face.
March 16th 2004
Nick: POLITICAL!
This is the comic that should have been put up last friday. I've already apologized, and considering that I dont apologize that much... If at all in real life... I think ive said enough.
Wah? Steve text updated..
Heh, I did a rough draft that got 10/10 Steve-o. And I litterally did it in five minutes --Insert Gloat comment here--
The newest comic is about Bush's brand new political campain... Thing... I think this satire sums up what I think about it.

Anthony: In place of that which is desired
We're trying to get back to our original schedule here. Honestly. We swear. Nick's will be up tonight and mine on friday. And every tuesday and friday after that. We apologize to you, our 12 or so fans.
I'm actually in school right now. You might be saying but Steve, you guys update at school all the time. Well, you're right. We do.
Technically I should be writing my essay on The Great Gatsby, but I really don't feel like it. That book is depressing. I got my rough draft back and Miller said my points were backed up with poor and unsubstantiated claims. What she didn't take into account is that I wrote that friggin rough draft in 20 minutes. So whatever.
That's all for now, Nick'll have his up tonight. I hope.
March 11th 2004
Anthony: Guh...
Nick missed a day. He apologizes. For now, here's my newest.
March 11th 2004
Nick: woops
(Updating in school)
Okay peoples. Due to circimstances that I cant control my comic will be updated on monday... Next monday. Reason being is mainly due to "mid-quarter" rush. Most of my teachers have conspired to give me loads of homework which will be overflowing into next week as well. Usually mid-quarters are not that bad. They give us our progress reports, we bitch, then they change it. This time it seems like they actually want to purposely drive us insane. I have several paged packets for science, a english outline (easy.) , and math homework and test. Yippie yi kay oh.
While we strive to meet "deadlines" there will be times of course that we will fail. Were doing this for fun, and the moment we take "deadlines" seriously is when in my opinion the fun stops.
In other news im planning a FAQ FOR THE RANDOM SECTION! ...yippie...
If you have ideas for questions to be asked, ask it in the guestbook. Or email me: vidiotY2k@hotmail.com. If it doesnt suck, ill put it up. If it does, Ill still put it up but ill make fun of it... And make fun of you... And your family... And friends...
See, its all about me being supperior to you! Neat concept no?
Oh and Steve, we should take pictures of ourselves for the FAQ... AND WE NEED TO COPYRIGHT THIS SH**!!!11111!!!!

Nick: Beyond Good
After searching for "Beyond Good And Evil" for weeks I finally found a goddamn copy for Xbox and Ive been playing it like nuts. I also saw "Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles" for GameCube but im hesitant to pick it up.
Funny thing about the whole Final Fantasy thing these days. I got "Final Fantasy X-2" for christmas. While the game is "okay" its not at all up to par with the original Final Fantasy X. Then I saw the trailer to the movie sequal to Final Fantasy 7, and that made me replay FF7. After that I decided to replay FF9... And after that I think I want to replay FF8... Reason? I have no fucking clue, I think im going insane.
Im replaying the games via an emulator on my computer this time thou, and ive tweaked it to actually look better than on T.V. O.o.O
In closing, read this if sick things make you laugh: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4300854/

Anthony: Employment is for losers who don't have webcomics.
I may or may not have subconsiously stolen this comic from somewhere. The idea just popped into my head. But I'm about 90% sure I came up with it on my own. Anyways, I got tired of always waiting for Nick to update the site, so I took matters into mine own two hands. I hope I don't fuck up the site too badly.
In other news, I have a bump on my head because Brett is a dick and threw a water bottle at me. Oh, and also, our school is stupid.
March 02nd 2004
Anthony: Who says we don't listen to our fans?!
See? The latest comic is on the front page! Woohoo! Also, as per Drew's request, there is now a link to the guestbook on the front page as well. Aaaaaaand, to satisfy Brynn, all the shitty comics I did back when the website was my little love-child are in the archive. Well, actually, I didn't put up the reeeeeally shitty ones. Like the two I did in MSPaint. But the not-so-shitty ones are there. Enjoy. Oh, p.s. new comic on Thursday or Friday.
March 01st 2004
Nick: W00T!
