Mac's Shack of Crap
 
Hello there,

I am going to post my aliens and robots and stuff from the dumb movie I'm making called "Jimbo Adventures In Space". I would like as much criticizm and suggestions as you can fit on this forum. I want to make these guys likeable, and I want people to help me out. So, here they are:

Jimbo


http://jimboworld.iwarp.com/pics/jimbo.gif
Jimbo Zinton is the main character in my cheezy movie. He is a Martian, and lives on the Caplital planet of the Berxunda galaxy, Xandox. All species on Xandox have a specific prechosen job field, and Martians have to work in the sanitation field. Great, huh?

Jimbo has hovershoes on. They allow him to hover(duh). Altough he doesn't know it, his antenna possesses special powers.




I'll post some more if you guys want me to.

Kaimana 07-05-2002 01:03 AM

Well if you want me to critisize then here i go.

First off jimbo looks great i dont think his looks need any change now what we got to know is the plot exactly what do you plan to put Jimbo through.:fuzconf:

Mac the Janitor 07-05-2002 03:54 AM

Thank you, Kaimana!

Okay, here it is:

The year is 2597 AD. Almost every business in the galaxy that means something is on Xandox. If you want to make your business big, Xandox's the way to go. But there is some downsides to being the capital planet of the galaxy. Population. You see, Xandox is the most crowded place ever known. Its population density is off the charts. So, the URF (Universal RoboForce) has decided to send a man named Badgi (pronounced BAD-GEE, not BAD-GUY) to look for a desolate planet suitable for colonization. Now, the robot RJ has been in the URF for twice as long as Badgi, and is severly dissapointed that he was not chosen to go on this mission. Instead, he gets to pick up trash on the highway. Oh boy.

(BTW I will tell you more about RJ soon)

Meanwhile, Jimbo Zinton wakes up in his humble RV spaceship. Now, Jimbo is a very unpopular young Martian (one of the nine Martians in the entire galaxy), so he wasn't exactly looking foward to going to school. All Martians were forced to be trained to be janitors. He gets out of his bed and goes to eat some cereal while watching TV. His favorite show, Clarkanium, starts. He loses track of time, misses the hover bus, and has to rush to school one his hover bike (as you can see, almost everything hovers ;) ). Rushing through the crammed, speeding traffic of hover cars, Jimbo notices the Universal Time indicator: 07:57 A.M. He could still make it in time.

Back to RJ now. He pointed his trash magnet at a can and it instantly stuck to the magnet. He threw it in the trash bag and trudged along to the next pile of junk. He aimed the stick at another can, clicked the magnet on, and- WHOOSH- something zooms past him, and his trash magnet gets stuck to it. The thing raced through traffic, bashing RJ against every hovercar it passed. RJ could feel his circuts overheating, his vision sensors fading. Before he knew it he was out like a light.

Jimbo parked his hoverbike sloppily in the slots next to Ingelbert Middle School and rushed inside to the elevator. He heard the elevator say, "Please state the desired floor."

"Floor 273," Jimbo slurred quickly.

"Now taking you to Floor 273. Please be patient."

Jimbo stood in the elevator, biting his lip and sweating like a pig. The annoying elevator music made it even worse. I better not be late, he thought, or Plazo's gonna kill me.

He finally heard the ding of the elevator and the doors slid open. He ran to the door marked MARTIAN.

"Jimbo Zinton," said Mr. Plazo, the teacher, "How wonderful of you to finally show up. Please be seated."

He sat next to the only other Martian in the room, and his best friend: Elwood. That's right, a class of two.
----------------------------------------------------------------
As Jimbo walked out of the school and over to his hoverbike, he noticed a sudden spark behind it. Oh no, he thought, but I just took it in to be fixed three days ago. Great.

But as he approached his hoverbike, he noticed something attached to the back. A broken robot. And not just any robot. A Universal RoboForce robot. There were fines against wrecking the circuts of one of those. Big fines.






