As the more astute among you
will have already realised, I've changed the look of the site. I had to change
every single page and create all new titles and buttons. I have also added a
whole two new sections. You can find them in the 'other stuff' section. As of
now, the Archives page has a plethora of new images for you to see. I have also
re-written another character on the characters page. Apparently I'll be getting
all new all sexy coloured images to replace the pencil and inked pictures that
are there now. But then, only time will tell.
[

I am not here and therefore,
cannot type anything.

Well, its
that time of the month again. We have a surprise for you in the comic section!
Its the comic I mentioned ages ago. the one that was all drawn and scanned in
but only one panel was coloured. Now the whole comic is all coloured in and
shiny like new. Go see it!
[ Wil ]
ONLY ME!!! well there's a comic
up, feel happy. Yes its an oldie but it explains why the TV hates me.
I've found a good place to doodle Flatmates too: during English lectures. I'm
putting my ass on the line for you people, when the lecturer caught me doing a
Flatmates sketch he practically castrated me.
Well that's all for now, more later though.
Monday 12th August

Well, another one panel comic
now graces the archive. yay for it is something and not nothing. I have
re-designed my other website, its all new looking. if you want to see it its
here : Stec's Page O' Stuff there are things there that some people find
amusing. Anyway, back on the Flatmates thing, I have created the flat on 'The
Sims' currently we are both employed, I am a Tarot card reader (on the
paranormal job ladder) Wil is an extra in an obscure TV show (the media job
ladder) We have no money and no wall paper. Also Wil keeps sleeping in My bed
instead of on the sofa. Just like the real Wil, this makes him grumpy and
irritable. Also, the all-girl Lesbo family are frequent visitors... this is good
because they don't believe in clothes... This afternoon I hope to be able
to afford a pizza for them to eat.
[
Wil ]
Well it may only be 1 panel but
at least
1: it's in colour
2: it's something
Well, i do have another comic partially drawn which i will try to get up ASAP. Unfortunately most of my time is taken up with Neon Silence and the Hutting comic
Tuesday 11th June

[
Wil ]
I Would like it known that I had
nothing to do with the construction of the above image, nor do I endorse Steve's
horrific attempts at the CG arts.
Anyway, go look in the comic section, Steve left a little
surprise for you, and no it isn't the contents of his large
intestine......
Monday 22nd April

Well. Check the regularity of
these updates. Sometimes I impress myself... Well, there seems to be some VERY
distant rumblings of a forthcoming strip. If all goes to plan, it should be
released before the end of May 2003. The alternative being in a few months. The
current status of the strips is : one needs to be coloured. Another needs the
line art finished and the third needs to be drawn. As I have mentioned there's a
slight chance that something may be happening, but we all know that the
timescale we are looking at here can be noticeable on a geological scale.
I was going to digress here and explain the removal of the 'Amy' character and replacing her with the much more apt and interesting character of Jen, but instead I'm going to pretend to read a book for my Uni thing that i should have finished and handed in 3 weeks ago.
As many of you will have already realised even the guest book gets more added to it then the actual site. but then its easier to write in the guest book then to write and update this page. I just though that it was abut time I let you all know the status. Anyway, I leave you now in the capable hands of Wil (who isn't here)

Diddle-diddle do-do-do.
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhh its fucking out tomorrow
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhh for piss's fucking sake. Its finally sodding well here.
I'm actually smiling for the cunting bloody pissing wanking arseholeing shitting
biscuits.ARRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhFuckingaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Excuse me... I'm somewhat ecstatic over this relatively minor
event.
There is one strip finished, it just needs colouring in. There has also been
another started, its subject is something thats been happening recently. It has
nothing to do with the impending arrival of MGS2.
OK, All done.
AAAAAAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh MGSfucking2.
[
Wil ]
Sorry for the hideous lack
of....well anything, My computer has been totaly qwrecked and the prospect of me
ever getting a new one is practically non existant. With the lack of PC services
ive been unable to colour any more strips so after this strip, until i get a new
comp, all Flatmates will be in a Black n White.
So then.....MGS2 comes out tomorrow, you'd never guess that in 12 short hours
we'll be basking in the warm glow of one of the longest awaited games for any
platform in years would you?
This week i have been mostly playing Final Fantasy 7 in an attempt to complete
the game after the proverbial wall i hit Last time. I'll probably start playing
FF9 again after im through trying to kill all the Weapons n gathering up as much
hidden stash as i can on FF7.
On the coolness front, im finaly getting paid to draw comics, granted they are
Dragonball Fanzine comics but hell its a start.
Anyways im off now to get some more comics drawn.
"ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWWWWWWWWWWN!!!" Diddle do do, Diddle do do dooo

