Hey Giddeon, you have to write a rant! right now! the comic's going up today! 0_o... it's almost as if I had a webcomic I'm writing or somethingness... I've never written a rant before, I dunno... ummm... Photoshop coloring takes a long time... it's hard to make clean lines with a pencil... Ben looks like he's floating.

*starts singing Kiseki no Hana* what, huh? rant? what? oh yeah, that rant. Everyone give their most massive amounts of thanks to Eli for setting up this wonderful system for us all to spit out our little sparkling glimmers of webcomic-type smurfy goodness. *flops a few thanks over to the great Eli*.

Anyway, for my first final words of wonder, this is only the beginning. If you stick around, you'll get to see evil dudes, catgirls, battleships, extras that die in one strip, flailing squid *cough*, and... *as Devon stares at him evilly* ...sexy catboys -_-' -- See you later ^_^.

Well, here it is. Gaiderion IV, the web comic! Ph33r! Now, let me explain how things will work around here.

The Info page contains story and characther information. It's fairly empty at the moment, mostly because we don't want to spoil anything for you!

The Omake page is just what it sounds like - extras. Fanart can also be found there. We currently have 1 wallpaper (made by me ^^) and two pieces of fanart done by Veronica.

The Forums and Store pages are just what they sound like. Nothing in the Store yet. Drop by the forums and say hi!

And last, the rants. We have four of them, which is rather apparent. Aside from the four of us, Veronica and Beth may also be ranting from time to time. I'll have more to say about the website next time. If you find problems with it, drop by the forums or contact me.

Remember: to email any of us, click on the chibi picts next to our rants.

Lets all scream in joy. The comic is finally up. For all of the fangirls out there, I will try my best to convince Giddeon to put more sexy catboys and such in the comic, I wish he would draw Yaoi but ya know he is all like “Guys don’t do that” and what not, but I’ll try to get Veronica to draw some more.

All of you should thank Eli for the site, and Giddeon for the actual comic. As you can see we have four rants, crazy no? But yeah this comic actually has mecha cool isn’t it.

One more thing say it with me, Hot Yaoi Action!….that felt good.

The icon of Thanksgiving is the Turkey. We eat the turkey in a festival of flesh eating carnage and bad beverages. However... The Easter Bunny is the icon of Easter... And yet all you do is go and harvest nasty eggs its crapped out that are curiously in different colors... Wheres the meat gnawing carnage? I want to go pick up a big pink fluffly dead Easter Bunny at Albertsons and take it home, remove that little "entrails" packet thats in its stomach, and stuff it with good stuff, then cook the thing. Then theres Holloween... And well... The icon of holloween is the pumpkin, and we eat pumpkin pie. But then theres Christmas... The icon of christmas is Santa. I hope greedily for the day that we get to go to Albertsons and bring home a big fat dude in a santa suit to cook up. Actually that would be nasty. Forget that. Im still all for the bunny thing though. Anyways ^_^

Ah, sou da, the comic is continuing at it's given pace... you should all best be prepared, for the art only gets crappier from here on! Bwahahahahah! I'm working on the bishounen, I swear. Really, really! *runs away* *comes back screaming like a..... something* sorry about the mass genkiness of death, but I just got out of a CS midterm which was kinda..... something scary-like. Keeping up with a once-a-week schedule is tough... I wonder how other webcomic artists do like, 4 a week, or whatnot. Bleedin' saiko's they is. ...yeah.

Strip 2. W00t! Now the comic really gets started.

I'm considering adding some sort of system like Blogger for updating rants. It would be a lot easier for me, and I'm sure for everyone else. My main concern would be compatibility with Keenspace's update system. I'm also not sure what having 4 Blogger thingies on one page would do either. I'm going to look into all that later.

For now, rants may be posted later than mindnight on Mondays. Check back later in the week to see if there are any changes (as if that many people were reading them...heh ^^).

Oh yes! I almost forgot to mention Fanime. We'll all be there for the entire 3 days of the con. I'm going to be cosplaying as Sinister Black Vash. Woo, go me! ^_^

As Devon mentions, you'll probably find us in the karaoke room for a good portion of the time. I'm no good at singing, but hey, ya never know what may happen.

