Gb's journal, May 10th, 2020.

Never in my wildest dreams would I thought that I'd be of the few left standing on these grounds. The place stinks of a forgotten old hag at the end of her rope in an abandoned asylum. Very, very bad. I remember the good old days when this place's most active sites was our little corner of the world where we could literally do as we damn well pleased. There were no limits because collectively we created a universe where anything could happen.

What happened? Life happened, my friend. We became adults and life kept getting in the way of our little passion for storytelling. It wasn't the french assassins nor the vampires that ran amok the lands causing havoc that destroyed our world. It was school, college, work, marriage. In a nutshell, responsibilities.

These were the true killers of Vine city and the great heroes and villains of our universe.

*Wow. So deep! You almost had me crying there, Eugene. I think I got a wet spot on my mask; and it is entirely your fault. Anyway. Hello, whoever the hell is still living in this site! What a blast from the past this must be for you. Do you have any idea of who I am? No? Well honestly I have no clue who the hell you are either.

You are the one who should know who I am. I was one of the deadliest SOBs in this universe! NPCs were not safe and it was a guaran-Damn-Tee that heads would roll and locations were going to get blown up to heaven and above. KNOW MY NAME YOU LITTLE DWEEBS OR I'M COMING TO GET CHA!!*

Ok, that's enough of you.

What am I doing here you may ask? I don't know. I got a bit nostalgic and decided to check out the old place. See if it was even still running. y writing got a lot better. Still have a few things I need to fix here and there. But it is waaaay better than it was back in the day.

I still write characters for myself and also I do character design sections and stuff. I haven't participated in an RPG in years. But I do think about all the stories we created and the awesome people that I met here.

Fun times.

Anyways. Nice to check in once again. I'm out! Might check in on this post later. Idk. No promises. PEACE!

I rambled a bit but I think its a fair discussion.

I picked up the Immortal Men No.1 and No.2 a few days ago (Late, I know) and I can honestly say that I loved this comicbook.

I like the characters and I thought it was building up to something really good. So, I called my comicbook store wondering if they had No. 3 laying around. It was then when I was slapped in the face with bad news; The lady explains to me that The Immortal Men titles apparently will be cancelled after No.6. She said to me that maybe I should try a different series and not waste my money with that one.

I am just devastated, but I get it. My opinion isn’t the only one that matters. I tell her I still want to read the rest.

After these bad news I am curious about the general public’s opinion. I want to know what went wrong, what did they not like about it. So I go to Youtube and start watching reviews and opinions. Some said they didn’t get the story, (Do you not know how to read?) Some didn’t like that it was a diverse group of people (Ever read X-Men?) and others said they were mad at Jim Lee for not drawing the whole comic so they’re hatting on it in protest.

But out of the collection of these reviews that I watched, and read, the one thing that kept popping up was the following complaint:

The girl is not sexy.

The villainess isn’t sexy.

The girl is too cover up.

The chick isn’t hot. This is a “SJW” book.

Personally I didn’t even know what SJW stood for. Thanks, Google.

That to me makes no sense whatsoever. The woman not showing her boobs in a comic isn’t a deal breaker for me. And it doesn’t makes sense to me why it’s a deal breaker to some people. The woman's breast are not important plot points to this story.

If I want to see a comicbook featuring a fake hot chick in an impractical bikini superhero outfit I would read RedHood and the Outlaws (Starfire) I would get me some Red Sonja or some freaking Jungle Girl, Idk. Id raid whatever book Frank Cho has worked on. Picking a random comic and not liking it because the girl’s knockers are covered up isn’t a good reason to drop a book but Its the reason these people brought up the most!

Do you people really need a pair of sketched, inked, shaded, colored, toned and highlighted boobs in your comics for you to be able to read a comicbook?

A cry baby with a gun and a mask that proves he wants to BE me :P

That's right! I can speak Spanish, Sukaaaaaaaa xD

@aquina: Yeah its because CV kinda feels like its somebody else's house now xD

It feels like John Cena's theme song is playing in the background while I read these new RPGs xD

"Your time is up, our time is now. You cant write with us, our time is now!" xD

I CAN DESTROY YOU ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

....... Ehhh... Sorry old GB came out for a second there :P

@feral_nova: Hiiiii Nova! Nice to see you :D

You didn't say Butt clap! D:

Oh, wait! I must stay on topic before I get yelled at by the new kids :P

Confession: GB back in the day wanted to be in I am Legend but felt like they were the cool kids so instead he would just harass them in their thread :P

I have no clue who any of these people are xD

If there's someone from my time in Comicvine around here scream: Butt clap! :P

Yeah, pretty much xD

His mask looks like he has a mustache xD

Since retirement from the mercenary game Gbandit has been on a strict diet of Pizza, KFC and Wendy's :P

I have not changed my underwear in 3 days... What? :P
