FLAT-COLORING BLASTER NATION AFTER WRITING 17 PAGES OF SMUT, HOT DAMN I’M PRODUCTIVE TODAY
Having played most of his games, I can confirm that Suda51 hates video games, hates the people that makes video games, and ESPECIALLY hates the people who play his video games. Almost all of the games he has the most control over are designed to give you the most painful experience possible, as all Suda knows how to do is bring misery to everyone around him. He’s a man who knows how to tell a joke in the most stylish way, and his favorite joke is that he keeps fooling you into playing these terrible games intentionally designed to be the furthest thing away from fun.
That said, been playing Killer is Dead and it’s pretty alright so far.
Of course! But I want to do all of my co-op games with Leslie, so the fans will just have to join in for other stuff.
I would LOVE to stream some Project M multiplayer matches, IF I COULD GET MY COMPUTER FIXED
Make your own site and make your comic about obscure dumb geek stuff that nobody except for a few truly dedicated ubernerds will get.
Don’t call it Blaster Nation, someone already took that name
So today we spent most of our time doing computer maintenance. Good news! We managed to get our OS installing through the flash drive, though it took a bit of googling to figure out what software we needed to get it to boot automatically. Bad news! Now something else is fucking up. We keep getting blue screened during the installs. Looks like there’s a problem with the harddrives. Or the RAM. Or the new motherboard. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Expect tonight’s BN to be a little late
I dunno, it seems like Nintendo already has their bases covered with the usual 2D/3D Mario game, Mario kart, Mario _____, which I guess isn’t enough these days. I’m sure sales will pick up when Smash Bros. and Mario Kart come out, but until then, Nintendo needs to fix their eshop, expand virtual console capability, capitalize on their expansive library of IPs, and NOT FUCK UP THIRD-PARTY SUPPORT FOR ONCE.
Thanks for all the kind words! Division of labor is as follows:
Pencils, inks, shading, special effects, ramen cooking -> Leslie
Writing, flat-coloring, trash, dishes, general cleaning -> Brad
And we’ve considered streaming comics! But Leslie would have to stream it on her laptop and generally be the focus, and she’s kind of super shy if you haven’t noticed. It’s possible, though! We’ll definitely try it one day.
Nah, we’re not planning on doing the VDSD this year again. But we DO have a really cute and pretty sexy storyline planned out for right around Valentine’s Day!

Everybody gotta scope out that Kim butt every once in a while
I don’t think I had this problem when I got my tablet and stuff, so I’m not sure how to help you. Sorry dude!

What is Spiddrelli?
Spiddrelli is a motion/animated webcomic I work on in my spare time. It updates every Wednesday (when art school doesnt take priority) and is animated in Flash. It occasionally employs sound effects and music tracks done by friends of mine.
Okay so what’s it about?
20 years after a Robot/Human war, a suspicious man known as Robin has started to recruit people to revive Century, an organization tasked with making sure sentient society doesn’t get it’s hands on alien technology it isn’t ready for.
Each character has a past, and each of them has suffered their own mix of emotional and physical traumas. It’s a bit like The Watchmen enforcing Star Trek’s prime directive (though it’ll never get that dark)!
Alright but what’s with the detective at the beginning?
Ford’s story is a parallel story told between the main chapters. It will run alongside the Century storyline until they eventually meet. This particular storyline will be playing off of themes of young vs. old as well as cultural issues.
Why are the updates so tiny sometimes?
I attend art school full-time as an animation major, and even during summer/winter breaks I have projects that I work on. Because of this I’m quite busy/strapped for time and making an animated comic is ten times more time consuming than a simple static comic page. The story is paced to be read all at once, like a movie. Some updates are gonna be slow, but that’s because the pace demands it.
Why does the format change so much?
Doing something like an animated webcomic in this particular format isn’t really precedented (maybe homestuck, but they only do big animated special pages), so I try a lot of different ideas and things to find the best balance between aesthetics, time efficiency and visual style.
Consider this first chapter a beta for the comic’s format.
If you have any suggestions for the comic, feel free to drop me an ask. I have written a lot, but I’m open to any and all suggestions from story to character to art or whatever! I don’t get much feedback, so please feel free to pick me apart. Do your worst.
Thanks for taking the time to check it out, and thanks even more if you spread the word!
If you like my art, check out my webcomic! I made a nice introductory post for you all so you can see if it’s your cup of tea. (complete with a 2 minute intro video!)
Spiddrelli’s one of the neatest webcomics I’ve ever seen and more people need to scope that shit
Matt gets an offer he can almost definitely refuse in today’s Blaster Nation!

We’ve been getting a lot of requests to put up an Amazon wishlist over the last couple of days. We never really thought to make one before, especially not for public use. I’d honestly feel kinda bad having people buy us things, fans or not. Leslie and I freak out if people give us ANYTHING unsolicited and we always scramble to try to find a way to make it up them, and it BUGS THE HELL OUT OF US when they don’t want nothing in return. WE FEEL LIKE JERKS
So, uh, no. But maybe we will? I don’t know. We have a guy who really wants to buy me Yakuza: Dead Souls and it’s hard to deny him.
