Circle of the Loon

Posted by Steve on May 2, 2003: First things first, you can find the new funny here. No, this isn't a lead in to another arc. We just thought it made for a good punchline. Oh, and I think the title for this one might be my favorite yet.

Now on to bigger things. As you can tell, we've been secretly fooling with a new layout, and what you see is the result. We actually changed a ton of stuff besides the obvious change in the navigation menu. Which, by the way, means no more comics opening in new windows! Also, the link colors have been changed from red to orange, as the old color scheme was pretty hard to read at times. There's also the brand new logo, which I think Bob did a great job on. The archives page has gotten a serious facelift, as we were getting too many for just the basic list.

We also decided to drop the reviews. We hadn't updated 'em in ages, and on the rare occasion Bob or I feel like talking about a game, we do it here. (basically, they were pretty much just taking up space) As an alternative, I would suggest getting your reviews from Game Revolution. They do good work over there.

We also made up some new link buttons, if you're the kind of person that gets excited over that type of thing. You can find them, appropriately enough, on the bottom of the links page.

In other news, a Metal Gear Solid remake has been announced for GameCube. If someone could get Jason a towel for his drool, that'd be great.

Creepy.

That's all for now. See you next week.

Posted by Steve on May 2, 2003: Hey guys. Just a couple of things from me this week. First things first: I FINALLY finished Kingdom Hearts. I know it's been out for a while, but I tend to buy things and not play them for a long while. Not only did I finish the game, I 100%'ed it! All the dalmatians, all the Ansem Reports, I even beat Sephiroth and the Ice Titan. I rock, I know.

Also in gaming news, I picked up and subsequently finished Wolverine's Revenge. I know, it's a shock that I actually finished two games I own...But all in all, it's pretty cool. Kinda like Spider-Man but with more stealth implemented. Worth a rental, unless you're a crazy superhero fan like me, then it's worth buying. In other Wolverine news, I am almost finished with my next non-Think Tank drawing, which just so happens to be Wolvie. Not only am I drawing it in Illustrator, but it's the first time I've drawn Wolverine. So far, I'm pretty happy with it. I'll keep ya updated.

Ok, ok...Links...Umm, How about this? Man, first Metroid, then Def Jam Vendetta, then Ikaruga, then Metal Freakin' Gear? My 'Cube is actually gonna get some use after all.

Seeing as I kinda block out everything Steve has to type/say, I can't remember if we mentioned that Bitrate is back, kinda. Goonigoogoo of good ol' Bigger Than Cheeses did a guest strip, and it's been sitting there for a while now, but I still hold out hope. Come on Aaron, we need you!

Well, I seem to have run out of typing steam, and I need to work on the next comic, so I suppose I can cut out here. Unless you want the comic to look terrible, (Well, moreso) I can keep typing, but we wouldn't want that now, would we? WOULD WE?!?
