Dangerously Scene.

Or maybe it's called Scout Crossing. I'm still not very sure on the title; it's not perfectly advertised.
Either way, this is a webcomic I just came across the other day. Created by Scott Fergus, the mastermind behind Nerf This and other works, I like to think of it as an alternative-trendy take on the Scott Pilgrim mythos. (Have we decided it has it's own mythos yet? Is there a council to decide that?)

I have always been an admirer of Fergus' art style, and I believe he has discovered the perfect culture to integrate it with.
The story began off a little confusing for me, but soon enough I filled in all of my holes of misunderstanding. It begins with the classic "hiding of the hero" and the typical "call to action" you children learned about in high school English class. Except when Scout is called into action, he begins to punch polar bears and make explosions with his sweet sleeve tattoos.
Yes, magical flower-bomb-tattoos are the source of his power. Which, frankly, is awesome.
I have never been a fan of ink myself, but after only a hour of reading this story I was seriously reconsidering my views.
There are also cute girls, music jokes and a murder mystery.
Stop reading what I'm typing and go read it for yourself. Page one is right here. Dangerously Scene updates once a week; twice if we all are lucky.
Is it just me, or does a female character like this appear in all of his works?

One of my major obsessions...

Webcomics.
I'm fanatical about them. The last time I checked, I have almost 100 different sites bookmarked. Granted, they all don't update daily. Though I still shuffle through a good couple dozen each day, reading them.
Sometimes it feels like an addiction. Sadly there's no rehab for this.
There is a long list of why I love this medium. They're free, hilarious, and independent. Mostly. 
From time to time I will talk about some of my favorites; most you may have heard of, most you may not have. 
This week is brought to you by: Dr. McNinja.

The series is written and drawn by Christopher Hastings, and colored by Anthony Clark. When I say series, I mean a damn good ongoing one.
I was drawn in during my high school days, and still read it through college.
Is it confusing? Yes. I love that.
Is it ridiculous? Yes. I love that even more.
Amazingly they leave no plot holes, and introduce some of the most ridiculous characters and media commentary I've ever seen.
If you had to start reading somewhere, try the newest story arch: Found here.
Everything is pretty much explained as it goes along.
Just learn to accept that a giant gorilla with a pet cat (with an eye-patch) is driving the car.
Just roll with it.
Did I mention that I once dressed as the good Doctor for Halloween?

What luck, to find a gorilla in high school.

Nostalgia is super effective.

I'm all about nostalgia. The old games I played when I was a kid, the old shows I used to watch. Most of it still entices me to this day. Honestly, it's used more of an escape from my responsibilities than anything.
That's why I found this video pretty interesting. A friend sent it to me, and it speaks true.
Sometimes even your favorite hobbies can't block out the challenging things you find.
Also Pokémon is funny. All I use it for is procrastination.