God I'm depressed
No-one

Tuesday 22nd January

There has been a substantial change to
today's comic. The easiest way to find out is to go and read it for yourselves.
Any comments you have on it can be posted in the guest book. Looking forward, it
is hoped that all the future comics will look like it. This is a proud moment
for us here at Flatmates. We have achieved what was once thought to be the
impossible. All Hail Adobe Photoshop.
This week, I have been mostly playing Diablo 2 again. I'm
sort of back into the swing of things. I have also been playing Tony Hawk's 3 a
bit. Rodney Mullen rules. I've also been watching Jackass and CKY a lot. they
are most amusing. On that subject, I'm going to watch last nights Jackass in a
few mins. I'll have to go and get the video. Another interesting event that occurred
today: I bought a brand new mobile phone. Its a shiny Sony one that weighs less
then 25 bees. I need to get it registered though. Hurrah its registered now. All
i need to do is figure out how to make it display who's calling instead of just
saying : call incoming.
[Wil]
AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! I've just
crushed my fucking finger in the door and good GOD it hurts.
Anyhoo on to more comic related matters. All those people who complained day in
day out regarding a lack of updates, well now you know why. Flatmates has once
again climbed up that evolutionary ladder and set a new standard for me to
attempt to beat. =
Good news for you, bad news for me, it took me from 9:10pm
- 4am to do that strip, but its really fuun to do, this does mean lots more
comics, for me, lots less sleep
My next task is going to be "Attempted Flash buttons" to replace the
old ones we have, its high time the site got some new shiny bits n pieces.
This week i have been mostly playing....yes thats right, Starcraft.
Although its not as shiny as it once was it still provides me with countless
hours of wasted time which should probably be spent either doing the comic or
trying to find myself a job.
This week I have also found another cool band to add to my Minidisc
collection. "Zebrahead" who did the song "Check" on Tony
Hawks 3 along with other great songs such as "Now or Never" and their
version of the Spice Girls song "Wannabe". Wil's walkman says "2
thumbs Fresh"
Riot I think thats it for this week, except 1 thing. Final Fantasy The Spirits
Within although good is a very WEIRD film that really doesn't explain anything
at the end. "I didn't think that much of it
myself."
"Yeah but thats only because you were
imagining Aki arse naked instead of watching the damn thing"
Monday 10th December
[ Steve ]
A new dawn is upon us. I have been
upgraded. Much to my initial disgust, its turned out all right in the end,
although there are a few times where I get pissed off with it. I need no further
example then the pissing (not literally) search dog. its so fucking annoying,
and the even more infuriating mutant paper clip. On the upside, its does do that
funky wavy line under my spelling mistakes here in my 'new' page creator. Joy of
Joys. Well, In the past 5 weeks, I have been mostly playing Smackdown 3, Tony
Hawks 3, Devil May Cry, SSX: Tricky and Silent Hill 2. It has been a busy gaming
period. Sadly, I have not exactly been enjoying said games, but then thats my
own fault for nor being able to have fun. They are a good waste of time though.
However, having said that, I have been enjoying them slightly more in the past
few days. It all happened when I had found the Ifrit Gauntlets and beat the
living shit out of several beasties in DMC (that's Devil May Cry for those rap
freaks) Well, there are two brand new shiny
updates this time, a whole comic and a new colour character.
[ Wil ]
Look upon my laziness and despair
all ye lowly mortals. I've finally been thrown out of sixth form after they
realised that i wasn't going to do the fucking work no matter how many times
they yelled at me. You'd think that with all this free time on my hands id be
drawing Flatmates strips like crazy, well you'd lose that bet. I've been drawing
a few new pages on my Ironscourge Studio Manga and so haven't been drawing
Flatmates. Well the shininess of that has now worn off so i decided to draw a
few new Flatmates related things as well as contemplate the next part of Pay Per
View (Yes THAT again). On the character front, Amy has now been added, John,
Will your going have to wait until the next update HA HA!!!
LOOK Jon (The Girl) is making his Flatmates comic debut today. everyone feel free to laugh at him. Im going now so all you bastards start downloading "Run DMC, It's Tricky" its a hideously addictive song (On a cheezy level). That'll do pig. That'll do.
[ Amykins ]
Yay, I'm now coloured!!! At long last......
Well I'm still unemployed and doing bugger all with myself every day except
watching Steve and Wil make complete arses of themselves as usual. I
really need to get a life - and some money. On the up side, I do actually
have my own flat now. Not as good as the Flatmates flat, but I ain't
homeless anymore. And it does mean I can have parties when other people
can be bothered to come round. I'm going now, cos those two are being
really weird and I need to escape before I get even more corrupted!!!
Tuesday 6th November
[ Steve ]
Things are moving again. I
think.
Another
comic is up for all of you who demanded it, its the follow on to the previous
comic 'Special Delivery'. Also, due to an almost inexhaustible amount of
'please draw me' requests, we've decided to introduce a new character.
I'm not going to say who it is right now, you're all going to have to wait.
Anyway, I drew up a script for the introduction of this character about
an hour ago. Its going to be around 8 panels long, but it shouldn't be a
2 parter. If it does turn out to be one, both parts will go up together.
On
the other side of the proverbial coin, I am not a happy bunny. I've become
somewhat depressed recently, hence my new outlook on everything. I have
2 official quotes - "I hate this" and "anything to take my mind off my
life" This recent development has led to some problems, I am no longer able
