Good taste knows no bounds.

-Blaine

8.02.04

Another new strip is up...ya see, I'm doin' my best to keep everything going. Short of charging for strips, I can never really guarentee output. I hope I can keep up a weekly strip (I'm well aware that if you don't promise weekly, people will stop checking every week). At any rate, there's a new strip and I'll do my damnedest to keep them coming.

-Blaine

4.24.04

Yeah. It's been a long time since there's been a strip up and I'm sorry for that. Hopefully these types of periods of inactivity can be avoided. Over the past month or so I've been in New York, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Detroit, Chicago and Pittsburgh. Also I might be headed to Denver soon. So, while I do have the laptop these days, it's still awfully difficult to juggle all of these things.

And well...sometimes you just gotta do the stuff that pays the bills, y'know? I'm not like some of these dudes who make comics for money so, that's life for ya.

At any rate, the positive aspect is that I have tons of new material!

Okay. Laters.

3.12.04

Strip is up and I'm busy as fuck. Peace.

-Blaine

Doesn't look like I'm going to have time to do a strip today. Sorry. I just have way to mcuh work on my plate, but I'll get one up very soon.

-Blaine

2.27.04

One of these days there'll be plenty of news. Just not today.

I love this weeks strip. aaah.... good times.

-Blaine

1.30.04

Sorry I've been lax, Walker. I've had a ton of shit to do this month. A double special thanks to Dreg for picking up the slack two weeks ago. I gotta learn to not let him do that. He'll put me out of business! I can't compete with his style.

1.2.03

Excellent. The new year is here, and the strips keep coming. Thanks to everyone who have been patient through my break period. I'll be transfering all the HUAD data to my new computer shortly as well, so...that'll be fun (the current HUAD catalog of strips, sketches, layouts, story ideas etc is somewhere in the neighborhood of 1GB! Surprising, but cool).

Hope everyone digs the strip.

-Blaine

12.19.03

Aaah...good to be back. Strip is up, enjoy.

-Blaine

12.11.03

Takin' a week off. I have a lot of business to take care of, but we'll be back next week.

-Blaine

12.5.03

Break it down down. New strip. Have it.

-Blaine

11.28.03

This week's strip is inspired by my boy Rade (Rah-Day), who's Canadian!

-Blaine

11.21.03

New strip is up today, come and check out what poor taste really tastes like!

-Blaine

11.14.03

Sorry I've been lax with the news. I've just been busy with boring stuff, nothing really interesting to talk about. I will, however, take a moment to praise Card Fighters Clash for the NeoGeo Pocket Color.

Many, many people told me that this was a quality game. I never actually had a true impulse to buy it until I found it at Toys R Us the other day in a clearance bin (actually it was in the stock room, but I asked if they had any NGPC games...jokingly, and the fella came out with a stack of them. I bought the lot.).

It's highly addictive and a ton of fun, even if many of the characters are obscenely unbalanced (Orochi Iori a.k.a. Wild Iori automatically kills anyone as soon as he's played. And not just 'anyone' but only people with a power over 800 (average characters are about 400, better ones are 500,600 and then your marquee characters go from 700 all the way up to 1500.). And after he does that he's still a ridiculously powerful card.

There's some gripes also about the computer's questionable strategy at times as I've seen it neglect an opportunity to win and also fail to prevent itself from losing. As well they call the fan favorite from the Street Fighter series Fei-Long, Fei-Ling for whatever reason.

At any rate, pick yourself up a copy. You can get it dirt cheap (along with the NeoGeo Pocket Color which you've heard me mention before)

-Blaine

10.24.03

New strip. La la la.

-Blaine

10.17.03

I haven't been able to contact all the winners yet, so if you haven't heard from me...don't panic, I'm merely busy. But today's strip is up.

Interestingly, many news sources will tell you that since Nintendo dropped the price of the GameCube it's sales have sky rocketed. As much as statisical sources can confirm...this has to be true. I can put this further into perspective: Last night I went to buy some WaveBird controlers from K-Mart and they were sold out. They were sold out of regular controlers as well. The only way I could get one was by buying a Metroid Prime/Wave Bird Bundle (which at $59 is a stellar deal to be certain). So I had to go without. Perhaps they really are selling well.

