Sirs and Misses!

The Impossible Quiz Book: Chapter 3 is completed, and will be released very soon... once I have a release date for it i'll post it on here. I've stripped it down a bit after Chapter 2, so expect the following:

- You'll be jumping from different eras in time! From the Stone-age, to World War II
- Catastrophes have been (mostly) scrapped. Seemed like too much effort for something that only a small handful of people will ever bother attempting.
- Originally, you were going to get a Lifebuoy and a Skip as your powerups in Chapter 3, but after realising that the Lifebuoy wasn't exactly great, i've decided a Fusestopper and a Skip will be more fun.
- It's probably not as good as Chapter 2, because lets face it... that was AWESOME haha!
- This is the last Impossible Quiz ever, and when you complete it you'll know you've finished it for good :p

Anyways, I'll keep you posted.

I've been in the LittleBIGPlanet 2 Beta for the last couple of weeks, and haven't been able to speak about anything at all to anyone. But they've just lifted the NDA and we're now allowed to talk about it!

IT'S AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

I made a Micro Machines level, and I think it's pretty awesome. B-) Some kind soul has uploaded a video of it here: [link]

I also made a Creatinator gun that fires eyeballs that stick together in clumps, a semi-functioning Katamari, a lovesick space monster that vomits hearts, and remade the LBP1 Pod music using the Music sequencer. This game is amazing. You will not believe what you can do with it...

Anyway, as I can now talk about it... if anyone wants to ask me anything about it, I can answer you.







Here's some screenshots of other things i've made! This is Lovesick, the eternally heartbroken space monster. I made her for flying machine competition, so spent quite a bit of time creating her. She vomits hearts! :love:



BLUUURRRGH!


And this is how she's made. Oh god. So messy. I am a messy creator:


Also, here's a creatinator (an emitter for your HEAD) that fires out sticky eyeballs:

EDIT: Whoops, apologies for the uhhh... "technical hitches", but the the quiz should be working now. Have fun!

DOUBLE EDIT: Haha bear with me, the game STILL isn't working. If you've managed to get it to load, you're actually playing a really old incomplete version... so I suggest you stop playing =p

FINAL EDIT I SWEAR: It really is working now. CLICK HERE: [link] [link] [link]

If you come across any bugs, then i'd be grateful if you could let me know. I'm already aware of one involving a FREE LIFEBUOY... YOU DON'T GET THEM FOR FREEEEE

OK, so here's the situation... Chapter 2 has a new release date: September 10th.

Now I know some of you may be disappointed, but moaning and whinging doesn't make the situation any better. It's only 2 weeks away, so forget about it for the time being and it'll creep up on you without you even realising (LIKE A COUGAR! BUT MINUS THE SHREDDING AND THE MAULING)

The reason it's been moved back is because i'm making a few MODIFICATIONS. The biggest of which is seperating the two Chapters into seperate .swfs. When I started the IQB last year, the idea was to add all of the chapters into the same file. However, as it stands, Chapters 1 and 2 weigh in at a borderline obese 17mb. Now imagine that with Chapter 3 cobbled on! It'd be over 9000mb!

So anyway, that's why it's delayed. Obviously this means you won't be able to carry over Chapter 1 powerups into Chapter 2 any more. But that'll just make things harder for you guys, which is good! :p

On top of seperating them, it means I get an extra 2 weeks to polish it off even more than it is now. So what you'll end up with is a much better quiz, that'll load faster, but you don't get the skip and fusestopper from Chapter 1. Ain't so bad is it.?

Chapter 1 will be distributed to other sites on release date too. I'll keep you posted.

SPLAPP OUT! :la:

Yeah, so it looks like Chapter 2 is going to be delayed a little i'm afraid! D:

I got an email earlier from E4 saying they hadn't had chance to playtest it yet, so until they have i'm afraid it won't be released!

I'm hoping it'll be up tomorrow, but at the moment I don't know. I shall keep you posted!

It's a lovely summers day. You are sitting in a grassy field with your book of Impossible Quiz answers, minding your own business, licking your unmentionables... then suddenly out of nowhere a fleet of blue, stinking alien bastards come along and kidnap you and your beautiful red book using some kind of arcade claw-machine-claw.

