Hey folks.
So much to say, so little time. Comic is up. Enjoy it.
IN OTHER NEWS:
School is trying very hard to kill me. I'm up to 4 major projects a week, 5 including the comic which I am quickly becoming serious about again. As soon as it's done, I'll upload a picture of my Kioko sculpture.
My Birthday was pretty lame. Thanks very much to everyone on the Tagboard who extended good Birthday wishes. They all cheered me up quite a bit. Got a few good presents, mom got me "I Am America (And So Can You)" by Stephen Colbert. Now that I have read it, I am obligated to tell you to buy a copy through The Colbert Nation.
They also provided me with cake and a nice dinner. A few of my friends from back home got me Beautiful Katamari for the 360 which then proceeded to die again. Fortunately I was able to enjoy most of the game first.
As I predicted however, some of my friends who shall remain nameless didn't even bother to call me. Ordinarily, I wouldn't let that bother me, but now that I am 400 miles from my friends, that sort of thing is important to me. Oh well, I suppose I know where I stand with them.
Lone sent me some awesome fan art which is about to go up in the Fan Art section.
That's All. Till next week.
"And I'll bother just helping you out whenever I can.
Cause everybody's FREEEEE to feel good!"

N.U.S. Special Report, October 30, 2007
Hey folks.
I felt I had to say something, as Saturday, Sunday, and Monday went without a new update.
I don't like it when the comic doesn't update. I probably dislike it more than anyone else. Really. I'm not going to make any excuses, and even if I did the comic STILL didn't get up. All I can say is this. I'm currently working very hard to make Newscast as good as it can be. Every comic is an experiment, tinkering with the look of the characters, shading, backgrounds, layouts...it's a trial cause I'm still not that great at it. One of the reasons I went back to school -besides trying to make myself a better artist was to break this bad procrastination/laziness habit which has hindered me for years. So please bear with me, together, we'll get through this.
On a side note, I'm not fishing for sympathy here, just trying to establish some context.
The comic will be done by tommorow evening. I can say this assuredly since it's already being colored and I have class Wednesday. It WILL be up Saturday. And if I may say so, it's a good one.
"No, that car isn't angry. That car is PISSED!"

'Ello folks.
Ayame here, welcoming you back to Newscast with an update. The comic, okay. Turned out well, lots of last-second rewrites and all. Still, I think its alright. The BG in panel 4 is one of my favorite to date. I might be getting the hang of this comic thing.
IN RELATED NEWS:
So, as many of you are already aware, I have moved again. That's right, my greatness was TOO much for Salt Lake City, so I have broken my earthly bounds and moved to....Las Vegas. Why? Well, it wasn't my first choice, believe me, but there's a good school here and I am ready to move on with my life. I was sick of working for minimum wage at GameCrazy -don't get me wrong, I miss the store, and my co-workers, but lets be honest here...I couldn't let myself end up there forever. I'm an artist. And no ammount of my own mediocrity will dissuade me.
So I'm living in an apartment with 3 guys...kinda good, kinda not-so-good. They're all pretty cool, share many of my intrests, and leave me alone when I want to be all quiet and moody, but on the other hand...I AM LIVING WITH THREE STRANGE MEN. Bathing, dressing, etc are awkward for me, and many doors are locked during these exercises.
Also, something smells like rotten fruit.
Once again I find myself utterly alone. I don't make friends very easily, and I am fairly certain that my classmates are trying to avoid being near me. I wouldn't have thought so, but I find myself with a 6-person buffer zone in all my classes...Oh well. More time to merge with my DS and Phantom Hourglass.
Also, I finally broke down and bought Halo (the FIRST one) the other day. I'm going to see if it's really as "OH MY GOD IT'S THE GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME IT'S SO ORIGINAL AND SUCH A GREAT STORY AND SO UNIQUE AND SO PERFECT OMFG LOL ROXXOR!!!!11one11!1" as everyone says it is. My money is on 'no' because I'm not an idiot.
Still waiting for my Xbox 360 to come back to me.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Supposing I have some time next week, I am taking down the Newscast Store. I am doing this because first of all, it's presumptuous to have merch for a comic that is read by MAYBE 16 people. Secondly, the stuff that I was offering was good-quality screen printed stuff, not those cheap iron-ons. I have one of the first 'Gotta Fly' shirts. I wear it often, and I have washed it LOTS. It's still in great shape...anywho, the company that used to make them for me realized that they shouldn't have been doing my stuff at such insanely low prices, and as a result, they began charging an arm and a leg.
So yeah, sadness.
I'm also trying to fix the images on the RP page, in case any of you have been keeping up with it. There's also some general site maintenence I've been meaning to do, and if I get my homework down enough in advance, it might just happen.
So yeah, sorry for the long post, but it's been a hectic time. Enjoy the comic and I'll see YOU on Saturday. Well, I mean, I technically won't, but if you come back here you'll find a new comic which was the implication of that statement and...look, just....yeah.
Oh, by the way, 1408 is disappointing.

