Black Friday Special: A Lost Saturday Post

So earlier this year, maybe Marcheque? I broke my computer. I broke the FUCK out of my computer.

I drew this comic about it to explain my absence, and then never published the comic. I don't know either. But given that I broke the fuck out of my tablet recently, maybe you all would enjoy this as your Black Friday bonus.

This story starts, no shitting, with me drawing MSPixel. I listen to podcasts when I draw sometimes, and I love listening to the Retsuprae podcast. In this particular podcast, Slowbeef was talking about Undertale, which I hadn't heard of until this point.

GURL I am HERE for 90s RPG garbage! No one has ever loaded Steam faster.

Undertale or not, I still have to be able to sync my phone to my computer. I couldn't get it done, and Google was no help, so I had to call in back up.

Here's the thing --

Do not ever ask a computer scientist to do anything. They are not qualified. It doesn't matter what the issue is, they are not qualified to even touch the keyboard.

He once told me he couldn't set up our new printer because "that's a hardware thing and he's a software guy."

If pressed, Husbando~ usually offers one solution.

Did you know that there is one operating system, and that system is Linux? He uses Windows at work, I have no idea what his damage is.

I've never been able to get my tablet working on Linux, and also Linux doesn't have MSPaint, so this is a problem. Pissing around the Internet a bit, I discovered that iTunes didn't like my graphics card driver. Weird, it liked it before, but okay. So I updated it.

I hella downloaded the wrong thing. Upon restart, I got this:

This is Windows' fail safe, the system restore. Or system repair. Or something. It's been months. This pops up when Windows can't figure out how to start, and needs to fix some shit. It's supposed to run for a few hours. Mine ran for NINE DAYS.

NINE. DAYS.

This is what I think was happening.

We took a closer look at the computer on the ninth evening.

This isn't untrue, the world's biggest spider came along to help. Husbando~ named him Toby the Good Luck Spider.

This isn't untrue, Husbando~ does have a neck beard and a penguin plush.

And thus, my computer ran again. Thanks, Toby the Good Luck Spider!

Can you imagine Husbando~ the next day at work, though?

SATURDAY POST: Let's Be Friends!

TWO orders of business to tend to! I have two orders of business for you all!

One: I tweeted something the other day about doing MSPixel postcards and magnets, and many of you liked the idea of MSPixel merchandise. I'm pretty floored that you'd actually buy stuff with triangle people on it, but hell, okay!

If that happened, what would you want? Post cards, stickers, magnets, notebooks, big foam reaper hat? I make no promises on the big foam reaper hat. My dream MSPixel merchandise has always been those little acrylic key chains, and I think I know how to get those done, but I'm open to suggestions.

A better question: who would you want on the merchandise? If I had to guess, Shepard and Garrus would be the two most popular characters, but seriously, you tell me who I should do. I'd also be open to doing some of the non-Mass Effect folks later down the line, if you really wanted Crono or the Nintendo princesses or something.

Two: we should be friends on places. Let's be friends on places! Here's all the neat ways to follow MSPixel.

Facebook! I just made a facebook page. You should hella like it and then share all the posts. I'm less annoying than the hundred buzzfeed articles your cousin shares!

Twitter! I like my twitter because if I have a dumbass thought about video games I can just spill on Twitter. It's almost like talking!

Tumblr! This is the tumblr, have this link. I've started posting individual MSPixel comics for your reblogging pleasure, just incase your blog needs any of dat aesthetic.

Saturday Post: Some Pickles With That Hot Dog

We should share more! Because unbelievably, I play more than Mass Effect.

Such as

He is so obsessed.

(What? Turn about is fair play!)

SATURDAY POST: Hot Dog!

We should share more! Because unbelievably, I play more than Mass Effect.

Such as.

I love how this isn't even funny to people who've played it. This is all, like, stone cold facts.

Saturday Post: YOU GUYS! Amiibo Card Coolness

Okay, so Amiibo cards, right? I'm not that interested in Happy Home Designer, but I will show up any day of the week for bunnies. I'm'a need all them bunnies, tia.

Husbando~ kindly brought me some cards last night. I thought I might put them in my old Nintendo Power card album -- 

That's a thing, get jealous, but I don't think I've got enough space. So I was googling around for solutions last night when I found this: Nintendo will let you design your own card holder!

You guys. So rad. Here's mine:

See, and you open the top, and all your cards are inside!

Got Isabelle in my first pack, get jealous. No bunnies though!

SATURDAY POST: N7 Elite at DragonCon!

I was fortunate this year to see both the N7 Elite photoshoot AND the Big Bioware photoshoot. I thought I'd miss the latter! Anyway, I took as many individual photos as I could. Enjoy them!

Actually, let's start back at the parade. I always march Star Trek, but I snuck over to the N7 Elite area:

That is, if you were wondering, Marauder Shields.

Now, the photo shoot:

double garrus all the way across the sky

Sailor Kasumi.

A Cerberus cheerleader. I like that Mass Effect is old enough that we can start to see these jokes.

This was my view during the big Bioware shoot. Hats.

No, really, that's General Victus. He says there's one other dude in Canada with a General Victus costume.

This is the best shot I could get of Kalross. Hell yes there was a Kalross.

See you next year, N7s! Especially since I already had to book my hotel room because DragonCon is too fucking big!
