DJ's Birthday Wish

DJ turns the big 23 today and the probability of this actually happening is much higher than acceptable.  Anything for his birthday.  There is only one a year after all.  On a side note I do find it interesting that they are doing a re-release of the Justin Bieber movie (which is also available in 3D for those of you that had your fingers crossed) as a directors cut version.  Something like 40 minutes of new footage being swapped out with old footage.  I'm not exactly sure on the details.  I guess it's a good way to keep the Bieb cash train a rollin'.

DJ will also be up in Seattle at the Emerald City Comic Con from March 4th through the 6th selling prints of his work and representing Get Job so be sure to stop by his booth and say hi.  I think we even have a few stickers left to hand out.

Happy Birthday DJ,

Presidents' Day PunchOut

Because we all want it to happen.  The Founding Father vs. the Savior of the Union.  Both total heroes of American history and let's face it, they could probably both throw down in the ring.  When that bell would ring, a fury of physical and verbal strategery would be flying around that four sided cage of excitement.  Best President's Day main event ever.

Happy Presidents Day,

Valentines Dance Dilemma!

At first we were having a hard time coming up with a Valentines Day comic.  Neither of us have any sort of crazy experiences from this holiday to really pull from and we had to put in some serious effort to not make it homoerotic.  Thankfully, after the idea of doing a mid 80's to early 90's movie trailer like those used for good vibe, buddy movies and romantic comedies was brought up it was a clear choice.  And really, I think we'll jump at any opportunity to use these new characters, Zach McFly and the Fresh DJ of Bel-Air.  I can assure you they'll make another appearance.  I don't know when or how long it's will take to think of a reasonable situation for this but it's going to happen.  

Some big news this Monday.  Get Job has partnered up with the website, Awesome Robo!.  It's a great site that will be featuring our comic every Monday as well as several other really great pictures, videos and articles throughout the week.  Be sure to check them out! We are really excited to be featured on such a great site.

Also for those of you who don't know, we've got a sweet Facebook page that we update every Monday to remind you when a new comic is posted. It also keeps you up to date on any other Get Job related news we might have.  You can either go to it here and like us or you can like us from here on the upper left side of the blog!

Happy Valentines Day,

Raising the Stakes

I remember going to my friends house over lunch at school to see this game.  The most common occurrence involved one of us getting about halfway though the level and then getting killed.  Either by some devious monster hiding in a shadowed corner or by another player brought into our level with plans of destruction and making us lose all of our precious collected souls.  Either way frustration set in and the prospect of redoing a bunch of work wasn't appealing.  It's kind of weird that  the frustration and the difficulty of the game played such a big part of why it was so fun and addicting.  I'm curious what kind of horrible punishment they have planned for dying with their sequel coming up.

Have a happy Monday,
-Zach

PIllow Talk

Our late night conversations range from a multitude of subjects from different career paths to ideas about what the universe is up to while we aren't looking but they almost always end with DJ bringing up the fact that I have to get up early and he doesn't.  It's always been this way.  He doesn't like to get up early.  He doesn't like to get up at all really.

As you can see in the comic above we've got a sweet set up with DJ's loft bed and my Murphy bed.  I've never had a bed that comes out of the wall before but I have to say that I'm a fan.  It's a really convenient way to save space and open up an area for whatever activities that one might like to do that requires floor space.  We mostly just sit in chairs.

Have a good week!

Decaffeinated

DJ can't drink most things.  Caffeine makes his heart go crazy.  There was a short period of time where doctors were involved.  It's OK though, he just doesn't like things that adults drink.  But, clearly he does enjoy himself some ninja unicorns.  You'll also notice a not so subtle tribute to the double rainbow.  He's a big fan.  How can you not be?  I was made a big fan again after I watched him discover the video a good three months after everyone else.  It was like watching someone rediscover the fun of a toy you just couldn't remember the reason for wanting in the first place.  He's a champion.

Good morning Monday,

A Sticky Situation

DJ has returned triumphantly from Sacramento.  He had a booth at the Sac Anime convention and was selling prints and giving out free Get Job stickers.  Results of his venture can be witnessed here.  Also, if you're not sure what stickers i'm referring to, that information can be found here.

It was pretty quiet in the apartment while DJ was gone so when he got back, naturally a flood of conversation occurred.  Recently the idea of a leak-causing liquid and the scenarios that could follow such an element were discussed for an extended amount of time.  Don't worry.  I won't go into it, mostly for your sake.

Eventually we got on the talk of game of the year.  It was really great to see a few awards go to smaller games like Minecraft and Limbo.  Games that didn't have millions of dollars poured into them.  Games that had a lot of heart and are designed on really unique, interesting, and most importantly, fun ideas.  That being said, Red Dead Redemption took game of the year with a lot of websites and with us.  All around great game and the best thing we played that came out of 2010.

See you next week!
