I was looking for the comic on AI's naming themselves, and came across this wonderful little bit of xover fic.

BtVS.

SG:1

Schlock Mercenary.

WTF.

What's the difference between theory and practice?

In theory, there is no difference. ;->

Time:11:57 pm
Am I the only one who gets more creeped out every time I see that CloningUniverse.com ad?

Subject:EV1 datacenter still down, here's Monday's update a little early
Time:06:31 pm
Here's Monday's update a little early. Props to Troy Belding of Bookworm Computing for his excellent assistance.

Click here for the image )

www.schlockmercenary.com currently resolves to a new server, but if that's not working for you, hit www2.schlockmercenary.com instead. Hopefully that will clear up any DNS caching issues.

Subject:Why Schlock Mercenary is down.
Time:12:02 pm
Bookworm's text now on Schlockmercenary.com )


EV1/ThePlanet's Letter to everyone. )

According to their heavily hammered update thread(EDIT: Coral CDN link) they're getting everything back together or moved to other facilties to restore Schlock and over 9000 other servers.  They're putting in new electrical equipment (hopefully the non-explosive kind) and getting everything else checked out.  No severs nor network kit was lost.

Subject:Schlock Mercenary datacenter evacuated... update is 3 hours early
Time:05:53 pm
According to one account (which I read on the internet, so it must be true) the EV1 datacenter where Schlock Mercenary is hosted had a "major electrical issue" and has been evacuated.

So... Sunday's Schlock Mercenary update is right here. )

I probably could have waited until update time for this, but I've got other stuff to do tonight. It's the weekend, after all.

I hope everybody at EV1 is okay.

Subject:This week's shenanigans....
Time:10:09 am
Current Mood:[mood icon] curious
Okay, I get what's happening, with Schlock being airborne and the station moving under/around him. What I'm missing his how he ended up like this. Did he jump into the air when he exited the shuttle, or are amorphs somehow immune to centripetal force?

Subject:What would be Tagon's score?
Time:07:53 pm
http://www.howmanyfiveyearoldscouldyoutakeinafight.com/

I can take 15 on without resorting to the Voice. My son can take 25 and my daughter can take on 27. My son's teacher, who introduced him to the test, scored 30.

My estimate is that Tagon could take on 38 five year olds in a fight.

(I also think my son's teacher did this for the same reason Tagon cheated with the pugil stick and Howard convinced his Primary class that he could read minds.)

Subject:A little bit of photoshopping makes the universe go round...
Time:10:48 pm
Used with permission (At least the Tagon head and silhouette)



A iPhoneized Tagon, Kevyn, and Schlock
, as well as an iPhoneized Tagon's Toughs logo and small banner.

I decided I wanted a prettier profile picture on the "Amazingly stupid but why can't I stop playing? Arrgh" My Heroes Ability game/app on Facebook. (Link not provided so as to not addict the innocent. If you're already addicted you know how to find the Toughs if you'd like.)

Anyways, here's some fan photoshopping (I can't call what I do "art"). If you guys want me to photoshop other characters, post linkies to good pictures of them.

Now that I look at the comparison between my vectorized Tagonhead and the groups there are some interesting artefacts, the nose being the most prominent. (insufficiently interesting for me to go back and redo that picture, but... interesting nonetheless.)

Comments welcome.

Subject:Today's Strip Not Approved by the Comics Code Authority.
Time:10:47 pm
Violation: injury to eye motif.

(On the other hand, the Pirate Code Authority wholeheartedly approves, provided the elephant gets at least one appearance in an eyepatch. Arr.)

(And BTW, anybody else here pleased as Punch that the CCA has gone the way, if not of the dodo, then of the buggy whip?)
