Anyone else frustrated by poorly made commercials?

Have you ever started to play an RTS game - more specifically Starcraft 2 - at 11pm and thought "okay, I'm going to bed at twelve, just one match." Then once you get into it and the match goes until quarter to twelve, but you lost. However, you can't go to bed on a loss, right? So now you think "Alright, I can win my next match in 15 minutes, then I'll go to bed." So you start the match and it goes until 1:30 am, you have no idea how it was almost a two hour match and then the next day you pay for not getting enough sleep.

My theory is that there is always an objective to meet. So in your mind you cam just say alright I just have to do this, this and this. After those are done there's even more things to do and quiting out of a match is never an option.

The meeting of the objectives is really the issue. You can always make an excuse for five more minutes in their mind but it's really hard to do that for a half an hour.

Hey valued readers, I know it's been a long time but I have a new site now, so you guys should totally check it out. The site is www.ehgamer.com and it's a gaming website for the gaming inclined. I don't know if you guys are are fans of video games but if your looking for a place for good video game walkthroughs and reviews.

Shortly I will be setting up a new site, probably within the next 10 days. I am hoping to set it to be more profitable, but for now I need some money to continue my hosting and was hoping for some donations. I am planning on making most of the clip art and whatever other downloadable items free(and free to use, but not redistribute), so I am planning on having some more ads up and asking for donations in exchange for the files, but not necessary. So please send some donations. :)

can't sleep. Wondering if i should re-design my blog, like whole new design and identity, feedback please

It's amazing that it's been almost a year since I've posted something. It feels like forever , but I have an excuse, I got so overwhelmed with school work and sports that I nearly forgot about my blog. I guess I'm back because I finally have some time to make a new post, which is this one, and i suppose I should tell you about this new service I've signed up called Swagbucks, and no it is not a scam.



So go ahead and click the link above to get paid "Swagbucks" to search. That's right, all you have to do is search a couple times a day a get paid for doing so. Once have accumulated enough points you can then cash them out at the Swagstore. There are many other ways to earn Swagbucks so go to the site and check it out for yourself.

Since it's back to school time I've decided to make a back to school icon pack which will consist of; a milk carton, a lunch tray, a laptop, a desktop computer, a stack of books, a pair of scissors, a bookbag, a paper lunch bag, a sandwich, a desk, an office chair and a soft drink cup. I have an example for you right here. This icon pack will be available for download within the next two days. All the images will be roughly in the 300 by 300 pixel range.

This is simple the embedded version of the cartoon graduate video. So if you don't like video sites, watch my video here, enjoy. Also I'm still working on fixing my template for IE7 and probably 6, it displays fine in firefox, except for the fact that there is a scroll bar underneath the comment box, but I think that happens in alot of templates. So if you have a lot of viewers/readers that use firefox, I'll have my template up tomorrow. In the mean time I'll be working on the problems in IE.

Alright this will be a short post I guess. The video of me drawing the cartoon graduate is on metacafe right now but it's still being processed, so you can watch probably an hour or so from now, I'll embed the video in a post tomorrow. I'm also uploading it to revver as I right this so I'm going to post the metacafe link and the revver link when it's done. So enjoy my cartoon drawing video.

Well, seeing as today is the first day a school (in Canada anyway) I thought this little guy would be quite approriate. I made a video of how to draw him in flash which I will post tomorrow. Tgis is the exact same version of the character that I mad in the video. Any comments on this character, you know where to voice them. You know, after looking at this character for a while realised that he's kind of crooked, don't you think.

I know I said I would have my blog template ready for download today, but there is still a problem with the embedded comment form. You can see it any of the posts that have comments, the text box get's pushed up to the right and just looks bad, I can't give you a template like that, also if anyone knows how to fix this problem please put it in the comments or email me. I'm not so sure how long it's going to take for me to fix this comment form problem. So it wouldn't hurt to check back regularly or subscribe.

This is something that I've been working on for about a week. I know I've said that I've been working on it before (like a month ago) but that was a tragic failure. I just made a farily simple design, one that I change easily. This will be available for download sometime tomorrow. Tomorrow is also the first day of school.

Anyway, I like the fact that I can change this template at moments notice, which is a good thing because it needs to be a little wider, maybe 900 pixels wide. I also didn't use any images except for the on in the header, which won't be in the downloadable version. I'm using the whole easily customizable thing as a selling point, even though it's free, because you finally will be able to a template that looks distinguished.

The download will come with complete instructions on how customize the main parts of the blog, which will mainly be colors, like the background. I'm going to have to come up with a name for this template too, so if you can think of one, post it in the comments and if I like it enough to use it, your version of the template will come with a custom header just for you. So leave your email too, so I can contact you if I choose your template name. Well, that's about it and I have to get to bed, it's a school night.

This is my lastest comic, I traced over a Mac screenshot. I think it could've been funnier, but I couldn't really think of anything else to put in the error boxes. The caption reads "Mac OS Run Windows Style". So if you can come up some funnier text post it in the comments please.

As the title says, I'm now doing a free link exchange. Which means, I'll link to you, you link to me. Email me a link to your site then I'll review it and hopefully approve it. Please have the link to my blog already on your site before you send your email to me.

The only standards I have are, no adult content, no ecommerce sites or sites only focused making money. Having content that is somewhat related to mine would help your chances of being approved.

In the email you need to have the link to your site, your name and the subject "Link Exchange". Remember I'm looking at content not your ranking. I will put your link in my blogroll. So send it to my email. I will get back to you in one or two days.

This is a drawing of my lastest cartoon character, the doctor. Also, I drew over him in flash, as you can see. I remember now why I switched to taking pictures of my drawings instead of scanning them; my scanner sucks and is slow, plus it picks up erased pencil marks that aren't even visible to the human eye, but I couldn't find my camera so I had to do what i had to do, which was get the drawing on the computer. Anyway enjoy.

Well,over one hundred views in one day, that's good news isn't it. I was surprised to find out that it wasn't all from entrecard, which was what gave me the most traffic, but a large portion was from the blogger navbar, which is usually up on top of most blogs, which I don't display, I wonder if that violates any TOS agreements.

I realise that one hundred views is not a lot. In fact, it's a very small portion of views that some of the bigger blogs get on daily basis. However, my goal right now is to reach one thousand views and after that five hundred views in one day.

The strange thing is, my blog has an average time spent on the site of about two minutes, but the bounce rate is about eighty percent. So please stick around longer on the site, and for the one or two people that are throwing off the average, keep it up.

I had something else to say but I forget it, not to worry if I remeber I'll post it tomorrow, it's getting late.

The winner chosen cartoon character of the five unqiue cartoon characters semi contest is...well actually, I don't know yet because no one comments, it's actually that and the fact that I'm impatient, but I wouldn't be imaptient if a least one person commented on that post. Now I realise my blog is new and not everyone likes to comment, so I'm not mad, but...I'm giving this contest until Saturday of this week, Saturday will be the 30th of August. I actually didn't set a limit on the first post, so sorry about that. So click that link up there and go choose your favourite of my cartoon characters.

Oh yeah, I also have a new video tutorial on how to draw a cartoon in the works that I'll realease on a later date, so you're going to have to suscribe to my blog to not miss it.

This is my silhouette, it's from a picture that was taken right after I fell off of a pair of stilts. That's right I can walk on stilts, which are friends. We made the stilts out of some spare wood, but we couldn't find a sander so put hocket tape down the length of the grips. I think the stilts were about two feet high. Anyway, enjoy the iPod-like silhouette.
