Site Changes

Again…

Since I’m doing more Java stuff now, the site will be getting changed around some more over the following weeks or so as I try to gear the site more towards application development, stupid Java programs, and getting a “real job” to make enough money to live on. Major changes:

Spookle is getting taken down.
The forums are getting wiped, and integrated with the main site. (I haven’t been able to find a way to import the forums to WordPress, and currently it’s beyond my skill in PHP to do. I will however back them up, so hopefully I can import them at a later date, along with the vintage sediverse 1.5 forums.)
The Comics are going down as well, although they’ll be put on the side bar as downloadable PDFs.
I won’t be using ComicPress anymore.
The Links to the stores will be cut, and the merchandise no longer updated or supported.
(So if you do a google search, you’ll be able to find the old crap that wasn’t worth buying, but I’m not going to pitch it or hope for sales.)

Why? Well, I don’t really have any equipment to actually work on the comic, so continuing this site as a webcomic site is… rather silly, honestly. I will still work on the comic when I have spare time and motivation, but really, SED is becoming more and more of a doodle sort of comic. As I make more issues though, I’ll add those to the side bar for download.

SED will probably end up as a cartoon on youtube, though, so at least there’s that.

Still, SED is pretty much dead at this point, since I don’t really have any way of keeping it going. Major thanks and props to everyone who helped me keep this thing going for as long as it has. Hopefully we can get everything back up to the point where the comic will be a regular project again. Cheers!

(P.S. – For those who didn’t know (or didn’t follow the news posts I left with a lot of the comics) The laptop I used for drawing broke down, then I decided to learn Java, then I had to sell my car to pay bills, then my phone stopped working, then my desktop broke down so I had to build a new computer with the broken parts from my next door neighbor, then the new computer broke down, and i had to borrow money from family to fix it… and my rent just went up (again.) So, all in all, point is: I’ve had a pretty crappy year, financially speaking, and that’s why I haven’t been able to draw the comic. On the bright side though, I did manage to go to the doctor in September or whatever, and now I do actually have medication for the migraines that were leaving me out of commission for weeks at a time.)

The Term “Classic video games”

What makes a video game classic? Is it the year they were made? The childhood memories they brought upon Kids? These question are useless. I am going to tell you why ,any of you born before the 1990′s believe back then the games were the shit. For those of you who weren’t born before the 1990′s and are disappointed about no having those awesome games when you were kids, don’t be.

Only the good ones are still remembered:
That’s right when you think games from earlier on you think Super mario brothers, Contra, Megaman 2, Etc. But remember not all those games we good. In fact a good sum of those were shitty. Anyone remember super marios two? the one where you would get to the end and find out it was all a dream? Did that piss you off as much as me? Am I over using question marks? I think I’ve made my point.

In 10 years what will be “classic”: That’s to say if the earth is still around by then. What games would you tell your children about? Maybe games like Halo and Call of duty will be done with production and Activision will call it quits. You sit there complaining about how video games aren’t what they used to be. But you have to take account that they just got better, but you and your stubborn generation can’t admit that, isn’t that right gramps?

Modern people think classic means super old!: We all must admit that the word classic can mean many things but people still have the assumption that it’s just age that makes something classic “these fossils are a classic!” (well, they don’t say that but you get the point.) All I’m saying here is that a classic is something from before that was deemed popular at the time and has continued to receive some sort of popularity. Fun fact: By 2030 pacman will be gone. The only reason pacman is still praised is because those who played it still live. By 2030 that generation will be gone, leaving halo fans and World of Warcraft nerds alike left to call something classic.