The comic is on the front page! *squeal!*
After last weeks freak accident, this site is back in terms of being updated... On time...
Or at least we hope so.
Now, usually I ramble on in this part for no apparient reason. But tonight I will be quick. Today I learned that a science teacher that I had in J.R. High has been deemed insane and was almost fired. We will not mention her name because our site is considerate... To a point and then we slander the shit out of people. I know the next following sentences will make many people who have had her smile at least: In fright of being afraid to be fired, she contacted HER TRIBE and attempted to bring her chief to the school in order to purify it..... And thats all Im saying for tonight.
Feb 29th 2004
Anthony: Double Apologies
I let you all down. I made a schedule and didn't stick with it. My dad found my report card on Thursday, which is when i was planning to finish my comic. He was less than pleased. So I put it on a CD and tried to bring it to his house. I finally got him to get me Flash, so I thought I would be able to get it up by Friday. Unfortunately I had forgotten to close the CD, so none of the files got written. God, I'm stupid when I'm having a nervous breakdown... Anyways, I swear that I will have the comic up this Friday. And no more missing schedule! I promise!
Oh, also I'm thinking about putting the old comics from my old Angelfire site in the archive. Any votes yes or no? Put them in the guestbook. I want that damn thing filled up.
Feb 25th 2004
Nick: Apologies
I honestly dont know what to say or how to start this. Well actually, I do. I just hate doing stuff like this. A comic was supposed to be released on Monday, complete with equally funny text update from me. But it seems like God conspired against me the last three days. The comic is finished, actually it was finished yesterday. What happened was simple, I was experimenting with Photoshop... That didnt go well... Then, by freak accident yesterday I broke our printer. That didnt help my situation either. That and me trying to finish a random five page packet for science. Also on Sunday, the day I usually work on the comic, I went to go see the ThunderBirds play... And went on the underground tour of Seattle... What im trying to get at here, is that my time was cut a bit.
My comic will be released on next Monday, it would be retarded for me to release it now... Because Anthony's would take its spot tomorrow... The big thing about this comic is that its eight pannels long. I had to make the pannels for it, which adds to the list of crap I put above.
I saw a scene from that Gibson film "The Passion". Heres my two cents: People dont have that much blood. If christ actually bleed that much, and was tortured that much...The poor guy would have died six times over before even reaching the cross. Jeez-es.
Feb 24st 2004
Anthony: Guest Comic?
I'm in negotioations with the writer for a webcomic called "Fanboys" about me doing a guest comic for them and vice versa. I think it'd be fun. many of you have read fanboys. some of you have not. For those of you who have been missing out, there's a link in the Links section of this beautiful site you're on right now. So check them out.
In more personal news, I'm getting my driver's license on the 5th of March. Expect maybe a comic about it.
Feb 21st 2004
Anthony: Stupid... Friggin... Disney... Monopoly
Well Disney is still on it's evil soul-sucking rampage, as displayed in the latest comic. I hate them so much. You know what else I hate? Computers. Mine freaked out about halfway through my drawing of this strip, and I lost everything I had done. But I managed to do a print screen so it wasn't too difficult to redo... just a lot of tracing. Expect a new comic from Nick on Tuesday, and then one from me the following Friday. That's our new schedule. Nick Tuesdays, me Fridays. Deal with it, punk.
In other news, some woman in New England is counter-suing the RIAA for racketeering and extortion. She is my new hero. Fight the power, New England Lady!
(Nick Edit: While I still hate Disney, its better than them being bought up by Comcast who would do shit to them. A lesser of two evils you could say. Sorry for the slow update, today was insane. Ill talk later.)
Feb 17th 2004
Anthony: 50 first movies were good
Hey all. I've been at a LAN party all weekend. The plus side is that you still get a comic cuz I have my computer with me. The minus side is that its not too good because I did it in the breaks between games.
I actually enjoy Adam Sandler movies. Personally I think they're hillarious. Sure he uses running jokes but the actual plotlines are funny and original. At least I think so. Nick doesn't. So I made a comic about it.
So that's all for now, our 8 fans. More later.
