Preapring for the revival.
This month marks the one year anniversary of my employment at EB games (Now Gamespot) and the one year anniversary
of the last time I updated the site! A few things have changed since then...
For one, I am now the assistant manager of my store. It's nothing big, but it's stable and it pays the bills. Hopefully,
I will be able to start updating again soon and can continue the comics more regularly than once a year!
Also, my game design ventures have taken me into the realm of what I would have thought impossible a year ago. I
have a seperate site for my games, but soon I'm going to consolidate all my content onto one real site. (A "Dot-com" if you
will) now that I have some cash to get started.
No comics today, but I hope I can continue my work before long.

Equal and opposite reaction.
For the few of you wondering why I didnt update this monday, I was working. Thats right, I got the job at EB. And already
I've clocked six hours of overtime working the midnight openeing for Final Fantasy 12. (A game that astute readers will notice
is IMPOSSIBLE for me to play with my lack of a Playstation 2.) Every single soul I've encountered has noted that my presence
has made the store somewhat less sucky. Its a fun job and I love it. Everything that sucked about my life is slowly started
to get chipped away.
Of course, for every action is a equal and opposite reaction. When my life was shity, I had fanmail to cheer me up. I've
never gotten a negative piece of mail in my life. So its only natural that once I start having a kick-ass life, my fanbase
would get a little spiteful. imagine my surprise when I opened my mail to find a rant that brings up a lot of interesting
points. Most of those points are that I SUCK hardcore, but I'm sure there was some deeper meaning I'm missing. An interesting
point, though, is how he references the fact that I'm 20, despite my having never stated it anywhere on the site. which leads
me to one of two conclusions.
1) He saw my profile on MySpace and followed it to my site, only to be GRAVELY DISAPOINTED.
2) He found the site at Snake Soup or Gametrailers and visited MySpace with the soul intent of diggin up dirt on me,
the self professed king of self satire.
Either way, it was a breath of fresh air to not only be blessed with fan's but to be cursed with trolls. I knew deep
down that I sucked. HOORAY FOR CLOSURE!!!
You can read it here and have you're self a giggle. Thats right, I said you're, so grammer whores can unite in triumphant glory over
the fact that I can't spell. Seeing as he went out of his way to make his voice heard, its only fair that we return the favor and send him our gratitude. His
name is William Tanner and I'm sure he would appreciate the sentiment.
Seeing as this turned into a rant, its only fair that I end it with a moral. I don't turn a profit off this site. I
do it for fun. No amount of me sucking at what I do will change the fact that I enjoy it. Thats all life is. So if you have
time to write hate mail to someone you don't know simply because he isn't funny then you have time to go get a job and shut
the hell up. Don't like it? Don't come here. simple as that. Thank you and fuck off.

BRING OUT YOU'RE TRADES!!!!!!
So, I hear my stepmother come into the house today 8 kinds of pissed off. She slaps down a handfull of job applications
and yells at me, telling me to fill them out. I tell her that I applied at EB was was practiacally guaranteed a job. She informs
me that she nstopped by EB and they said they werent hiring. So, pissed off, I took off in my newly repaired vehicle to yell
at the manager.
Imagine my surprise when I discover that the reason there were no positions available, was because I had already been
hired. whats more, my stepmother didnt bother to mention my name when she came in, negating any validation of her actions
and voiding her findings.
Everyone here is acting like I made the whole affair up. Like I didnt catch her trying to ruin me behind my back. The
lack of trust in this house is palpable to the point where I can get in trouble for being falsely accused of lying....fuck
it, enjoy you're comic....

Working for the week....end.....
I applied at my local EB a few hours ago to rabid response. I'll probably be hired on as a temp, but once they get
a taste of my me-ness, they wont have the willpower to fire me. My car is done, and now its time to get back to living, instead
of simply existing.

And lo' it went forward.
For the last 2 months, my car has been broken. Broken and sitting in my driveway leaving me jobless and trapped in my
house. Well, at long last, it is now capable of going forward. I havent checked to see if it can go backward, but I fail to
see any situation where I would need to.There are still a few tiny little things here and there, but It should be squared
away and back to the way it was by the end of the week. Happy me. So happy, new comics two days in a row. including the first
GamerZ comics since ' 04. Don't get used to it.
Also, we have a new URL for those of you who dont care for the Tripod name.
I wouldn't click. It will just knock you back to the title page...
**EDIT**
I reset the counter cause the numbers were all from back in 2004.