to achieve the high standard of game play on my PS2. I am even being beaten
on Tekken, but then I have been playing random characters and not attacking
when my opponent is lying on the ground.
The
Diablo 2 problem is more or less out of my system again, I've gone about
a month without needing to play it.
Also, Wil, is sketching said
new character as I type this. He's already drawn the head and most of the
upper body.
Further interesting
events that have happened involve the addition of a new guest book.
But I'm assuming, anyone that's been here in the past few weeks has already
noticed this. Anyway, as ever, I leave you in the capable rantings of
Wil
[ Wil ]
Yay i finaly got off my ass
and finished that 1 strip i've been drawing for over 2 months, arn't i
great. Truth be told i have been desperatly trying to break into the feild
of comics, hang out with friends and not get thrown out of college (Which
is proving difficult). We've also collected over 5 requests on both guest
books of people asking to appear in Flatmates, next strip we will be able
to grant all these requests and whittle them down to 1 character who will
take Anna's place that was taken over by Lucy which we are now getting
rid of because she was a bit of a non-event with a quantum probability
of Zero, plus her seriousness royally screwed up the Flatmates bizarness,
we already have the moral voice of Amy we don't need 2.
I am currently in the process of drawing concept
art for the new character with any luck i should have a colour version
completed by tomorrow (No really, honest).
We are revamping the characters page with new
improved Character Sketches which are coloser to how we look now and IN
COLOUR TOO! arn't you lucky.
Well, thats enough of that, who's up for another
round of Egg Golf?
Sunday 23rd September
[ Steve ]
Well we finally got it sorted. Pay per view part
1 is now online. I'll assume that you've noticed the new link on the title
page. I hope you all enjoy the HOURS of work that has been put into getting
it out on time. Also, as an added bonus, we've decided to let the Amazing-Amykins
write something. but that will be after myself and after Wil (we hate sloppy
secconds and in Wil's case sloppy thirds) Anyway its bloody on line at
last. On a side note. you can see 'said' images as going to be mentiond
by Amykins by sending a cheque payable to me of 20 english pounds. For
this small introductory price you will recieve about 8 semi-nude pics of
my friends.
[ Wil ]
Yeah he hates sloppy seconds, thats why he moved
himself to the number 1 slot in the news section...goit.
SEEE i can fulfill a deadline promise when the
need takes me, 90% of the time im just way too lazy.
For those of you who have read Pay Per Veiw (PPV)
and are wondering who the person on the last page is...thats Aide i just
havn't got around to drawing up a character sketch for him yet. What can
i say, i'm a lazy git "PAIN" ??
Now that PPV is out of the way for now i'm going
to get back to drawing the conclusion to the speakers storyline. I have
a few fresh and funky ideas coming up most of which will involve some of
those characters that havn't had a chance to make an appearance other than
in PPV aka Aide, Will, and my moronic brother Jon.
We brought another poor tortured soul to play
today, the young Kins aka Amy from Flatmates fame (I wish)
I think i've ranted on long enough so take it
away Amy.....
I'm also going to be putting up "the brains behind
flatmates" section later in the month.??????
yeah right.
"PAIN!!!!!"
[ Amykins ]
Well Flatmates may not be famous yet, but i am
apparently better known for certain photographs, which i desperately regret!
Anyway, enough of that, time to introduce myself a little - Yes I am not
just a figment of Wil's imagination! My chcaracter is actually fairly
similar to my strange lifestyle, mostly in the fact that i really do despair
when having to deal with Steve and Wil's bizarre pastimes. And what
do i actually have to do with the production of Flatmates???
Well i suppose i'm sort of employed in trying to keep the other two out
of trouble. IMPOSSIBLE!!!
Monday 9th September
[ Steve ]
Another comic up now... part one of two. Yes,
thats right - a 2-parter. Part two will be up soon. Currently (well this
month) Wil is (or should be) finishing off Pay Per View, we have half of
one page completed. After that, part two of todays update will be completed.
Well, I'm going to play Diablo 2 or Starcraft shortly so I'll not write
more. Somone has polished the Diablo 2 jewel and you know what that means
"Yes fewer site upgrades"
Wil you're a fuckwit
[ Wil ]
Yes Pay Per View part 1 is nearly ready so you
can all be happy about that. Where it says in the adverts "Sometime in
September" it is actually going up in September, this is the first deadline
i've met in years. HURRAY i hear you cry.
I've decided to do few saga stories as i've dubbed
them, Instead of just the basic 4 panel gag i'm doing to try and stretch
a few jokes into 2/3 part mini stories. This is all part of a cunning attempt
to keep people coming back.
Well Starcraft has once again taken control of
my gaming world. I've started playing brood war and i have to say that
the Zerg are MUCH harder than they where in Starcraft, i'm talking Bastard
hard. By the end of mission 3 of the UED campaign i was about ready to
rip the CD out of the drive, chew it until it was moist with bile before
throwing it through a window, climbing to the top of the roof, and upon
announcing my new status as a flagpole yell "I HATE THOSE FUCKING ULTRALISKS,
20 SEIGE TANK BARRAGE AND THEY STILL KEEP COMING, WHY DAMNIT WHY!!!!!!"
and collapsing into a gibering heap, needless to say it was a pretty tense
moment one i'm not keen to repeat. I Can't wait to play this baby online,
all my original tactics will be utterly useless.
"Can i have my Brood War CD back"
"hmmmm let me think, how about NO! if u want
it back Steve your going to have to beat me 1v1 on B.net"
Thursday 30th August
Tuesday 28th August
[ Steve ]
A sad day is upon us. The grand ideas of producing
