Wow, this took a ridiculous amount of time to finish… I played around with the format too much, and re-wrote it a couple times. No I did not make Captain Morgan roll-play with me. >_> But she (and one other friend, thank you Kieran!) DID give me the game for my birthday last week! My savior. <3 How awesome is that?

Anyways, I’m pretty close to killing and eating Eve right now… so I’ll update the rant and poll once I’ve had something to eat. >_<

Sometimes (ie. always) after finishing the comic, I’m not as excited about writing up a rant as I might have been beforehand… maybe I should write these things first. While I’m at it they could also be proofread and not have terrible spelling/grammar mistakes in them, but I’m sure we all know that wont be happening anytime soon. Hmmmm. So as the comic illustrates, Captain Morgan came to my rescue last week. Since then I’ve had a chance to play through a couple hours, and so far I love it. I’m really enjoying the narrative, it feels very smooth and poetic. When I say this I mean that the OST, sound effects, in-game events and water (glad there’s more this time) all add to the environment rather than take away or interrupt it. The first game was still very good at this, though this time it feels a bit more seamless… but this could just be my inner fan-girl talking out her ass here.

In other news, the Winter Olympics have started in my hometown and half the time I’m afraid to leave my house since I live smack in the middle of the festivities. I’ve never seen so much red and white in my life, or Canadian flags for that matter! Woohoo! Normally I only vaguely follow the Olympics, but It’s hard not to get all patriotic when its EVERYWHERE! At the very least I’m watching the hockey, and I picked up a sweet (sarcasm?) new hat. ^_^ It reminds me of South Park and features the least appreciated of the Olympic mascots, Mukmuk. He’s an endangered Vancouver Island marmot… Serious, I could not make this shit up.

Before this year, the closest I got to any sort of Olympics was when playing with Mario and Sonic. And let me tell you, that game is tiring! I worked up a serious sweat trying to Wii swim those lengths. I played one sitting of it and did not go back for seconds. It was fun, but personally, I prefer to keep my gaming and exercise separate (excepts when it comes to DDR).

Speaking of DDR… the Captain and I will still be having our dance-off as was written in the comic over six months ago! Personally, I think the reason for the delay is because she’s scared and knows I’m gonna kick her ass *cough*. So I refuse to write a comic about it until it actually happens. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Is anyone still reading this? o_O heh. Don’t worry, almost done! I know it’s already past Valentines day, but if anyone is still interested, this months donation incentive is still available. Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

PS. Omg, Aliens vs. Predator game! The demo will have to be enough for now.

Here is a teaser for three of the valentines cards I’ve made for anyone who donates this month to the site. Each file is 300 dpi and will print at 5″x4″ on average. There’s an Okami, Pokemon (featuring that frightening Jynx pokemon), and a WoW Warlock Valentine. <3
