The Good and the Bad

Fenghar and I have not been on Slatfatf in a long long while.  Fenghar has been busy playing with his invisible Pygmy Goats, while I have been busy playing with myself.  Anyways, the blog that you all know as SLATFATF is, unfortunately, Dead.  That’s the bad news.  The good news is that Fenghar and Astrozombie, after much deliberation, have come to the conclusion that a new website shall be made.

In accordance with our obsession with acronyms that don’t make sense, we have created FERATL.  Pronounced Fair-ought-ull, this site will hold all of our dreams and hopes.  And if it fails, we’ll go crawl under a rock and die.  Since we have this sort of fanbase thing going, a few of you should go to feratl.  Not all.  It’s a bit too high class and exclusive for most of the commoners that visit here.

Feratl will feature podcasts, videos, writings, poetries, comics, a FORUM, and a bunch of other community driven projects.  Feratl is all about moving Slatfatf out of the blog world and into the cutting-edge.  Currently, the site is under construction, but you can still go and be a total dick and annoy the hell out of us while we work.

In case you are wondering, FERATL stands for Finding EveRy Alternative To Living.

In case you used to wonder, SLATFATF stood for So Long And Thanks For All The Fish

See you there.

Fallout Mods worth downloading

So, who here owns the smash hit game Fallout 3?  Everyone? Oh.  Well then.  Here are a few mods I’ve checked out that are well worth the space and greatly add to the overall game.

1.  Unofficial Fallout 3 patch

This patch fixes practically everything the OFFICIAL mods break.  It’s a great addition, and required for even playing the game.

2.  Global Travel system

This adds a massive amount of content to the game, allowing you to travel literally everywhere in the world.  Amsterdam, Australia, India.  You name it, you can go there.

3.  GNR – More where that came from

This mod adds about 100 songs to the Galaxy News Radio, all of which are amazingly similar to the ingame music.  It also tweaks a few things on the radio itself

4.  Marts Mutants

This mod gives the player an enormous amount of new enemies to face, all of which have unique new textures and models.  A definite must have.

Patrician 3

Patrician 3…  Oh how I hate thee. Patrician 3 is a game for the computer that makes sim city and other market simulators look like lemonade stands. Patrician 3 deals with selling and buying goods and stockpiling and fighting and building walls and shipping things and hiring and firing and taverns and germans and the ocean. That’s what it’s about.
I’m going to go attempt to learn how to play it. If you are interested, it’s on http://www.gog.com for $5.99, so yeah. Comes with the soundtrack.

Stressing Myself

For the past few months, I’ve been busy with college stuff. Hey wait, don’t skip this post yet. It’s not another “reasons we haven’t been updating” post. In fact, we are done with those posts, and I promise on my father’s grave (The one that I plan to bury him in once I kill him for all the horrible pain he’s put me through, THE UNEMOTIONAL HORRIDNESS CAUSED BY HIS LACK OF RESPECT AND THE SEXUAL INHIBTIONS FURTHER CREATED BY HIS INSECURITIES OF….

ahem…. woops), that we will never ever make another post with reasons why we aren’t updating. Because we are updating from now on.

God damn I haven’t written in this format for so long. Feels nice to get the ol’ fingers moving on the shitty blogspot formatting screen with horrible column length and all. Let me get back to the purpose of this post, which if you take out all of that father stuff, is quite serious. I’ve been looking at tons of college stuff, and working on that. My main thing is to just keep getting higher scores on more and more standardized tests. I’ve achieved some really really great scores, but I’m still not satisfied. In fact, I won’t be until I get at least a top 1% score on the ACT. So I picked up one of those handy dandy ACT prep books. My girlfriend hit me when she found out. She says I’m getting overly stressed about things that I don’t need to be worried about. The college I’m primarily intending to go to will gladly accept a student with my credentials, but still.