Hey all.
Well, after a long absence I am back. But for how long? Hopefully for a good, long while. Not too much to touch on with this comic, except the punchline. I hope it makes sense, I mean...it does to me, but then again I talk to myself a lot.
So AnimeBanzai has come and gone for another year. I didn't even get to go because my store hosts some of the gaming tournaments there, and I was the one who got stuck watching the fort while the others (including the new meat) got to go enjoy themselves at the tourney. They claim it was hard, but I bet it was better than what I was doing. On a positive note, they reused some of my badge designs from last year, so I got to run another ad. Hopefully it pays off, if not, they still used my work.
I bet you're wondering where I was that whole time when I didn't update. Well, the story is this:
Firstly, Endzone kicked my butt. Doing 9 comic pages in two weeks nearly killed me. Afterwords, I hit a bit of trouble where panel one was concerned. I knew what I wanted to show, but not the best way to show it (my struggle there lasted until two days ago, actually). Between that, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out, and well, obviously I was needed there. Went to a midnight launch that blew, except for the book-getting part. Finished the book _twice_ before most people I knew who were working on it finished it once. /bragging. Then, came BioShock. Game of the Year material, BioShock has a story that will not let you go, assuming you take the time to piece it together. Yes, that game dominated my life before it even came out. Every snippet of news was like finding an oasis in the Gobi, and truthfully, I was glad to get it, just so I could finally get it behind me.
Am I a slacker? Yes. But with my move less than a month away, my job winding to a close, The Real Ghostbusters Season 2 on my hard drive, and a renewed sense of purpose, I bring Newscast back to life once again.
"Now, would you kindly go get stepped on by a Big Daddy? I SAID WOULD YOU KINDLY GO GET STEPPED ON BY A BIG DADDY?!"

Hey everyone, it's 7.7.07 Or as I like to look at it: 7.7.007
Yes, it's James Bond day. The sexiest, suavviest, martini-drinkinist day of them all. And if you DON'T get in a high-speed chase through a the streets of Munich in an old Soviet tank today, then obviously you are a terrible person. I've already been through two today, AND a helicopter explosion.
Onto the comic, well believe it or not, AutoKeen worked today, after a fashon. The comic went up MOMENTS after I posted it on my deviant page. Oh well. At least it's up SOMEWHERE.
For those of you not in the know, Nienna has found her way -or found her way long ago, if you're following the timeline- into The Endzone Tournament hosted by this fellow. Basically, Nienna is gonna be blasting her way through opponents towards a goal only vaugely understood by me, but she likes fighting so I'm not going to stop her.
I bring this up because the comic has had a severe shortage of her lately, and for those of you who want a little more Nienna in your lives, you can see her in full action. Also, it would be great to have the support cause as a 'Wild Card' entry, I feel a little out-of-place.
IN OTHER NEWS:
PS3's dropping in price? Looks like it. Most retail stores confirm PS3's dropping to $500. And I don't really know how to feel about it. Obviously, I think the PS3 has coolness potential, but I want Sony to stew in their own juices just a LITTLE longer. Just to get revenge for all the BS they've put us through the last four years.

Comic will be up whenever AutoKeen feels like it. I'd complain, but that won't help anything. If you want to see the comic immediately, you can check out this: OC ENDZONE FILLER COMIC.
See, Tay talked me into this project and I was very into the idea. Believe me, I tried to do both, but at 5:30 a.m. I just had to call it quits. To make up for it, there'll be a comic on Tuesday.
Why does all the bad stuff have to happen at once?
So as of 1:19 a.m. Mountain time, I am officially not selected for Endzone. Too bad, I suck. Yay!