Well this is the second strip, I think I turned out great. Giddeon captured the retro look of the dad. I also went to Wondercon, a crappy little comic convention with my dad, but the up part was that they had some nice anime stuff also. Fanime is only 5 days away, you should all watch me and Gidd sing Kiseki no Hana from Initial D. The more people watching the more likely I pass out ^_^;;; If any one reads this I will be at the karaoke room basically all night.

I don’t have anything else to say so bye bye.

I just went to WonderCon... It was pretty cool. A lot of the same people that were there last time were there. I only saw two real cosplayers, two Sailor Moon girls, one from Hawaii, the other from Japan. I bought four more wallscrolls, two pins, one miniposter, and two CDs. Oh, and download "Yoko Kanno - Go Ri A Te"... Its the music that plays as I walk through a futuristic city screaming at old ladies and eating their fluffy poodles. And after I eat their fluffy poodles I do this little irish sailor/balerina dance as my victory salute. Hey man, thats what the song is telling me ^_^ Its kinda funny... Most people dream of charging into battle to a song like "White Zombie - Soul Crusher"... I dream of charging into battle playing the Ojamajo Doremi Opening ^_^ And with that - Like a hawk on fire, I swoop!

-BEN-MAN-

Yeah, been lazy about updating rants. I really should get a better system in place.

Comic is continuing on schedule. I uploaded some more resolutions for the Gaiderion IV wallpaper.

How many people are actually reading this comic, anyway? I want someone to post in the Forums...

Well, the comic's coming along all niceishly, isn't it? Deadlines are hard to meet *nod nod*. And yeah, I'm gonna change the art style from here on. Instead of photoshop coloring like it has been, I think I'm gonna shade it with a pencil myself instead. Better art and faster, sounds pretty spiffy to me ^_^. Funny rants are hard... gaah Ben makes it look so easy, that freak ^_^; Now, off to prepare for the second Final of the day *whoosh*

And so it continues. Next week we're getting our apartment, and things will be busy for a while. But once everything calms down, there will be more activity around here.

Ah, my rant is so boring compared to the others... ^_^ I think they will be more interesting in the future though.

Well, I just got back from the lush island of Maui. Very little happens on Maui... Put yourself in a cardboard box filled with 1lb sand, 1lb green paing, and 1lb teenage bimbo and 3 lbs humidity, then jump inside the box, and you will have duplicated Hawaii to an almost frightening level. I also learned that there is a species of small plentiful black fish in the seas off Hawaii that can serve a useful purpose. Grab one, dry its skin, then stick it on a stick, and light it on fire, and you have a Fish Torch. This works because the fish is incredibly oily. Now... This got me to thinking... Can you do such a thing with anything that is oily...? For instance, next time Im out exploring a forest, Im going to bring along a juicy faced teenage computer nerd with a ghastly oily face. When the sun goes down, I will rip off his oily face, stick it on a stick, and light it on fire and it will provide light for me to see with! Seeeee? Computer nerds /do/ serve a purpose in society! Theyre the emergency torch materiel!!! But with this secret out.. I must protect my own computer nerd juicy face... mmm... juicy...

Oi. Explanation of the current art day (as if anyone was going to read it). We just watched Angelic Layer, and afterwards we were really bored, and decided to draw for no real reason whatsoever. What to draw? We decided to draw what our angels would be if we had them... and being the freakish gamer I am, mine (Blitz) came out all Megaman-y, but yeah, it would beat the crap out of Veronica's bishounen pretty-boy type, not battle-ready at all ^_^

We're now updating twice a week! Look for new strips (or perhaps sometimes art days) on Thursdays now, in addition to Mondays.

In about a week we'll be heading down to AnimeExpo 2002, so probably no updates during that time.

Giddeon and Eli are now addicted to DDR, I am sort of indifferent to it but I haven't played much anyways, so I can't blame them. But that is exactly why the strip is a mecha DDR strip. It really should be Eli facing Giddeon, Because I really suck, but whatever.

Its been awhile since I last ranted but since no one will be reading this anyways its okay ^_^

I on the other hand am more addicted to Soul Calibur and Guilty Gear X, oh yeah those games rule. I can't even beat Guilty Gear X on easy (and I'm not that bad, infact pretty decent) but on hard it must be so hard that you could call it a Rightous Mega-Killing Fire of Gear. Well if you get a chance play Guilty Gear X (if you like fighting games).

