This is just a test. I'm planning to use Imageshack to display my comics from now on so I will no longer have to upload individual panels one by one. They will form under one single strip instead of being a separate files which will save a lot of loadig time. by the way.

After just one year, I finally reached my 50th comic strip. How impressive.....(sarcasm) I've been neglecting this Blog comic too often. Maybe if I hadn't wasted my time playing Counterstrike all day and focus on drawing something for this blog during my free time, I would probably reached comic 100 by now. Maybe for my New years resolution, I will get a 100th comic in 2008 before I complete ITE course later in march 2008 and before I am called up for national service. Heh, 23 dec 2007 marks my 20th birthday so now I am officially 20 years old. That makes me a young adult. I am no longer a teenager anymore but I still have a heart of a teen. I wish I could remain as a teenager but we all know aging is irreversible. Thankfully, 20 years old is still young. Anyways, the appearance of Greg and Lam the snail is so rare in this Blogcomic. Maybe I should make them appear more often but not too often. Or else this BlogComic would be called SnailTalk instead of ARRAS( A Really Random And Silly)

If you're wondering what that robot is, that's the Brotherhood of Nod Avatar Warmech from Command and Conquer 3. Those two people are the fire nation warriors from that Nickelodeon Show, Avatar: The last Airbender. I really liked that show. The Avatar is one of the reason why I still watch Nickelodeon. Yeah and we all know that Aang is someday going to be the one who will lead a rebelion against the oppressive fire nation and win the war while Prince Zuko will eventually be the new Firelord. That's my guess actually. I haven't watch the new episodes yet.

Pocong is a Malaysian/Indonesian/Singaporean/South East Asian ghost that is wrapped in a white cloth use to bury the dead. They are entities whose legs and hands are bound together by a rope which prevents them from moving propely causing them to hop. Pontianak is also an asian ghost in folklore. They are much scarier than you think. Personally, I find pocong to be completely harmless as their hands are tied and they cant do much but hop around. The guy with the glasses was originally carrying a bag but I erased it was it seems to be unnecessary.

Well it's not that I am too lazy to add the dialog but it's just that there was WAY too many scenario of how this comic goes. So I guess the only way you can understand is if you exercise your own humour and imagination.

Ted and Ned returns in another episode of Counterstrike Noobs

It happens to be a strange coincidence that after I made this comic strip, my computer hard disk crash and was unable to boot up so I had to reformat the entire hard disk again. Fortunately, this comic was saved into my thumbdrive before the crash so it was not deleted along with the other files in my hard disk. Tlak about bad luck.

I decided to use a LONGER box for my comic from now on. The old one was a bit too crampy and the original box was way too big. ANyways, I got a copy of Pokemon Pearl Version for my DS Lite and the pokemon in the game are, well it's hard to say. Some looked really cool but there are a few which are not that I say hidous, but rather give you the feeling of saying "What the Hell is that!" when the first time you meet them. Combee is one of them. I personally like the older first generation pokemon design. They look near-realistic than Surrealistic. Well thats Fantasy. Pokemon can be Surreal sometimes. Not supernatural. Just Surreal

I always wonder, supposedly if an army have a super laser cannon like an ion cannon or the particle beam cannon by their side. Then there is this giant monster attacking the city, should they use their super weapon to destroy this monster and risk destroying the entire city in the process or should they sent the entire army to destroy the monster and risk losing hundreds of lives in the process of battle? Many cartoons, movies and to a certain extent some television shows have this kind of scenario. One must think carefully before they act. But at what cost, nobody knows.

It's been two months since I last update this comic. Well anyways, I just bought a Nintendo DS Lite this month along with two other games which is Sonic Rush and Rayman DS. They're both a very fun games. I manage to complete Sonic Rush in three days but I have yet to finish RaymanDS. Well anyways, every DS comes with a free stylus which you can use to touch the second screen. This stylus can act like a mouse or a pen depending on their usage and the game. One interesting thing about Sonic Rush is that whenever you place or touch the character using your stylus, it will cause them to react in a strange way.

I realised that since I can't possibly update every Friday on time,I'm going to update this comic latest by weekends if I finish making the comic very late. Anyways this doesn't seems to be my best comic . Everything is drawn shoddily. I was going to draw 300 Spartans but I only manage to draw 3. Same goes for the Persians at the last panel.

I haven't watch the movie Death note and it's sequel yet but I understand it's concept.It's basically about this notepad or book where if you write down a name of a person you hate,that person will die a horrible death. Now apply this concept to a nuclear weapon. What if you can obliterate cities by writing down it's name on a notepad of death. countries could be wipe off the face of the Earth within seconds after writing down their name. Instead of killing one person, the devastation would be unimaginable. Now that is a real death note.

Hmm,I've just noticed that the posing is a little bit wrong in this comic. Anyways, the last thing a robber expect is to rob a plain clothes policeman arm with a gun.The Johor Police in Malaysia should do a stake out where the policemen dressed up as a normal civilian or rich civilian to make themselve a target to attract any wannabe criminals.The moment some thug shows his intention of wanting to rob the cop is when the policeman nabs him. I meant the crime rate in Johor is disturbing.Once week, some poor tourist or local gets robbed regardless of whether they are rich or poor.One best way for the cops to plan a stake out is to drive in an expensive car and pretending to be a rich person or tourist going through a crime infested areas.Of course they should work as a team.

TO ALL OF YOU NO GOOD THEIVES OR ROBBERS OUT THERE,THE NEXT PERSON YOU ROB COULD BE A POLICEMAN IN DISGUISE.