So, do you like it so far? It's going to be an Adventure/Comedy. I know it's not funny now, but I left out a bunch. But eventually, Jimbo tries to bribe RJ with many electronic wonders to not sue him. RJ reassures him that it was not his fault, and pays him back by taking him for a ride in his spaceship that was built for battle. Unfortunately, Jimbo messes with the controls and they end up shipwrecked on a planet that they did not know with no food, no fuel, and no communication.

It's has a lot of elements of a buddy movie; there's the strict guy (RJ) and the goofball (Jimbo). I'm thinking of changing the name of the movie; the current title honestly sucks.

Please don't copy or use any of my ideas and/or characters. I've worked a long time with thinking up this plot; what I've told you isn't even half of it. If you did, I would be very dissapointed and sad. So please dont.

OK, I'm done boring you. That's basically the starting plot.

Mac the Janitor 07-05-2002 04:48 PM

These guys are OFFICIALLY gonna be in the movie
 
Here's RJ:

http://jimboworld.iwarp.com/pics/rj.jpg

He is called RJ because his model number is RJ695007ADJ. RJ used to be a top notch commander for the URF, but he recently quit for reasons I will tell you later. You see the green thing where his mouth is supposed to be? I guess it's sorta like the heart monitor thing, where the line goes *beep* *beep* up and down. That's how he speaks.

His arms have a hi-tech shrinking device in them, it shrinks and grows the items he nieeds to bring out or put back in. Anything can pop out and act like a hand- chainsaw, shields, laser gun, can opener, you name it. It's kind of hard to explain- I hope you get it.

He is strict, down-to-business, and has no sense of humor. And he's stuck with Jimbo.


Here's Badgi (BAD-GEE):

http://jimboworld.iwarp.com/pics/badgi.gif


Badgi is tired of his name. Everyone calls him Bad Guy like he is the bad guy of the movie. Yeah right! Hey, wait a minute! Hmm...

Badgi found a "desolate planet suitable for colonization", just like Kolestrein told him in the assigned mission. Everyone on Xandox loves him for it, and he is running for Planet Representative (like a president, but way better).


So...any suggestions or questions? Huh?

Majic 07-06-2002 08:50 AM

Pretty cool I guess. And I always thought your avatar was yoshi or something:| And I think Freeserers is pissed or soemthing...

Mac the Janitor 07-06-2002 05:15 PM

Thanks!

But why do you think freeservers is pissed?

Majic 07-06-2002 05:30 PM

Apparently, they don't like you hosting those pics... *giggle*

Mac the Janitor 07-07-2002 04:34 PM

AARGH!

I see what yer gigglin' about. :D

The pics worked on my home computer, but I went on another yesterday and it showed the stupid freeservers message.


Yar, yar yar...

I'll have to attatch them.

Mac the Janitor 07-07-2002 04:35 PM

One by one...

Mac the Janitor 07-07-2002 04:36 PM

Sorry, triple post...

dark_xinos 07-07-2002 08:38 PM

Not spaming sence you are attaching files.
I thought this forbidden text thing image was a joke saying something about the goverment not allowing alien pics. he he.

Mac the Janitor 07-08-2002 04:53 PM

Nope, 'twas only my stupidity and blindness.

Teal 07-12-2002 12:09 PM

Hehe, the little robot-bloke is cute. :D

Mac the Janitor 07-13-2002 08:31 PM

Thanks, Teal! :)

Hey, I just made this new guy, but I'm not sure if I'll include him in the movie.


Buzz

Buzz was created in the labs of the Universal RoboForce. The URF attempted to create a creature with razor-sharp senses. They combined the DNA of a Yoyo, which has impeccable senses of hearing and smelling but no eyes at all, and a Bungo, which has an amazing sense of smell and incredible eyesight which includes seeing in the dark. They wanted this new species to help out soldiers in combat by sensing the enemy from more than 10 miles away, but the tests failed. Little did they know that Buzz could pass the tests, but he simply refuesd because they would not feed him. So the URF tried to kill him and then dispose of his body without a trace, but Buzz survived. He lived on the streets, but nobody would take Buzz in because he was a freak...until Jimbo found him.

