The Symbol Life | mrsmiley { August 06, 2005 }

You've got to check out this fresh new webcomic by long-time HBN forum-goer, Murph MacManus! Murph recently informed me that he has been using his LiveJournal account as a hub for a clever new web comic series that revolves around the use of "symbol people" (you know, the kind you see on restroom signs?).

The strips are not all entirely Halo related, but many do relate to gaming. I think this one is one of the funniest so far - it had me rolling! Be sure to swing by the main page and tell Murph what you think! It's an honor to see one of the original members of this community striking off on his own webcomic endeavor. The best of luck to you!

You really have to wonder what they're thinking. Free publicity is a GOOD thing..Well, it's gonna be HBN soon. And we will all give up our last names.

Wow, what a zinger! You're right though, Microsoft is just being a little too possessive of "their" creation. (In quotes because Bungie really made it)

Damn straight, johhnyrico. Absath gets this idea that because he has a girlfriend and can draw he must be some kind of internet celebrity. One time, i emailed him about a picture not showing up on the website, and asked if it was a mistake in the code. then he got all indignant on me. What an asshole. Murph, you've got another fan.

very original;)

yeah jebus, he's just a megalomaniac who gets too much donations.
especially for crap plots of a completely retarded gaming addict who somehow manages to urn his Xbox into a sentient robot and the robot turns crazy.

to hell with absath, the people who donate to that ass should stop making him filthy rich and donate some more to halobabies.