a pay per view comic, have been cut down. PPV has been stopped. Sadly,
it will never be finished. The reason for this is that it takes just too
long. Wil, as you well know is slightly lazy, (not as lazy as his brother
though) and it takes a fair while to complete a page. In light of this,
we have decided to end it early. On the upside, it will be free and put
online. There are still 3 or so pages that need to be done to bring it
to a suitable conclusion, but hopefully they will have been started, or
will be later today/this week. Look forward to seeing PPV onlione in the
not too distant future.
[ Wil ]
"What is with you Steve and getting my intenions
so wrong" The Grand Idea has mearly been scaled down. You lucky, lucky
people get the first 2 chapters for free, the final 2 are going to be in
a HUGE comic which will cost you. So like TV Pay Per View where you get
20 secods free, we're going to give you the same privilege....EXCEPT we
arn't some stinking corporate TV company and were giving you 2 Chapters.
With other Projects on the Back burner i can
produce much better quality pages so the old Flatmates is going Bye Byeeeee
I Will be giving all the characters on the character
page a huge make over to go with Flatmates changing nature. In addition
the section labeled "Timesplitters tonight" is going to be changed to "The
TV" which will show such quality Haunted TV Shows such as "Timespltters
Tonight", "Tastes Like Chicken" and other Random shows.
LET ME ASSURE YOU, PAY PER VIEW WILL BE FINISHED.
In the Mean time enjoy the New Flatmates.
Sunday 26th August
[ Steve ]
I dont believe it! )well, I do because I can
see it... like faeries, but I believe in them anyway.... clap your hands
if you believe in faeries....) yes! its true It's damn true. Wil has returned
with..... A herring!!! (no, another comic) yay. anyway, I havent had a
beer in ages and NEED some, so, I'm gonna go see if my card works in the
shop. Wil will write when we come back...
[ Wil ]
RANT MODE ENGAGED....LOADING
RANT......PLEASE WAIT....
[Wil Rant 1]
REJOICE...I'm Back from France, and let me tell
you the Loire Valley sucks. Theres no Beer anywhere, no Technology in sight
and Fat Skin headed 14 year old moped gangs roaming the streets. I couldn't
grasp the culture, they had Roads you had to PAY to use and what kind of
civilisation charges you £1 to take a piss????? Thats not culture
thats called a country in dsperate need of money that they'll Tax the Shit
out of you. Its as Expensive as Japan but no where near as cool.
Oh Yeah and if your in France and your order
a Steak, make sure you tell them to cook it. I Ordered one and it came
back raw, dripping in blood, i swear if had been a few hours fresher it
would've still had a pulse.
My Walkman, endless supply of Tapes and Flatmates
where the only things that kept me sane.
Steves card works AMAZING we have 2 boxes of
Beer and 2 bottles of Diet Coke. Yes Diet coke. I Don't get it when fat
people in McDonalds order the biggest meal on the menu and ask for a Diet
Coke with it, they seem to think its some kind or miracle cure or somthing.....WHY??????
I've actually started pulling my weight around
here. After recieving a few AIM's and Guest book entries of admiration
i actually realised, People find this stuff funny. "we
built this city on rock and roll" "oooo.....kay,
Cheque please"
Because you actually take time to read it i'm
going to take more time working at it....hey its the least i can do.
Hope you like the first of the "NEW" Flatmates.
Focusing around mine and Steve's new love for the game Gran Turismo 3,
B.Net has lost its once shiney appeal. Only because no plays me anymore
because i'm such a Psycho when playing.
As Steve so rightly put it, i am going to adress
the issue of the "Quake Persona's" and Steve couldn't have got it more
wrong
"we built this city on rock and roll" "Yes
Yes it does, dosn't it......" anyway. When Playing Quake the costumes are
what the Quake CHARACTERS wear. As me an Steve are playing the game we
appear to be wearing the Quake attire. In Moments of Drama or inevitable
combat it just seems appropriate to be wearing the costumes to add to the
atmosphere, hence the reason they suddenly disappear when both characters
re-enter realty "we built this city on rock
and roll" "We built this City...." "we
built this city on rock and roll" "Thats enough
of that...."
As For Onimusha, we'll i've been stuck in France
so i can't really comment on it, but from what i have seen the plot is
utter bollocks.
Well thats all for this week, all thats left
to say is
"we built this city on rock and roll" "We
Built this city..."
"We built this city on Rock and Rooolllll
We Built this City on Rock and Rooolllll"
Thursday 23rd August (very early morning)
[ Steve ]
Well, another 'gap' in the procedings of Flatmates.
This time, we have run into the proverbial Wall. Wil is devoting more and
more time to his other comics. Sadly this leaves no time for Flatmates.
As for myself, well, I was not being encouraging enough... But, then he
knows i don't do the 'encouragement' or even the 'enthusiastic' thing.
Most of my emotions have been culled. I am only left with Pain, Hatred,
and another really depressing one. On the upside, I have turned them into
positive emotions. Which is not exactly easy. I have started boxing, and
eating anchovies. I recommend to everyone, eat a tin of anchovies and then
get into a fight. It worked for me.
Anyway, I have been once more playing Diablo
2, but I am growing weary of its once glittering charms. The lustre of
the weapons and sparkle of the gems have dulled. The proud call of Battle.net
has faded to a simple whisper. The Thrill of battle and bravery - once
a thing of great pleasure has all but shriveled up in the shadows. Finally
I have emerged from the shell of solitude involved in the magics of sword
and sorcery, the game of Diablo 2.
I have turned my gaming intrests to the delights
of Gran Turismo 3 A-spec and Onimusha Warlords on my PS2. Fortunatley,
this is not as all consuming as Diablo 2. and I have re-found old friends
and made new ones in the short space of a few weeks.