Here he is...

So, does anybody like him? Should I change something? Please post any suggestions or comments. I would greatly appreciate it.







P.S.: I am almost done with an animated short with Jimbo in it, and I will try to post it A.S.A.P.

Mac the Janitor 07-15-2002 10:37 PM

Oh joy...it's Bruce...
 
Okay, I made this guy up in my Math class (I was really bored). He is NOT in Jimbo's Adventures In Space. This is just a little cartoon strip thingy I do for fun.

Hope you like it!

(please reply!)

Mr.WaterySearex 07-16-2002 05:54 PM

ITS PERFECT DRAW MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT I LOVE UR DRAWINGS THATS LIKE THE SAME WAY I DRAW COOL DRAW MORE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!:D GOODJOB MAN

Mac the Janitor 07-16-2002 07:31 PM

Wow! Thanks! (you were being sincere...right?)

Here it is!

(drumroll please)

MY VERY FIRST ANIMATION!

Yay!

Now I know it sucks, but it's the best I could do. I'm only 13, so don't expect much.

187 frames of pure crap.

One of the major reasons it's crappy is that when I exported it to Quicktime, it got really choppy, the lines were jaggedy, and the sounds sounded weird. Trust me, it looks MUCH MUCH MUCH better when it's just in iMovie.

PLEEEEZ look! It took me a really long time!

I did all of the animation, all of the voices, and all of the music.

You will need Quicktime to play it. (That's the stupid program that crappetized my movie!)

So...do you like it? Please reply!

Mac the Janitor 07-20-2002 09:59 PM

Hey guys.

I made this pic yesterday, I guess it's like a movie poster.

Those are all of the characters that are going to join Jimbo (I'll probably make even more, though).

I was really bored.

Hope you like it.

EDIT: Sorry about the bad quality. I had to shrink it a bunch to attatch it.

quetzalcoatl 07-21-2002 01:00 PM

I really think your paintings are really nice. Especially Buzz.
I look forward to look of more paintings of you.

Mac the Janitor 07-22-2002 01:25 AM

Wow, really? Thanks a lot! :)

I like Buzz too. I like how friendly he looks.

Here's another:

Dominic Plazo- Plazo is Jimbo's teacher. Jimbo uses the time machine and accidentally befriends Plazo, not knowing he is his future teacher. All species have a prechosen job field on Xandox. Plazo's species (Spouter) goes into education and teaching, while Jimbo's species (Martian) has to be in the sanitation field (in other words, a janitor). The Spouters put their robotic arms on. Their miniscule flippers are unusable as teachers, so they control the arms in the interior of the elbow joint with their flippers (yeah, I know...like the sligs...). The robotic arms can stretch out, making it possible to swing from objects and are used for very efficent transportation. The spout on their heads allows them to propel small objects into the air.

Hope you like it.

(sorry about the jaggedy lines on the shirt, I was in a hurry)

thebomb372 07-22-2002 04:49 AM

i have quiktime but it dont work ill fix it

Majic 07-22-2002 05:09 AM

Cool, so when ya' going to start writing more of the story? Can't wait:)

quetzalcoatl 07-22-2002 04:14 PM

I think like Majic Abe! I look forward to see the story!

Sir Fuzzy III 07-23-2002 02:37 AM

it will suck
 
Geez! Mac, what the hell are they supposed to do? I bet it is going to suck like everything else you write about. Why are you writing about this stuff anyway nobody cares about so why do it.

Majic 07-23-2002 05:56 AM

Sir Fuzzy, I am sorry, but there have been replies to it, I'm sorry if either your interent is messed up or your just brain dead. i don't see any other works of Mac's currently either, so I don't get how you can judge. Unless you know him and the whole thing was sarcasm, your going to be banned. This is only your second post though, but you registered in May. I seriously hope your brain dead, I personaly like what Mac is doing here. Ingrate.

quetzalcoatl 07-23-2002 04:38 PM

Ke? Mac is good! Don't be mean. Really hope you got a screw lose!