Well it's true.We Singaporeans would queued up for anything.Why just yersterday after school,I had to lined up for a bus.However,this particular trait is nothing unusual and is very common through out the world.When the PS3 was released in retail stores in the US, there were a very long line of enthusiatic PS/Sony fans/Gamers waiting to get their hands on the PS3 console.Same goes for the Wii and the 360. In fact,Queuing up is so common that you won't know that you're in one.Ever heard of people lining up for death? Those convicts on death row that is.That is the line that no one wants to line up.Don't forget, we always have to line up when buying something in a grocery store.

WELL NOT REALLY.If I couldn't access to the internet,would I have publish these relatively short strip?Yeah the earthquake did cut off most of Asia of their internet connection.It's no big deal now since they have backup connections to europe.I do hope they fix this problem soon.

AND another thing,if I'm too lazy too draw,would I have drawn Lam the Snail there?Well at least I don't put up some crappy stick men doodle as a filler like some comic authors do when they're lazy or forget to draw a comic.Sometimes,If I had no time to do this comic,I would just leave it as it is untill I have another free time to spare.I was busy because of the Java Programming class that I took for two weeks.Well,I wish for a Happy New Year.

The year 2006 has been eventful.Hopefully,the world will try to maintain peace.

Hey there.Here's another Half-life 2 parody or rather blooper.Hmm should have name the title,Half-life 2 Bloopers two.Strider Hiryu is a renegade ninja guy from the game named Strider made by Capcom.The first game is basicly a 2D hack and slash game.It's a fast pace action game sort of like Metal slug except you don't use guns to kill people but instead using a scythe.He have also appear in many other games from Capcom such as the Marvel VS Capcom series.In Half life 2,you'll met the strange tripod creature known as Strider.They are the largest enemy in the game and the most dangerous.It has a machinegun mounted to it's head while a laser beam cannon attach to it's body.(see picture)
It's laser beam is capable of vapourising anything and it could also used it's feet to impale anyone who gets too close.

The Strider's lower cannon doesn't looked like a dick but more of like a bug's abdomen.Like how wasp curve their abdomen when they sting.This is just a reference from the Half-life 2 Concerned comic where Frohman actually refers those as a you know what.

Ok,drawing this wasn't easy on Paint.Especialy Strider Hiryu.For the first panel,I actually base the drawing from one of my GMod posing screenshot.

And the Strider on the fifth panel is based on another GMod screenshot

http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dmoverwatch0002oq2.jpg

I actually intended to put up this image as the last panel but the flying strudel looks kind of wierd so i left it out.Strudel by the way is a sort of a pastry.Read wikipedia if you wish to know more.

OK just before you start asking WHY Scott's left hand is missing in the first 3 pics,well that's because he put his hand inside his pocket.Damn,I gotta to be more careful about my drawings.Oh well.

BTW,the PSP don't have any Automated Parachute.Anyway,a single drop may not neccesarily harm the PSP.

My cousin have a white PSP.He only got two games,

The Sims and Need for speed Most Wanted.

The PSP is impressive for a multi entertainment device.Almost everyone in Singapore owns a PSP.I have thoughts of getting a PSP for my own but it is too expensive.

As for Scott and Adam,I've did some changes to their design.They no longer look blocky and Scott is suppose to be taller than Adam.I decided to draw Adam's eyes using the curve tool instead of the elipse tool.I just realise if his eyes are perfect circle,it would look kind of bulging and I can't do a proper expression with his face.

I am going to use black coloured fonts from now on.It looks nicer that way and much easier to read.I'm also using a new type of speech bubble in this comic.This bubble has a shadow beneath it.Looks neater than the previous two text bubbles.

Speaking of Zombines,if i were to create a guide about zombines this would be it.

A Zombine is a headcrab that has turn a combine soldier into a zombie hence it's name.It was first discovered by Alyx Vance who is also the first person to named it.Zombines behave like any other zombies execpt they move a lot faster than the normal zombies but not as fast as the fast zombies.Zombines tend to pull out a hand grenade from their pocket if they get angry.This particular behaviour cause the other zombies to avoid the zombine.It is unknown why the zombine doesn't throw the grenade.Some may speculate that they become suicidal if they are angry.Others suggest that they may have mistaken the grenade as a soda can and though it could use the can as a club.Some people have claimed that they could heard the zombine saying go back,go back continuesly when encountered.Zombines,like any other zombie species can be easily stopped if shot in the head with a shotgun.

Hey!It's Ned and Ted Grunt from the previous CS noob skits.Looks like they're back

Speaking of buttons,there are some buttons that you shouldn't be pressing during a game of Counterstrike especially source.For example,it is obvious that you should never press escape or the window button which unfortunately tend to be pressed by accident.For the F10 button case,unless you had assign a command to it,it is basicly a quick exit button.I learn that the hard way while during the game.Someone told me if i want to check my rank quickly,all i have to do is press F10.Of course,I was immediately booted out of the game the moment i pressed F10.Damn gotta remember to assign that key the next time I play CS.

Another evil quick exit button in CS is the infamous alt+F4 .Press those two together and you'll be sent back to the desktop faster than you could say :

"WHAT THE HELL! OH MY GOD WHY AM I BACK HERE!?"

The giant creature you see behind the security guard is the alien tentacle from Half-life.Probably the most scariest and deadly Xen creature in Half-life.They are attracted to sound so if you meet one,just keep quiet and move away.I have never been terrified and frustrated in all my life when I played the blast pit level.But after manage to get through this seemingly indestructeble monster,I've realise that it does not look tough now.I admit they do make meledious sound.I wish they brought that thing back in Half-life 2 Hopefully in Episode 3.Since the Hydra monster didn't make it,why not bring back the old original ones?The headcrabs made it! I wonder what will happen to this thing if it lived in the middle of an antlion nest?
