More naive depictions of sexuality.

More of Shad trying to justify his homophobia and racism.

Haha, Powerup is still getting a thousand views a day, and is still the #7 strip-format comic on Drunkduck.

less than one of those views is my fault - I just haven't had the heart to delete the bookmark, and when I read webcomics I open all my bookmarks at once so

yeah same here

anyway i was thinking this would just be flogging a dead horse but if it's an unwinder-baron team-up i can get behind that

Okay so I was thinking about how the PUC creators are part of the Tall Comics universe and, well...

fake fans are better than fake detractors. the fun of it is in finding real detractors, yo

what if we uh did a new comic like the fantasy one?
i guess it might be more trouble than it's worth, but at least everyone won't know it's intentionally terrible

I'd be cool with that.

i think we probably exhausted the three-panel gamer comic last time. there's not a lot more we can do to keep parodying that. and the new art is pushing in just

a very different

very interesting direction

i say we move the focus of the parody from CAD, etc, to Questionable Content and its ilk

we can keep the gaming elements, obviously, but i'd like to see a more angsty, grown-up, relationships-driven powerup comics

it's the best way of exploring shad as author, it'll give us fresh material, and we can play up his total ignorance of sex and girls even more

i'd say the hiatus is because shadow and chug started community college

chug took some art classes and draws... "better" now, i guess

it moves towards QC and the like not because the two are any less gamers so much as because they now feel like they are in any sort of social situation, ie, going to shitty parties

which in reality they rarely if ever are

haha what if we also blame the hiatus on chug not wanting to participate anymore

and shadow replaces him completely with a new artist as his best friend
while chug is demoted to a second dorkwinkle

also i realize i've been making a lot of suggestions in this thread sorry

i guess this comic could still be entertaining without fooling anyone (not to say it wouldn't be rad)
anyway tyler's thoughts on making it less videogames centered are a great idea

lazers meant to say this: chug got mad at shadow because unwinder made fun of them in tall comics

that's never canon in this, but it is in utc

Joined: 12 Oct 2005 Posts: 5693

chug is starting college, his parents are paying tuition

shadow is living at home pretending the future will go away

this final, glorious summer

powerup will live again

man i am actually really excited about this now :]]

shadow considers himself an indie game developer

this constitutes making youtube videos that are just him messing around with garry's mod

I hate garry

Hm, you know, seeing the comic over here on this forum is one thing, but in context over there with all the comments it's actually quite terrifying...
