Mr. Neil, Esq.'s Random Doodles

Quick sketches of ridiculous things.

Just messing around with Flipnote Studio 3D on the 3DS.  I haven't yet found a way to share the full 3D version online, which might be a limitation of the software.   In any case, it was still pretty fun to make.

Huzzah - The rumors are true!  The Duck Hunt dog is a playable character in the new 3DS/WiiU Smash Brothers!  This seems as good a time as any to reblog my ridiculous 2012 Halloween costume.  Expect to hear the canine's wheezy chortle in your waking nightmares again, for the first time in 30 years!

This year's goofy, Kid Icarus themed Halloween costume.  Beware of the Eggplant Curse!

An Abrupt End to Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Drat it.  Thanks to a failing SD card, I lost my entire save game of Animal Crossing.  The really frustrating part is that I just backed up my card to PC yesterday, but the game refuses to load anything earlier than the last save point.  I get that it's an experience best spread over a long period of time, and it would hurt the surprise events if save games from the internet that unlocked everything available.  Still, disallowing a save state that was created on the same console is going too far.  I can't say that I didn't get my playtime out of the game. In fact, I was probably logging in more hours than I should, to do repetitive (but fun) tasks to unlock bigger and better things.  I loved making artwork inside of the game, and sharing it with friends.  I really liked the social aspect of the game, and the need to collaborate to unlock things.  I can't see myself redoing and recollecting everything that I had. Perhaps years from now I'll start again, though by that time few will be still playing the game.  That's the sad downside to such a unique experience.  It can only last in a certain moment in time.  Ultimately, I'm glad that I got to play the game when I did, but I could still be playing if Nintendo would just allow external backups, at least for digital copies of games.  And yes, it's just a game, but I do feel slightly robbed of the full experience, especially since I really didn't have a bad word to say about the game itself.

So long, Peanut, Monique, Bones, Static, Klaus, Mac, Peck, and Daisy.

At least my town, as a dream in statis will always exist at: 4500-2150-5313

Now for some more Animal Crossing: New Leaf chicanery, with The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Version of Dr. Ivo Robotnik's trademark, standard issue dictator's Suit.  For optimal effect, name your town Mobius and roboticize your animal citizens.

In an effort to cater to a niche audience so small that I'm the only member, I made this custom design in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.  It's The Critic, Jay Sherman's trademark argyle sweater.  Now you can visit other towns and rant a bunch of unpopular opinions about how disappointing everything is.  You're WEL-come!

Kermit about to eat a [Pigs in] Space Cake

Knowing the Swedish Chef, I'd inspect the thing for rocket fuel before consuming.

Here's $200 - and fix everything!

Some denominations are indelibly linked to my childhood romps past Boardwalk Avenue.

Space Invaders Demand Quarters!

I was originally going to make the demanded sum a 100 yen coin, but I figured no one would get the reference to the coin shortage the original "Space Invaders" arcade game caused in Japan.

I imagine most of my own baby photos look like this.

Again, when cornered into starting an image chain on doodle or die, I randomly scribble until something ridiculous emerges without my conscious intervention.

Two Red Whales Popping out of the Water

Sometimes, I treat the caption as the last line of a story and work backwards, no matter how insane the trip is.
