Never before did I notice how much Shasta resembles Data from Next Generation.

Bit of a disaster today as I lost my Downer Newspaper folder - it got corrupted as I tried to remove the external hard drive or something I don't understand. So, for this week, we have the emergency stand by...
That's right, it's the return of the Tabloid gutter press. The Barrow!

But P&A is in tact, don't you worry.

The archive is in a state of disarray, but I plan on fixing it at some point soon. No promises as to when, though. :(

The animation is still happening, by the way. Work has slowed down due to brother Joshua (animator) going back to university / collage / thing recently. But progress is being made!!!

I'm on fire! I'm on fire! I'M ON FIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!

Please go on. ^^

The difference is that sneaking into peoples houses and taking monies isn't wrong and burglary is. Definitely is. Duh, that's why people go to jail. 'Cos I got a sack of cash and I quite happy. Now the people I took it from is a different story...

It's winter. I'm sitting in my room and shivering. What's a poor girl to do?

Sorry it's a bit late. Had a bad case of chickens-invading-my-house last night. Had to fight them off with a spoon because everything else had been pecked to dust.

TheGreatElvenWarrior 02-13-2012 06:38 AM

The way you cropped that photo puts my rock way out of proportion! It isn't nearly that large in real life, honest.

Glirdan 02-13-2012 07:17 AM

There you go Hookbill, there ARE still people reading it! :p

Don't be so modest, TGEW! Don't be afraid to acknowledge your attributes! :p

Why would pirates accept a robot as their captain? I thought Robots and Pirates were involved in an infinite conflict of infinity?

Nearly done on the first scene or so on the P&A animation. It's looking really good so far!!

Galadriel55 02-19-2012 09:20 PM

Oh those silly moron children! You never get a moment's peace with them! I wonder whose gate I should crush into next...

Hookbill the Goomba 02-26-2012 05:22 PM

Thanks to Galadriel55 for satirising the fact that I get a backlog of articles that build up until they're several weeks out of date. :P

Galadriel55 02-26-2012 05:30 PM

Mechadeath? Death? Ooooooooo, death!........

Oh that Alien...

Galadriel55 03-04-2012 07:11 PM

Hobbits? Yes, catch them, please. I think they'll make great dessert.

Westeros is indeed messed up place.

Alien looks so innocent in the picture! :eek:

Blind Guardian 03-04-2012 10:14 PM

Wait a minute...does Alien have a front tooth?

He also has back teeth. Look at his pictures from a couple weeks ago.

Yes! The animation is going to be based on Volume 3 (which I highly recommend reading ;) ). It's a prequel to the whole P&A experience!! :)

Legate of Amon Lanc 03-05-2012 06:40 AM

Oh MY!!! Guess I just got another favourite P+A character.

I ♥ MECHADEATH!!!!!!!!!

On top of that, the Hobbits article really almost killed me...

How is the animation proceeding, by the way?

The animation is going slowly due to Joshua having other commitments. Mostly, you know, school.
I don't know if any of you know how to use flash? But maybe if we decide to do more of these we should get more than one person to do the animating.

Oddwen 03-11-2012 06:10 PM

But...pizza is a vegetable. Samwise and Hamfast are gardeners. Ergo, they grow pizza. I'm surprised the author of that blurb didn't realize this.

[edit] Also, I love how Alien's Tiem transcending hat is also a roof transcending hat. [/edit]

Galadriel55 03-11-2012 06:31 PM

Do the birds really think that's the wurst that can happen to them? Wait till I call a few hobbits... :D

I love Alien's hat. What Oddwen said. Also, how the hand goes from "d" to "q" position (ie thumbs up/down).

I've read it. I just never realized he had teeth!

I want to hotly deny this, but it's very close to the truth seeing as with every passing hour I get closer to spending unfeasible amounts of cash on that Lego Millennium Falcon. Because it exists and I want to make it.

Rune Son of Bjarne 03-13-2012 05:47 PM

The genocide has been put on hold, until I have managed to acquire some more butter.

Wait, you haven't received the shipment I sent you a month ago?? *Scowls at poor mail delivery services*

Oh was that for the genocide?

I used it all in my failed attempt to seduce a dozen llamas, that I met at an Engelbert Humperdinck concert.

But there was a letter attached to it saying "For use of genocide ONLY. Contains lethal ingredients." And the label of course went on to outline the aside lethal ingredients, most of which I am prohibited from speaking about due to copyright infringements and top secret government sponsors!

Let me tell you that the majority of the spy-dancers consisted of "Galadriel couples", formed, of course, by Galadriels 1 through 54.

I was trying (fruitlessly) to figure out who's the person behind Greenie. Then it dawned on me: it's Überdeath. Mwahahahahaha!!!!!