10.10.03 Contest Winners.

I'd like to thank everyone for the terrific submissions, it was so hard to decide that I just let the forum put it to a vote. And the winner is...

Dreg with his fantastic spin on all things John Huges. Special guest Gedde Watanabe (a.k.a. Long Duck Dong) was what really put it over the top for me. Dreg wins The Family Guy DVD box set, a HUAD Shirt and signed print of his favorite comic! Thanks Dreg.

Second place, and a T-Shirt and Print goes to...Briggs with his strip about rap camp. The only man every to rhyme Bezier with Trebuchet. You have your curve and you have your seige machine, put them all together and you win yourself a T-Shirt and a Print.

Third place, and a signed print goes to...Bradley Balach. The dark horse out of western PA. His strip snuck out one more vote than the pack. Otherwise there would have been a four way tie for third.

All winners will be emailed (after this weekend, I gotta go to Chicago again) to get thier contact info and shirt sizes.

Thanks again guys!

Also...new strip is up, the guys are back from vacation (and therefore so am I).

9.25.03 Design Your Own Adventure Contest News.

Today was to be the deadline of the contest, but due to some minor confusion regarding 'the end of September' the contest will be extended until next friday. As in Friday, October 2nd.

Also, instead of simply having myself judge the entries, I decided (along with input from euthanized.org) to open the contest to public voting.

The thread can be found here:

http://euthanized.org/forum/viewtopic.php?TopicID=1258

Thanks!

8.12.03 Design Your Own Adventure Contest Is On!

The contest entries are pouring in. There's a lot of great material being generated. Soon we will have a winner.

For now, back to doing nothing!

-Blaine

8.05.03 Design Your Own Adventure Contest Is On!

And the Grand Prize is... The Family Guy DVD Box Set! Seasons 1 and 2 of the funniest TV show ever.

So here's the prize structure:

1st Place: Family Guy DVD Set, HUAD T-Shirt and a signed print.
2nd Place: T-Shirt and a signed print.
3rd Place: Signed Print and a High Five.

Again, here are the rules:

- The strip does NOT have to be drawn well, or really even drawn at all. Use stick figures if you like, you can just use an old HUAD strip and replace the text or if you want, you can draw your own.

- Funny is really what counts. So go for funny.

- Avoid blatantly stupid jokes. Blatantly stupid jokes include rampant and unnecessary racism or the generalize 'hate speech' (Note 'unnecessary'. I love edgey humor. If you can do it right, do it, if not, don't).

Check out strip number 51 for even more info.

Other than that, enjoy! Submit to blaine@euthanized.org !

Alright, check it out, we're going to have some cool surprises in the coming weeks so, keep checking this page for updates on the status of "Project Cool As Ice Hell".

Also, check out the fan art for a new strip by Ragdoll.

7.15.03

Hmm...something was amiss last week. Who knows exactly what it is in this work-a-day world? One could own up to simply forgetting to make a comic for last week. One could admit not realizing it Wednesday. One could do that, but that would be admitting a fault. And boy howdy...would that be...right.

Okay, I'll make it up, don't worry your little heads off. I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to come up with a strip as I'm teaching a class in Illustrator in Hot-lanta next week.

Gonna get a chance to visit hardware guru Briggs and make more money to buy cars, video games and stuff with. Good times.

So...sorry for the fuck up, I figured just uploading one yesterday (Thursday, the day after I remembered) would have been lamer than just admiting the screw up and not repeating it.

But we're closing in on one year of HUAD, and for a single guy running a comic and site...I think 2 or 3 missed deadlines (only one having been terminal, the most recent) isn't that bad. So bite me, okay?

I love you.

6.30.03

Not a lot of time for news and banter. I have to get read for a trip to Chicago.

-Blaine

6.25.03

Mario Golf for the GameCube comes out this week! I own waaaaayyy to many golf games, but they can be a shit load of fun when done right. Outlaw Golf for example is a great golf game, and Outlaw Volleyball is out soon. If it's as good as the golf, then it'll be the best volleyball game on the X-Box period.

Get Low.

