Let’s Rate Content!

on 2019/06/08

The other day, while hopelessly scrolling through titles on a major video streaming service (rhymes with “flamazon grime”), I kept coming across movie and television show selections that offered no rating.

At the time, I found it annoying.

That’s when I realized content ratings can be useful. And so,
voilà!: False Positive‘s content ratings:

RATED TEEN – May contain mild violence, mild horror creature imagery, language and/or suggestive themes. Think PG-rated movies like Spirited Away, Star Wars: A New Hope, ParaNorman, Monster House, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Beetlejuice, and Twilight Zone: The Movie.

RATED TEEN PLUS – May contain some violence, gun violence, mild profanity, moderate horror creature imagery, moderate body horror imagery, and/or suggestive themes. Think PG-13 or 80’s-PG-rated movies like Dune, Gremlins, Poltergeist, Jaws, Red Dawn, Dragonslayer, Temple of Doom, and Princess Mononoke.

RATED MATURE – May contain intense violence, graphic horror imagery, drug use, partial nudity (butt nudity), some profanity, and/or mature themes. No full nudity. No sexual situations. Think R-rated movies like The Thing, Alien, Pan’s Labyrinth, Final Destination, Event Horizon, The Fly, Slither, Evil Dead 2, Creepshow, and Scanners.

So, what do you think?

Helpful?

Pointless?

You really just want to know when False Positive starts up again?

Under Construction

on 2019/04/11

If you’ve been here before, you might have noticed some changes to the design of the website.

The updates were way over due and unavoidable.

Some issues are still being ironed out.

In the meanwhile, if you’re experiencing difficulties with the update to the traditional reading format, here’s an alternate way to enjoy some of the stories:

FP Status Update

on 2018/10/31

Happy Halloween!

So, back in July, I decided to take a break from producing FP.

It’s been horribly wonderful.

Back in July, I had so many lofty goals: Research/Launch a Kickstarter for a book, revamp the website, write, and decompress.

In the months since then, I’ve been able to write a ton and do a fair amount of decompressing, but not much else. Too many distractions have made it easy to put off working directly on FP. My computer gave up its ghost, I injured my arting hand, I injured my back, I’ve had to unexpectedly travel for work, and on top of that stuff, I’ve contended with all the rest of life and the world.

When it comes down to it, making False Positive takes a ton of time. I probably could have carved out some hours for FP, but I didn’t. I’ve failed to make it a priority because I’ve been enjoying the many hours freed up for other pursuits.

When I started FP, I was full of passion for the project, but right now, I feel like I’m still a little out of gas for making the sequential art. Or at least, I’m much more excited to write than I have been to make the art.

So, for the next few months, I want to focus on making some art that isn’t sequential. If I follow through, I’ll share that stuff and any other progress on FP via Patreon.

And when I’m ready, I’ll start making False Positive again.

Cheers!

Big Mike
