WOO! Happy New Year!!! it’s like you’re living in the future, AdM (let us know how it is)!!! celebrate with these shiny, new, 2011 Shades of Firsting:
😎
Oh great gods of all things good and geek… This is going to take some 1337 skills…
Either that guy (1) was genetically engineered, (2) is Batman, or (3) plays Donkey Kong waaaaaaaay too much.
And, yes, greetings from the future! So far, it’s full of fireworks.
Hope everyone has a great year.
Maybe 2011 will be the setting for my Grand Bothering Tour of the USA… I hope so. ^_^
Whatever the future brings; I send my best thoughts and wishes to everyone here & all their loved ones. Take care.
Hugs and kisses to all from your friendly neighbourhood deviant. xXx
OMG i love this one! Jeff and Will look scared. But I have no fear! I know they are going to rock it out.
Everyone have a happy and SAFE New Year. I will be sitting home, drinking my lil champagne and wine and eggnogs and going to be about….12:15 or so? And I’m ok with that.
yep, Team WheatZee are all kinds of shaken up, Pixie, but hopefully they’ll come through!
hope you had a happy and safe New Year, too! i had a sip of champagne at midnight, but it was mostly rum and cokes for me. and i’m not even sure what time i finally slept. i think it was 8:30am(!) – but then had to get up an hour and a half later. still recovering. 😀
Happy New Year, Jefbot & Co.! I have faith in the combined power of jefbot and Wheaton. The enemy of my enemy…
I’ll see you guys from the other side of the pond! It’ll be so weird to have to adjust my daily internet browsing to compensate for American posting times!
Enjoy your New Years, and to anyone checking now and planning on going out tonight, don’t forget AAA has their FREE towing service (for you AND your car) if you have too much to drink – you don’t have to be a member, either!
thanks, Myth! happy new year back atcha, especially in light of your big move! don’t worry, though – there are lots of JEFbot readers across the pond, so if you need any help adjusting, i’m sure someone over there will be happy to help you out. 🙂
Just gorgeous, bot. Really amazing. I love the graphics on the video game. I love how you set everything up so there actually is tension between the two teams. I’m fully invested. I certainly hope Bot and Wil win. They better cause I have $1,000 riding on this game. 😉 Happy New Year, brother!!!
Happy New Year! I’ve got four hours left before it’s really the new year for me, but I’m going out dancing in skanky clothes, and won’t be around here for the official change. 😉
Dang, look at bot’s eyes! One’s bigger than the other! That’s awesome! But Maker’s breath, that’s a scary high score. This might not end well for Team Bot…As long as he gets the chance to b*tchslap Pinky, that would be good. Grrrr.
Pinky’s brother certainly does, o0Edit0o! hopefully bot and Wil will have some skillz to match (but judging from their expressions, it doesn’t appear likely.)
SRRY 4 this, but HOLY *bleep* THAT WAS SO AWESOME New year celebration
And yeah, they are doomed, so doomed, but maybe they would be able to secretly break the machine before breaking the record, and the “Kong-off” will be moved so they can get some training done (they need it against this guy)
Happy New Year! I hope everyone is doing well and is hangover free this morning. Have a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2011. 😀
I hope that Jefbot and Wil are both pretty good at DK and Pinky is terrible, cause that seems to be their only hope! They’ve gotta show up Pinky! The little @$#%^. 😛
happy 2011, shanna! wishing you and your family a “happy, healthy and prosperous” 2011, too!
fortunately, i didn’t wake up with a hangover – mostly because i barely slept, but drinking lots of water and not pounding the alcohol as much this year helped, too!
yep, that’s probably their greatest hope – that Pinky won’t contribute much to the score and that Wil ‘n bot’s combined scores can compete with Pinky’s bro. actually, correction: that’s probably their only hope. 😉
I call BS. No way a young whipper-snapper like that is going to PWN Donkey Kong like that. The only people I know that were that good at Kong have arthritis already.
seriously? ever go to a Dave and Busters? Chuck E. Cheese’s? log into XBOX Arcade!? WiiWare? DSiWare? show a kid Super Mario Bros. on a Gameboy? the simple gameplay is what kids love about these games!
ha! if Wil ‘n bot have “Wonder Nerd Powers” i hope they can each change into something more impressive than a pail of water and a bird. heheh. glad you liked the strip!
I’m glad you thought that was funny. I also assume that you’ve been busy over the weekend. Too busy to put the new strip up today, or at least when you usually do. (and, hopefully, busy organizing more of your new house including certain game systems)
Attention. Please ignore most of my previous comment about Tuesday’s strip being late for I am a forgetful and sometimes inattentive person. That and long holidays tend to really f with my bio-clock. Thank you and have a nice day.