Feb 17th 2004
Nick: ACK! SOMEONE KILL THAT OLD GUY!
I wanted to share this for the fun of it.
I think we have talked about the Nintendo DS many times before. We even did a comic about it. I think its still farking nuts. Anthony is optimistic about the whole issuse. Today the whole issue exploded.
As if being resurected from the dead, the insane and frightning Yamauchi ex president of Nintendo decided to share his thoughts on the system. For those of you people who are not familiar with Yamauchi, I am happy for you. Hiroshi Yamauchi is a senile, insane, old guy who happens to never shut up. I dont know how old he is, but I think its over a billion.
In a recent interview he claims the idea of the Nintendo DS is actually his... And if it doesnt do well, Nintendo will be quote: "crushed". He even goes out of the way to claim that games these days are going in the wrong direction and that we are: "...not interested in grand games with higher quality graphics and sound and epic stories."
If I had a meter that showed how much I was afraid for Nintendo, "10" being really scared for it "0" being I couldnt care less it would be over "10000000" right now for me.
Heres the article: http://cube.ign.com/articles/492/492253p1.html
Feb 14th 2004
Nick: If I knew how to speak 1337 I would say something bad about this holiday...
Alas poor Phil. He told us of his troubles this past week and we have decided to show it in this current comic.
We have decided to update with comics every Tuesday and Friday. But, we will probably make text updates more often. Just to annoy everyone. So technically im late...By a day... But I thought it would be okay, considering im updateing on the stupidest holiday ever concieved by man. I've already ate too much candy, which honestly is the only damn good thing about this holiday.
You may notice, I havent even specifically said what holiday it is. Im afraid if I say it ill conbust into flames.
Because Stan and Steve comics has always considered ourselves a educational site...(*cough*)...I have compiled the history of this retarded holiday in a segment simply intitled: Nick makes fun of Valentines Day....shit...(*explodes in flames*)
According to legend Saint Valentine was thrown into prision and was going to be executed. Before being executed he sent a love letter to his lover. In it, he says at the end: From your Valentine.
Then his head was chopped off. Sucks to be him.
So... We have created a holiday... About a dude... Who was actually thrown into prison because he was getting nasty with a lady... And then before he was taken out he sent a love letter... If I didnt know where this story took place, I would have guessed it a holiday from Texas. What other place could a holiday about someone being executed come from?
We celebrate differnt holidays to honor certain people, issues, or just celebrate. In this holiday we honor a dude who got axed. Makes perfect sense. I say we take random action figures and or dolls and slice off their heads in honor of valentines day. Why do we have to concentrate on all the mushy shit. Some dude got his head cut off, we should take notice of that too.
So remember kids, take that expensive action figure you got for christmas and cut off his or her head! Its valentines day! YAY!
Have I freaked you all out enough yet?
Feb 10th 2004
Nick: R to the I to the A to the A
I dont like ignorant people who happen to have a lot of power. "Selective Ignorance" is something that I hate. So of course, I hate the R.I.A.A. Over the years its come to the point in which, Its really hard to like these guys. They sue 12 year old girls for christsake! Like thats supposed to encourage people to buy music... To support a company that destroys peoples lives in order to make "examples". There complete inability to change with the times is utterly absurd. Technology in the past has always won, what makes the distributation of MP3's any differnt? Legal or illegal. Whats more absurd is there inability to go after the guys that put the songs up for download, yet they go after five year old Billy that downloading it. Their are well known "groups" of people in the piracy world of music. As there are in the movie piracy world and the game piracy world. Shit, they even have SITES THAT ANNOUNCE WHAT THEY HAVE JUST RELEASED. But do they go after the real threat? No, they act like high-and-mighty jack asses.
I like Pepsi.
The idea of like, one in every four bottles of Pepsi has a free song to download is genius. They are going to make alot of mullah. They are putting in alot of money into it, I think its going to work.
Anthony is reading the Hobbit, but his copy is like this kick ass version that has pictures and everything. I saw this one copy of Lord of the Rings that had pictures and a whole bunch of other insane crap too. It was all one book, bigger than a bible.
