I know. I suck.

So it turns out I know how to complain about myself. I know I haven't posted in a week. This is for three reasons:

1. I was assigned a rather tough case for my firm (I'm not at liberty to discuss the details), but it required a number of hours at the office and by the time I got home I simply was too tired to want to do any reviews.

2. I was working on a revised review system. I've acknowledged that my review system does not lend itself to evaluation of humor. I know. Hopefully I'll have it by next review.

3. I was reading my next comic. It's a long one, but admittedly I finished it earlier this week.

I'm back. And I have less vengeance

So the review on Y2CL was a bust for two reasons.

First: it's a lagfest. To read any portion of that comic takes forever because they have crappy servers and way too many adds.

Second: I felt really bad about it. First, my tone was just incredibly condescending. Second, here's an excerpt: Not only is it intolerant, racist, insensitive, objectified women, constantly makes lowbrow toilet and sex humor, but the characters are less than utterly flat. They transcend the plane of boring, flat, unrounded, cliche, and scarecrow characters. They literally make no sense at all. These characters actually score negative on a characterization scale, and that's not making an insult. There's no 'rubric' column for something this utterly pathetic. The 'latest' update was somewhat amusing, so I thought this would be an amusing satire comic like xkcd. I was very wrong. Go to any page (I've only been through the first 40) and you'll see it. But on top of that, the page is so laggy due to miserable servers and loading pages with ads. he skips logic completely and treats fillers as canon, though I'm not sure if the storyline is supposed to have any logical backing since it features a naked fairy princess that seems to love the MC despite his constant jacking off with friends. Y2CL, which I would like you to remember stands for "Y2 Christ Light", alternates between utterly failing to produce a storyline (or any form of clarity, for that matter), and making nonsensical one-shots that make seemingly less sense. I pity the poor soul who ever lies eyes on Y2 Christ Heavy. Or normal for that matter. The comic is the epitome of low-brow "humor" that probably encourages the authors to keep their identities anonymous to prevent the mass suicide of their families.

Suffice to say I wasn't pleased, and I thought if I posted an entire review of that, especially one at an author's request, I'd only be beating a dead horse. The comic puts out some legitimately funny material in their later comics (much, much later), but anything involving its convoluted storyline should be kept away from at all costs. Their one-shots are pretty good though.

Alright, Alright. I'll bugger off this coil of thought and get working on that next review. Sigh. Burned most of the day reading that slow comic. v.v

Wow, that sucked. Oh well, let's try again.

For those of you who don't get today's blog reference, you can get it here. It was a placeholder quote for Kael'thas during beta test for patch 2.4.0 for World of Warcraft. I don't play anymore, but I can certainly appreciate some good developer based humor.

This is my first 'News Update' post. First off, I'll point out that I've permanently left Frumph.net now. I said I was moving out, but I'd still like to affiliate, and in response the site admin banned me and deleted all my reviews. Wow, that sucked. Oh well, let's try again.

Lucky for my I saved my reviews here, and I'll keep churning them out. I keep getting good suggestions that I look forward to reviewing, so keep emailing me with suggestions and I'll add them to my list (pictured to the left).

I had a lot of friends on Frumph.net, so I hope they visit me every once in a while.

I'm going to take this change to update you all with my system. Once again, you can look under 'Format' to see how I go about each review. If you search for stuff on my blog, you can either put "#" or "#/5" (example: 3; 3/5) and it will display all the reviews with that score. This also works with comic titles. I hope that will come in handy for my readers later.

The reason I titled this was not because of Frumph.net though, it's my bad this time. I felt my review of Misfiled didn't do it justice, I think it was because I was wiped when I wrote it. Expect a big update, but the scores to stay the same. Notice that I have also added a new comic to my list on the left, the list as a whole being a new addition.

I plan on taking things a little slower to pump out more quality reviews, but don't dispair, I still hope to put out at least one a day when possible (when I review longer comics this will, of course, not always be so: I was reading Misfile and Twokinds while I reviewed other comics, for instance).

I'd like to encorporate some good lulz for you though, and make this seem like an honest attempt to blog, so here we go. My try at being humand AND being funny. Let's see if I fail.

Anyway, good day for now, see you next update!