Hey
Sometimes...just SOMETIMES when I say I am going to do something I acually pull my head out of my butt and do it. This is one of those times. It would have been done this morning, but like I said, I got called in to work for a surprise 10-hour shift and since I get paid for that and not for this...
So enjoy. Comic on Saturday -though, I hesitate to use the phrase 'as usual' at this point.
NEWS IN A MINUTE:
#1. The 8 Movies to Die For series is totally awesome. I saw my first one last night and I am checking out the others tommorow.
#2. Games drought is FINALLY over. Floodgates are open for all systems. The Darkness, Pokemon Battle Revolution, The Bigs, Transformers and more are all now in stores and soon my game, BioShock. SQUEEEEE!
#3. I am aware that most of the games I listed are lame, but regardless, they DID all come out on the same day. Tommorow sees even MORE games. How exciting!

Well, the comic is done and all uploaded but unfortunately, ComicGen won't let me access the admin part of my page so I can't manually update it. You'll just have to wait till AutoKeen kicks in I guess. I'll keep trying until work at any rate.
News? Not much. There might be a guest comic next week cause I'll be out of town starting Wednesday. I'll probably get the comic up cause it's already written, but I am nothing if not a total procrastinator.
Aside from that there's really not much to report. However, I'd check out The Smash Bros. Dojo if I were you cause there's some cool tidbitz about a certain upcoming Wii game which should kick a Metric TON of ass.
P.S. Hope you've enjoyed the fight scene, cause it's almost over. Do you realize that if you'd read this in a book it would've been only a few pages. It just SEEMS like it's gone on forever.
Oh, and thanks to everyone who's voted so far for the newsbox.

Here's the skinny. I want you to vote (ONCE) for your favorite by commenting on this post. That's right, I'm not even going to make you go to the forums (though you should, cause they're awesome). So check them out and vote for your fav. BTW, I'm not telling you which one is already in use.
This is #1: This is #2:

Hello everyone.
Well, I did it. It almost killed me but as of 11:59 the comic is officially uploaded. As to when it actually hits the site...well, that's out of my hands but it should be up soon enough. Anyway not a lot to say about this one, other than I hate the layout but it's kind of nessescary for the news reports so until I figure out something I like better, these are here to stay. They do have a somewhat unique charm to them.
By the by, I'm changing the update schedule to just Saturdays for now. I know, I know, it sucks. But until I can really jump back into a routine, I feel it's the right way to go. So stay tuned for more consistency!
IN OTHER NEWS:
Pirates of the Caribbean : At Worlds End came out the other day. Caught a 8:00 show on the 24th with my sister who dressed up for the show. I helped her make her costume which I am gonna post here if she'll let me...where was I? Oh yes. The movie was AWESOME! I still like the first one best, but it was worth seeing and I'll be seeing it as much as possible.
Well, that's all the news that's fit to rake. I need a new mouse! YAY! So until next Saturday...
"Hang on! Nobody move....I've dropped my brain."

Just have time for a quick one tonight. New comic is up. It almost killed me to get it done, but here it is. Enjoy it. I hope it makes sense, I think it does.
Um...there's not really anything else for this week. Have a good one.

Hey all,
Really quick, here's an update. Not what you wanted? Me either. I mean, I like this one a lot (thank you, Stuart Packrel) but I would have preffered to finish the page I was working on. Sadly, I got a little carried away with the first panel. You'll see what I mean on Saturday.
Anyway, it's funny and you shall enjoy it. In the meanwhile, watch out for something in the gallery which I am calling: Nienna the Killer atm.
P.S. Bruce Campbell is without question the hottest man alive.
"And don't bother resetting and trying over and over again to get an 'A'. Cause it can't happen."

EDIT: This post has been modified from it's original angst-filled context to relieve you -the readers- from developing muscle-strain from rolling your eyes. -The Management
Hello once again,
No comic today. I just didn't have time to get one together what with all the nothing I have been accused of doing lately.
Incidentally, I am working on two new desktop backgrounds that might soon be avaliable. I was thinking of making them incentive for voting on TWC or something, but I honestly don't think that 7 votes would change the ranking much, not to mention that...hey! I just got an idea. he he he he he.
IN REAL NEWS:
I am preparing to close the Newscast Store perhaps indefinately. There are several reasons; the primary being that the place that used to do my screen-printing has apparently come into new management: Satan himself. Ergo, the rock-bottom prices I was paying before have now almost quadrupled. The remaining stock that I currently posess can still be purchased if you want it, but when those are gone that's all she wrote.
So yeah, that's about it. Comic on Tuesday if all goes well, Wednesday if not. But it's already pretty much ready to be drawn so keep your ocular receptors glued to your computer monitors cause slowly, but surely I am getting the story moving again.
P.S. For those of you wondering; no. I am neither going to be charging for the bg's or asking for donations (which I guess is technically the same thing, but I don't want to create any undo confusion).
"Eye on the sammich! Mitchell! Heart poundin'. Mitchell! Veins cloggin'. Mitchell!"