I finished a book called Eragon that I got for christmas. Fantasy book with Dragon Riders. Nothing cooler that Dragons that rip apart bad guys with there claws. Its not a bad read. In fact its one of the few books I actually enjoyed to some degree.
Hmmm... What else? Oh its Febuary... That means the most crappiest holiday of the year is almost here. I get utterly depressed each year. Oh, well. You have to have one shitty holiday.
You can stop laughing at me now Anthony...
Thats it! Oh by the way if your female... and go to this site... I love you............Unless you like, eat babies and grow tenticales.
We need the fans.
Feb 5rd 2004
Anthony: Blaufarg!
I am so sorry. My lack of artistic ability has let you all down again. In my latest comic, that is *not* a large gash in Steve's face. Nor is it tire tracks. I was attempting to allude to motion. He is supposed to be turning his head very very quickly. Anyways, that's the deal. I just e-mailed my newest comic to Nick, and I must say it's hillarious. If, when you read it, you don't understand, read the post below this one. So there. Don't mind the fact that I did it in about an hour and a half. I used Photoshop a great deal more in this one. Blending Flash and Photoshop makes for nice little comics. So that's all for now. Sign the guestbook and whatnot.
(*Nick Edit*: Comic updated. Signing the GuestBook will give you super happy joy joy luck. If you wanna be a loser, dont sign it.)
Feb 3rd 2004
Nick: ITS ALL TRUE I TELL YOU!
Todays comic is brought to you by Steve...Anthony...Tony...Guy.... The other person.
I want to say that these comics, while they dont portray us, are pretty acurate in terms of how we act sometimes...Wait that doesnt make sense... Uh, the charicters are our "alter-ego's". But there personalities are very close to how we act. For example, looking at the first comic Anthony did, if anyone has ever had the frightining privilidge to speak to me on AIM at night time know that I act utterly insane. The combination of night, and a computer= Me going utterly insane. Also I find myself acting like a sarcastic jerk too. (2nd comic)
Anthony's loyality to Nintendo will never seem to be broken. They could be releasing "Zelda: Link Gone Wild" and he would be defending it. Another problem is that Anthony is an angry person. I think he mauled someone trying to teach him "Peace Builders" in elementry school.
Actually im makeing most of that last part up.
This update can be saved. Say this tung twister I made up really fast!:
Shizzle-Nizzle-Bo-Pizzle-Bannana-Panna-Po-Dizzle-Fe-Fi-Fo-MiNizzle-NIZZLE! ...on your shizzle...
Now, go to school and say it outloud. You will get your ass kicked before you know it.
Feb 2nd 2004
Nick: Less is more...No???
New Comic up. For explination...you must read this...all of this...BOOO HAHAHAHA!!!
I had this awsome excuse for my absence...But then I realized that it sucked and that I should just say the truth...
I had to beat Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.
Im a gamer, to a fault. I am a gamer geek beyond geeks. The amount of vast gaming knowledge I have is so increadbly massive its scary. I sometimes scare myself with it. Whats odd is that I have perfected the usage of my "geekdom". There is a time and place for everything. A time and place to be a geek and not. I feal thou it is impossable to do comics without shreding off some form "geekdom". Thats why we originally decided to have a "reviews" section. We did this without knowing FreeWebs hosting limitations. So thus, they will be going down shortly.
This comic is about the upcoming Game Boy DS. In my personal opinion: Nintendo has fucking lost it. I really want to be wrong here, but each new shred of news I hear about this "thing" is scaring me. The "D.S." stands for "Dual Screen", in other words there are two screens on this handheld. Nintendo gave an example of a soccor game in which one screen has a camera angle near a player...And the other has a camera angle far away, showing the entire field...
Are we that lazy we cant press a stinking button to change a camera angle? How are we supposed to look at the two screens at once? Grow an extra head? Does anyone here remember the Virtua Boy???
Ahh yes, the Virtua Boy. Nintendo's little bomb that stunk more than the Taco Bell comercials during the Super Bowl.