Do you ever have that? A sort of drive to do better, even whenever it doesn’t matter? Maybe I put too much value on my own pride. I care too much about opinions of others. For instance, I’m a compulsive liar. This entire paper has been a lie, I, in fact, have done none of the above. Guess what? That was another lie. I have done all of what I just described. I mean I’ve lied about lots of things. Things that don’t matter. That’s my next post. Hope you enjoyed reading about nothing and getting nothing out of it.

Cry me a River

I recently pondered whether we should shut down this site or allow it to take a gasp of air, attempt to let it live, perhaps even thrive. At first I thought of all the reasons to shut the site down, which I shall now list in order that you may form your own opinion on this matter of closure:

1. We don’t put quite so much effort into the site
2. We have very little community involvement. In fact, I can only think of 3 people that regularly comment.
3. We don’t update as regularly
4. the site would be one less thing to do in the afternoons.

Considering all these facts, one would easily come to the conclusion that SLATFATF is undeserving of it’s domain, and should be closed.

And then I thought of all the positive things that have happened because of our involvement in slatfatf:

1. The creative writings that we have done are funnier than I could have imagined
2. The comics that have been drawn/written are amazing
3. the podcasts have been so much fun, and stimulating
4. having our friends tell us that we had a funny post or something is rewarding
5. we have quite a few viewers, even though we don’t get many comments
6. the poems have been great
7. working with Fenghar on anything is entertaining
8. coming up with new ideas is super stimulating to the creative lobe

After I wrote this list, I knew the answer to my question. We don’t want to keep running slatfat. We need to keep running slatfat. WE NEED to keep running it because if we close it down, we will be losing our escape. Our little fortress of solitude. We need a place to post our nonsensical ramblings, a place to drop off our friday night recordings, a place for our drawings that are so creepy they don’t deserve to be on the internet, but they are. Fenghar, we need this cove, this harbor, of chaos. I can’t imagine a Friday night where we aren’t recording some bullshit, talking about something to do with Slatfatf, drawing those crazy pics. Talking about india. Watching movies.

Fenghar, if we lose our safe haven of insanity, I really believe a huge part of our creativity will go unserved. This is why it is dire that we keep this site running.

I’m not giving up on slatfatf, and neither are you. If you do indeed never return to slatfatf, never draw a hilarious comic again, never record another podcast, never write a poem, never link a fun video, and never write non sequitor stories, then I will beat the shit out of you.

No fucking joke.

I’ll kick your fucking freshly perfect teeth in.

Indefinite Hiatus

I think I’m done with this…

I like doing webcomics and updating a site, but I don’t feel I’m doing anything that’s worthwhile for me or viewers, so I’m just gonna quit while I’m behind.
I could whine about this or that, but that would just be more and more excuses. Basically, I’m tired and lazy and irresponsible.

Yep.

So I guess I’ll leave this up for Astrozombie and the three other people that visit the site so you can yell at me or look through the meager and stupid archives of our nonsense. I’ll hopefully resurface elsewhere on the net with a new domain name and a well-stocked archive of goodies, but I doubt that will even happen.

Well, I’m gonna go and make a feeble attempt at being a hot-shot director. But I’ll probably get lazy and not do that either. Look out for me in the obituaries, cuz that’s probably be the only thing I won’t get lazy at.

Man.

That would make a great comic. A person who gets lazy and doesn’t die because he’s lazy.

Anyways, Right now I’m gonna focus my efforts on slowly building up a collection of pre-drawn comics so if I do get around to another site I’ll have something to buffer myself with. Also, I’ll be working on coaxing some silliness out of my ol’ DV Camera.

In conclusion, its been nice sharing this past year or so with you all in blog and comic and podcast form. Thank you to those few golden souls who felt like dropping a comment or two on our posts and also thank you to those who just visited the site a few times or so and maybe even laughed a post or two. Sorry if I’m letting you down, but a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do-

-Be lazy

For(most likely) the final time on this site,
Peace

I will tell you that I plan to start hosting a

Every Thursday Poetry Slam Night. I’ll still post ‘em up here, but you can listen to how we say our poems and stuff.

And how we cry our manly manly tears.

Peace.
