39. No speech left uninterrupted

So first, the comic news. For those of you that missed the original comment: I'm changing the update schedule. Instead of updating on Tuesdays AND Saturdays, I'm only going to add comics on Saturdays from here on out. I know, it sucks, I'm not happy with it either. I have a whooole lot of story to tell, and I'm going to go stir crazy only getting to tell part of that story once a week. I'm crazy busy, though, and I'd much rather have one GOOD, ON TIME comic a week than two late and rushed comics a week. Case in point, today's comic is totally on time and I'm rather satisfied with it.

In non-comic news: Etrian Odyssey III. Holy crap. If you like old style dungeon crawl type games–and enjoy the sort of difficulty that melts your face off and serves it to the neighbors in a martini glass–then this is the game for you. I'm absolutely addicted and cannot physically stop playing it at every free moment, not even for the sake of playing OTHER games that are coming out. I paid like sixty bucks for the new Front Mission almost a week ago, and maybe played it for an hour and a half since then–not because it's bad, but because I have Etrian Odyssey.

And Tuesday the new Castlevania comes out. Normally, I'd avoid a 3D Castlevania like the plague–but this one's being worked on by Kojima Productions and actually looks pretty good. I just… don't know if I can drag myself away from Etrian Odyssey long enough to play it. And like two weeks after that is Fallout: New Vegas. I hate this part of the year for THIS EXACT REASON. I won't get to spend my leftover money on anything but videogames until like, February. I spent the first half of this year totally bored because hardly anything good was coming out–NOW I can barely keep up with all the games I want to play.

At least they pushed Little Big Planet 2 back. That's one less game I have to buy IMMEDIATELY.