Im afraid of Nintendo. There following a trail that has been already paved before: Sega. Something people are not appariently noticing. Back in the mid- 90's Sega released a variety of add-ons to its Sega Genisis: The Sega 32X, The Sega CD. They litteraly went under thanks to the fact they released too many systems, too quickly. And now Nintendo is poised to have every thing they make have some sort of "connectivity" feature with there GameCube. This feature is something I dont think, mainstream gamers actually use. And Nintendo is riding more on this ignoring the future: Online play YOU MORONS!
The fact that the GameBoy D.S. isnt even a succesor to the GameBoy Advance is even more odd. Will it play GameBoy Advance games too??? From whats been shown it looks slim.
In conclusion (fuck ive typed too much.) I think Nintendo needs to site down and think...for like two seconds before they start jumping again. They are on top of the world now. THEY ARE beating Xbox in sales. But that can crumble at whim. Who knows, maybe the Nintendo D.S. is going to rock...
...And maybe the war in Iraq will end tomorrow with the entire world loving us...
Feb 01 2004
Anthony: Good lord, what happened here?
Wow. Nick and I have really dropped the ball on this website thingy... hmm... I place the blame squarely on Nick, because I've been skiing in Whistler since Friday. So stab him, not me. But we should have 2 or three for you ravenous fans next week or so. I promise. But I'm going to bed for now. Sign the guestbook!
Jan 28th 2004
Anthony: Finals week is killing our comic!
WHAT PART OF SIGN OUR GUESTBOOK OR DIE DO YOU PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND?!
Jan 26th 2004
Nick: Ad-A-Board!
Yeah I know already: it sucks. To be quite simple, free web hosting does suck. BUT, we shall overcome this problem soon. We need to get off of freewebs. We need something other than this crap hole. We will soon have just that. Soon. This is a stepping stone in a giant ocean.
But untill then we now have a message board: http://pub44.bravenet.com/forum/show.php?usernum=3694227385 Beware for the evil ads for they are all over the place.
Jan 26th 2004
Nick: Calm Before the storm
I dont exactly understand finals week. Well, I do understand it and yet I dont. My personal ideas get in the way in terms of what I think would be a better way to test what we have learned the last semester. In other words I think giving someone over 70 terms and told to describe them then answer 9 questions (detailed) THEN answer several chapter reviews is what I think...stupid. And thats just the "pre-final" W00t!
Steve/Anthony/Tony destroyed the japanese text support bug in our code with a vegance. Slashing yee away with his mighty web-bug-detecting sword of might! Which glowed when orcs or evil japanese text support bugs where near him! With a single slash he smighted the bug, splattering it into a thousand parts. He then decided to leave his knighthood, and became a notorious rapper: The SAT! Who was shot to death beacause...That happens to rappers these days.
The next comics will arrive shortly. The likely hood of us doing alot this week is slim. The Finals are, in my personal opinon: a gigantic bitch. That never really ceases to stop.
Im thinking of adding a webboard: (aka: fourms.) That will replace the guestbook we have. It seems that alot of you have decided to burn in hell for not signing it.
The sad thing is that it seems, things that are supposedly free these days are not. Or suck at being free. But we will try to find a semi-free fourm service. Untill then, bye.
Jan 24nd 2004
Anthony: I have done what was needed.
I fixed the site so that it no longer "requires" Japanese text support. However, I still pity all those whose computers do not already support Japanese text, for they are missing some quality content on the rest of this grand expanse we call the internet.
Now, a lesser man might go so far as to define my partner and good friend Nick as a fool for having no knowlege of how to fix said problem, while I, a blithering idiot when it comes to html, managed to remedy the problem. But I say nay: Nick merely had too much on his plate. He did, after all, build up this website from nothing. The dillema merely needed a pair of eyes that had little experience of the code which had become all to familiar to Stan. It is for this reason that he and I make such a grand team. So, if it please your good sir to refrain from mocking him, I should think I would be much obliged.
Jan 23nd 2004
Anthony: Biggle Biggle Boo!
Ok... Ok... Ok. So. Sign the guestbook people. And when we say sign it, don't sign it ten times (you know who you are) and insult my partner. He did, after all, make this website. As for the knuckles, I thought they were spiffy. So I put them up eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeverywhere.