Well, that’s just, what? beating the game one and three quarters times? That’s uh…. do-able. Although, my only knowledge of the game comes from playing it on Donkey Kong 64, I managed (after a few dozen tries, give or take a hundred) to beat the game in a single life. If Pinky isn’t very good, then JB and Wil just have to be able to do a little bit more than that much. Given that JB was planning on challenging Wil, I’d say JB at least has some skill at the game, unlike myself, and we can probably assume that Wil is about as good as JB. So yeah, JB and Wil can pull this off. So long as Pinky isn’t a hustler and actually better than her brother. Cuz that would REALLY suck.
you and shanna have the same idea, Ryurei: Wil and bot just might pull this off if they rack up some impressive scores and Pinky has no game. and let’s hope that her brother doesn’t have another high-scoring round with his next life!
Actually, I retract my previous statement, since I was judging solely by the pictures and not the scores (which might have been a good idea). But…. JB and Wil are gamer-nerds, so they still stand a chance, right?
happy new year, NeoDarklight! hope you’re having a great 2011!
and i wanted to do the “great experiment” before the new year hit, but it didn’t happen. maybe i should put that on my “new year’s resolutions” list. 😉
would love to join in but i just don’t have time right now, NeoDarklight; i’d hate to say “yes” and then not participate. i checked out the site, though – looks cool!
Meh. Being absent since we’re still partying hard in Puerto Rico.
First, the 25th of December with the jolly Mr. Claus.
Then comes New Year with all the lights, noise and drinks.
Then the 6th of January comes the Three Wise Kings Day which equals more presents and even more party!
And to finish, we got the Octavitas: 8 more days to party even more!! In summary, Puerto Rico ends the Christmas Celebrations by the 14th of January.
Yep, this tiny island in the middle of the Caribbean knows how to throw remarkables (and practically never ending) parties.
*flaps evil bat wings of doom*
I’ll be back when this madness is finally over.
…
Bwuahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
woo! i’m happy to hear you still have a lot of partying to do, Sonitan! you Puerto Ricans know how to live it up, apparently! looking forward to your return to give us a report on all the festivities. 😀
happy new year, Red! hope you had more smiles than sneers while you were celebrating! as for me, i’d really like to sleep more and think less, but i don’t think that’s gonna happen. 😉
Now I have to plug a great guy’s new webcomic, as well as the teaser trailer he made and uploaded to vimeo. http://pd.milkinthepantry.com/ is his old comic site, with the teaser on the front page. http://derelictcomic.com/ is his new site for the comic it was describing. Now go watch that badass trailer!
It’s already 2011 here.
WOO! Happy New Year!!! it’s like you’re living in the future, AdM (let us know how it is)!!! celebrate with these shiny, new, 2011 Shades of Firsting:
😎
Urge to slap Pinky: rising…
Oh great gods of all things good and geek… This is going to take some 1337 skills…
Either that guy (1) was genetically engineered, (2) is Batman, or (3) plays Donkey Kong waaaaaaaay too much.
And, yes, greetings from the future! So far, it’s full of fireworks.
Hope everyone has a great year.
Maybe 2011 will be the setting for my Grand Bothering Tour of the USA… I hope so. ^_^
Whatever the future brings; I send my best thoughts and wishes to everyone here & all their loved ones. Take care.
Hugs and kisses to all from your friendly neighbourhood deviant. xXx
I go for 2. He’s Batman!
*diabolical laugh of “still” merry doom*
lol man its pretty empty here… happy new year peeps! specially the lovely Harem ;-P
Happy New Year, Prophet! hope you have a great one. 🙂
Happy New Year, my dear Prophet. ^_^ *hugs* xXx
I’m so not a partier! Good music at home is for me! Happy New Year, All! And I hope for more Mu in the Nu Year, with Jefbot! *grin*
lots of karaoke and Rock Band 3 at the Schuetze New Year’s Eve party this year, Peg, so we had lots of good music, too!
and there are plans afoot for Mu’s return to the strip in 2011… 🙂
It was rigged! That dude is secretly Mario in disguise!
Happy New Years!
he just might be, t_d! or possibly Luigi, judging by his body type. 😉
HNY!
Good one, Jefbot. Great storyline. Happy New Year and Cheers to you and all Jefbot fans. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for Jefbot in 2011.
thanks, Anonymous! (Laura?) i’ll try not to disappoint in 2011!
OMG i love this one! Jeff and Will look scared. But I have no fear! I know they are going to rock it out.
