Golden Vuvuzelas – Forlan Super Campeones

July 16th, 2010 IRA

Ok, this was awesome. I specially loved the part when Suarez jumps to stop the ball. Really this drama do fits in Captain Tsubasa.

Maybe the author of that manga can get some cool ideas from Uruguay’s exciting matches on the World Cup.

The World Cup ends. Spain is the champion

July 12th, 2010 IRA

The title says it all. Congratulations Spain!

Now it’s time for me to resume some personal projects. I love the World Cup, but my productivity on my hobby projects decreased a lot as I had feared. Oh well, nothing to be too worried about.

www.iragination.com

February 22nd, 2010 IRA

The past week I switched over to iragination.com. As usual I’ve been so busy that once the move was done, instead of making some announcement I just focused my attention on to something else.

Ok, there was actually some other thing I felt it need to be solved before making any sort of announcement. To get the new domain properly indexed on search engines. You may consider this superfluous, but I really took care to make the switch in order to make it easy for search engines to detect the change, so I really want this to be working too.

So, after a week, and after doing the relevant site submission and stuff, here are the results so far.

Bing: Perfect

Yahoo: Winner

Google: Failure?

This one is funny because Google offered me at least three times the tools Bing and Yahoo have to report such domain changes and yet it is underperforming. Maybe Bing and Yahoo are not as big as Google so they have a better time reacting to these changes. Maybe they don’t care. I don’t know.

Usually I’ll let this pass and wait for it to solve itself someday. After all I can’t underestimate the weight of years of referrers and links to my old domain. But when Bing and Yahoo are doing a better job updating their indexes, I can’t help but keep bugging Google about it until it gets this sorted out.

Well, I’m making this post to help Google a bit. Maybe they’ll catch the hint.

Hey Google, look: www.iragination.com

Mega Man Zero Collection for DS

January 15th, 2010 IRA

Capcom opened a japanese site for this project.

This is all nice and good, but then I noticed something.

High quality versions of some of the cutscene game artwork. Here’s a quick site rip.

This would be great if it weren’t because this is the very reason I get books like Mega Man Zero Complete Works. Unfortunately that book contains the same tiny pixilated game artwork, and not high quality versions like these ones.

Are we ever going to get all these pieces of artwork at high quality?

Años viejos 2009 part 2

December 31st, 2009 IRA

The past weekend there were already plenty of Años Viejos in the city so I took some pictures.

This time I am being more selective so I’m not posting that many.

I had a lot of inconvenient doing this post. I don’t know what changed in WordPress recently but the past year the new gallery feature was incredibly useful and set up a post like this one was a breeze. Today, after uploading all the pictures, and thank goodness they were just a few, I had to “add” every picture again from the Media Gallery to the post in order to show it up in the gallery tab. The gallery tab was not showing at all before the second “add”. That was rather counterintuitive and annoying.

I was hoping to use this feature a lot, but please WordPress developers, you had this sorted out. Leave it as it was or add some bulk functionality, otherwise browsing the Media Gallery again for every picture one by one is really discouraging.

Rants asides, Happy New Year for everyone!

Años viejos 2009

December 31st, 2009 IRA

I have a tight schedule today, but at least I’m publishing this one.

The little one is obviously Mega Man. The larger one is X, but is it the X3 armor or the X2 one?

Update: Now that I think of it, seems like the ultimate armor.

Did you notice?

December 21st, 2009 IRA

When I was drawing the first frame of Meet Sheep Man, I was thinking on some scene from the Mega Man X3 opening.

I couldn’t resist so today I checked out how close I got to the real thing. Here are the results.

I kind of nailed X’s stance, but Zero is way far on the right. Honestly I don’t think I’d have used that. Also in the game the image is flipped horizontally. Probably I could have done a better work by actually watching the scene while drawing, but as sudden as the whole idea was at the moment, I thought I already achieved the dramatic feeling with the ‘zomg extreme’ armors and seriousness, so I just went on with the rest of the strip.

BTW, The Mega Man Network found my comic. Neat!
