======Daily Deadnade 1======

//Daily Deadnade// is a gag-based comic strip making fun of all things Urban Terror. Its name, of course, is a tongue-in-cheek hommage to [[http://dailynade.com/|Engine’s site]] and does not imply a daily schedule (although this would be cool). A notable inspiration for //DDn// was BludShoT’s //u’ve been coned// from 2003, currently hosted at [[http://teamterrorwtf.com/ucone/|Team Terror WTF]].

These strips are originally posted in the somewhat-misleadingly titled DSWP Meme Archive thread, starting on [[http://www.dswp.de/old/screenshots/dswp-meme-archive-t3072-160.html|page 17]], but mirrored on the wiki for those avid fans who don’t have a forum account.

=====#1: Old Farts (2012-09-10)=====

What prompted this strip was Cookie’s request on IRC:

''**Sep 06 12:19:44 <LtCookie>	JRandomManiac: you should create a little dswp comic series with those graphics**'' \\
''**Sep 06 12:19:51 <LtCookie>	maybe 3-4 panels per comic**'' \\
''**Sep 06 12:20:41 <JRandomManiac>	there's a problem with that: over the past year and a half i haven't had a single idea suitable for a comic strip**'' \\
''**Sep 06 12:26:02 <LtCookie>	hmm**'' \\
''**Sep 06 12:26:13 <LtCookie>	that kinda sucks**''

As it often goes, someone showing interest gets your little lazy brain-gears turning, and a few days later I posted this. The character designs in the 2nd and 3rd frame are based on UrT 2.0; SR8 originally came in plastic blue-gray camo furniture (the pattern is wrong, in case anyone cares:-P).

=====#3: The Tao of UrT (2012-09-20)=====

{{fun:the-tao-of-urt.png}}

Yeeesss, I knooow, Taoism has nothing in common with neither Buddhism nor Hinduism yadda yadda. Just duck your head in water should your eyeballs catch fire upon seeing the fourth panel.



=====#4: How to Help Your Team (2012-10-16)=====

This strip is actually the first one I started, and follows the format I originally planned for DDn, copying the webcomic [[http://basicinstructions.net/|Basic Instructions]]. I gave up on this early on, realizing there’s no way I could create enough content if I limit myself like this.

//I imagine the “rapecock” funstuff as three meters long anatomically correct penis protruding from the character’s pelvis, with “Gunna Rape Ya” tattooed across its length in gothic font.//

//…did I hear Blender starting up? Crap.//



=====#5: Moves Like Monkey (2012-10-29)=====

Watch [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzLDNU4pFnE|this video]] if you wonder WTF is going on in the last panel.



=====#6: I Say, Most Entertaining Death (2012-11-03)=====

{{fun:i-say-most-entertaining-death.png|}}

Although this strip wasn’t consciously inspired by this, after writing the initial idea down I did find a chatlog quote in the same vein:

=====#7: Pure Unadulterated Evil (2012-11-16)=====

Disclaimer: FPS players are terribly superstitious; absolutely everything is known to lag either you or the server itself. As a rule of thumb, silly comic strips where the characters are telling horror stories around a campfire are not the best sources for hard data on network protocols.

=====#9: We Do Agree on Some Things (2012-12-05)=====

Yes, that’s a pointy-haired boss. No offense, Mrs. Yost:-P

UrT has never had a weight system, although there sorta-kinda were plans for one in the early days of the mod. The only item that (indirectly) affects your speed is kevlar, by halving your stamina. Back in 3.x when Negev was introduced, it indeed behaved the same way as kevlar — and having both equipped turned you into a CS player (har har). Negev was thoroughly remade for 4.0; in an attempt to reduce its horrendous power, it was nerfed too much, ensuring it’s effectively not used nowadays.

In case you haven’t heard it yet, the Frozen Sand download servers have been hosed since the night of .009 release, cutting off downloads at random moments, resulting in all kinds of fun glitches. The poor bastards using the updater don’t stand a chance, you need a download manager. FS seems to have mostly ignored the issue, because, you know, Christmas.