-Blaine

6.18.03

You know what I really enjoyed but won't do a strip on because it's way to topical? Pirates of The Carry-bean. Johnny Depp is good in every movie I see! The man is either the single greatest judge of a script or very lucky in movies. Either way he is the Anti-Matt LeBlanc.

Go check it out, it's a fun movie and contains at least one of my favorite things: Pirates, Robots and Ninjas (note, I will not do an "Oh My!" joke, that's far to easy and cliche.).

For those about to rock!

-Blaine

6.11.03

As you're reading this week's strip, don't act like you didn't love that game. It may suck now but back then it was the greatest thing ever.

That's the best thing about video games, what is super hip today is trash tomorrow!

Join us, won't you?

-Blaine

6.05.03

In my attempts to be slick and have this week's strip automatically uploaded, I'm reminded that this is in fact the year 2003. Setting an automatic FTP at 5 AM, July 4th 2033 will not generate the results I would hope. So...sorry.

-Blaine

6.28.03 HUAD Marathon Day 7. Closing Ceremony.

I hope everyone had as much fun reading the strip sthis past week as I had making them.

See you again at your regular scheduled time. Every Friday.

-Blaine

6.28.03 HUAD Marathon Day 6.

One more road to cross, DMX. Tomorrow is the last day for the HUAD Marathon. Loads of fun will be had.

Today's strip is an attempt at truely flexing my pre-cognative powers. To the best of my knowledge there is no Half-Life2 mod in progress using any SDK official or otherwise, however I'll be surprised if it ...whatever it is, isn't totally and in all ways devoid of originality or based on a remotely interesting concept to more than 20 people.

The dangerous world of PC mods. It's the best visualtization of groups of people who posess skills in many ways (programing, animating and modeling) but have no imagination what-so-ever.

Take that Mod Community! Not everything you do is gold and most of your ideas suck.

TUNE IN TOMORROW!

-Blaine

6.27.03 HUAD Marathon Day 5.

We call this shit the Homestretch. Two more comics to go until peace and rest. Ahh...peace and rest. Peach and Breast. Fruit and Chicken. Or Princess and Tit.

Behold, my illiterative power, on the fly. Booya. Booya.

I haven't had a chance to play Advance Wars 2, but I can't wait to pick up a copy. The Advance Wars games have become amazing cult powerhouses in the US. The "Wars" games have been popular in Japan for decades, ever since they came out on the old Nintendo Famicom (NES in The States).

Which is odd...because they've always liked it, but even the first Advance Wars isn't out in Japan. And it's been like a year. The US gets a game and a sequal, games that were never release in the US and luckily turn out ot be smash hits, but the same games aren't release in Japan where the game has a lineage like no other. Top it off with the fact that the game is MADE by the Japanese in Japan...
Go figure.

Peace. We outta here.

-Blaine

6.26.03 HUAD Marathon Day 4.

It's amazing how much damage you can do to your back by just overdoing it one day. Washing cars, lifting weights and then going "All You Can Bowl For $10 Bowling" isn't a solid idea. But fuck it, what IS a good idea anyways? Brushing your teeth? Sure! Not getting cancer? You bet! But I'm not gonna be flabby and unbowly with a dirty car.

At least, not all the time.

-Blaine

6.25.03 HUAD Marathon Day 3.

Oh, can you feel it? Feel that comedic burn. You thought you were ripped off when there was no strip last week? Didn't ya? You thought it was a cop out. Didn't ya? You didn't think you'd be getting a comedic bitch slapping for the love of my boy Clint, did ya?

Today we discuss Duke Nukem Forever, the game that refuses to be finished. Ever. Duke Nukem was actually the first video game ever planned. William Higginbotham thought it'd be really cool to build a time machine and travel to the future, much like Future Gasmouth did, only in reverse. He then saw a game that he loved. Duke Nukem 3D. And he went back to the 1950's and started to build his Duke Nukem game. The rest, is not history yet because it hasn't happened because they refuse to ever finish the game!

That's right, keep checking back. Tomorrow it's more of the same. Remeber who loves you.

-Blaine

6.24.03 HUAD Marathon Day 2.

Day 2 of the 7 Day Huad WebComic Marathon has come and...not gone, because it's still here, but from my end it's...I guess gone. Cause I don't have to worry about it any more so for me, yeah, it's come and gone. BUT For everyone else it's come and still here as your strip is up and ready for viewing. Be sure to check back tomorrow for Day 3.

