Register One - I can't believe this title line was messed up for an entire year.

Without a Trace
Posted by Mike on August 3, 2003

You have no idea how much control it took not to put in the line "Without a trace!" after "and disappear!" It's sort of an in joke about the horrible, horrible writing in Brute Force (which I don't believe is all that great a game in any other respects either). Whenever Hawk cloaks (any designers that name a character Hawk are slapping a giant "AVOID ME" label on their head), she says, "Time to disappear... without a trace." Now, I thought that "time to disappear" would've covered that last part. Do we really need to know it's "without a trace?" Can you disappear with a trace? Is he covering up her foot prints as she goes or something? Anyway, the line has sort of become a tag line among our halo group.

This took about 1/4 the time that the last comic did, yet I'm just as satisfied, maybe even more so. Anyway, I'm enjoying these scripts, but all the looking at paintball gear and photos is making me want to try it out. That's "way too expensive" thing keeps getting in the way though.

Update:
Almost forgot the links.

Rant of Drew(uggghhh, alcohol)
Posted by Drew on August 1, 2003

Forgive me for the late rant, I'm hung over like no one's business. Oh well, party last night was fun(could have been more fun). I'm willing to bet that everyone at work knows of my exploits already though(if not, don't ask, I won't tell you anything).
Oh well, I also learned the joys of peppermint patty shots(chocolate+peppermint schnapps=yummy) and lots of tequilla(shot+shot+shot+shot+shot+shot=teh pukex0rz).
Oh, also, in a random moment of funniness, I almost died two days ago when someone at concessions asked me for Skizittles.

Later :)

184. Video: Edith and I are up late ~~studying for midterms~~ watching crazy German music videos from the 90s. I'll miss college.

183. Video: Edith, the darling lass pictured above, will be performing this later this semester. I'm not sure what the protocol is when you find out your girlfriend is a zombie, but I guess I'm glad to have advanced warning that she'll be eating my brains at some point.

182. Video: Women in Western Art. Pretty niftay.

181. Comic: Copper is updating again! Glee!

180. Japanese Insanity Guitar Bear Pink Japan: WHAT?WHAT?WHAT?WHAT?WHAT?WHAT?WHAT?WHAT?WHAT?WHAT?WHAT?WHAT?WHAT?

179. Video: Pac Man invasion. Old, I guess, but still required viewing.

178. Comic: Piled Higher and Deeper: So awesome! Also makes me not want to go to gradschool. Though, it worked out for my dad anyway, so who knows.

177. Artist: JF Bruckner: Oh yeah, jfb is awesome too! Right, right, more artists and comics, I forget so easily...

176. Comic: Copper: Copper is my favorite webcomic. Every strip is inspiringly beautiful and bursting with imagination, but beyond that, they consistently resonate with profundity without screaming "Look at ME, aren't I profound!?" I tried to write a lot more corny praise, but just go read all of them instead, you won't be sorry. I was hoping to wait for Kazu Kibuishi to get back to it so I could scream about its return, but it's been quite a while already, so I'll just link it again once that happens.

175. Artist: Mitsui. Life must be hard when you're this awesome. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

174. Comic: The Unfeasible Adventures of Beaver and Steve. I don't actually read this often, but the toaster knob makes me want to. That sentence will make no sense as soon as they update.

173. Humor: Kyle linked me to this, but I can't imagine why. P.S. Kyle sucks.

172. Comic: Socks. Okay, Socks is also amazing. I need to read through both these soon. Yargh.

171. Comic: Minus. Leo just linked me to minus, and it is aggggghjustgoreaditIcan'tthinkofwhattowriteitisamazing.

170. Flash Game: Fancy Pants. Fancy Pants!!! Made me want to drop everything and make an awesome speedy platformer with simple but incredibly smooth smooth animation with my roommates. Who knows what they'd do, but Kyle already agreed to it. Right Kyle? Study for your midterms to signify "yes."

169. Random: Revenge of Zoom Quilt.

168. Comic: Sinfest. How could you not know about Sinfest already? :|

167. Apps: doPdf. People keep asking how to write out pdfs. If you don't own Acrobat Pro, apparently this works.

166. Humor: Then Japan puts Berkeley to shame in the flash mob arena. But c'mon, it's Japan, it's probably weird when stuff like that doesn't happen.

165. Humor: Berkeley ninja flash mob battle royale round 1 fight.
