Swaptrick: Comics for the nerds

I hope everyone had a great turkey day, mine was excellent. This was the first one I had to spend away from the main family due to work and other complications, but my girlfriend's family was nice enough to have me over and the food... the food was a harvest of goodness.

Like the new comic? Thought so. This would be for you RE2 fans out there in addition to those of you playing through Darkside Chronicles much like myself. It's a good game, fun and brutal however some of the events which aren't exactly accurate annoy me. This is supposed to be a recap of the important events spanning the time between and during the major games in the RE franchise. That being said, why remake sequences like the opening to RE2? We all know Claire and Leon met when she exited the diner and he was there with gun drawn, killing a zombie behind her while saying "get down!" That is fact. However Capcom saw fit to update this scene with Claire kicking some ass in the streets of Raccoon, becoming a bit overrun and Leon running up to her with gun drawn with the "get down" line. Its not a game ruining moment, but when the very people who brought you the memorable scenes take a dump on those same scenes 10 years later, it becomes disheartening to watch. This becomes especially true for those of us who replay the classic titles (especially since RE1 and 2 were recently released on PSN), and have these scenes fresh in our minds and makes it surprising that they would change what we have come to understand as cold hard canon over the last decade. After that bit of ranting I will say Darkside Chronicles is very well worth a purchase for RE fans or at least a rental.

On a side note, Left 4 Dead 2 has not disappointed. I am glad I purchased it.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. No better way to live than to glorify over eating. That may sound sarcastic, and in a way it is, but I'm all about letting go and saying to hell with diets at least one day out of the year.

Sorry for the ever changing art style. I'm playing around with some new tools here and there, and I believe the only thing I'm not overly happy with recently are the faces (they look less cartoony which is a bad thing to me), and the sloppy line art. I promise the next one will be better. I'm not feeling too well at the moment, so I will leave you with these tidbits:

A new comic with a Thanksgiving theme is nearing completion.

Ninja Assassin in theaters as we speak... is retarded boss = totally fucking awesome.

Left 4 Dead 2 is worth the pick up if you have at least 1 or more buddies to play with you. The fun factor and skill factor have been ramped up enough to make it unique enough from its older brother to warrant a purchase.

Oh well, have a great morning everyone and we'll meet here again when the new comic is published.

I hope everyone enjoys the new comic. This is actually true as read on Kotaku.com a few weeks ago. The plan is in the works.

Sorry for the massive delay in comics, things have been quite hectic recently. Thank you all for your continued viewership.

Hey all, sorry if you happened to visit over the past few days to see that our site had been taken down. Well we had some host renewal issues that have been resolved and we are alive again. WHEW!

Right now I'm playing through Assassin's Creed on the PSP (figured I'd get it out of the way before I get into AC2.) So far its pretty entertaining especially for a portable title. They really captured the core AC experience on a handheld. However there's only so much they can do. Graphically, there are things left desired, while the animations are fairly top notch. The storyline seems pieced together at first but is becoming more complex as time goes by. That being said, I've only owned the game for 2 days and I'm already nearly done with it. AC Bloodlines contains an upgrade system that is handy however the game play makes Altier almost overpowered. Anyone who is familiar with the game play from the first game will be comfortable with the same counter system. I was rarely challenged by regular enemies. The lack of heavy population on the streets make cities look like ghost towns. So far there have been no indications as to vehicles or horses. All in all I'd say AC Bloodlines is entertaining but almost too easy.
