ROM Comic Announcements

[Josiah]

I see what you're saying when I actually go the ROM page, but it looks absolutely fine in my web editor so there's no good reason why it should be screwed up. I guess I'll try uploading it again...and now it works. Guess third time really is the charm.

thank you very much! sorry for the trouble!

ROM Comic delays for Soap Opera drama reasons.

There will be a ROM comic on Monday as I find myself not in work on Friday. At 11am today, my place of work was subjected to a standoff between police and an armed man holding the building.

Here is a link to the BBC website http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/mers ... 927142.stm with news on this story, surfaced to say I’m not really in the mood for anything right now. I’ll make a ROM comic over the weekend. I’ve nothing more to say at the moment except I’m okay as is everyone else involved, but it was a very traumatic day that has left me feeling emotionally drained.

Rant Title: ROM comic delays due to bomb scare related stress.

Last week I posted on the ROM Comic announcements thread http://phpbb3.pebbleversion.com/viewtop ... 35&start=0 about an incident that took place where I work last Thursday. A 35-year-old man believed to be from central Africa walked into the building at half 11 with a “suspicious package.”

He proceeded to take members of staff hostage while the rest of us were evacuated to the club down the road. A 6 hour stand off soon followed as the man held the building. Armed police, bomb squad officers and dozens of emergency crews surrounded the building on Thursday. The man surrendered to police at 5pm. No one was hurt during the exchange, and we were able to return to work the day after, but the ordeal and worry had left me emotionally drained and exhausted. I came home, watched for updates on news 24 and eventually had to go to bed as I was worn out, so that is why there is a comic today and will be a comic on Friday.

I'm fine now, it all seems to have been a dream…but my thoughts go out to my friends who were directly affected by this horrible event.

For full details of this event and a clip from BBC News 24, check out this link http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/mers ... 927142.stm

Rant Title: Shauni of the lack of real news updates

I finally got “The Wild” on DVD and I'm watching it while I write the news update, so its gunna be brief…I will say this however, Nigel the English koala is awesome!

Also, the lion is called "Sam" ^_^

I'll have a review of the movie next week!

Isn't it dumbfounded, not dumfounded?

[shauni]

I think it can be either, the spelling checker came back positive for both, and they are read the same as my speak software read it as I wanted it to be read.

Dumfounded

Rant Title: Shauni’s gone Wild!

Okay, last news post I was watching Disney’s “The Wild” when I was writing it, and I said I’d review it next news post, so here it is.

The movie started off very well and I found myself really enjoying it, I liked the characters, the graphics were pretty good and the pace of the film was decent…however, when the plot kicked in I felt very let down.

The movie’s plot is remarkably similar to “Madagascar” that came out a while before it, it wasn’t very complicated and a lot of the “plot twists” were obvious. The humour was lacking later in the film and a lot of the characters didn’t get much screen time. For the studio that brought us The Lion King and more recently Bolt, I was very disappointed with the story line and almost obvious outcome.
I’d give it, maybe 5 out of 10. Not terrible, but it could have been done a heck of a lot better.

Heya Josiah, this okay to go up either Friday or monday, what ever is easyer for you

Rant Title: Bambi and Cyan

One more comic left and then we return to the story line!
So, the two characters from the intermission story line finally have names! A few readers I know will be glad.

Just a footnote though, the Dryad “Bambi” got her name both from the cartoon character http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bambi and the plant Bamboo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo

....How the hell did I miss that? I use typo checking and speak easy software that READS out what i've written. Thanks for pointing that out.


Cha!

Sorry, but no ROM comic this week. Got my hair done yesterday and didn’t get back still half nine, then discovered Pokemon Platinum had arrived in the mail. Tonight I’m watching my friends band play at a club, so I’ve defiantly not got time tonight.

Two comics next week to make up for it XX

Rant Title: Christmas over just in time for Easter!

FINALY! I never thought we would see the last Christmas comic this was supposed to run over December and mid January at most, but thanks to a few different things here and there I only got it done mid April! GAH!

Just a final note for this comic series, the Winter Solstice http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_solstice isn’t a religious holiday here or in Orca. The seasonal significance of the winter solstice is in the reversal of the gradually lengthening nights and shortening days. Basically, the coming of spring.
Thank you for everyone patience….I can proudly say, next week return to the Onett holy ground for the conclusion of that battle that’s been going on for years!

Third speech bubble. "Winters Solstice." I believe you were going for 'Winter Solstice' and not 'Winter's Solstice.'

[Blue Fire Cyndaquil]

6 fingers. That's all I'll say.

And I'll say, "My name is Indigo Montoyo. You killed my father, prepare to die."
