Ignition

Apparently, Chapter 4 is all about everybody being angry with everybody else.  Aiden's angry with his mom, Time Lass ,Breakdown and Raine are all angry with Aiden, and Mr. Walters still despises SuperDude.  There are some rivalries a-brewing.  

Raine and Justice are polar opposites, and their rivalry is mirrored by the rivalry still felt by the Dark Avenger (Mr. Walters) toward SuperDude, Justice's father.  Coincidentally, Mr. Walters has already taken a keen interest in Raine.

Justice may go out of her way to behave nothing like her father, but that doesn't change the fact she was born the most powerful girl in the world and can't help but be perfect in almost every way.  Raine has had to work hard to be what she's become.  Despite having a dipshit for a father, Justice has had it pretty easy.  Raine... has not.

The Walters Files: William Tell

He's only been a sight gag thus far, but I'm sure I'll find some clever things to do with him eventually.  Or I won't.

There are two electives available to the freshman (and only) class of Super U., and Tell teaches one of them.  There aren't many students interested in learning archery,so Tell's nearly useless as a faculty member.

Obviously he's the Green Arrow of the Super U-niverse, but he's the Hawkeye, too, so I tried to have his outfit reflect both of them.

Jason racked his brain to come up with original origins for the faculty, and it was he who decided that, "Hey, why can't William Tell actually just be William Tell?"  I was fine with that, and hence we have the Archery and Marksmanship teacher.

Super U. Strip #56: Staff Infection

Staff Infection

Doing a little better this week.  Got out this weekend to Bok Tower, which is about an hour from my apartment.  And my wife ran across this incredible thing that we are planning to make a whole weekend out of during their "Hatsume Fair," which I gather is some sort of spring festival.  We had no idea such a place existed in Florida, let alone only a few hours from here.  Knowing there are things like this outside of Tourist Hell, Florida is helping me to come to terms with the reality that I may be living here for the next third of a century or so.   It's nice to have something to look forward to.

A short strip this week.  I had some ideas where I would introduce Dean Clobber, Disciplinary Head, in the third panel, and I wanted to give him a ridiculous "It's Clobberin' Time!"-esque catchphrase, but I drew a blank.  But, nevertheless, I like how it came out.

I think once I hit the end of Chapter One on the "official site" I'm going to ditch Interrupted Reality.  It looked promising at first, but it has yet to bear fruit.  I still plan on, after the end of Chapter Two here in another 23 strips or so, taking another hiatus to YouTube-ify the Chapter, with the goal of 2 movies a week, I think.  Maybe I'll spread them out to trick myself into thinking the sites are getting more attention than they truly are.

Anyhoo, please help to spread the Super U. love.  "Like" and / or "+1" this page with those little buttons over there, and "Like" and "Share" the links on your preferred social media sites.  Doing so will result in your gaining my utmost admiration.

Ambiguity Aversion

Not much to report today.  I'm sick as a dog, and so is apparently everyone else.  It's one of those ridiculous sinus things where you feel like you're on medication all day long, when in fact you haven't taken any.


If there's anyone out there who decided not to play Dragon Age 2, I recommend you give it a shot.  Yeah, I know I'm like a year behind on this one, but the game was 20 bucks.  I still prefer the first one, if anything but for the vastly different intros alone, but initially I didn't want to play part 2 because the demo made it feel like a button-masher.  But it turns out that you can actually turn the button-mashing off in the options menu, and then play it pretty much just like the first one.
The biggest problem I have with part 2 is that they've taken a great character from the DLC from the first one, the mage Anders, who was very amusing, and made him not amusing any more.  
I've already beaten it once, and during my playthrough I managed to not recruit one person entirely, let alone even meet him (Fenris), and then by the end I lost two more party members due to conflicts of personality.  One guy was like, "Yay, murder!" and I was like, "No.  You should leave."  And then another guy was like, "You're letting him leave?  Screw that.  I'm leaving!"  But whatever.  I didn't need those jerks anyway, and I'm looking forward, on my second playthrough, to morally conflicting with different teammates entirely.


Also, the Muppets DLC in Little Big Planet 2 is awesome.  'Nuff said.