Everyone have a happy and SAFE New Year. I will be sitting home, drinking my lil champagne and wine and eggnogs and going to be about….12:15 or so? And I’m ok with that.
I want to see all of you Next week!
yep, Team WheatZee are all kinds of shaken up, Pixie, but hopefully they’ll come through!

1-800-222-4357 <– take that number out with you!
(Sorry, Jeff, just doin' a PSA. 🙂 )
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 😀
The PSA was a good idea. I want to see everyone back here again, and in one piece!
thanks, Myth! happy new year back atcha, especially in light of your big move! don’t worry, though – there are lots of JEFbot readers across the pond, so if you need any help adjusting, i’m sure someone over there will be happy to help you out. 🙂
awesome PSA for an awesome service!
Just gorgeous, bot. Really amazing. I love the graphics on the video game. I love how you set everything up so there actually is tension between the two teams. I’m fully invested. I certainly hope Bot and Wil win. They better cause I have $1,000 riding on this game. 😉 Happy New Year, brother!!!
happy new year, MC! it’s gonna be a great one, i’m tellin ya. 😀
and thanks for the kudos on the strip! and, just wondering, who’d you bet on and do i get a cut?
Game on! Take em down Bot!!!!
he’s gonna try his best, TCG! assuming he can keep his Nerd Rage in check, that is. 😉
Blast that doggon nerd rage!!! Always gets in the way!
Happy times from 2010. (For another four hours.) Angela dear you can’t slap Pinky unless you have blade in your hand. Hope 2011 is good for all.
ON HIS FIRST LIFE? For the goddess sake. Only reason he has done so well is because he a freak. lol
*plays with her daggers* Did someone say something about blades? ^_^
takes away daggers. “Too small. Try this.” Hands Angela two 16 inch blades double edged.
happy times from 2011, Will B! hope you had fun ringing in the new year.
yep: HIS FIRST LIFE! *gasp!* dude’s definitely a freak.
Happy New Year Bot!!
Oh shit @ that score.
happy new year, dj! WOO 2011! 😀
and yep, that score’s gonna be tough to top. Wil ‘n bot are gonna need some super gamer mojo to even come close!
Happy New Year! I’ve got four hours left before it’s really the new year for me, but I’m going out dancing in skanky clothes, and won’t be around here for the official change. 😉
Dang, look at bot’s eyes! One’s bigger than the other! That’s awesome! But Maker’s breath, that’s a scary high score. This might not end well for Team Bot…As long as he gets the chance to b*tchslap Pinky, that would be good. Grrrr.
ha! well i hope you had fun ringing in 2011 in those “skanky clothes” Tiana!
and you’re right: things might not end well for Team Bot. maybe he can get cel do to the b*tchslapping if it comes to that. 😉
I had entirely too much fun, and my legs hated me for it for a couple days afterward. So worth it.
Still…go Team Bot! I’m a sucker for the underdog.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!*throws confetti*
Oh no, Bangs is really good, I mean REALLY good at DK!! Wil and Jef better pull some kind of good luck fairy out of their pockets LOL
I hope everyone is safe and has a great time!!!
WOOO! confetti! happy new year, ESQ!!!
yeah, that dude is way too good at DK – if either Wil or bot has a “good luck fairy” they better pull it out NOW!
Someone called? *pixie dust all ova!*
just what the doctor ordered, Pixie!!!
Happy New Year! 😉
happy new year, sisterella!
Bitch gotz some skillz
Pinky’s brother certainly does, o0Edit0o! hopefully bot and Wil will have some skillz to match (but judging from their expressions, it doesn’t appear likely.)
SRRY 4 this, but HOLY *bleep* THAT WAS SO AWESOME New year celebration
And yeah, they are doomed, so doomed, but maybe they would be able to secretly break the machine before breaking the record, and the “Kong-off” will be moved so they can get some training done (they need it against this guy)
thanks, Eddie! hope you had an awesome time celebrating the new year!
and i’d love to see Wil and jefbot “level up” against Pinky’s brother, as that might be the only way they can hope to beat him at this point! 🙂
Have a safe and happy New Years!
thanks, kiltorea, i did! hope you had the same! 😀
I love the smell of doom in the morning. Lolz. Happy new year everybody
i have a feeling Sonitan wakes up to that smell every morning, jf#300! heheh. hope 2011 is treating you excellently, so far. 🙂
Happy New Year! I hope everyone is doing well and is hangover free this morning. Have a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2011. 😀
I hope that Jefbot and Wil are both pretty good at DK and Pinky is terrible, cause that seems to be their only hope! They’ve gotta show up Pinky! The little @$#%^. 😛
happy 2011, shanna! wishing you and your family a “happy, healthy and prosperous” 2011, too!
fortunately, i didn’t wake up with a hangover – mostly because i barely slept, but drinking lots of water and not pounding the alcohol as much this year helped, too!
yep, that’s probably their greatest hope – that Pinky won’t contribute much to the score and that Wil ‘n bot’s combined scores can compete with Pinky’s bro. actually, correction: that’s probably their only hope. 😉
Whoa, I love the expresions, ALL of them, in this strip!
