BYOND Life

Alright, added a forum to BYOND Life.

It can be found here: http://byondlife.com/forum

I'll find a pretty layout later.

And if you're one of those less than clever types who don't realize that BYOND Life is updated whether I post it on here or not, here are the last few comics:

Here it is.

Still working on some kinks in the art style I want to try out. So using classic BYONDLife, also known as "Make a bunch of shapes using photoshop tools and glue them together."

After you've read the comic, feel free to criticize me by telling me that you actually are the guy in panel #1. I'm gonna look up your favourite games and stay far away from them.

That's right boys and girls... Ok, let's be honest... Boys and girl. I am finally done being all emo and doing comics again.



As for the last panel of the newest comic, it is a bit of a taste of a style I plan to try on the comic. It isn't quite pixel art, as the pixels are 8 pixels big. It isn't quite a sprite comic because I am drawing it as I go, not fiddling around with sprites stolen from popular games to make a "lol! what if chrono stole magus's's cape lol!" comic. (Seriously, the only good sprite comic is 8-Bit Theatre.) The best name I can come up with is Pixel-Shading. But maybe someone already does this style of comic. Who cares, I'm doing it now, so it's cool.

Feel free to complain how much my comic, art, or name sucks on my BYOND Blog until I get some new forums in. The old ones got flooded by bots.

One more thing, don't be surprised if my comic starts stray away from BYOND at times. Thanks to my experiments of actually having a life, I have found that there is humour outside of the ethernet cable. Comics start regularly at 12:01 AM Friday starting next week. Enjoy.

Going through all of my old posts here, I've discovered something...

I'm a dick.

Now, this is nothing new. I've known I've been a dick for a while. However, this is to a whole new level of understanding.

But I make no apologies, because I'm always right anyway.

As for other things, BYONDLife will be coming back soon. I'm not sure when, but all of the other things getting in the way have ended. So, after I get my computer drawing ability back, I will start doing comics again.

You don't care, you just troll too much.

It seems to me that a good number of people don't understand their favorite songs. They just like the way it sounds and suddenly they are oblivious to what the lyrics actually mean.

For example, I like Mr. Brightside by The Killers. A song about a girl who is sleeping with someone else while the singer laments about his jealousy. I've met at least a half dozen girls who say that the song reminds them of their boyfriends.

Now, this should mean that either the girl was sleeping around or their boyfriend was sleeping around. You'd think that this would drive them to not like the song. But in the end, they just like the way it sounds and rationalise the lyrics in their head. The song is about being jealous, it is as simple as that. But they will toss whatever meaning they want into it and pretend they understand it.

Another example: Choke on This by Senses Fail. A song about a girl who the singer is simply using and has no real care for due to his past heartaches. A good song, but again I find girls saying their boyfriends picked it as their song. Yes, a song that starts "Half-smoked cigarettes and you're the trash that infests my sheets. Can't make a wife out of a whore, don't want your skin on me." That is one hell of a song to base your relationship on. Especially when it gets to the lyric, "Blow your brains out on me." Aw, isn't that a sweet song for your beau?

There are all sorts of songs that have people talking about how great it is while they don't understand it. Yes, some songs are meant to be cryptic, but most people don't choose those songs as their favorites. They select a song that the lyrics are clear, but they still misinterpret them. I mean, if you are going to pick a song to share, pick one that doesn't suggest one of you is a massive whore.

However, you likely misinterpreted this post, because the true meaning behind it is something that only those who know me will figure out. Mwahaha... meh, really I was just bored.