In other news, Nick has devised an ingenious plan to save our meaningless website. I had, in fact, had the same idea, most likely at the same time, and was on AIM all yesterday waiting for him so I could tell him... but, he beat me to it. So I'm diverting all the credit to him. Kudos, Stan.
Also, a new comic should be uploaded onto our new archive server by Tuesday. So quit shitting yourself in anticiption.
Sign the guestbook, quit picking on Stan, etc. etc. you know. The usual.
Jan 22nd 2004
Nick: WE ARE A-OKAY!
Yes, yes we are. Everyone (Tony/Anthony/Steve...we really need to just stick with one stinking name...) can stop holding thier breathes for we are alive and comics will be a coming. Ive devised a plan with the help of the greatest minds of our world. We even resurected Albert Einstien to aide us in our cause. After most of his limbs fell off during the resurection process we had to kill him again but thats another story....(Appariently bodies decompose after being dead for a while...hmmm...) Comics will be stored aka: hosted via another account. Not with freewebs. (sorry freewebs.) Yes is simple...and so utterly obvious but I had alot of thoughts about it.
In other news stop picking on me goddamnit.
Uhm...oh about Game Reviews... Well I can see why we would want to do that. I enjoy typeing, I enjoy typeing in this blue box makeing sentences. Its uber awsome. I like typeing Game Reviews. I am werid. But thats okay because on a oddness level I think Steve-O beats me...Yet I think theres a mentally challegend kid at our school which im under currently.
There was a point to this update no? Yes I think there was.
So basically I dont want site "limitations" to stop us from doing stuff that we (I) want to do. But in heinsight...I think the reviews possibly will go down, and we will review games we happen to play in our news updates like this one...and...DUDE! WE SHOULD DO THAT!!!!
In other news you CAN GET RICH NOW! ALL YOUR LIFES PROBLEMS WILL GO AWAY! How you might ask? SIGN OUR FRICKEN GUESTBOOK. Its under the "random" section...There are words that say "Guestbook", you have to click on that. If you dont I will shave your eyelids off with a cheese gradder.
In conclusion, I announce that I am awsome. And should be considered a god..Or like a diety, but not like those mouse/human animal dudes thats not cool. Talk about how cool I am in the guestbook and you will get 1000 virgins in the afterlife or something close to that. Its not my fault if you get like, 1000 barn yard animals or something. You probably deserve it.
Jan 22nd 2004
Anthony: Hrmph
I changed some stuff around. As you may have noticed. I got rid of some unnecissary files like those damn numbers. *I* wanted to take down everything and make this strictly a webcomic site (like, I dunno, say, THE ONE I MADE). But Nick had other ideas. So we're gonna let him work some shit around and I'll take over if necissary. Anybody know how much a domain name costs? www.stanandsteve.com has a nice ring to it...
P.S. Sign the guestbook. It will enlarge your penis and/or breast size.
Jan 22nd 2004 Nick: Bugger Spoke too soon? The site is yet again in trouble. (I said this week would be freakin odd.) If all comes to worst we will move off of FreeWebs to another site. If that happens (from what it seems its likely.) do not worry we will tell you where. Its not like the site will be redone from scratch we will simply move it over. In the next couple of days you may be seeing some changes to the site, dont be freaked. Jan 21st 2004 Nick: LETS GO! WOOT! THIS IS AWSOME! Well the archive is up and running. I honestly thought about it for a long time and I feal that this is the easiest way to do it. Its kinda lame, if you want to compare it to what I had in mind. Some day I will update it, make it nice. But for now, who cares. My first comic is up. So uhm... Yippie? We are kicking it off now. There will be more site updates as we continue of course. Throw us a line, give us some help, or just praise us. Are email's are on the Random page wich will be the next thing to be updated. Uh, email Anthony... My inbox is kinda full. So while you try to understand what the heck Bush was on last night during the state of the union. Please check out our comics. Were here to stay. (P.S. CHECK OUR GUESTBOOK IN THE RANDOM SECTION OR ILL UNLEASH ANTHONY ON YOU!) Jan 21st 2004 Anthony In the words of one Muhammed Ali: "I AM THE GREATEST." Please to note that there is a comic up. So go ahead. Read it. You know you want to. And yes, there will be more soon. I guarantee it. Jan 21st 2004 Nick Had some family problems last night. Did not get on the computer at all yesterday. It was really stupid. It was like god set up a line of unexplainable problems which just happened to all fall yesterday. Why cant that type of stuff be "spaced out", is it that hard for him to give me a break? Is it? Maybe have one family crisis on monday then have another on wednesday? Why must it all happen at once? Whatever, the reason why you are here is because of: COMICS! I cant promise anything, the dust is settling at my home. But I will desperatly try to do something about all the crap I