As co-headhoncho here at Level 99, I get caught up in my work. Also as someone who doesn’t read webcomics in general, doesn’t really care about what other people think is funny, or doesn’t even have a television subscription, I can probably get a bit out of touch. So, fair readers, I had a tender moment and thought about what you might want for a change, at least in terms of the actual comic. Sooo……

Was there something you wanted, but was not included in this poll? You can take it up in the forums. I would really like to know what you guys think.

EDIT: Okay, I screwed up. I tried to declare this forum closed, and for some reason it fudged the numbers. Boobs did, in fact, win this poll with a total of 56 votes.

That’s right, I went there. We here at Level 99 feel that we are only adding to our awesomely classy repertoire of sex, masturbation, and gay jokes you’ll find in our moderately extensive archive. Sometimes, you just have to go back to your childhood roots and make a fart joke, ya’ know? The best part is that it’s based on a true story. >.>

It reminds me of this amusing clip that was banned by the Discovery Channel from being put into an episode of Mythbusters.

Hyuk. I think I totally should do a comic about boogers next. Ha, I said BOOGERS!

This strip pretty much sums up my frustration regarding females and the gaming industry. It seems that girls can’t ever win, despite their ability to do so in actual games. If they look fairly average, they’re labeled as being nerds or fatties, and if they’re good-looking, they’re accused of being sluts who are only doing it for attention. Girls never seem to catch a break in this industry. You might even say that they get THE SHAFT. The only time when females seem to succeed as gamers is when they succumb to being sexualized, and this is probably true for most male-dominated markets.

My point is, is that I’m trying break into an industry doing something I love, but it’s extremely difficult doing so while wanting to keep clothes ON, when all the Stevie Cases and PSP-Lickers out there are seemingly getting their breaks from doing next to nothing. *sigh.*

ANYWAY, enough of this feminist garble. Yes, yes you do detect a hint of nipple. I’m a damn hypocrite.

So yeah, it took longer than I thought it would, but 63 installments in, and we finally get to see Race out of those boring jeans and white hoodie and into something much less comfortable. All for the sake of your enjoyment, you sickos…oh, and for plot development, I guess.

I like to play games online, particularly first person shooters, but I’ve never dabbled in the competitive gaming circuit (although I’ve always wanted to), so I can’t claim to have our current strip to account for real life experiences. I just don’t have the time to practice. I can’t even crank these damn strips out on time! >.< I haven’t had much experience playing these sorts of games with other girls, either, although I’ve lurked in “grrl gamer” forums and I think the main difference between competitive gaming between boys and girls, is that instead of talking a bunch of shit, girls tend to be extremely supportive and adopt that whole “go, sister, go” attitude. That’s why those girls are mudwrestling in the background. They’re supporting each other. ^.~

At any rate, I try to get in as much gaming as I can, and for the past week or so, I’ve been playing nothing but Quake 4. If you wanna come frag with me, my Xfire name is “level99.” I need some Xfire buddies who play similar games as I do…all the people on my list play WoW. Doh.

It’s late. I need to go to bed. Stupid job. YOU! Stop playing WoW so late!

So, taking my social cues from boys, the internet, and (worse enough) boys that hang out all day on the internet, I never quite know what to say around girls. I don’t think it necessarily makes me socially inept. It just kind of prevents girls from seeking my counsel…and inviting me to slumber parties.

That’s okay, though, because all of a sudden, we’re #8 on The Webcomiclist! I don’t quite know how this happened, but it happifies me! =) So once again, thanks to all of you who keep coming back and supporting us! Yay, the internet is working! Seriously, #8 is pretty impressive. *Gives you all a big internet hug.* Keep up the support, and we promise we’ll buy you a big round of internet drinks. =P And Arlo will proceed to touch himself. Hehehe.

~Race

P.S. While we are #8 at webcomiclist.com, we still don’t have any comments or user ratings! Now, I don’t wanna beg or anything because that’s really unattractive, but feel free to go and say awesome things about us and give us five stars. ^.~ Just saying. You know, just throwing it out there.
