Actually, I've been meaning to ask if I could do that for a while. Kept forgetting, I guess. Sure, I'd love to edit your little news blurbs.

And thanks.

Rant Title: Full Metal Alchemist

I've been watching an Anime series called Full Metal alchemist recently because a few readers have pointed out a potent similarity with some of the idea's I've used in ROM. I was surprised myself how similar some of my ideas are to ones present within the anime and manga. Anyway, here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufpebnilbcg is a link to the cutest little clip from the series. I believe it was the original ending to the Japanese version of the movie, but it was cut out from the American version. Don't watch it if you don't want to spoil the plot.

I'll write more on the series later.

Regards
Shauni

Several "Your"s should be "You're". "Stand asside" in the last panel should be "Stand aside".

Well, the first two 'your's should be 'you're'. The one in the last pannel is correct.

And for the record... That clip, the Kids OVA, wasn't really part of the movie, much less the ending. There's also the Chibi Party OVA and the Alchemists vs. Homunculi OVA... FUNimation hasn't done anything with any of them yet. There has been talk of translating them and releasing them on the movie DVD, but there's nothing official.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

That he does...

As for the clip, I read on the wiki it was the cut ending, but i'm guessing it could be wrong. I've seen the chibi party to, that was a laugh

Yeah, now if you replace some of the words in that explanation and treat it like power loss=busy social life stuff, then you'll find out why I've been dissapearing from the forums/not editting comics!

News Title: It's only happy friday!
Okay peeps, from a while there may only be one comic a week on a Friday. I've been finding it hard to fit in making one comic, never mind three over the last few weeks, so I'm setting the updates back to the way they were when ROM first started for a while. I'll make a few extra comics until I have a steady buffer. Once i'm happy i'm ahead, i'll start updating twice a week.

Today's comic is the third cameo from the 'Be the mob' contest http://forums.pebbleversion.com/viewtopic.php?t=1744 . This character belongs to Steveson http://forums.pebbleversion.com/profile ... file&u=164 . Those who know the ins ands outs will know that Steveson is our editor. Hi Steveson!

Now I only owe Shadowman one ^_^'

Hi Shauni!

Oh, right. Anyway, it should probably be the Watch"men" are here in my cameo's anouncement....unless Watchman is the name of the group or something.

Oh, and you spelled my name wrong in your rant. You forgot the "n".

Sorry about the misspell of your name, I assure you it was a typo. Sorry about that. anyway, the group is called the 'The Watchman', so I guess its good as is, but 'Watchmen' would have sounded better anyway. ^_^'

News Title: Old news is new news!

Anyone remember these two http://www.pebbleversion.com/ROM/ROMArc ... rip79.html from WAY back when? Isn't that odd? Two of the 7 sins were at the scene were Moen went nuts. I'm thinking indirect plot implications!

Anyway, today's comic does not have typos. It's casual talking. There teens. I know, it's kinda sad to do casual text for talking, but I felt like doing it.

Also, I misspelt Stevenson in last weeks news post. Sorry about that ^_^'

Regards
Shauni

D'aw, thanks. But you don't have to apologize, I'm good.


Technically, even with casualness, it should be, "where're", but your version is fine.

"They're" teens.