-Blaine

6.23.03 HUAD Marathon Day 1.

Starting today and for every day this week there will be a brand new HUAD strip. Today's strip is inspired by a fantastic Half-Life Mod called Natural Selection. The game is uniquely team based, even beyond many other 'team' games. In so much that you are very reliant on the performance of your team mates and many times you're at the will of the decision making abilities of your Commander (who controls the building and equiping of the Marine team).

All in all, though, it's a fantastic game that you should check out.

-Blaine

6.16.03

In honor of the memory of my friend Clint Gorman, there will be no strips this week.
If you didn't know him, you may not care, and that's fine. Think about someone you've lost.
Clint's friends were many. And a lot of people are going to miss him for a long time.

So, this week, there will be no strips. As a reminder that life isn't always fun or funny.
However, next week, there will be 7 strips. One each day. As a reminder to say "Fuck you" to whoever said life isn't always fun or funny...because it should be.

-Blaine

6.13.03

Exceptionally bad computer problems last night and today have delayed the strip until this weekend. Quite sorry, but expect two strips this week as a make up

-Blaine

6.06.03

New strip as well as another Fan Strip today.Tired as hell now. I'm gonna go play some Natural Selection to wake up.

-Blaine

5.30.03

New fanstrips up in the FanArt section. Check 'em out. Quite a nice little section it's turning out to be. I hope people keep making them, it's a ton of fun to see other people's spin on things.

-Blaine

5.30.03

Gridrunner++ is an unbelivable cool shooter. Made by the legendary Jeff Minter, it immediately remids me of a techno remix of some old songs. It's an old style game (Jeff created Gridrunner decades ago for a variety of old computers) using old sampled video game sounds (from a lot of old Midway titles) and even using some old sampled graphics (like from Galaxian). But it's all reworked and represented in such a cool and hip and new way. It's a fantastic game for your PC. Download the demo and if you like it, the full version is only about $10.

Give it a shot, you'll be converted almost instantly.

As an aside, all of Minter's games are good, so check them out of if you have the chance.

-Blaine

5.17.03

No real news today. Still torn between buying a bunch of GBA games or getting The Family Guy DVD collection. I'll let you know either way.

Peace out, Breakout.

-Blaine

5.16.03

Saw The Matrix Reloaded last night. Awesome. Flat out, awesome, not one single problem with the entire movie. Can't recommend it enough as the world's first Intellectually Challenging Kung-Fu Movie. Odds are, I'l gonna go see it again today and tomorrow.

I feel really bad for Outlaw Golf, which is a very good game but got all of 2 days worth of play before losing it's spot as comic topic of the week. But nothing could really top what I saw last night right now.

I might also get some chinese today. How's that grab ya?

Check on Punt.

-Blaine

5.09.03

Big week for me. I get to spend three days at the International Confrence on Entertainment Computing where I'll eat for free, sit in on interesting lectures and hob my fucking nob off with various industry-related types. Just this evening I sat in on a cool conversation between one of the designers of Midnight Club 2 and a gentleman from a university in Hong Kong. All the while discussing a presentation from Chris Klug of EA fame.

How I exactly fit into this whole deal is beyond me, but damn it, I love it. Starting bright and early tomorrow and if you don't think this whole confrence is gonna just generate an insane amount of comic strip ideas...

You can't triple stamp a double stamp.

-Blaine

4.25.03

I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. There's something about these wierd, poorly manufactured and named icons that come from the far east. It's amazing how drawn you can be to them.

Amazing. I just wish I could make my own.

-Blaine

4.18.03

Thank you for your patience, the new strip is up and ready.

As a simple but heartfelt "I'm sorry" gift, here's today's strip in the somewhat popular extra large format.

Don't Pick Up The Phone Booth,

-Blaine

4.18.03

Little delay on today's comic. I got a pretty wicked cut on my hand last night so things are slow going on the drawing font. It'll be up, just probably not until this evening.

Sorry, yo.