When I say "you", I actually mean "Chris". Those of you that finished Chapter 1 of the Impossible Quiz Book will know about the DREADFUL cliffhanger I left you with... well finally, after WAAAAY too long, I can finally announce that the video-game themed second chapter of the Impossible Quiz Book will be released on August 23rd 2010! B-)

So we're handing it over to the Phlovomites for this chapter! Thrown in a cell aboard the Phlovomite mothership, things are not looking good for Chris. That is until a mysterious green creature named Norman in the cell next door points out a dusty old organiser thingy in the corner of your cell. Turns out it's a copy of "The Phlovomite's Guide to the Galaxy", a book which contains every piece of information every Phlovomite in the universe has and ever will know. So this just might be your ticket out of here... maybe :p

BATTLE THROUGH 50 TECHNOLOGY AND VIDEO-GAME THEMED QUESTIONS!



IN THE STYLES OF 4 VIDEO GAME ERAS! MONOCHROME, ZX SPECTRUM, 8-BIT AND MODERN DAY!



FEATURING "BOSS" MINIGAMES, INCLUDING PHLOVOPONG AND PAC-FRANK!



AND LOADS MORE SURPRISES!



HOMAGES AND PARODIES OF THINGS.



AND I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE



So there. It was a long time coming, but it's nearly here. And I can promise that it's harder than Chapter 1. It's a bit different to Chapter 1 and the other quizzes, but I think you'll love it. So long as you like video games =p

SPLAPP OUT.

Psst... screenshots are subject to change. You won't have all the powerups unlocked for starters :p

The Impossible Quiz 2 is now out on iPhone for the low low low LOW price of 59p/$0.99! Go and BUY IT! [link]

However, i'm a little disappointed because there appear to have been QUITE a few changes from what i've played of it. Not all good changes either:

- Most of the keyboard based (Frank Says etc...) questions have gone. Understandable really, with the touch screen.

- For some WEIRD reason, they changed the answer to question 22 from "Pink Clouds" to "Cotton Candy". What the hell. Cotton Candy is just the american name for Candy Floss, and therefore the question now is just stupid.

- Other questions which have mysteriously vanished (and i'm not sure why):
  - 27. The Search question with the bombs.
  - 42. Gingerneck's epic "Punch Pig Buster in the face" question is GONE!
  - 50. The Badly Drawn Dawg question is gone. Why, I have no idea.
  - 54. Put the ACTUAL mouse on here.
  - 56. Burnt Face Duck
  - 66. The Ponk!
  - 67. The 3rd Maze. (It was really hard, so I guess that's ok :p)
  - 76. AIDS question
  - 95. Ascending (Possibly because of the dead rabbit B-))
  - 97. Fried Eggs and Carrots
  - 99. Red Balloon question.
  - 100. Switching off the Universe
  - 110. Click the red square
  - 112. Feeding Chris
  - 114. Brushing Chris' Teeth

- The missing questions have been replaced by BRAND NEW ONES! But I didn't make any of them - they vary in quality from being excellent (The eskimo one is genius - made me laugh), but there are also a fair share of bad ones (either too easy, overly American or just... bad :/)

- The order of some of the questions has changed.

- They've added the most irritating screaming and cheering sound effects when you get to a new highest question. Seriously, they're horrible. They're not funny, and I actually cringed when I heard them. It's such an American thing to do :p

- Moron Marks - these were added to the first iPhone version too. They're basically CHECKPOINTS. I just don't like them. It's meant to be the IMPOSSIBLE quiz. Adding checkpoints to it removes 90% of the challenge.

But anyway, apart from that the guys at inXile have still done a really good job porting it. And it's still a great little portable version of the quiz to have in your pocket. But to me, the free Internet version will always be the definitive Impossible Quiz: [link]

OK, so I know that a lot of you like the Impossible Quiz, and a lot of you post comments on my page asking questions about it and stuff. So... i've set up the IMPOSSIBLE QUIZ GROUP so you can all go THERE to ask things instead :p

:iconthe-impossible-quiz: <--- It's here, and it's open for anyone to join.

I'd like this page to focus more on my art and stuff, so if there are any questions or anything Impossible Quiz related, i'd rather you ask on the group page.

