...but I'm completely drained from midterms. (Are they really midterms if you have like 3 in each class?) Two more to go!...

Really can't wait to be done with them, I haven't finished a comic in weeks (thank God I have a little more buffer left...) 

Oh yeah, and I guess I need to get around to my real life obligations too. I forget about that stuff sometimes, but whatever, real life, who needs it.

I really don't have much else to say in this post, other than that I'm thinking of doing an AMA on Reddit in the near future (did I already mention this in a previous post? I might have...) I might even get 8 whole questions if I'm lucky! It should be a fun ego-killer for me, God knows we can't let me get all big-headed about e-fame. (Also if I do this please don't ruin my life 4chan!)

What else is new... I guess I could talk about TV or something? It's sort of relevant, given the amount of LOST references I pump out (do the kids still watch the TV? Am I old?)

Keeping up with Game of Thrones, continues to be the best show on TV (though when Breaking Bad comes back that might change...) I know I'm really late to the party on this but I've just recently started watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. Everyone's talkin about the Korra these days, and I figured I should catch up. Gotta say it doesn't disappoint, really wish we had a show like this when I was a kid. (Also Zuko calm down, there are other emotions besides anger, dude.) Lets see... Oh, I'd been waiting for Eastbound & Down's final season to air for a while, and just recently I found out it not only already started, but ended like over a month ago. Whoops. Gotta find a way to watch that.

Well now that I've successfully bored you with my television habits, I think I can end this post.

Stay beautiful Nuzfans,
Nuzlocke

But I wish I did.

I hope people enjoy this update, I think it's my favorite of Episode 1. I think this is a good example of one of the positives of the new update schedule, sure you might get some measely 4 panel updates, but every once in a while you'll get a longer one. AND YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN. Embrace the suspense. 

To be clear, I don't hate Oshawott. Well, not anymore. When he was first revealed though, oh dear... I was almost offended. I still believe he is the stupidest looking starter to be introduced in the Pokémon series, and easily among the stupidest looking designs of all Pokémon as well, but eh.... He's sort of grown on me. It's kind of like pugs, where they're so ugly they're cute.

I wanted to pick Oshawott for a few reasons:
1) I hadn't picked water yet.
2) I like his stat distribution and movepool a lot more than the other two.
3) Like it says in the comic, I thought it would be funny.

I already did two seasons where Ruby picked the starter he thought was the coolest, and I thought it would be fun to mix it up and have him pick the one he hated the most for once. Afterall, isn't the Nuzlocke Challenge all about learning to appreciate the 'mons you previously hated/ignored? It seemed fitting to me. 

I should admit, however, that the situation "out" of game didn't actually take place, it just seemed like a convenient excuse to get Ruby to do something out of character. (And to get some browny points with my girlfriend by giving her a small yet fictional cameo. Because everyone knows drawing comics about children's games is the most surefire way to get girls......Oh god no that was that other thing without the pikachus fuck fuck I've made a terrible mistake I'm going to die alone)



I know it was kind of a deviation from the usual formula to include this, and it's something I don't plan on doing again, at least not soon. I'm still kind of afraid I jumped the shark with this (When was the last time Ruby aware he was in a video game, anyway? The very first panel of the original Ruby comic?)

Anyway, I really need to get to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow for Mother's Day and I have a shitload of homework to finish before Monday that I never got a chance to start....

(Also to all you forumites, you might notices a familiar face hiding in the background there...)

Again, hope you guys like this update,
-Nuzlocke

...but that doesn't mean he doesn't look stupid. 

First, I'd like to apologize for taking so long to get this uploaded. I wish I had a good excuse, but the honest truth is... I forgot. It's only about 11 AM on Thursday here, but I know my time zone is relatively pretty lazy. Again, sorry!

I'm kind of busy today, so this is going to be a short post (which seems to be the norm rather than the exception these days.) I think you guys are really going to like Sunday's comic, it's probably my favorite of Episode 1. Pretty sure it's the longest too.

Not much else to say, other than I've had some T-shirt ideas buzzing around in my head recently, so you might be seeing some desperately needed additions to the shop soon, if I can find the time that is... (This quarter is killing me...)

much love,
Nuzlocke

So it's kind of been a busy weekend for me. I've got old friends visiting and I haven't had a lot of time to just sit down and get work done.

I tried to get the comic uploaded this morning, but of course the awful internet over here (seriously, don't got ATT in Santa Cruz) was worse than usual and I couldn't even load up the page. But it's finally up, and in a second I'll have to get moving again.

So this is going to be a short post again, I might add another one during the week if I really feel the need though.

Anyway, Episode 1 part 7 is up. Enjoy!
-Nuzlocke

Not too much to say, except that recently I've been wasting WAY too much time playing old NES games via emulator. (Street Fighter 2010, why do I like this game so much? And what the hell does it have to do with Street Fighter?) Wait, and MvC2 is on the iPhone? Goodbye productivity...

In other news, I've recently been informed of the existance of Nuzlocke-France, a Nuzlocke community for French speakers. The communit seems to be just getting started but growing quickly.

I've also recently come up with a some T-shirt designs, so hopefully I'll find the time to add some much needed new merch to the shop.

Hm... I think that's everything.

EDIT: Apparently Pulsepro can't handle accented e's..s Interesting.

Peace,
Nuzlocke
