Good to see you back in the saddle, Blinky. I had been wondering where you were, good to know that everything's ok.
Well I was sitting at home bored with WoW, and I looked up at the Gallente Homecoming picture framed on the wall. Suddenly the old itch of EVE came back. :) Actually pondering collecting the rest of those, they look fantastic on the wall.

It would be interesting to see if you did some strips highlighting ship imbalances. And also the famous nerf bat, how some things used to work fine but not anymore.
tho I'd understand if you don't want your comic to carry any political agendas. heh

Welcome back Winter.
So you found WoW dull as well eh ?
I have yet to try it longer then a 2 days stint. It's not for me I think.
Anway, good to see you're still around.
Go have some fun.

Reading through your blog is hilarious, particularly an entry from 4/27/2003:

Put simply, the game's destined to fail.

I don't think a MMORPG has bored me this quickly.

For EVE to be at all viable, it will need a HUGE player base... many thousands of people.
...
Only truly hardcore shut-in type gamers are really going to stick with EVE, and the unfortunate truth is that kind of person is not common.
I'm sorry, I just had to share choice excerpts. 
Thank God you're not a weatherman  (I kid, I kid.)

I look at it this way. This is the kind of game where initial impressions can be powerful ones, but finding a reason to play for the long term CAN be tricky. There's been a few times I've put it down, but as you can see I always manage to come back. Part of that is the community; there are a lot of players I've come to know and respect here. Part of it is the developers; I challenge *anyone* here to find a more committed and accessible developer, especially in the MMO genre. CCP is the anti-EA -- they're committed to their game, it's not something they've set out to do to make a quick buck on their way to the next thing coming.
Like everything that I enjoy a lot, I'm also critical of it in a way I hope is constructive. So don't take comments that I've made as gospel on how I feel about EVE, it's only part of the story. :) The indicators of MY committment to the game: 1 comic site, 1 fan fiction, and two years of play from beta to now (even in my downtime here lately, I didn't cancel my sub). No other MMO has kept me on for that length of time, and I've never done a comic or a fanfic for anything ever. :)
I know you were kidding around and all, but that's my side of it. Now go look at my digital art section instead, everyone loves that. :D

yay,
Welcome back dude.
I only happened to stumble upon your comics recently (dunno how I ever missed them first time around) and they are damn sweet... remind me a lot on Calvin and Hobbes when he is doing his spaceman routine ;)
Anyway, keep up the great work from all of us at Reikoku :)
