about me

Why hello. I'm ahw, i'm 24 and i live in a suburb of toronto. I'm a mid masters terran on north america. I've always enjoyed writing and stuff, so I've decided to practice a new hobby...

I can't draw very well, but its fun, and starcraft doesn't really have any consistent comics. So feel free to follow along and watch as I learn to draw, and post my ladder problems and complaints as they come up.

about understimmed

Understimmed is set at the Natural Expansion, where Jim is stationed. Jim isn't a very good marine, but his dad was quite a famous Terran, and expectations are high. He may or may not have a stim addiction.

Jim's best friend is the often sarcastic Dru, who is nervous about his new placement at the recently upgraded Orbital Command. Dru is extremely nervous and bumbling at the best of times, and working alongside the Commander is pushing him to the limit.

Together, they drink a lot and lust after the medics along the encampment. But there's something different going on, strange orders are being issued and odd creatures are appearing along the encampment.

The gears of war are turning...

updates and stuff

I'm going to try to get consistent updates going soon. I'm hoping at least one comic a week (4 panels). When I'm happy with that, I'm going to bump it to two a week. As this is totally new for me, expect things to change pretty frequently.

Sounds like its worth the read for sure! Will be waiting for it. Also drawing skills doesn't matter as long as the story is good.

New one is posted.

Question for you guys. Is it easier if i continually update the main blog post with new ones, or would you guys prefer sub topics for each? I don't really know the rules for blogs... But I just wanna figure out whats easiest.

Thanks for the interest, bros.

Posted another. Hope everybody gets the moon reference. If not, someone will explain.

I lost about 7 2v2s in a row yesterday. I have decided that 2v2 is not the game type for me. Id have better luck mashing the keyboard with my balls. And thats about the skill level you need to one base all-in on every stupid backdoor rock 2v2 pool map. ugh.