As for the new comic that I've put up, during
Wil's exile to france, he mentioned that he would adress the issue of the
Quake Persona's - as featured in the latest comic. The Idea is, that we
are overtaken buy our quake personalities - fully tooled up for a violent
gunfight. However, although both characters do posses the garb that they
are wearing. The fact remains that they are simply imagining they are 'in
the game'. I'd like to add, that I myself have no recolection of imagining myself in a computer game, when I am not actually playing one. Even then
it has to be a decent game, one that ' you can get into' as it were.
Anyway, Wil will try and explain in his own way,
when he returns from exile ( in about 2 days ).
Also, as he has been allowed the simple necessities
of life such as a pencil and some paper, he may have something for me upon
his return.
Well, I have to go to work in about 12 hours
( yes I have a job now ) I am going to bed. to sleep for about 11
of them.
[ Wil ]
I'm in France and cant write anything except:
Forsooth, teeth am very bitey.
Tuesday 10th July
[ Steve ]
Look at this... a whole new comic for you to
read. Also, another has been finished, it just needs a few finalisations
before we can put it up. It is finished though, also it has been scanned.
Anyway, I'd write more, but I feel like shit
right now.
[ Wil ]
Well Steve's plan to attach a lever to the moon
failed. We found him on a stool, on the roof, stick in hand stretching
towards the night sky. It took 12 cans of Fosters to bring him down. Unfortunatly
i'm a crap shot, good thing that tree was there (that was a hairy couple
of minutes)
Yes its true, we have another comic just waiting
to be completed. Next update i'll address the issue of mine n Steve's "Quake
persona's"
Timesplitters tonight is a nice little add on
for when the main characters want a break or go somwhere(e.g the trip to
Ozzfest) Think Jerry Springer only far more violent. All the Characters
are based on the game Timesplitters for the PS2.
Thats all for now, i'm off to watch Urotsukidoji
Monday 2nd July
[ Steve ]
Well, 4 things to rant about this time ( in about
2 months thats good )
1 - The extended absense of myself and Wil can
be explained by the presence of an entity whom we like to call 'Battle.Net'
"Amen
to that brother" Yes, both our lives now revolve
around this wondorous thing. Wil has been absorbed into the realms of Starcraft,
and Myself, I have fallen into the bitter clutches of Diablo 2. The recent
release of the expantion pack has not helped in the slightest, as it has
extended my personal exile by another month at least. As for, Wil, well.
He was drafted and killed in Nam...
" erm...
i'm not quite dead sir"
2 - Currently, here in Newcastle, we are having
a bit of a weather crisis. The current temperature is - HOT, which is odd,
because there is no sun. I can attribute this to 1 thing. Mad scientists
adjusting the Earth's axis and therfore shifting the equator to somewhere
round about the M1. This has resuleted in traffic problems and a nasty
warmness that is almost unbearable. I sit here now warmer then I should
be in just my pants. I plan to use a giant lever, pivoted on the moon to
tilt the Erath back to its original position, and then further so as to
force the UK into the Arctic circle. Hopefully, this will force the temperatures
to below almost freezing. This will keep my beer cool and I won't need
to waste my money on keeping the fridge working.
3 - Also, We have got another comic up, its in
the comic section... where they usually are... Om a happier note, I have
decided to allow you to see the first panel of Pay-per-View. Sadly, due
to the recent problems we are facing (see above) it is still floundering
in its about-page-four stage. Soon, we will begin working on it again maybe
even later tonight.
4 - Some fourth thing...
[ Wil ]
Hey how come i'm on the bottom now???? "Cos
it hurts my back when im unerneath" o.O;;
ok.........
Yeah as Steve's so rightly pointed out this magical
force named Battle.net has re surfaced in my life. It surfaced a few weeks
after Starcraft was first released and now its returnd in all its righteous
fury to reclaim my mortal soul. How i've missed it. Nothing better than
waking up on a monday in a bad mood n beating the hell out of a total stranger
n then laughing about it, its invigourating, i suggest you try it.
I wasn't killed in Nam, it was my dining room.
Me n Steve have got very different perceptions
on life, He thinks my Dining room is Vietnam, ok ok it looks like a warzone
but still. I think I'll elaborate on this fact further later this week.
Pay per View kinda got put on the backburner
due to feckin exams i was forced to endure. Fortunatly they're over now
so i have a LOT more free time to devote to the comic.
As you can see from todays strip I'm increasing
the detail on the strip.
Theres also a new character bieng added to the
character pages. Will Aurthur, welcome to this sick world.
"WHOOO I GOT MY COUNTER, I'M GOIN T' DISNEY LAND"
Wednesday 9th May
[ Wil ]
Read Steve's comment first
Yes its true, it's true. In an inspired moment
what can only be called a Drunken stupor, I decided that a wall to wall
36 page Flatmates comic would be a cool idea. Don't worry i'll still be
drawing Flatmates 4 Panel strips as well but these will only be chronicalling
the events while we are away from the Flat, aka everyone who ISN'T in the
van will be left behind to do the strip. So if you want to read the Hilarious
adventures of 9 Individuals going South to Ozzfest you'll have to fork
out a bit of money........ DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT, look pencils, ink,
paper, Domain names, and Steves thinking time, these things don't come
cheap (Steves thinking time especially)
We are planning to expand and we need a lil extra
income from somewhere.
For those of you who do wish to buy the comic
i'll be putting your names on a special plaque which ill paste on the site
to honour your contribution..... We don't care if you are our friends.
you have to pay anyway
We're not evil honest, the T.V. is but we are
not