Ahh... heh eh he eh... yeah, I've been... how do you say... missing... strips... but I HAVE AN EXCUSE! Anime Expo is tomorrow and we've been getting ready... yeah, that's right, getting ready heheh... I swear I'll get better, I swear, please don't bring out the bashing stick... please... *cough* okei that's enough.

The next strip is going to get damned spiffly though, I won't spoil it (because I know soooo many people are looking forward to it), but it will involve catgirls and spaceships. Oooooh, yay ^_^. I guess that's about it, but you best be looking forward to the rest of the plot ^_^. Otanoshimi ni.

Well, AX came and went very fast. Although we managed last Thursdays strip, tragedy has fallen upon the scetches for todays installment. But once Giddeon defeats the 3vil Water Demon, expect the plot to continue.

On to site updates - there's something new lurking in the Omake section! The IllogiBot comic strip. And after you've gone to check that out, be sure to go to our Store and buy yourself an IllogiShirt and a pair of IllogiShorts!

AX Is going to be so much fun I can't wait. The same story remains, I will be in the karaoke room all night, and in the Day I will be frolicking about.

Gotta write something Oh I know you must go play "Dark Age of Camelot" if you have 10 extra dollars every month, but it will be worth it, so.... Play it!... Gotta think.... If I Lived in Mushroom Kingdom, I would eat more vegatables, and plenty of Koopas too. Speaking of mario I play 45 minutes of Mario Cart every day, and no one can beat my Rainbow Road mega-drifting.

See... Listen up... You would think that a easy source of food would be dirt, but we cannot eat dirt, so we must find an easier source of food, sand will not do, because it feels like your eating coffee grounds pulled from a whales butt, so the only thing to do is to make up some new idea for constructing food so what I suggest is this, in deep space where there is nothing at all there are still particles that form and then disapear almost instantly so all we need to do is to figure out a way to harness this awesome power so that we can make ROASTED TURKEYS APPEAR, you see it makes so much sense I almost flatter myself to death for when this finally happens people will build monuments for me and I will be encased in a gold exoskeleton and made to live forever and be placed atop everest for all to see, but to do that I will need to flatten out the earth and make myself about 8 miles tall, for then everyone will be able to see me and appreciate the awesome glory of me for making ROASTED TURKEYS APPEAR FROM THE COLD VOID OF SPACE, however if this went out of control there would be a massive influx of Void Turkeys and it could hamper life as we know it, so thus I would create the Bens Royal Anti Void Turkey Brigade Of Infinite Wanton Explosions and I would rule the galaxy with a iron wanton fist and destroy any Void Turkeys that appeared, but however if a turkey read Battle Of The Ultra Brothers it would know that it could fall into a black hole then absorb all of the black holes near infinite power and conqour the universe, so I would have an anto Ultra Void Turkey Wanton Death Explosion Pow Bang Pistol brigade to stop that if that happened, but however, if the turkey had read the battle of the Ultra Brothers well, it would know that it would be able to take any form it wanted, and I would have to have a safeguard to protect the last 28 UltraBens and fight Ultra Void Turkey to the very end with my infinite lust passion desire and manliness but however if i couldnt win I would merely fling myself into the inner dimension and return as a mind controlled BENVIL, and with my infinite powers I would brain wash an army and control it and turn it into the Benervision Army we would take over the universe, but then the Ultra Void Turkey would create a race of gigantic warriors to stop me who would use the powers of song to try and stop me, so I would need to figure out a way to kill these spiritia assassins, and in the end I would build myself a gigantic transforming space battleship the likes no one has ever seen before and I would destroy the Ultra Void Turkeys Super Turkey Fortress Macbirdcross and I would pound it into oblivion and I would force the Ultra Void Turkey to participate in Amsterdam Donkey Shows for the rest of his meaningless existence as I reconstructed the order of the UltraBens and make Squid Sperm Packet Wars an olympic sport, but it would stop when an unsuspecting mutant girl got pregnant and gave birth to a HUMAN SQUID and thus I would have a new enemy, SQUIDIOUS MAXIMUS - but thats another story...

For today, check out the new comic strip, the new Evil Z wallpaper, and the totally revamped Info page.