Happy new year! I wish to you dear Jefbot at least as good a year as was this last. And many new readers in 2011.
happy new year, Maryz! hoping you have a crazy-awesome 2011!
and, thanks! glad you liked all the expressions in this one! 😀
I call BS. No way a young whipper-snapper like that is going to PWN Donkey Kong like that. The only people I know that were that good at Kong have arthritis already.
you’re calling BS on a kid beating some older guys at a videogame, Stan? obviously you don’t play on XBOX Live much, do you. 😉
Nope, just THAT particular game. The 8-bit, 2D action couldn’t possibly capture the attention span of today’s youth.
seriously? ever go to a Dave and Busters? Chuck E. Cheese’s? log into XBOX Arcade!? WiiWare? DSiWare? show a kid Super Mario Bros. on a Gameboy? the simple gameplay is what kids love about these games!
Well, honestly I haven’t paid a whole lot of attention to kids until now. I guess we’ll see how that plays out as Milo grows up *shudder*
I just dropped by to say:
Happy New Year!
i’m glad you dropped by, Xantix! happy new year right back atcha!
There is only one way they can possibly win now: WONDER-NERD POWERS, ACTIVATE! Seriously though, awesome strip Jeff. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!
happy new year to you, too, Fijiman! 😀
ha! if Wil ‘n bot have “Wonder Nerd Powers” i hope they can each change into something more impressive than a pail of water and a bird. heheh. glad you liked the strip!
I’m glad you thought that was funny. I also assume that you’ve been busy over the weekend. Too busy to put the new strip up today, or at least when you usually do. (and, hopefully, busy organizing more of your new house including certain game systems)
Attention. Please ignore most of my previous comment about Tuesday’s strip being late for I am a forgetful and sometimes inattentive person. That and long holidays tend to really f with my bio-clock. Thank you and have a nice day.

yep, Pinky’s brother actually played through all the boards more than once. the panels shown were just the highlights. 🙂
and yes, Wil and bot still have a chance, albeit a slight one!
Happy New Year! Have you performed the great experiment yet, shootzee?
happy new year, NeoDarklight! hope you’re having a great 2011!
and i wanted to do the “great experiment” before the new year hit, but it didn’t happen. maybe i should put that on my “new year’s resolutions” list. 😉
Hey, Jeff, I’m thinking about inviting you to an RP I’m in. You interested?
In case you accept, the URL is http://www.insanesoft.org/forum
It’s a slow-moving one that you don’t really need to know anything about to have your character join; he/she can just learn as the story progresses.
Even if you don’t want to join, you can always observe. You’ll still have to sign up to do that, though.
On an unrelated note, I really wish these things had an edit button.
would love to join in but i just don’t have time right now, NeoDarklight; i’d hate to say “yes” and then not participate. i checked out the site, though – looks cool!
Beautiful! I love the color! Happy New Year…
Kick some arcade butt!
happy new year and many thanks, Funnyshaffer!
Oh snap. That’s gonna be tough…
yeah, Wil ‘n bot are gonna need all their combined gaming skillz to take this guy down, rinthia!
Been there, done that.
Yes, I’m that old, and had that much time on my hands.
I love this lol, it’s priceless.
glad you got some old school gaming skillz, John! and thanks for the lol! 😀
happy new year from me also! 🙂
happy new year, supersonic cucumber! wishing you a fun one!

Happy New Year everyone. My resolutions for this year are to sleep less, think more, and make as many people sneer at me as possible. ^_^
happy new year, Red! hope you had more smiles than sneers while you were celebrating! as for me, i’d really like to sleep more and think less, but i don’t think that’s gonna happen. 😉
It’s really hard to sleep less and think more, in my humble experience.
Now I have to plug a great guy’s new webcomic, as well as the teaser trailer he made and uploaded to vimeo. http://pd.milkinthepantry.com/ is his old comic site, with the teaser on the front page. http://derelictcomic.com/ is his new site for the comic it was describing. Now go watch that badass trailer!
Derelict looks promising, NeoDarklight! beautiful!
