Blagh!

Duke's picture

Ya know, when you're playin a video game, and, like, you've just killed a bunch of demons, or eyeball monsters, and you find that rocket launcher and a bunch of health kits, what does that mean?

No, it does not mean you're gonna be wading through on fuckin easy street splattering bad guys all the way to the princess or reactor or whateverthefuck it is at the end. It means you're gonna be up against some goddamn Antichrist boss monster in the next fuckin room.

My life is turning into a video game. One of those shitty ones from Japan where nothing anybody says makes sense and there's no game-guide, but boy, does it have good graphics! Click for More


Image correction for Episode 28

Liz's picture

We here at Apocalypse Engine aren't artists, except for Rob, and Shmoo's art tends to be a little creative at times. That's why the bird in this week's episode cover art looks like a canary. In fact — and this isn't a huge spoiler — the bird species in question is a parakeet. I took the liberty of correcting Shmoo's artistic vision; hopefully he won't fire me.

A Certain Something

This is just a blithering blog blindly betwixt a barren bowl of brainy boredom and a brash and bashful blathering. Which is to say I'm kind of sleepy and so unable to resist the urge to type things on the Internets as usual, it happens. Click here to finish reading this mess...


Violet's Periodic Formula

Liz's picture

The awesome team at AOL's Comics Alliance came up with the Periodic Table of Superpowers a few days ago. It's kinda cute.

Violet's formula is: OScTcGDcGe

Or should I throw in Kf for martial arts, Nf for military, and W for weaponry?


Foreboding

Foreboding. Yeah, that's the fucking word.

I knew goin to Oklahoma was gonna be a bad idea in the long run. A big goddamn distraction. Sure, that bitch Sylva needed what she got, but you gotta take care of yourself first. Just like when the goddamn masks pop outta the ceiling on airplanes... put yours on FIRST, then go help that grandma in the next seat with hers.

So we just put a mask on fuckin OKC, and now we're back home suckin fumes, 'cause Positive's takin the initiative... Click for More


There, I said it.

Production Assistant Crowley doesn't think Violet rolled well enough.

I came out of the closet today and damn, it feels good.


Plague!

Shmoo's picture

It occurs to me I should probably make a quick update RE 1/24's episode 17 (or lack thereof). I have the plague, it's like something out of Fringe. I've officially thrown in the towel on finishing off ep 17 during this week *and* then having ep 18 ready for 1/31, not gonna happen. Ep 17 will be up this coming Sunday (1/31). To make up for it if any of you would like a small zip lock baggie of plague snot just go ahead and send me mail.


Boosh!

Season one is finished! Fifteen episodes! That's like just about three months! With episode 01 we had barely any editing, recorded with our backup laptop microphone, and rarely remembered not to click our pens or to announce who was doing what.

By episode fifteen we had a new mixer that was working much better with our new microphones. We had sound effects, plenty of editing (trust me, it's for the best), and I think we're all better about using our words as opposed to body language. It's been exhausting!

OHPLUSALSO now we have super-awesome-Liz-approved cables that have finally finished the job on improving sound quality. I think it was episode 18 or 19 when we started using them, so look forward to that!

Thanks for the attention, you know we need it! :D