'Ello
Updation. And they said it couldn't be done. HA! So now we see Sparkey do something amazing. All I can say is: don't get used to it. But hark! What did he do? How does Cade think the small canine can defeat the giant evil pastry? When will the next update happen? Only time will tell.
So...that's really about it for now. I was gonna post those pics of the bar...but I am kinda feelin lazy right now. Also, the forums are working once more. Go use them this time.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Pokemon goes well, even though I haven't had much time to play it. Seems like the only thing I am good for is reseting my game so everyone else can have all the starters then when I want them, they're all like: "Sorry, but I don't have time to do that right now."
Armored Core 4 on the PS3 and the Xbox360 totally rocks. I want it! I want it! I want it!
Also: Venture Bros Season 2 is out on DVD. If you don't have it yet, give in to your consumerist nature and go buy the *!#$ thing now!
"And I am your mother. A 12-foot bean burrito."

That which has been promised, is delivered.
Lastly...I did something I promised myself I'd never do again. I bought a Pokemon game. Pokemon Pearl for the Nintendo DS specifically. So far, I'm really enjoying it, but I'm not sure how much into the breeding and stuff I'll get. All I can say is that if I can port my Mew on over to it, it'll be worth it.
Yeah, it took a bit longer than I had anticipated but it's done. Now I'm off to work on Saturday's installment, I mean...not right this second...but soon. Hope you guys are liking the comic. I still like it, but....
News...um...not much really. As you have probably already noticed, I updated the Fan Art page and would like to extend an apology to one G.L. Gillen author of SQUID NINJA. Why? Because he gave me this awesome fan art awhile back (when I hit #100) and I have only just added it to the page. I would also like to extend a special thank-you to Stuart Packrell who has given me the most awesome guest-comic that I have as of yet been unable to run.
As a note: I love to get guest comics and feel a deep regret that I am unable to use them all. I know I haven't updated much historically, but I feel if I only add filler then I won't even TRY to update on my own. However, I'm thinking of adding a special page to the fan-art section where you can just see them all at once.
Oh yeah, and the forums are down. Not that anyone here really uses it. But it'll hopefully be back up soon.
Two other items of note: I was going to post photos of my room and the bar that was finished being rennovated recently, but Photobucket has apparently been taken over by a conglomorate or something cause now my pics are taking forever to load. You'll have to wait until Saturday...for the bar pictures. This, however, is my room.

Heya folks.
There's no update for today for two reasons. The first is that I spent the weekend being a ZOMBIE in a TV pilot: "The Rising". That took up quite a bit of time...like a full day which otherwise would have been spent in the pursuit of comic nirvana. Please keep checking up on this show cause if it gets picked up, that would be like totally awesome.
The other reason is that I updated again...in a big way. Not only did I get a new comic up, there is a new picture in the gallery (which I love VERY MUCH) that the wallpaper gift is based off of. I wanted everyone to see that I had updated before I get rolling again.
Also, I'm updating the CAST page, the LINKS page, and the FAN ART page. Those should be done by this weekend with the possible exception of the LINKS page which I am not sure about changing yet. Also, for those of you wondering, the Wii specific page has been put on hold for now because for some reason it's been interfering with normal updates. Also, thanks to the Wii's new and improved browser, it's not really a necessity anymore.
Well, that's all for now. Check back on Saturday for more Newscast funnery.

Hey...
I'm really tired tonight so this'll be quick. New comic is up. Hope you enjoy it. Uh, there's also a wallpaper gift based on this. Check it out, comment, etc. You can thank Tay for the wallpaper cause he's the one who asked for it.
Coming soon: New cast page, updated fan-art, new links page.