Well, look at this. Its 2 weeks since the last
update and we have a whole new comic. Needles to say, we've been busy.
Yes, there have been some revolutionary ideas floating aimlessly about
the flatmates camp. We have embarked on a quest to produve the first ever
muli-page comic spectacle - Flatmates 'Pay Per View'. It details the entirety
of the ozzfest trip from the afterbirth of the party to the road-trip home.
Anyone who wants to read this, will have to pay some money. Yes, Flatmates
is free, but in this instance you will have to pay.
Anyone purchasing the comic will get a signed copy, sent to your door.
Just to pep up your intrest, the cast for the
trip includes, myself and Wil, Adie, Amber, Amy, John, The-Girl-Jec (thats
Jon), Will and the T.V.

CATASTROPHY!. My PC, my second source of mental
supprt besides my walkman has fucked up. So thats why Flatmates's text
looks a tad different. On a plus side after much nagging by Steve I've
finally gotten round to putting backgrounds in the strip. No you're not
deaf, I did say backgrounds or a least what I consider backgrounds. Steve
just calls it detail. *gives Steve the finger*
As a bonus, we've started the first ever Flatmates
saga story revolving around the Ozzfest. For anyone who dosn't know what
it is, The Ozzfest is a rock festival.
"HEY STEVE I want a counter on this site, please."
[ Steve ]
Well, what can I say. its been 22 days since
we last had a strip to put up, and now look. TWO IN THE SAME FUCKING DAY.
they are now up and shiny ready to use your eyes on them. I've been a bust
playing the sims (brr-lattey and Crast!) Also I've been playing Diablo
2 a bit and I have also been working on a site for a friend. I'd give you
the link but it has questionable content.

