Baddies:

OMG you're still alive?

gun_metal — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 23:15:02 GMT

Yes, I am. you may have forgotten me, or removed this community long ago, but I've come to share with those of you who are NOT dead that I've got a quaint little podcast and community going on over at Fall-Damage.com.

We talk about games, and whatnots. It's fun. You should come.

Check out our forums at fall-damage.com/forums The Podcast has been running since September and can be found on itunes, zune, and everywhere else. The Forums just launched this week, and so we need awesome people like you to join up and get to chit-chatting!

See you there!

I'm going on vacation next week.... all next week. I'll be off on a little island with no worries.

I plan to spend at least some time on the beach doodling up some new baddies, so I can recreate them in all their spritey glory after I return!

In the meantime, all the cool kids are hanging out in moral_quarrel arguing about gay rights, time travel, and not so hypothetical hypothetical situations. Go. join.

It'll only hurt for a minute or so.

It's been over 7 months since I posted in here, and the watch list still tops 100 people. I appreciate your laziness or hope.... or lazy hope.

I'm bringing Baddies back, though on a fairly intermittent schedule. Expect an update every month or so, maybe more if I get the creative bug in my ear. Weekly is right out of the question, as I also recently brought back another of my favorite communities theprotoculture. That's a community where I post a comic book cover with the text boxes whited out each week, and the members submit their own captions and we vote for the best. Digital trophies abound, and whatnot. Go check it out.

I'm also roaming around the neophyte debate community moral_quarrel. I like having humor-influenced debates loaded with big words and bullshit.... and trust me this is goin to be the place for that!

So stay on board here. Your rewards are on the horizon.

Check out my other favorite communities. They're the funnest places on the net.

And keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars!

In case you hadn't ....

This comic has kind of faded to the background of my mind. I peeked over at the userpage the other day, and saw that virtually no one has unfriended the comic yet.

I'm pretty bad at remembering to remove dead communities too. Don't feel bad. Personally, I like to think you all remain out of hope.... hope for an eventual Baddies return.

It's not going to happen, of course, but I do appreciate your tenacity.

For now, I bid you all adieu. Feel free to stop by my personal journal any time, or come check out one of the communities I'm actively involved in.

audiothesis is a brand new community I just started where 7 contributers post a couple songs from their vast catalog of mp3's for the community to peruse and sample. It's a great way to find bands you'd never hear otherwise, or get all nostalgic about ones you haven't heard in a while. Also ZOMG FREE MUSIC!!!1

astute_ is simply a community where people with a couple brain cells try to rub them together. It's fairly small right now, but it's a haven for intellectual stimulation.

Yay for internet warfare!

gun_metal — Mon, 09 Jan 2006 16:10:09 GMT

Oops.... I've been lame...

gun_metal — Wed, 04 Jan 2006 21:51:24 GMT

Despite not providing you, my loyal readers, with a new comic for a couple weeks now, the membership has unexpectedly grown instead of shrank. That's pretty cool.

So what's my excuse? What's my elegantly crafted reason for missing so many updates that will simultaneously appease my critics and lift me back to a pedestal of righteousness?

Umm.. I was playing Counterstrike?

NO NO NO DON'T LEAVE! WAIT!

Alright, here's the scoop. Life continues to interrupt this fun little comic. New resposibilities at work and at home demand some changes. I'm trimming the update schedule back to once per week. New comics will be every Monday, and if others pop up here and there.... well that's just gravy, folks. But it's obvious I'm not going to be able to keep up with biweekly updates any more, so it's better than nothing I guess.

I appreciate your patience, and support.

No Comic Today!

We're playing with toys!

Punch-outted

baddies_mod — Thu, 22 Dec 2005 14:42:58 GMT

Gun: Sorry for last week or so. I hope this 8 panel doozy makes up for it. And I have another 8-panel comic planned for MOnday's update, so there's some extra love there too!

Credit for the majority of this comic's content should go to bossgoji, who is actually taking his role as creative consultant quite SERIOUSLY.

baddies_mod — Tue, 20 Dec 2005 04:20:15 GMT

Sorry for the missed comic.

Seems like our author is having family emergencies that are just a BIT more important.

Hope you understand!

Announcement! Does not contain marshmallows.

baddies_mod — Fri, 16 Dec 2005 19:07:24 GMT

Sorry there was no comic yesterday. Gun is going through some family stuff which is really none of your business, so he'll be AWOL for a bit. He'll be back when he's back, so cool your jets until then.

