All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.
Got BSOD? is a webcomic by a computer geek for computer geeks. The series features three computer geeks, Jake, Tank, and Don, who work at a computer software and internet hosting company called BSOD Softworks.
Characters:
Jake is the head programmer of the company. He often flails his arms wildly in the air when something's not working.
Tank is the sysadmin and database manager. He calls Don "boss-man" and is quite the slacker.
Don is the boss and accountant. He's known in computer circles as "the hacker with the hat and goatee."
Crystal is the website designer. Jake has a strange, sorta creepy, crush on her.
Update Schedule: I don't update Got BSOD? on a regular basis, mostly whenever I can. I draw a lot of the comics while my science teacher is rambling. He never notices. So expect one or two comics a week. I might also do a bunch of comics then upload a whole story at the same time for smaller stories.
Story Arcs:Arcs in the list of comics on the site are shown in alternating shades of grey and white.
Reboot: When the server fries, a complete reboot is needed, and the lights (wired through the ethernet cables) go out, making things odd.
A Whole DVD-R: A combination of Tank's boredom and a supply of old floppy disks leaves Don out cold on the floor being poked by sticks.
Got WoW?: The BSOD Softworks crew play WoW together and Jake has bowel issues leading him to miss 99 percent of the "fun."
Filler is Ugly: A couple of cheesy filler strips.

After quite a bit of time I've finished up the third arc and I shall now bump this post.
Yeah.
BTW, I'm thinking of doing a bunch of different art styles as tests for a future art style for GBSOD. Will let you know when I have a few done.

I'm now doing a Got BSOD? animated series for youtube. A short trailer is up, and I just need some voice actors for the three main characters (I plan on portraying either of the two white guys, so just two actors are needed.)
I'm doing the title screen now, and it includes an exploding computer! Whee!