Mac the Janitor 07-23-2002 06:08 PM

Thanks for standing up for me, guys!

I do know Sir Fuzzy in real life; he is actually one of my best friends (I was the idiot who convinced him to sign up here ;)). He is very nice usually, and we hang out together quite often. He was reffering to the 3D animated movies I show in my classes. Sir Fuzzy was just kinda kidding around, he does that a lot. I got a PM from him saying that he was sorry, and he really didn't mean it. So, Majic, you guessed right.

On a lighter note, WOW! I didn't know that you guys even liked it that much! Thanks for your support!:)

I am sorry that I can't type some more of the story right now, for I will be leaving quite soon for an orthodontist appointment. I promise that I will get the time to post some more here, though. Again, sorry.

Here's something I conjured up very very quickly last night:

General Kolestrein- He is the leader of the Universal RoboForce, and RJ's former boss. The URF is like the US Army for the universe, I guess. RJ was once in this organization, and had quite a high rank. Now he is battling the many conspiracies concocted by this so-called "noble and true organization."

Sorry about the crappiness of the pic; I was trying to get it done very quickly.

Mac the Janitor 07-23-2002 06:11 PM

Oh yeah, and here's the URF logo:

quetzalcoatl 07-24-2002 04:09 PM

Oh, sorry for that Mac, hope you didn't got angry.
I have said it, and I say it again, that's really nice pics you're painting.

Mac the Janitor 07-24-2002 04:34 PM

No, no, no. I'm not angry at all. Why would I be angry? I was just clearing things up. I am actually happy to see that you guys stood up for me.

Thanks again! I'm glad to see that I have some sort of an audience.

Okay, I know you guys want the next chapter, and I am constantly working on it. I have not finished it yet, so I will give you this for the time being. I will give a more in-depth description of the meeting in the Universal RoboForce Headquarters. I feel that I did not give enough detail.

---------------------------
General Kolestrein whipped his pointer at the display screen in the Universal RoboForce HQ meeting room. It displayed a map of Xandox with many colored dots and blobs on it. On one side of the elongated table there were five Phonoses, and on the other there were 5 robots specifically designed for military strategy. RJ and Badgi were sitting across from each other, Badgi looking quite smug, RJ looking very concerned.

"As some of you may know," started Kolestrein, "the population density of Xandox is growing larger and larger every month. We have tried many plans to reduce this extreme number, including the 2-child restriction law, but none of them have worked. So I have developed a new plan." He walked slowly around the room. "Now, some of you may say this plan is too risky, too dangerous. But I'm willing to take that risk."

"Can you please state this plan of yours, sir?" One of the younger Phonoses asked.

Kolestrein looked up thoughtfully for a moment. "I am going to send one of you on a mission. A mission to find a desolate, lifeless planet suitable for colonization. We will then slowly transport the people of Xandox to this new planet, and it will share the title of the capital planet of the Berxunda Galaxy."

"So wh-who did you find s-suitable for this mission, sir?" Asked a nervous military robot next to RJ.

"Someone in this room. Someone with twice the experience as everyone else, someone who keeps a level head in action, and has a strategic state of mind..."

Yes, he chose me! thought RJ. Okay, stay calm, act suprised...

"Badguy."

What?! Thought RJ. But I have 20 more years experience than him! This is a joke, isn't it...ha, ha, what a funny joke...

"Actually, it's Badgi," said Badgi. He pointed to his nametag profoundly.

"Oh, sorry," Kolestrein said embarrasedly.

"Excuse me, sir," said RJ, "but what mission did you assign me?"

"Ah, yes...what's your production number?" asked Kolestrein.

"RJ695007ADJ," RJ said nonchalantly.

"Let's see..." Kolestrein thumbed through the papers in his hand. "Ah, here we go..."

[and that's how RJ gets assigned the highway trash pickup.]
----------------------------------

Mac the Janitor 07-26-2002 04:28 AM

Okay, sorry for the double post, but here's the next chapter. I know it's really short, but I was running short on time. I will post the next one in 1-3 days.