Hey folks.
It's been a strange few weeks for me. The updation, the sudden CEASING of updation, and more. This is gonna be a short one today, so lets get right to it.
#1. The reason I stopped updating again.
This is two-fold. First and foremost, I applied for a job (an art-related job) and I wanted to do my best on it. It took two full weeks of work wherein I COULD have updated Newscast, but because I wanted to do my best I decided to abstain. Could I have posted guest-comics? Yes. Should I have? Yes. Why didn't I? I'm freugal with them. I like to have them incase I suddely lose my arm in a swordfight.
By the way, I didn't get the job and apparently my life is a hollow lie.
Also, because I hand-made that summoning-circle for Cade and thanks to my crappy version of Photoshop, it was deleted after 4 hours of work and despite SEVERAL saves.
Since then, work issues such as my boss deciding that I can work alone on the busiest nights of the week, bigwigs coming in from corperate, and things of that nature as well as issues partaining to my _erm_ ex-boyfriend have been keeping me from my duties.
HOWEVER:
I'm back now. This update was provided by Robin Armstorng and the good folks at Protean Comics. Personally, I find them hilarious. And it's lucky that I do because I have many.
Now then, what about the future? Well, since I opted for an update AT ALL today, you should feel relieved. If I am updating _even with a guest comic_ that means that my mind is back on Newscast and the updations are soon to follow. To be honest, I just haven't had the time to really buckle-down. But I am making time.
ANYWAY, this has gone on much too long. Keep your eyes peeled here and at Taymation Studios because I am also working on some new projects and some old projects that you might find interesting.
P.S. Got Darkwing Duck season 1, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Movie, and The Shining the other day. All classic, all the time. That's how I roll.

Hey,
As I promised (if not a little late) another update. Hu-zzah and good merriment to all. Yeah, that was a little...erm... but as you can see, this one was a little more graphic-heavy and not so much on the dialouge. Believe it(!) or not, this is the streamlined version of what it was supposed to be originally. Thing is, I wanted to get it across the first time so if you see it again I don't have to do all the in-betweens, but I wanted to keep the pace up too. *sigh* if this were in print, it wouldn't matter cause you could just turn the page. Ah well.
To all those who might be wondering; yes, I did make Cade's summoning circle myself.
Good news for Wii-owners. Besides the fact that you have one cool gaming machine, the beta version of the Newscast page is up. I haven't posted an official link yet cause it's in beta still and the only real improvement is that it's a single column now so you don't have to scroll. Anyway, if you want you can view it on your Wii here: http://newscast.comicgenesis.com/wii.htm
I would like to take a moment, to extend a very special thanks to a certain fan of mine. He's sent me numerous fan works and because I was shunning the comic, I never got around to saying thank you. So here goes.
Robin, thank you for all the fan-strips. I have spent many hours reading and re-reading your comics and they remain funny. Heh, just like Fighter-Chick Cam's. They crack me up too....er, but I digress. Anyway, thank you very much. I look forward to my bout with Ebola so I can use them. :)
In the coming days, I will be posting a much more expansive thank-you list to people who deserve it.
IN OTHER NEWS:
So I just finished Hotel Dusk on the Nintendo DS and I have to say...AWESOME! I hate to say this, but it's almost a shame to fall back onto Phoenix Wright: Justice For All after such a great gameplay experience. Well, I'm sure I'll be back into the good ol defense attorney as soon as I turn it back on. Ah Phoenix. I could NEVER stay mad at you.
Also: Wii Play. Meh.
Work on my bar goes well. I found out what was wrong with the camera so once I get a new cable, I'll be posting many many pics. I still owe you for Pyramid Head after all.
Well, that's all the news that's fit to rake. Until next time, Newscastians.

Gweetins folks,
I'm gonna be quick today cause I am a little out of practice at this. First off, new comic. Yay! It's not shaded because I started having problems with my tablet and if I pushed it back again who KNOWS when it would have been posted? So yeah, hopefully this marks the end of my haitus. Tell your friends, Newscast is back baby!
Coming soon: Newscast: Wii Version. I said I was gonna do this back when I found out the Wii would be able to surf the net. Well, normal NC works okay on the Wii, but I am gonna streamline it for you. Why? Cause I like the Wii and any excuse I have to integrate it into your life makes me happy.
Also, for comic number 100 I got some cool fan art and some guest comics that I have not used or posted yet. I am gonna be tweaking the picture archive and then posting those so keep your eyes open.
Lastly, I realize that that break from updates may have been annoying. I can't begin to tell you how much I missed updating the comic. Either way, I hope you keep reading because I will keep making comics.
"Maybe I didn't exactly say every syllable, but basically I did, yeah."
