Well, after an extremely long hiatus, (almost 3 months,) I've finally returned! ...as if anyone cares. Anyway, for those of you that do, I've done a few things since my re-animation. I've changed my profile a bit, I've uploaded new art, and well, that's about the extent of it.

Well, whattaya know, another post.

Now, I'm not sure if many of you noticed, but I changed my Profile Picture a few weeks ago. Well, it's not my best work, so I'll be changing it again soon. I'll also be posting more art soon. Trust me, it will be way better than the last one I put up (you know, that extremely suckish Sonic scetch I did.)

Those new pieces will be coming out within the next week or two. At the moment, I'm having a friend of mine do some touch-ups on them. As soon as she's done, you will see them. But for now, rest. I'm returning to my normal routine tomorrow. Goodnight everyone.

Weeeelll... I have some good news!

First and foremost, I'd like to thank everyone here in the NG community who helped me through my troublesome time without my files. But, there are good things to be told!

Yesterday, I was sitting in my last class of the day, when the phone rang. My teacher walked over and answered it. The entire time she was speaking I was just hoping it was for me. I listened in (and tell me, just who doesn't?)
"Hello? Yes. Yes, he is. Do you want to talk to him?"
All the while, I knew it was for me. She turns to me.
"It's for you."

I answered the phone and talked to my teacher. He told me he talked to the kid who sits at my computer desk in a later class, and apparently the truth came out. Apparently, he found it and took it home with him. He was to report to the classroom before school started or he would be suspended for theft. Lucky for me, the kid didn't want to risk a mark on his record, so he gave it back! So yeah, I'm pretty happy about that.

Thanks again everyone. Oh, and Chdonga, I took your advice. First thing I did was back up all my data on the school's network. I'm going to do the same on my computer as well.

And finally, here's an image for you guys. I thought it was pretty cool. Happy cat iz happy, much like myself.

Well, this sucks royal balls. Today, shortly after the final bell, I went to my "GF"'s locker and told her about a great image I wanted her to see. I reached into my pocket to grab my thumb drive, when I realized it was no longer in my possesion. I searched every single pocket on my body, and yet, I still couldn't find it. We sprinted down to the only room where I use the damn thing, but it was no longer there either. To shorten this: I LOST MY FLASH DRIVE.

Now to most people, this wouldn't seem like a big deal, but to me it is. I had a year and a half worth of stuff on this. Let me list some of it off.
The ENTIRE Avenue Q soundtrack
All my concept art
All my music, including all the custom stuff I downloaded from YouTube, Newgrounds and Fur Affinity, and music I ripped from my CD's
All my Sonic Images
All my random and hilarious random crap
My Youtube footage
All my past school projects
Some... uh... *cough cough* personal stuff

Let me remind you again, this was all the shit I did on the computer for a year and a half. You can imagine just how pissed I am. All I can be grateful for is the fact that art portfolios aren't so easy to loose.

I was looking around Youtube today, and I came across this reeeealy funny series. I'll put them up for you guys to see. Hope you laugh as hard as I did.

I have found it. The best comic, or more so, novel done in comic format, on the face of the Earth.

I found it thanks to a post on manicjudgement's account that I saw a few weeks ago. He posted a few pieces of some of the chapters on his account, and thank God for the fact that Jay Naylor (the creator of this slice of Heaven) puts the URL for his site on his later works.

I typed the aforementioned line of characters into my address bar and hit enter. When I first saw the site, I was thinking,

"WTF? This isn't what I saw before!"

After looking around for a bit on the homepage, I noticed a sidebar with the picture of one of the characters from the clips I saw on it. It was labeled "Better Days," and I thought,

"You know what? I think this is it!"

So I clicked on the little block, and it took me to the very last page of the 25th chapter of the story. I other words, I was looking at the final entry to this great working. Not wanting to have the ending spoiled for me, I quickly hit the key on the page that took me to the very fist page of the very first chapter.

I then proceeded in the weeks following to read every last page of this amazing story. I laughed, I got chocked up, and I loved the whole of this story. I just finished it today, just 45 minutes ago, and I'll be completely honest here, after I finished, I had the feelings of wanting to cry with joy, because of the moving powers that this comic had on me, cry with sadness due to the fact that it was over, and I also felt like I was going to pass out. I honestly don't know why that happened. I must have just been tired or something.

Anyways, like I said before, this is the best comic ever. I'll post the link below, in case anyone else wants to read this. I just have some warnings though.

-I don't want to sound like the ESRB or anything, but this comic contains large amounts of violence, strong language, partial nudity (don't freak out, if anything is shown, it's censored) and strong sexual content. If for some odd reason, you can't handle any of these, then I suggest you avoid this.

-Furry haters, I know just how much you, well, hate Furries, but, I suggest you give this a try. Just imagine you're looking at people. I mean, this takes place in America, during the late 1900's. The only unreal thing about it is that all humans are replaced with Furries. If you still don't like it, that's fine by me.

-If you don't like the art style at first, trust me, it gets way better as it moves along.

All right, I've jabbered on for long enough. Here's the link to the most amazing thing I've ever read in my life. After you get a bit of a ways done with it, give me a response to this message. Tell me what you think. I thank you all for listening.

Here it is. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you,

It doesn't seem to burn when I touch the game. In fact, it doesn't even tingle. Is it bad that I actually think that Sonic 2k6 isn't horrible? I mean, sure, it has its flaws here and there, (long and often unnecessary load times, some noticeable lag, strange shadow textures and an awkward ranking system,) but other than that, it's a pretty decent game. Am I the lone Sonic 2k6 fan out there, or are there some others? Leave your thoughts...

Could someone give me a link to a website where I can get larger images of the Extreme Gear from the first Sonic Riders game? It's for a project I'm working on. Remember- FIRST, not second. And I mean all the gears. Not just the first 6. Thanks in advance.

I've been playing Thing-Thing Arena 3 for a long time now, and when I had to play for God-only-knows how long to get the "Cranial Excavator" achievement, it didn't give me the medal. Has anyone else had problems with medals, or is it just my family-inherited bad luck acting up again?

I sure did.
