Fuck the Government

     Seriously, fuck 'em.
     Well it's almost Christmas and you know what that means... it's time for THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS. But in the fight for this truly noble cause, we forget there is a war on something far more sinister. Which is why I, Dingo of gungungun.xxx officially declare a war on irony because raaaaaaiiiiiaaaaaaiiiin on your wedding day is not ironic damnit.
     What else happened since I last logged? Oh yeah an election or some shit. Change is coming right? I am less than optimistic. Oh well, whatever happens happens.
     I also got pulled over a few weeks ago. I made a wide turn and the cop thought I was drunk. I have never said the word "sir" to anyone before, but I think I broke a world record that day. He let me off, probably because he didn't want to do the paperwork.
     Well that's it for now, I'll be less cynical next update probably

I am lisenced

     I really need to log more. A lot has happened since last time. I graduated high school, I switched to Ubuntu, POS Paint has been in a weird state of existing and not existing, a level 3 sex offender almost moved in next door to me, and on Monday I passed my road test for my license.
     After a long hiatus like that I like to have something to say. So I'm officially graduated from high school now with a diploma, smratnezz, and everything. Although I was in the PSEO program for the entire last year (woot woot). So I am now free from the oppressive establishment of the school system, now it's time to go into the oppressive establishment of the rest of the world. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
     Back in February I decided to install a dual boot of Ubuntu out of pure curiosity. What I forgot to take into account was that I am completely retarded and I killed NTLDR. Suffice it to say I didn't do my research. So I thought I would try Ubuntu exclusively for a while and get rid of it when I wanted Windows back. I am still using Ubuntu, and I love it. I got the cube and all sorts of crazy-ass compiz effects. The new version came out today, but I think I'm going to wait to upgrade.
     As you may or may not know, my sprite comic POS Paint is not on my site anymore. I keep reading John Solomon and the "experts" on various webcomic forums who pretty much hate anything and everything. POS Paint is just something I do out of pure boredom and nothing more. It was never trying to be more than something to entertain myself and possibly my close friends. Which is why it may be coming back soon, but if it's very existence offends the reasonable, well adjusted citizens of the internet I will take it off again and leave it at that. Woo! being a slave to my anxiety of random stranger's opinions sure is fun!
     Now about that rapist that would have moved in to the house next to mine... Man, the neighborhood went apeshit that week. There was a town meeting where community members yelled at the police while they did their classic fear mongering tactics. In a week or two when paranoia and fear took the neighborhood it was announced that he wasn't moving in after all. So that was a lot of fuss over nothing.
     And finally, I got my driver's license on Monday. It's about fucking time I took the road test. So yeah, wooooo and all that.
      There will be more updates in the near future. I'm tired of writing this.

I'm Eighteen...

     ...and I don't know what I want. So I had my eighteenth birthday last week. It's nice to be able to stay out late at night and vote and everything, but I don't like how I have to sign up to be potentially forced into another country to kill people I don't know for unexplained reasons for little to no benefits to myself or anyone else... but what the hell I can GAMBLE now!
     So I forgot to blog on X-mas, so I think I'll do that now as well. I got a nice-slick-black laptop (Inspiron 1521) which is awesome. Finding XP drivers for that thing was a bitch though. I also got a GP2X. It's basically a hand held (think DS/PSP), but only Linux based and made for homebrew. Which means every game for it is completely free. So I put some emulators on it, Cave Story, Duke Nukem, DooM, and some other cool apps. It's nice to have something to do between classes at the college.
     Smash Bros Brawl has been hyped to death over the last week (even though it's not coming out until MARCH 4TH! >:<). I haven't been this excited for the release of a game since Duke Nukem Forever... heh.
     Also, my website is no longer www.digitalswordsmen.com/dingo, I am now www.gungungun.net, thanks to Kenji for the domain. gungungun.net still affiliates itself with digitalswordsmen.com although it doesn't have to. That being said.
     The teaser site for Fubar has move here. I bet you're wondering where the new release of Fubar is huh? Well it's not ready yet. I fixed all the glitches before, but that caused a lot of lag that I'm working on fixing. I want this to be done right when it's done.
      That's all for now, this piece is what all true warriors strive for!

Bloggin' Again

     So if you've been reading checking my blog everyday (as I know you do) you would see that I haven't updated in forever. Why is that exactly? Well It's college time again! Has been for the past couple months. Having a good time there, better than High School anyways.
     If you have periodically checked my previous entry (again, I'm sure you do), I had a checklist of things I was working on for FUBAR. I have completed every one of the objectives in that checklist. Now I'm just playing through it, working out the kinks. Trying to make it less of an ass backwards broken piece of shit (not really, it's coming along pretty well... relatively anyways). I have an updated "teaser" site for the game which can be found here.
     I haven't updated the comic in a long while. I think I may do that again sometime, although I don't really have any good ideas. I guess I just don't like it as much as I used to. It's just a crappy sprite comic. But if I have any ideas for it, I'll be sure to put it up.
     In September I got my Ecksbawks triple-sixty from that pawn shop. I was very surprised that it wasn't broken, or at least RRoD'd. So I brought it home and formatted it and started customizing it (rims and spinners and the like). Much to my dismay I realized that I had no games for it. Perhaps Chad Wardenn was right... Xbox ain't got gaaaaaaaaames. Around two weeks later mother dear surprised the family with Halo 3. So I put it in and apparently I had to do a system update in order to play it, quite a pain in the ass. So a lot of my time has been spent with friends system-linking and having four-way gravity hammer duels.

X Organize my Yu-Gi-Oh! cards (I feel no shame)
X Catch up with the comic (Booyah!)
O Finish Mission FUBAR (working on it)
O Get my drivers liscence (Been practicing a lot recently, but I'll have to bike to school for the first couple weeks)
