Sims and Social experimentation.

Let me start off by saying that I've been a fan of The Sims since the first game came out. I've played it straight and I've played it for laughs.
The same holds true for The Sims 2. I got it last week and got one of the expansions this week and I've been mostly playing it straight. I've made some good sims this time around. The only thing of note has been that Kota in Strangeville got abducted by aliens one night. The next morning he got dumped on his front lawn and got morning sickness. Much to my dismay, ol' Keith was preggers. About two days later an alien/human hybrid was born to him which I named Robin. She's a cute green little thing. I'm trying very hard in there to get a mother for her because kids, even in The Sims, are a PAIN IN THE SPHINCTER!
I've made my usual experiment in social destruction, the Crackheadz family. Since the game has a disturbing series of options for personalization I've made the most horrid assortment of Lovecraftian freaks possible this time around. I made them active and outgoing with as little possible in any other personality traits so they're very angry and hyper, with no form of cleaning skill. The house is full of garbage and dirty diapers. Their bathroom is constantly broken and they refuse to fix it. The funniest thing so far is that they prefer sitting in the yard or going to work or school to actually being at home.
Okay, that's enough for now more actual comic news as it developes.

I didn't know you played The Sims. Which EP did you get?

Family Fun. Probably a mistake, but I'll get another one in a week or two and see how that works. Any suggestions?

Well, Family Fun is just a Stuff Pack. New items, clothing, and decor, but no new gameplay features, and most of the new stuff is for kids.
I would say Nightlife because your Sims get cars and there are vampires. I have all of the expansion packs and stuff packs except for the ones that just came out last month, and they all offer lots of different stuff.

I have a friend who enjoys making her friends in the Sims, and then pairing them together, to see what happens, and if it's true to life.

Apparently, I don't get along with most people in the Sims. So, sucks to be me?

I'm thinking Nightlife simply because of the cars! That's would be sweet!

Hey Mich, my character in there is socially maladjusted and likes looking for aliens. Pretty accurate so far!

The new site.

Well, this is the new look for now. I tried to do something slick like what HPK had over at Studio Blu before the current version went up. Unfortunitely things kept turning up in random spots around the table, which is odd because I've never had those sorts of problems dealing with tables. Ah well. This will do for now until I figure out what I was doing wrong. Also, for those who don't read the forums, the new update schedule is as follows: Monday - The Errant Apprenctice Wednesday - Munki's Tales Sunday - Geebo You got that? Good. Now don't forget it. Once again, huge thanks to HPK for getting this thing set up in the first place. Till later! - Kev

Geebo: Featuring Cosmic Dash

Today's comic, and the next four or so pages of Geebo are special. They feature Dave Davis' Cosmic Dash characters. Let me just say how much fun it is to draw someone else's characters sometimes. It's a challenge and it let's me stretch my muscles so to speak. Not to mention I get to write someone with different reactions and such. Other than that there isn't a lot going on I guess. The new schedule is working out better than I expected andI have a few projects on the side. I have a guest spot for Tao of Geek I have to get done today and one for Cosmic Dash that I still need to finish drawing. I have to get a banner for Delirium done and some form of Nightgig banner. Mind you, I need dimensions for both of those, so JT and HPK, just let me know the sizes and I'll hope on it as quick as possible. I'm also working on an image for a DVD menu were doing. It's a compilation of short films we've shot over the last eight or so years and I'm putting...

State of Sweatshop Address 8/26/06

Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Kevin Hayman. I'd like to thank you all for coming, and now we will get down to business. As some of you are aware, here at Sweatshop Studios our biggest export is entertainment in the form of the "web cartoons" that the kids seem to be so into these days. We currently provide one completed comic known as "Kota's World" and are producing three series concurrently. They are Geebo, The Errant Apprentice, and Munki's Tales. Did you see that? "Tales"? That's a pun! I understand that humor can be very effective in these sorts of things. Now, as of our last check with the traffic department, we are currently pulling in around 800 visitors a month. My advisors tell me that ranks just above several websites about Martians invading Newark, New Jersey and below several "My Little Pony" fan sites. To attempt to draw more traffic we are actively searching for sites to advertise on that will actually respond to...