-Blaine

4.11.03

Alright, I've been revisiting some favorite games whilest I'm broke, I can't have Wario Ware, Apex or Dark Cloud 2 today, so I'll just have to make do. I've been spending a profound amount of time with Command and Conquer: Red Alert. It's a great game, but I remember why I used to get so pissed off playing it...because I never had anyone to play against. The computer's AI is so much better than your own troops. I find it impossible to run over an enemy foot solider, no matter how fast my vehicle, yet the CPU can mow down 30 Tanyas with an Ore Truck, no matter how fast I press "X", so essentially foot soldiers are useless to me...but then I need them because the enemy footsoliders will just gang-bang my tanks. Sucks, no wonder I get lame and just build Cruisers and blow the shit out of his base from a safe distance. Still a great game, so long as you're not playing against a processor.

I also recently patched Uplink, I really wasn't aware there was a patch. But you know what? THIS is what a Patch should be, not only did they fix the problems with the games but actually added stuff to it, it could easily be considered a free expansion pack. New in version 1.3 are LAN systems, which are supposed to be exceptionally hard to hack. You can still play with your old characters, but you won't have access to the new software for hacking LANs so might as well start over. I figure about an hours worth of work and a couple ballsy bank hacks and I'll be back where I am now.

Still, the game is now getting a US release and should be on shelves as we speak. The game owns you, so you might as well own the game.

Aim for the crotch,

After a week's vacation I'm black and bladder then ever! Tons of good games out right now; Zelda :WW, Mr. Driller Land, Advance Wars 2, PN03, Def Jam Vendetta and so on. While it's cool to have a lot of reallly good games coming out, it is a little frustrating to have them all come out at once. Particulalry later when we find ourselves in a massive lull with a dirth of good titles.

But, it's my kind of frustrating.

Thanks to everyone who showed concern during my unannounced hiatus, we'll just say that was my April Fool's joke. ha.

-Blaine

comic time.

3.14.03

No big news post today. Just comics and lots of love.

-Blaine

3.06.03

Wow. I've been doing this strip now for **insert however long strip has been running**. It's hard to believe that I've managed to think of **insert however many strips are currently done** jokes. If you would have told me **current date minus however long strip has been running** ago that I would have been able to come up with even **however many strips are currently done divided by a random number between 2 and 4** I would have said you were insane...let alone **random number used to divide the strips currently done in the previous statement** times that!

I mean, there's only so many jokes you can think of about **insert whatever strip is currently regarding**!!

But my love for doing **insert name of strip** hasn't diminished any. I'm looking forward to doing another **insert however many strips are currently done*.

And a very special thanks to an important **insert your gender here**. Without **insert your name here** none of this would be **insert synonym for 'possible' here**.

Keep it real, Ike.

March is a big month for Video Games, man. Can't wait.

We had server problems earlier today, but the new strip is up and running.

Go on and get you some.

-Blaine

2.20.03

Sometimes you can write a strip too well. I've been spending a lot of time playing RE0, more on that later, and when I wrote the strip the ideas I had for the mansion were pretty funny if you ask me. As I played more RE0 slowly, one by one each one of my 'ideas' actually turned out to be in the game. I don't know quite how to feel about that, but...*shrug*.

Anyways, Resident Evil 0 is not getting the props it deserves. The game is very good looking, has a wonderful score and plays great. The story is fairly good, I must say. Also the addition of the 'partner' feature and the ability to just drop stuff wherever you want (instead of needing to use the 'storage box') is really cool. I haven't enjoyed a Resident Evil this much since the second one. And if you've never played one before, it's a great place to start. The game is tremendous fun and genuinely scary.

The fact that it's not getting it's recognition upsets me, but seems to be fairly typical. It seems the coolest thing you can do these days is hate Nintendo and the lamest thing you can do is like them.

People need lives.

-Blaine

2.13.03

Another special bonus for this week is Strip 21 "Backyard Paintball" is available in two versions, the standard size you see every week AND an extra big version. The extra big version can be found by clicking here. No specific reason can be given why I made a big version, but I figure someone may find it interesting.

Also, in mid-week a "Links" section was finally added. You can get to it by clicking on the picture that says "Links" above. It looks a lot like this although you can't actually click on that picture to take you to the Links page...come to think of it...sure why not... . There you can click on the second one I made or the one above, as mentioned, but you can't click on the one in the middle; You can it just won't work, see.