talked about eariler for today. See you tomorrow. Jan 20th 2004 Nick So close and yet so far. The first comic(s) are done, and they are excellent. But the site is giving me headaches. Ive realized that a project of this size is going to require something more than DreamWeaver and updateing via the freewebs site. As a learning experiance im suprised to say this has been excellent. I know that sounds really cheesey but it really has been. Im working on the comic archive as of now, and to be quite honest: its being a bitch. We have the content, we just need to get the foundations (aka: the website) in tip-top shape before we begin uploading. Hopefully by tonight the first comic will be shown. Ive gotten some excellent ideas for the "Random" section of the website. A guestbook will be added, also a FAQ. Anthony claims we actually have fans from the old website. Maybe we will add some stuff for you guys as well. Were trying to decide who gets to review Prince of Persia: Sands of Time first. So far I have the idea of a fight to the death. Still working out the details. In closeing, this week is going to play out very interesting. End of the semester so were all pretty crammed for time. I still havent really carried out my plan to kill my science teacher.... (just kidding dont sue me.) And ill fix up all the problems that Anthony said. Oh yeah, before I go. Check out some of the new gaming articles at slashdot.org. Some of the latest have been good reads: HalfLife 2: illedally being sold in russia (holy fark) Jan 20th 2004 Anthony Wow. Our first comic. And on schedule too. Incredible. I don't think Nick's put up a link to it yet, but it's uploaded. It's hillarious, I promise. And well-drawn at that! Ummm... Stan, why'd you change the font? Arial is hella boring. Mead Bold is where it's at... and you removed the line seperating the panels... wtf... fix that. Jan 16th 2004 Nick SNAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKEEEEE!!!! For those of you who dont know metal gear solid...well...I dont like you... For those of you that do you really need to check out the new video for the GameCube remake for the first game. Its 27 minutes of cutscences that were newly directed for the game. For those of you that have never played the first MGS (you suck by the way.) Then dont even consider checking it out: Its full of spoilers and more importantly; your not good enough to see it anyway. For those of you that really want, follow this link to go to gamespot's dlx...download...thingy...(beware, it is big) Or you can go to FilePlanet...And wait...And wait....And wait.... And then maybe in four hours youll finally begin downloading the file... Jan 16th 2004 Anthony Heh heh... I can update at school too. I'm in second period now, and we have nothing to do, which is the general way things go in second period on fridays. So I used the time to put up some links to websites that Nick (god bless his little heart) linked through text before. Come on Nick. Couldn't find pictures? All three of those were on the front page of the sites. You're just lazy. I'm joking, Nick put together this entire site. He does the html, I make it look appealing. And we both do comics. Supposedly. Speaking of which, if Nick gives me his new sketch today, I can start making comics this very weekend and have one up by tuesday. Like we promised. Also, I'd like you guys to know that I'm hard at work playing my four new video games so I can write reviews for you guys. It's ok. You don't have to thank me. Ummm..... monkey semen. P.S. - WOOHOO! 100 HITS! Even though most of them (read: all of them) were Nick and I... But still... Jan 13th 2004 Nick I can update at school! Yay! Todays my birthday so im of course...depressed like hell... But thats irrelavent! The links section was massivly updated last night so were game reviews. (Not really massive...but massive in my mind regardless...) Check it out. Remember...never get old... Jan 12th 2004 Anthony Um... I put up some links... enjoy them. They're fun. Um... other than that, Nick finally gave me a copy of Flash. Dunno if it'll work tho... um... yeah... that's all. Stan, make this not black anymore. (*Nick edit: Magical stan makes text white again with his amazing...white...texty powers!*) Jan 11th 2004 Nick Holy cow. This has been one wild day. The very first of our content has been put up. Is it a comic? Well no, not yet. But Anthony put up an excellent review for Zelda: Wind Waker. Links will be put up tomorrow. I need to take a break, in terms of setting up this site its given me a massive headache. Which is good. Red Vs. Blue started its 2nd season today: www.redvsblue.com check it out, very good stuff?c If you don't know what Red Vs. Blue is I hate you. The following week is going to be an odd one. I just remembered today that in two days I turn 17. Yeah, I totally forgot. This isn't the first time I've forgotten my birthday, but even still it annoyed me to some degree for obvious reasons. I'm looking for a rated R film to go see. This year went by too fucking fast. :P And uhm, that's it. For now until I update again. (Thinking about adding a couple reviews of my own.) See ya.

