Lets entertain the nerd within

How? With a webcomic of course!!!

Haha, more stuff unrelated to current uni.

Now of course we have all read comics before, hell, we've all made comics before. And not to sound cocky, but the one I was involved in, rocks. Period. But I'm somewhat a fan of other, more commonly updated webby comics, not only those made by 'moi' and my classmates.

For a long while I've enjoyed mainly these three comics on a regular basis . . .

Cyanide & Happiness:


Wulffmorgenthaler:


Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal:


But as of late I have found myself intrigued by another comic, entitled XKCD. XKCD comics can be found here for those of you playing at home, and as far as subject matter is concerned can be ultra nerdy, clever, depressing and feel well thought out all at the same time, while conveyed in the most brutally simplistic artwork imaginable.
In fact, it feels as though alot of the comics are scans of doodles.

I'll only throw one up here, as I'm sick of uploading images, and may have already broken too many copyright laws. Oh well.



Here come the links ladies & jellybeans:

I take no responsibility by you being offended/grossed out/scared by any of the stuff you click your way towards via my links.

Oh yea, and I promise, no rickrolling here :)

Case Study - Behemoth

If I was to think about what influences me the most, there would be no doubt that my music plays a very strong part in shaping my attitude, character and I guess style.

I've decided to throw some stuff up on Behemoth. No, not a giant monster, an extreme Death metal band.

Not only does their music blow my socls off, but I simply love the visual image they have created for themselves, in support of being one of the most blasphemous bands in the world.

For example, check out what they look like . . .


Good gravy! The outfits, poses, location, colour scheme, flags, fantastic. There is no doubt that they are quite the intimidating looking bunch of fella's. And how about that logo! a beautiful symetrical image. Here's a closer look:


'tis almost scary. The text looks positively evil, and the bird graphic is almost reminiscent of one of the Nazi regime's eagle graphics.

Now all of this sort of thing is fine and dandy, but Behemoth arent going to stop there. Oh no. While just about every successful musician makes video clips for their 'hit' songs, Behemoth seem to have taken this a bit further, with the video being made for the song At The Left Hand Ov God.

Commenting, the band said "Never one known to rest on their laurels, the Polish killing machine BEHEMOTH raises the bar once again with their bombastic new video "At The Left Hand Ov God," which provides them the perfect visual forum to convey their over-the-top ideals. This is pure blasphemy at its finest and it is just another step closer to solidifying their spot as the genre's most dangerous and unrelenting force."

I urge you, this will only be a minute of your life. But please, WATCH THIS VIDEO:



Ahh! That's for just a video clip!!! Never have I been waiting with such excitement over a video for a song. These guys need to make a movie!!!

Anyhoo, thats enough about Behemoth. Give them a listen, their music is fantastic.
