What's the resolution and name of the Chinese one you're using.

Also I'm falling in love with Brian Wood. Just started DMZ after reading channel zero and god it's awesome from page one.

TBH I don't know it's some chinese sample that the company I work for was considering to resell. But it didn't support android and is pretty shitty with windows so it stayed in my department. The resolution it has is 1024x600.

The Android one had a resolution of 1024x768 and was made by Match Tech Industries but they sell it for rebranding. It had Cortex A8 CPU with 512 MB of RAM.

I must be afraid of running out of shit to read.

Came home with DMZ Vol 3 and 4 so I can get onto the vol 5 and 6 I already have. Also got volume 1 of Sin City.

Ordred 68 Volume 1: Better Run Through the Jungle due to Mutantius's recommendation

and got two Batman ones from Frank Miller

Batman Year One

Batman The Dark Knight Returns

Also got the Deadworld Omnibus in the mail today] and still waiting for The Terminator Omnibus Volume 1 to come in the mail.

I dunno if I'm happy to have all this to read because I have a sudden loss of interest in games or if I lost interest in games because of these lol

Did stephen king actually write it or is it an adaptation. I tried getting into both The Stand and Dark Tower and didn't like either of them.

Here's what I aquired in the last 2 weeks lol. The Walking Dead Compendium Vol 1 should be here tomorrowish. The big black one in the middle is Y: The last man deluxe edition volume 1

I've got 4 of them. MY graphic novel hobby went on hold fo ra while because I got hurt at work and couldn't afford them anymore, then they fired me because I was talking to a lawyer. Now I gave away my car so I could get away from the car payments, so once i get a new car, I'll pick them up again. There's so many god damn DMZ and Preacher books it's expensive to keep reading them lol

That's an old picture too. I've gotten more since.

Just got back from a bookstore that sells used books for half the retail price.

Found this book that was just released 2 months ago...

30 buicks for a brand new book in perfect condition when it retails 60? Fuck ya.


Go to check out and the lady tells me used books are half off. I gave her a dumb look saying to myself "yes...I clearly saw the 30 dollar price tag". She told me my total was 15 dollars but thought I misheard her and gave her my card still thinking it was 30.

No, I just paid 15 bucks for a 2 month old mint 700 page comic book.



....now excuse me while I spend the rest of my night occupied.

now that it's getting too cold to ride my bike to work, have some time to read comics on the subway.

but pretty much everything I download in cbr seems pretty low resolution, like maybe 480p at best. And that's like 2gb for the entire DMZ series ... I appreciate the trade off between resolution and size, but any way to find higher rez cbrs (just search terms, mostly looking on usenet and PB)


asus z170-A || core i5-6600K || geforce gtx 970 4gb || 16gb ddr4 ram || win10 || 1080p led samsung 27"

Ya Mutantius and I are going to test out seeing how shipping them to him is going to work and see if it's cheaper for him in the long run in a couple months. Build up a bunch of volumes he wants and then see what it'll cost to ship them.

It's a perk here, computer hardware, comics and electronics are cheaper than fuck here.