In the meantime, I was thinking we could organize a sing-along. Anyone here know the lyrics to "Rawhide"?

That reminds me.. i gotta get to the store today >.>;

There's a new comic.

gun_metal — Thu, 08 Dec 2005 16:44:40 GMT

For some unknown reason, the comic keeps popping off of people's friends page.

Go to the community journal (baddies) to see the most recent comic.

I'd hate to think my "**CENSORED**" comic is actually getting censored by LJ....

CENSORED

gun_metal — Thu, 08 Dec 2005 14:36:40 GMT

This is what happens when people start listening to Tina from P&L.

baddies_mod — Mon, 05 Dec 2005 15:13:31 GMT

Well, readers, gun decided to take a long vacation this weekend and missed the comic for today. We will have a comic for Thursday, however. Sorry!

Forwards suck.

A minor note from the author:

gun_metal — Tue, 29 Nov 2005 00:59:28 GMT

Today (or yesterday... or sometime recently at the very least) we hit 151 members. This is noteworthy simply because that's the point where Livejournal kind of stops listing everyone on the shortened userinfo page, and uses ellipses to symbolize everyone over 150.

So zemira, please take your place behind those ellipses over there... and wait patiently for yamiaaden to join you.

In honor of this monumental occasion, here are the 10 best usernames watching this community.

10) 4pants2em0
I don't understand this one, but you'd have been #1 if you were called 2emo4pants.
9) edmcman
I just really hope that's not your real name... if it is, move Mr. em0 up one slot, and put papercut_phobia in at #10.
8) steaksammich
Nothing fills you up like a good Steak Sammich!
7) 16waystosunday
Some of the best names are just good old cliches.
6) rae_too_serious
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: There needs to be more rhotacism in usernames.
5) unknownname
You've fooled us all, unknownname!
4) blackperson
And in his userinfo, it shows that he IS too!
3) a_cow_says_moo
This username (had I known it then) could have saved me years of hard work and confusion on a Peruvian dairy farm.
2) techromancer
I'm not going to wax on about the name, because he's on my personal friendslist. And that just seems wrong.
1) atomicblog
Try to say that to yourself without giving it the George Clinton A-TOM-IC DOOOOG cadence. YOU CAN'T DO IT, CAN YOU?

So in summation, you 10 people are the cream of the "renaming yourself to amuse some random internet guy" crop.

Sorry guys for no update yesterday. It seems the whole crew was out doing thanksgiving family things. But the baddies crew hopes that all of our members won't mind we kinda missed out on posting this thursday and wait for what we have in store for monday.

Happy Holidays everyone!

The Rescue of Toad

Gun: I always felt sorry for poor unwanted Toad. We love ya, little guy!

Bionic Error

baddies_mod — Thu, 17 Nov 2005 13:09:23 GMT

Gun:This particular comic took a lot longer than I had anticipated, but I feel it turned out even better than I imagined.
I could watch him swing all day!

He knew that the black cat, the broken mirror, and walking under the neighbors ladder just didnt seem right that morning.

A Statement of the Very Obvious.

baddies_mod — Mon, 07 Nov 2005 18:21:21 GMT

Yo. I'm Goji, the Creative Consultant, VP of Member Relations, and self-proclaimed Lord of All Things Fuzzy and Kickass. Gun has named me to the position because hey, every community needs a token furry. My stated duties are as follows:

1. To comment on the humor, or lack of same, within Gun's comics, therefore providing feedback with which to make aforementioned funny funnier.

2. To provide, through discussion, inspiration for new comics to be written by Gun, and otherwise act as his comedic foil.

3. To hand out citations and awards to those members of the community who have distinguished themselves, as well as handling most member-related functions. Yes, I realize that sounds extremely dirty.

These duties and titles stated, I hereby by demand a 20% market share in your firstborn child.

And speaking of that last duty... we have an award to hand out. popethro, you're our hundredth member by complete accident. You earned this by quitting the first time, then rejoining once it became popular. You ponce.

Pipe Dream

baddies_mod — Mon, 07 Nov 2005 12:45:25 GMT

Gun:
This really cuts to the heart of Baddies.... am I the only one who ever saw a Koopa Troopa between two pipes and wondered how horrible that existence must be??

Gun and I would like to thank everybody who has promoted in thier userinfo and journal...including black_widow, kobudogirl9, ladecker, microchip, piratequeenursa, and x_xsweetiex_x.... AND, of course, knockoutapathy.

And if we missed you, please know that your help is well appreciated. :)

A special shoutout to bossgoji for inspiring this strip!