Well, im happy with it. The site is now offically finished somewhat. All we have to do now is add the content...Like the words and stuff... Anyway, im pretty happy with it overall. What im concerned about right now is how were going to handel such things as the archive for our comics...Also, YOU DO NOT NEED JAPANESE TEXT SUPPORT! JUST IGNORE THE DAMN THING! Seriously, that so far is the only thing thats poseing a problem so far. Im suprised on the positive feedback ive gotten on this site...Except from Ed...Because you know...hes like perfect...Sorry Ed.
Link updates will come around. Hell maybe ill add a fourm. Or a primative chat room. I was looking into blog style news scripts for this site but my lack of knowledge over php stuff stoped me. If you are a master of the php and or MySQL or know how to do that then contact me. And uhm, welcome to a: "non-sorta-finished-not really-version 1-of our site".

Ok. So last night I laid down the basic sketch of Steve, and I must say he looks marvelous. Simply marvelous. So the basic plan is for Nick to give me a copy of Flash and his sketch of how Stan should look, and then I'll scan in the sketches and make them look all pretty in Flash, then send copies of the Flash files to Nick (keeping up? good lets continue). Then we'll both make comics using the Flash basics and put them on the site. Any questions? Good.

While Steve sends a lynch mob on me, im working on this great site of ours. My main goal is for us to be able to update this thing easily...Like really easily. I have a short attention span for certain things. And if im going to be updateing this thing like I want to, then I need to make it easier. Im working with alternatives for updateing (pre-made scripts) so this site could be easy to handel. Easier is better. Im going to be working on this thing over this fabulous weekend.
In other news, I can kick anyones ass in Street Fighter 2. Ha Dou Ken!

Ok... First time updating on this site and I really don't want to screw anything up. As you guys can see, Nick did an excellent job of revamping the website, at least compared to the piece of shit I was trying to pass off as quality for the last few months.
So we should start uploading comics soon, I'm gonna go ahead and set a deadline of my sister's birthday. So if nothing's up by the 6th of Febuary, I hereby authorize a lynch mob... against Nick. Sorry, buddy. Gotta keep my own hide safe. Heh. Just kidding. But yeah, we'll have something up by then. And if you're reading this it means you've visited our site and I love you. I wish to bear your children.

Well...here it is...Beta version of our upcoming site. If you havent guessed this is going to be an online comic site. Or attempt to be. Honestly though, I think this is a semi-"as of now" place to be. The original angelfire site set up by steve-o wasnt exactly...how one would say: "amazing." But Ill give him points for actually bothering to put a site up.
Yeah, I know this isnt the greatest site on earth either. Its a work in progress NOW, so thus el-link-os at the top should not work. (And if they do, congrats your specail.) Game Reviews I think will be the first thing uploaded as a test. The first comic should come around Tuesday of next week or later. Im honestly trying to get everything from imploding now. The idea was to make a site that could be updated easily, yet sadly I was forced to use DreamWeaver. Now im not dissing allmighty Macromedia but the current version of Front Page is better. Macromedia should be beaten over the creation of FireWorks. Think if Flash, DreamWeaver and Photoshop had a bastard child and youll get a small understanding of FireWorks.
I also have to give Anthony access to the site...so he can type too...
Thats all Folks.