I'd also like people who have made their own Fan quizzes to contribute them to the group gallery. I know a lot of people have made them, and it'd be nice to get them all together in one place for people to see. :thumbsup:

So, Doctor Who! B-)

Who saw Matt Smith's first outing on Saturday? Was a little unsure of him at the end of the Christmas special, but after seeing his first full episode i've come to a conclusion: He makes a brilliant doctor. :thumbsup:

Thought it was a great opening episode - probably my favourite series opener so far. The way he met his new (delicious) comapanion was very different... in a good way, and Prisoner Zero in his real form was actually kind of creepy/cool looking for an opening monster. Better than the previous series anyway (Autons - meh, Cassandra and diseased people - meh, Old woman with a straw and space rhinos - meh, Adipose - OH COME OOOON). I'm loving the new TARDIS too, it's BEAUTIFUL! Much better than that piece of tat he used to have.

So yeah, liking Matt and Karen('s legs) so far. And with the 'Moff now in charge, i'm sure it'll be one hell of a series. The only thing i didn't really like was the new theme tune (love the new titles though) but I think it will grow on me. It's probably just because i'm so used to the old one lolollo.

Anyone else have an urge to see what fish fingers and custard taste like? I know I do :woohoo:

Tomorrow night I shall be uploading a huuuuge piece of art I started way back in September last year. It's called Spatulons vs. Phlovomites and it's the 'sequel' to Phlovomites vs. Spatulons which I did in 2005:



It's the biggest piece of art i've ever done, and I must have put hundreds of hours into it. I'm pretty excited to get it finished, because I love how it's turned out (basically a million times better than Phlovomites vs. Spatulons :o) This one takes place on the planet Phlovos - the Spatulons are invading, probably as revenge for the Phlovomite invasion in the original artwork. One of the most interesting things about it is how much the two characters have evolved over the years, gradually changing... evolving... without me actually intending to do it.

So, back in 2004 after looking through (and thoroughly enjoying!) one of my old Where's Wally books, I thought to myself "Wow, i'd love to try and do something like this! But with ALIENS! HAHAHAA." And so, I started scribbling ideas... I wanted the two races to be an almost complete contrast - one race had to be a horrible race of WAR BEASTS and the other had to be a rather stupid, docile looking alien with big fat lips. And so the Phlovomites and Spatulons were born... behold, my original designs for the two aliens:



BY GOD SIR, they look HORRIFIC. They look like the visual equivelant of a KICK UP THE ARSE. B-) BLURRGH. I ARE VOMIT. So anyway, as the years have gone by, these designs have evlovled gradually into something much better looking in my opinion. The Phlovomite, not so much... but the Spatulon has changed immensely. Take a look at a spatulon from "P vs. S" compared to a Spatulon in "S vs. P":



As you can see the snout has become shorter, the chin-strap on the helmet has been thrown out the window (mainly because it was too fiddly to draw, and it always seemed out of place) and they're shorter with a pot-belly. Much more appealing to look at :p However, to be honest... one downside of the newer designs is that they've kinda lost the "RARRGH WAR BEAST" image a little. =p On to Phlovomites...



They've evolved much less, but there are still a few obvious changes. The main difference is the lack of nostrils. There came a point where I just stopped drawing the nostrils altogether... they just seemed to look better without them. More streamilined, i guess :p They also evolved a Jetpack, fairly recently. There was ONE phlovomite in the original picture with a jetpack (see if you can spot it :D). I just thought, "If he can have one, why can't they all?" And so it happened. Also dropped the green warts - they didn't really do anything.

Well that's about it. Just thought it was pretty interesting... you may or may not feel the same way lolol :p So keep an eye out sometime tomorrow night (probably fairly late on GMT) for the new artwork. I've put so much effort into it... hope it was worth it :D

One last thing. Can people please, please, please stop asking about Chapter 2 of the IQB. It will be ready when it's ready... just forget about it for the time being, and i'll make an announcement when I have a date for it. Here's a screenshot to keep you busy until then:

GREETS.

I know things are a bit slooooow at the moment, but i'm still alive.

I've got two things in the works at the moment, both involving Phlovomites (and to a lesser degree, Spatulons). The first is a huge piece of artwork which is nearing completion and looks a little bit like this: [link]

The second is the next Chapter of the quiz which looks a little like this: [link]

I know some of you are really eager to play it, but just bear with me and it'll be done when it's done. It'll be amazing if I take my sweet time with it and get it COCK ON, trust me ;p Better than a rushed half-arsed quiz, that's for sure! Lololol.

I've also got an idea for a new Flash movie rattling around in my head, which would be pretty AWESOME. But first things first.