-----------------------
Chapter 2: Circutry

Jimbo towed the robot home on his hoverbike, cautiously flying through congested traffic. As he reached his mobile home, Jimbo noticed his father's hovercar in the driveway. Oh great, he thought. I'm going to have to get around Dad.

Jimbo put his palm on the scanner and opened the door. No sight of Dad--he must be in his bedroom watching TV. Jimbo creeped to his bedroom, hiding the bucket of bolts behind his back, and palm-locked the door.

He got out his Cyber-Fixin' For Teens kit from under his bed and got to work. Jimbo had just got a new book called Bolts & Circuts for Nutheads.

As he worked and worked, minutes passed. Then hours. He kept working on the scrambled robot, until it was nearly 8:15. He heard a knock on his door.

"Jimbo, honey?" It was his mother. Oh joy. "Is it alright if I come in?"

"Umm..."Jimbo panicked. What could he say? "I'm...uh...throwing up."

"In your room? Why didn't you go to the bathroom?"

"Uh...I just couldn't hold it. I really had to blow chunks."

"Don't use that term in this house, Jimbo. Why can't I come in?"

"I...don't want you to catch what I have."

"Well, honey, it's time for dinner. Do you want me to transport it into your room?"

"Yes, please."

Jimbo went over to the hub installed in the corner of his room. A plate instantly appeared with dinner on it. He carried it over to the table and continued working.

At nearly 11:20, he heard another knock. This time it was Jimbo's dad.

"Ah, Jimbo?" He said.

"Yeah Dad?" said Jimbo.

"Your mother and I are going to bed. Lights out soon, alright?"

"Okay, Dad. G'night."

"Goodnight."

At once, the robot lit up. Finally, Jimbo thought.

"Wh-where am I?" It asked.

"Err...I'm Jimbo. I accidentally trashed you up on the back of my hoverbike."

"Really?"

"Yeah, sorry."

"No, it's alright. It was my fault. I am RJ695007ADJ. But you can call me RJ."

"Okay, RJ, can you stay under my bed tonight? I sorta don't want my parents to find out I did this."

"Err...sure..."

"Oh yeah, and one more thing--are you with the Universal RoboForce?"

"Yes, I am one of the higher commanders."

"Great..." Jimbo was almost certain he would get sued by this guy. And his family barely had any money to live in their small, dingy, old mobile home. I really dug myself into a ditch this time, he thought.
------------------------

So, whadaya think? I'll give you this picture, too; it's from the latest animated scene that I have finished for my movie. This time it's a Xandonian bed: It's voice commanded, and once you are fully enclosed in the bed, if you cannot sleep it will release a gas that will make you fall asleep. Hope you like it.

Mac the Janitor 07-28-2002 09:28 PM

Hmm...hello?
 
Platyquarks- These wildlife creatures are not found on Xandox, but on the lush, beautiful planet of Terquan. Platyquarks have a plate of bone covering most of their face, and they use it to fend off intruders as well as fighting for a female. Their six legs are equipped with extremely strong nails which they use to dig into the ground to find insects for dinner. They are highly mobile, but most live in herds on the grassy plains. The Platyquarks use their rattler as communication, since they were not born with mouths. To eat, they simply put one of their six feet onto the food and suck it up through the leg. Here is a picture.

Mac the Janitor 07-28-2002 09:31 PM

Here is a side picture.

thebomb372 07-28-2002 09:36 PM

haha that looks funny but I like it.

Mac the Janitor 07-29-2002 11:09 PM

Chapter 3: Bribery and Disappointment

Jimbo exited Inglebert Middle School with Elwood. They walked over to the hoverbike stands, mounting their hoverbikes. As the best friends took off, Jimbo turned the opposite direction.

"Hey Jimbo, our houses are this way," Elwood stated.

"Yeah, I know," said Jimbo, "I have to go pick up some stuff." He held the acceleration and sped off. Elwood noticed a cart attached to the back of Jimbo's vehicle.

