Sorry about the recent lack of updates. I’ve been sick all week. I’ll have some new shit up soon, hopefully Saturday afternoon. If it’s not up by then, I’m afraid you won’t see anything until Monday. I’m going to a Motley Crue concert on Saturday night and I’ll be recovering on Sunday. In any case, I’m going to work twice as hard next week to make up for all the slacking that occurred this week.
Yeah… so I added an About page. It can be found in the links section to the right.
The first ever SydLexia.com Mailbag is up. Enjoy.
Hunter S. Thompson killed himself two days ago, which sucks pretty hard. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is one of my all-time favorite books. The weird thing is, I wrote an e-mail to Mr. Thompson a few days before he died. I hope it didn’t have anything to do with his suicide. Catholic guilt is turning me inside out.
Today is my birthday, so here’s a new article.
Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s drinking time.
According to Alexa, SydLexia.com is currently the 3,887,918th most popular site on the web, which makes me roughly half as popular as Satanism101.com. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.
If you’re looking for new content, there’s always Saturday’s Streets of Rage review.
For the second part of the NES drinking saga, click here. As it turns out, the sidebar makes it very inconvenient to post the pics directly in the blog. Sorry.
I named this post “SYDLEXIA.COM IS NOT A WEBCOMIC” and that title doesn’t lie. This is mainly due to the fact that I have no artistic talent whatsoever. Still, that won’t stop me from bringing you the NES Drinking Saga, which I will continue to do until I get bored with it or until it becomes less funny than The Wizard of Id. I’m usually fairly easily amused and The Wizard of Id is very banal, so this could keep going for a long time. Garfield is also a huge source of inspiration for me. Expect me to give up after a couple years and start recycling the same five jokes about stealing food, Mondays, spiders, kicking dogs, and sleeping.
There will be no search engine report this week, because the results aren’t even remotely interesting. Entertain yourself with the recent Street Fighter article instead. Here’s an animated GIF of Geki to get you in the mood:
Fuck. There’s like two feet of snow on the ground here and fuck if I’m gonna shovel it.
Also, a Motley Crue article went up on the main page like a day or two ago if you’re interested. And you damn well better be.
As a visitor to my site, there is very little chance that you will ever get an Error 500 message. But if you ever did, this is what you would probably see unless the fuck-up was really, really bad:
Persons attempting to link to images on this site will instead get this image. You are free to download my images and rehost them elsewhere, but no direct linking. Sorry guys. The goods news is that this will not include blog pics.
I was proofreading my Salute Your Shorts article and there were some pretty fucking horrible typos. There were sentences there weren’t even entirely Anyway, it is fixed now. As an apology, here’s the show’s opening credits and theme. Enjoy.
So this week’s article didn’t go up til Friday. Sorry about that. What can I say? Things don’t always work out the way I want. Random shit happened in my personal life this week, such as having to attend a wake and a funeral, so that kinda screwed up my schedule.
There was apparently a problem with the Time Killers article where the pictures weren’t loading correctly in some browsers. I guess that’s what happens when I code half of it in Microsoft Word. Damn, that was a bad idea. Anyway, it is fixed.
However, I should warn those of you using Firefox that the pictures in all of the video game articles should have alternate text when you mouse over them. Mozilla doesn’t seem to do this, at least not in my experience.
By process of elimination, this week’s article will go up this evening. Sorry for the delays. I’ll try to have next week’s article up a lot quicker…. I just need to figure out what it is.
In recent weeks, there’s been a proliferation of annoying commercials trying to get people to buy custom ringtones. What the fuck? These companies must be selling this shit to someone. If you’re one of those people who just *has* to have a ringtone that says “Yeaaaaah boooooooy! Pick up the phone!” then I have an exciting deal for you. If you can find your way to SydLexia.com headquarters, I will stab you in your fucking face free of charge. Choose from one of three amazing knives: pocket knife, switchblade, or carving knife. You will have to sign a legal waiver, of course.
I have an offer for the rest of you too. If you bring a high-ranking executive from one of these ringtone companies to my lair, I will give you $5 and an official SydLexia.com 2×4. You must bring proof that the person does indeed work for one of these ringtone companies and you MUST keep that fucking idiot both alive and unharmed.
I’m just fucking with ya. Go ahead and get fucking ripshit and piss on your neighbor’s cat. If you don’t end up in an emergency room or a jail cell tonight, you’re a fucking pussy.
A new article went up late last night. Read it. Or don’t. I really don’t care.
