Shifting Gears! | March 7, 2013

by Joe

Thank you all for waiting so long for this one! :D

Please expect and understand that future scenes will take just as long or even longer to produce and upload. Please follow me on Facebook, Twitter and RSS to stay updated on when I make new posts! :D

Now that I’m fully shifting gears to Green Pixel’s game art, I will be posting updates here about our games’ progress (ie. Dr. Vile and TPD2). I want to get these projects done so you guys can finally play them! :D

Also, for anyone who’s worried about The Pocalypse ending: stop worrying! :D The Pocalypse will not end until the story is over. Yes, updates will be slow but I don’t plan on stopping. On the contrary, I have some pretty ambitious plans for The Pocalypse and I expect to fulfill those plans, even if they take years to do :D As Confucius said, “It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.” Great words to work by :D

Enjoy Scene 16 – “Under Attack”!

Again, thank you all so much for sticking by The Pocalypse and I’ll work as hard as I can to make all your waiting worth it :D

Vote to see all the enemies that you’ll be facing in TPD2! Good luck to us humans! :D Please vote for The Pocalypse here everyday! Thank you for voting!

tuesday

blonde sisters own a farm, and they both buy a horse, they don’t know how to tell them apart, so the nick one’s ear, then the other horses ear gets nicked by a tree. Then they cut off one of the horses tails, a week later the other horse’s tail gets cut off by barbed wire. “Anything we do to one happens to the other, how will we tell them apart?” said the younger sister. “How about we measure them?” said the older sister. “Great idea!” said the younger one. So they measured them. It turns out the white horse is three inches taller than the black one.

I think he just wants to prove that he hasn’t forgotten about us.

I’m baaack! I am thinking Green Pixel should expand and add one more person to their “empire”.

Let’s sing a song, kids, shall we? – On the 83th day without updates, Author Joe gave to us, 83 days of no updates, 82 days of no updates, 81 days of no updates…… (please do not take this too personally, Joe, I will stay your reader (and gamer ; D), Green Pixel’s too awesome to neglect for me. Though I might consider marking the 100th day without updates and celebrate it with mourning and a Pocalypse Marathon. I really am capable, I stayed awake a whole 3 days watching all possible episodes of “Hellsing”.)

I’m really sorry I couldn’t donate to the project, and I really wanted to be one of the NPCs, too. And I also apologize for this long, meaningless post for the other commenters.

Over the very few years I have been introduced to the world of webcomics, this is one of the best of what I saw so far. I have seen webcomics stop updating entirely without notices (i keep checking them) despite their success. I do not want you, Author Joe, to be one of them. It is nice enough of you to comment once in a while, though. It proves that you are not dead and the Pocalypse will not turn out to never end. I hope that you can find some time to really get the Pocalypse back in order with regular, hm, not necessarily weekly, but monthly updates.

Don’t worry Eat, Joe isn’t going to let us down. Part of why he does pop in periodically is to remind us that he isn’t going to drop the comic anytime soon!

I hope that the episode or game is out by 6/11/13, who ever can tell me what the comment(s) that tells you why that specific date, (It is in an episode way back), Wins.

not sure why people can be so impatient sometimes.take as much time as you need Joe. And if people need a pocalypse fix that badly I could write something non-canon as long as there’s no objections to the idea.

Ok so this challenge applies to every one, In one episodes comments Joe said something about 6/11/13 I replied. So it’s your job to figure out what episode this conversation was in. And you must tell me the exact words of the conversation. Whoever can do this first wins. Plus you have to tell me why I like that day.

I think, Joe, you should do anything to make then next scene up,Because I like pixelated comics, so does the others.

Regardless of whether there are updates, I’ll still be checking years from now. I’ve known other sites go through 2+ years without an update, and when they return, the fans are still there, so I’m sure you’ll have plenty of people still checking when you do post the next scene.

Oh, and streaming might be awesome, but you’ll likely do it at a time when most people aren’t available. uStream will only take up as much of your bandwidth as Skype or the likes, and can easily be embedded on your site.

Live stream or no, I will keep on waiting for the next comic and the ones after that. Your work is worth the wait and you do it for free even. Even if it takes a year I will check in every day. And every time I see the walking zombie loader I get excited, thinking you updated lol. Thanks Joe, for all you do for us, your fans. You=awesome

Day 90:
Tuesday
A guy goes to a supermarket and notices a beautiful blonde who waves at him and says hello.
He’s rather taken back, because he can’t place where he knows her from, so he asks, “Do you know me?”
To which she replies, “I think you’re the father of one of my kids.”
Now he thinks back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and says, “Oh my god, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I laid on the pool table with all my buddies watching, while your partner whipped me with wet celery and then stuck a carrot in my butt?” She replies, “No, I’m your son’s math teacher.”

Day 98:
A blind millionaire went on a trip in his private jet. At 20,000 feet the pilot called him into the cockpit to tell him he was feeling ill and had chest pains. Suddenly the pilot keeled over with a heart attack. The blind man panicked as he felt the plane nose-diving and rocking violently, so he dragged the pilot out of his seat and strapped himself in. After a lot of frantic fumbling around he located the radio and called into it: “Mayday! Mayday!” Ground control heard the call for help and inquired what the problem was. “I am blind and alone in a plane, the pilot had a heart attack and I’m flying upside down. Mayday! Mayday!” Ground control said: “Calm down, sir. Just to clarify, you are blind, is that correct? If so how do you know you are flying upside down?” The blind man replied: “Because I can feel my shit running up my back!!”

Okay guys, I think it’s about time we got over it:
Joe gave up The Pocalypse. Since it failed gaining any funds and money, he ain’t working on it anymore. Had people paid up, he would’ve probably continued, but he ain’t. So move on.

Some good other web comics to follow are:
LookingForGroup
GoblinsComic
TwoKinds
BearNuts
SDamned

Have a nice day ya all. This site ain’t be updating again, because Joe is not getting dem monies from us. Just go somewhere else. Last flash was 07/03/13 : 3 MONTHS AGO. There’s no excuse – he’s not working on it no more.

Go somewhere else. This site is now removed from my favs, because by comming to this site and seeing the adverts, he’s getting cash for something he ain’t doing.

See you all.

now we are fast approaching 3.5 months of waiting for a single episode. I hope the episode coming out is beyond expectations, otherwise this will end up being the last I end up coming to check on ThePocalypse.

@brendan do us all a favor and stfu, if you dont want to wait, then dont wait. go so something else, but idle threats about not coming back to check the web comic that is provided free of charge to you? thats just low rent. suck a rail road spike.

For those that are upset I suggest re-reading Joe’s last update where he warned us all that future updates are going to be very delayed due to real life stuff. If you want to donate enough money that he can quit his job, support his family, and spend his time making you comics go for it. I’m sure he would love it lol. Otherwise check in and move on just like the rest of us. When he updates it will be good enough for me. Joe – Thanks for an awesome webcomic and all the work you are doing to bring us games based in your universe :)