I cant think of anything really philosophical
to say.
In keeping with the changes that are taking place
at Flatmates, my character has bought a new t-shirt. Because the idea of
a 'Caffine Vampire' apealed to me so much, I decided to design the Wil
character with this shirt. Plus I didnt want steve to get all the new shit.
[ Steve ]
Hurrah Let today be a day of rejoicing. 2 new
comics (can you believe it?????) Wil finished the one he'd had only done
half of. In addition to this there is another being finished even
as I type this. It WILL be finished today.
The below comment from Wil was supposed to go
up at the same time as the comic entitled 'Smaug', but because I was doing
some work on my degree I didn't get round to it. I do have other commitments...
Wedensday 30th March
[ Wil ]
After showing todays strip
around i noticed how uncultured some people are so for all those uncultured
folk out there I need to make 1 point - Smaug is the Dragon from J.R.R
Tolkien's "The Hobbit" OK???? so dont write in saying "Whats a Smaug."
Thank you.
In other news Steve has demanded his character
gain a make over and i am going to oblige him, for now, if it proves unpopular
I'll change it back so please write and tell us what you think.
[ Steve ]
I couldnt be arsed to write anything on this
day, so here I am writing it in the future, except it isnt the future any
more, because Its the present. Well past now. Anyway, what with it being
the 3rd I'll write today...
Thursday 29th March
[ Wil ]
Who knows for now... maybe
he'll have some words for us later. Sadly now he's busy, hopefully giving
my character a haircut.
[ Steve ]
We've got another strip. YAY.
Theres even a small chance that there may even be another by the end of
tonight. (here's hoping) Also, I've been talking with a few people, and
I've managed to bag us a sponsor (well We advertise his shop here and in
return he gives you (the public) some flyers or something that advertises
us). That way, everybodys happy. All I need to do is download the fonts
I need, and create some sort of flyer. Today, Off World Comics, tomorrow
Harrods, the next day, Virgin Enterprises. Fear me Richard Branson... FEAR
ME!!!
In other news, There are two
more characters here. Yes, you, well two of you asked for it, and now,
your dreams have become reality, yes, John and Amy, you are now here in
the characters section. Go, look, enjoy.
Monday 26th March
[ Wil ]
Has
got his arse in gear. We have another comic to put up.
[ Steve ]
About Fucking time too. I've
changed the backround again. The other one just looked pants. This one
is neither offensive or dull. I've put up the new section - The Flat, which
the more astute among you will have already noticed from the addition of
the new link on the main page. Also, good news. There is another character
going to ba added soon and another story is already half complete. ( that
makes two half complete stories on there way )
Monday 19th March
[ Wil ]
Is
away, again...
[ Steve ]
Well
are you impresed? The moment I get the site looking all nice, what happens,
Will, our estranged artist decides that its time to work on an independent
comic, one that will not be making an appearence on this site. Sadly, there
is nothing I can do to make him work. However there is one new comic that
is almost complete. Hopefully, It will be finished by the end of the week.
Wil has had the idea of doing
a side strip about the ever popular PS2 game 'Timesplitters' The strip
will be centered around the late night public access show 'Timesplitters
Tonight' with your host R108 and his midget - Robofish. Again I dont know
how long you will have to wait for it. Sorry people.
As for my own neglect to the
site, I can only account to the fact that I have beed playing Diablo 2
on battle.net. As it is, I will be playing it again every night. leaving
times like this when I will be able to work on the site. But then theres
not really much point un updating a comic site when I have no new comics.
Tuesday 6th March 2001 (aka the second or new start)

