New DaDOTT Comic for Your Eyes

January 8th, 2008 by scummbuddy | Posted in Maniac Mansion Fan Art, Maniac Mansion | 1 Comment »

It seems the Day after Day of the Tentacle web comic is not dead and has recently been updated with another comic. (And on a side note, no, Maniac Zombies is doing just fine.) Michael Nusair has now made his 80th DOTT fan-comic and they’ve been a treat to read. Whenever he posts a new comic, he never puts the title with it, so I have to make one up when I put it in the viewer on the right. (I guess I could just email him…), but in any case, my title for the second-to-latest one is incorrect. To find out the sweet pun, you’ll just have to check out his archive on his site…. or wait until I’ve edited and uploaded the new DaDOTT viewer.

On more sadder and unexpected news, World of Monkey Island, the MI fan-site that hosted the videos I shot of the Monkey Island play, has decided to hibernate. I mean, when The Scumm Bar went into hibernation, it rocked the community, but to see WMI go, wow, that rocked me. I am glad to see that Mojo has stepped up in transforming the site into further showing that it is more than just [ex]LucasArts games oriented.

Terror in Aisle Five - Maniac Zombies Version 3

Dr. Ed Edison has been futzing around with the “Day After the DOTT” viewer over to the right and sometimes clicking around through the comics, you’ll lose the ability to scroll. I’m having Benjamin Franklin look into it.

There will be minor changes around the site that will be silently rolled out. I hope information that you want is around. Within the long downtime I have been supplied with many emails with additional information related to all of the games covered here at MZ, and I will be posting those, along with due credit, shortly.

Thanks again to all that come to ManiacZombies. I hope you like the new look.

Zombies Ate My Wii!

Alright, so I hadn’t gotten to get a Wii-joke on the net yet, so sue me for taking so long. Good news, though, because it sure does look like Zombies Ate My Neighbors is coming to the Nintendo Wii’s Virtual Console with ZAMN getting an ESRB rating. No confirmation has been made by either Konami or LucasArts at this time, but it is most likely coming before the end of this year.

And if you can’t wait to play a Zombies game, the recently released “Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia”, which I’ve mentioned several times here, certainly does have the simliar taste of ZAMN, and I’ve been having a blast with it.

Thanks to Cid Dral for the news submission.

Where did my cursor go?

Just know that I am diligently working on taking Maniac Zombies to “LEVEL 3″ when I can in my spare time. I have high hopes for what I want the new style to look like and hopefully can have it go live with updates someday before the new year.

Oh, and the point of the headline is that there is work going on behind-the-scenes, such as implementing a new cursor to relate back to the good old days, yet, Firefox is adamant against custom cursors no matter what I’ve tried, so I suppose this site is more optimized now for IE6.
