Whole bunch of stuff

So while porting over the nearly 100 pages of comics over to the new ESC Archive there were a few comics that could not be tranfered over due to the rules set up by the credit card companies.  So instead of letting them rot I am putting them up here on the site for free underneath the Blood and Violence tab on the nav bar.

Granted there is not much blood in violence in these comic just little things that set the censors off at the credit card companies.

Show don’t tell that is the main tenet of comics.  But some time the problem is showing is boring as hell. There was a bunch of little things that I wanted people to know but at the same time they were not essential to the actual story.  Worse the showing of these little things was pretty boring.  So it was time for an info dump.

I first considered using our crazy old man narrator (Mac) to deliver the info.  The problem in Mac has a tendency to go for the dramatic and long winded speeches.  The info dump out of his mouth was becoming a 3 hour rambling and incoherent lecture.  What I needed was the facts to be delivered by a hyper teen on a sugar high.

Thus Mackenzie was born.  I filled in the other maid around her because I couldn’t imagine someone this crazy being in charge of anything.

I got to say I am pleased with this page.  I really enjoy the little moments in a story where people are just talking and being them selves.  Even though these maid were created as the soul purpose of delivering data I really enjoy this moment among them.

There has been some confusion regarding my last post so let me clarify a few things:

  1. The Exiern members area will remain on the web but it will no longer update and will no longer accept new members
  2. All memberships to members.exiern.com have been ported over to main.escarchive.com.  So the memberships on the old site are on the new site  you don’t need to sign up again.  You should be able to log in right now.
  3. ESCarchive has a submission form on it for anyone who wants to submit a script http://www.escarchive.com/?page_id=9