Has
no idea this has happened yet, but rest assured, as a new day dawns he
will shortly find out."bwah hah ha ha"
[ Steve ]
Well, A mere 13 days from its first faltering steps into this world, I
have taken the reigns of this site. Here I am sitting in the driver’s seat
of the new and improved web site. For those of you that have been here
before and liked the old site, well, I’m sad to say, it has sacrificed
its short life to make way for bigger and better things.
‘Why?’ I hear you cry (well I assume you
want to know). Well, I have now completed FFIX, and even killed that piss-irritating-jawbreaker
Ozma, and I have to say it took fucking ages.
Sunday 4th March 2001
[ Wil ]
2 comics in 2 days aren’t
you proud of me???? "No"
"I wasn't asking you"
Anyway with FFIX on the back shelf I had too
much free time to fill up so I’m in the process of inking in another 3
strips for you lucky, lucky people. I'll be uploading 1 a day all week
to make up for the lost time.
[ Steve ]
As Far as the site is going
we should have a new drinking game for those of you who have mastered the
Bucket Technique quite soon, and Wil (Because he's some kind of fucked
up otaku) has found some Anime related Drinking games.
Characters? Well, Wil's promised me some new
characters to put up soon but with his personal FFIX crisis he's had little
to no time to work on them.
"Erm actualy i've done 2 new characters your
just too lazy to scan them"
"Back to your Hole Scum, don't make me get the
hose".

[ Steve ]

(He's been Playing FFIX all night again and consequentaly
hasn't had any sleep all week, don't worry people we're getting him professional
help)
Sunday 18th February 2001 (aka. the first start)
[ Wil ]
Well it had to Start Somewhere,
don’t be too upset if you find that nothing really works here yet... Steve
and I haven’t finished the backbone of the site yet. We should be launching
the new version of the site, complete with four comics as well as the rest
of the site, Very soon. So, in short, we aren't ready for you yet, but
you are welcome to look around, where you can.
For Anyone who's saying "Hey this has no structure,
plot or cohesion" well that’s us in a nutshell, these ARE the kinds of
things Steve and I get up to. In fact some of the Stories we'll be doing
are real Life stories
If Anyone’s Complaining that most of these stories
are in pencil, well that's because Inking takes a LOT of time and I’m still
studying so I can't devote too much time to detailed Inking but I’ll try
to ink in as much as I can.
Anyway I'll Comment more on what where trying
to create here later on when we get most of the Sections up and Running.