There. We got that settled.

That'll do it for this week, until next time kids, remember:

Fur is Murder, but so are Shitty Million Dollar-Licenced Hunks of Garbage Games they seem to churn out weekly...it's just that animals are cuter than gamers.

-Blaine

2.11.03

All right your present is here. Be sure to use the pictures IN the zip file, don't get all lazy and just use the pics from the page. I always loved Valentine's Day in school. You'd get these little cards with monster trucks and Ghostbusters and New Kids on The Block, it was like Pop-Culture day, and sometimes you'd get the lame ones without some immediately recognizable or popular figure...but it has a sucker attached to them. Oh hell yes. That's what I'm talking about. While I really liked getting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Valentines, the gay one with a kitten that had a sucker was still key.

So with that spirit, I made everyone some valentines they can print up and give out! Does this cheapen the most recent comic? Like I only was promoting the valentines and there was no strip per-say, just something holding a preveiw of the valentines? Like Spiderman used to do all the time? How he'd capture June Jitsu with the help of some kids and Hostess Twinkies? God I hope so.

Now download, print and share your love.

-Blaine

2.09.03

Whoa...new strip already? Damn right. Also in addition to ANOTHER strip on Friday, some time this week there'll be a special gift for HUAD readers. Hardcore week this one is, huh?

Side Note: The create-your-own-play in Madden 2k3 (for all major game systems) is both inspired and insane. It's surprsingly fun to come up with as much stupidity as possible, although the lack of some concepts is rough, namely things the pre-packged plays posess (direct snap to someone other than the QB, reversals and the dreaded lack of a 'pitch' making it impossible to create a Hook and Lateral play, although you can try to just do it anyways).

Enjoy your soup.

-Blaine

2.07.03

New strip is up. Usually I have it up Thursday night (Eastern Standard Time), but I had some computer problems yesterday so, it's up now.

Alright, next week is probably gonna be a two-fer (two strips). One guarenteed on Friday, as usual, another one sometime before then.

Keep it real, Pinwheel.

2.01.03

Apologies and new fan strips all around. Check it out, yo.

1.30.03

Strip number 18 is up and ready to be enjoyed. Personally I enjoyed this strip as much as....two hundred and fifty dollars...worth of puddin...awwwww yeaaah.

Incidentally, I was re-organizing my room, throwing out old stuff and what not, and I found my self playing my NeoGeo Pocket Color for a long stretch of time. It's really a bad ass little handheld. You can probably find them for like $20 these days and it has a fine joystick controler. My personal favorite game is Ganbare Neo Poke Kun, it's like super-japanese-mini-game funfest. And if there's three things I love it's Super Japanese anything, Mini-Games and Funfests.

Till next time, Peace Out Girlscout.

1.23.03

As promised, your second strip this week. I figure what with all the games that now support real-time voice chat over the Internet, we're only a few years away from real-time video phone in games. From there it's just a hop, a skip and a jump from real-time tele-presence, at which point in time all games will be remarkably similar to...to...I don't know, who cares? Is it really THAT big a deal? It's been around for god knows how long, I used it on Alien Front Online for my Dreamcast and NO ONE ever said anything. It just be me yelling "OWWNNED" and talking like Yoda. But for some games, like team oriented ones, I see how it's a good step forward for the console world.

At any rate, here's the strip. You may notice something different about this week's strip. You may or may not understand. But that's life, not everything is spelled out and explained to you. If you know what it means, you'll know why it means it...and why no explanation is forthcoming. If you don't, I'll humor you with this;

People deal with things in different ways, respect how your friends and family do things, as I try to do the same.

Another early update, this week is looking like a two-strip week so far.

I actually got around to playing Animal Crossing again this week after a 2 month hiatus from the game. Man, every day I get more and more excited for a sequal. Deer Hunter isn't a manly game. Anyone can play that. It takes a MAN to run around in a video game with a pink shirt and a pinwheel running errands for your animal neighbors so they'll give you home furnishings.

Its like IKEA for geeks.

I feel bad about this strip though, the international readers might not get the joke since it is sorta local, but...that's life man.

Alright, Catch you later.