--------------------------

As Jimbo sped through Xandox, he looked around for some decent stores. His eyes fell on a shop called Mac's Tech Shop. Hey, RJ might like that, he thought.

He went through the dirty automatic door. An electronic bell chimed from the top of the door, and a young guy slid out to the checkout counter.

"W'sup, I'm Jake. You want sumthin' or what?" said the boy. He had an extremely tapered head, his body was a slightly darker color than Jimbo's, and he was wearing a pair of retro blue glasses with three eyes staring back at Jimbo.

"Uh, no thanks, I'm just looking," Jimbo said. He looked around. It was a very dingy and dark room with piles of elecronical junk on many shelves. Jimbo walked over to a lower shelf on the right.

"Yo, dude, you gotta get that," said Jake. He came out from behind the counter. Jimbo glanced down to see that Jake had no legs. In their place there was a large hoverdisk.

"Uh...are you..."Jimbo stuttered.

"You thought it right, man. I'm half Limbon. My pop was a Limbon, my momma was a Martian. I'm a mixed up dude, man!"

"Right...so what's this?" Jimbo pointed at a small stick with wires sticking out this way and that.

"Hey, I don't really know, home fry. That's Mac's field. He's my brainy uncle, y'know what I'm sayin'?"

"Oh, okay...well, do ya think that a URF robot will like it?"

"I don't know, little green dude. Maybe...hey!"

"What?"

"Those military home dogs like all that old and amazing stuff, right?"

"Umm...I guess..."

"S'cool, s'cool. Come over here." Jake hovered over to a door that had and EMPLOYEES ONLY sign above it. Jimbo followed.

"Yo, my unc's not home yet, so we gotta be quick. This is his private projects, man." Jake pointed to a swiveling chair with many computer screens, buttons and wires surrounding it. "This," he started, "Is the Mactrix. Mac uses it to control life. He can create or modify anything in the entire universe. But I think he only uses it for some project he started in college, not for gettin' sweet stuff out of nowhere, y'know what I'm sayin?"

"Wow...that is pretty cool..."

"Yeah, but it's illegal, so keep your mouth shut."

"Okay...what is this?" Jimbo pointed to a large white box with a small door on the top.

"Dude, that's an ancient artifact. Mac found it deep underground, he says it's from like 700 years ago. He tweaked it so that it does something...I forgot what it was...pretty cool stuff, though."

"Umm...an artifact, huh? I'll take it."

A 30 minutes later, Jimbo had his cart full. He heard the electronic chime play, and looked over to the dirty door. A Limbon walked in.

"Dude, it's Uncle Mac!" whispered Jake. "Hide your cart, man. He doesn't want me to sell some of that stuff."

"Jolly good day, Jake," said Mac. He had a strange speech disorder that kept him from pronouncing r's. "Serving a customer, eh?"

"Yeh, yeh, j-just selling him normal stuff," stuttered Jake.

"Listen," whispered Jimbo, "If your uncle wants to keep these, then I probably shouldn't buy them."

"Naw, naw, you buy 'em, dude. I'll take care of it."

"Really? You promise?"

"Sure, sure. Here's the total." He pointed at the screen. Jimbo's jaw dropped.

"Umm..uh...lemme see..." Jimbo pulled out his wallet. "I've been saving up for some hovershoes for two years...oh, man...but...but...this is more important. I could get sued if I don't get this, and I'll be a disappointment to my parents...oh well, goodbye hovershoes..."
He sighed and pulled out his virtual cash card, scanned it, and saw the number on the card drop to zero. Jimbo trudged out, attached the cart to the back of his hoverbike, and sped off.

"Yo, lil' green dude!" Jake yelled, holding up a blue backpack. "You forgot your backpack!"

------------------------

As he reached his mobile home, he dragged the cart to the back door. He would have to sneak it in. He put his palm on the scanner and the door unlocked and opened. He tiptoed over to the back door, being as quiet as possible.

"Hey, son, how was school?"

Jimbo froze. It was Dad.

"Uh..h-hey, Dad," Jimbo said nervously.

"What took you so long? It's almost dinnertime."

Jimbo looked outside, only to see a purple and orange sunset. "Um...I was...er..." Think fast, think fast. "Iwasfixingamonitorwithmisterplazo!" Jimbo blurted out quickly. He hoped that his dad would be convinced. Please, please...

"Oh, okay, Jimbo. It's good to know you were helping someone out." Dad walked through the door into the kitchen.

Whew, thought Jimbo. Man, now I feel horrible. I have been lieing quite a bit to my parents these past few days, and they think I'm doing something good. But I could be costing us our house, our hovercar, and everything else we own. Oh, man.

Jimbo pulled the cart into his room. He opened his closet and brought RJ out.

"What's all this?" RJ asked.

"It's for you," answered Jimbo.

"Oh, really? Well, what did I do that was so special?"

"Well...ah...you know..."

"Oh, this is so I won't sue you, isn't it?"

"Well...er...yes."

"Don't worry, like I said before, it was my fault. I can't take all of this."

"Really?" Jimbo's eyes lit up. "So...I can just return all of this, and get my hovershoes! Yeah baby, YEAH!" He hopped up on the dresser and did a funky jig. RJ just rolled his eyes and went back into the closet.

--------------------------

The next day, Jimbo headed for Mac's Tech Shop after school, carrying the cart of electronic devices on the back of his hoverbike again. He raced inside, and lifted the extremely heavy cart up to Jake.

"I would like to return all of this," said Jimbo, struggling to keep the cart up.

"Hey, sorry dude, can't help ya there," Jake pointed to a sign. NO REFUNDS, it said. Jimbo dropped the cart on his foot, shocked. He trudged out of the shop again, and sped off to his house. Instead of hovershoes, those long two years of saving up were wasted on a pile of junk that he would never use. Why me, he thought. Why me?

"Yo, I almost forgot!" hollered Jake. "YOU FORGOT YOUR BACKPACK, DUDE!"

---------------------------

So that's Chapter 3. I hope you liked it.

Oh yeah, and here's some info on Mac and the Limbons:

Mac- Mac owns a little dingy shop on Xandox, and graduated from OASGHPU. Limbons are trained to be scientists and inventors. Mac invents many things, including the amazing Mactrix, which allows him to create, modify, or enhance any living or nonliving thing in the entire universe. Don't worry, though, he only uses it for scientific purposes (Top Secret, so shhhh!). Limbons can live for up to 200 years, but to live this long, they gradually lose their limbs. Mac is 120 years old, and doesn't have arms or legs. Jake is 52 (but that is equivalent to a human that's 14 years old), and only has his arms. Here's a pic of the two:

Sometimes, I ask myself who can have such a cute fancy. The characters and the colors look sporatic. That's exactly that what I like on these pictures. The drawings may look simple, but they have the perfect expression to the story. You know, the simpler your art is looking, the more fun you will have to draw them; and the more fun will people have to look at them.

You punctilious will see that some forumer tend to visit your topics automatically. To look if you have drawn a new cute picture.

BTW, I like that drawing "guys" very much.

Wow, thanks a lot, Alector! That means a lot coming from an extremely skilled artist such as yourself. I had no idea you liked them!

Okay, I don't like this picture at all, but here goes:

This is Bonndon. He owns Bonndon's Family Eats on Xandox. Jimbo and his parents went to his resturant on Jimbo's birthday, thinking that is was going to be a fun, family atmosphere. Turns out it's a skanky, grungy old bar. Although Bonndon himself is a very skilled cook, the Zintons leave and have three TV dinners instead.

Hey everybody I was just joking I hope I didn't offend anybody. You see Mac is my friend and I know him personally so I was just fooling around you see I didn't mean anything about it so I'm sorry if I made any type of inconvienence.

Hey, no problem, Zack. I already explained it to everyone.

I'm sorry guys, but I haven't gotten much time to write the next chapter, as I have been incredibly busy the past two weeks. All I can give you is this new robot guy I thought up. I'm not sure that I will use him; I want to know what everybody thinks of him first. So...do you like him?
