As you all have heard, I'm starting up a web comic at the beginning of March. This means that my posting genius will be used elsewhere. The comic strip website, it's in blog format at the moment is for-the-win-comic.blogspot.com. We will begin and hopefully go far. Andrew is an incredible artist, and I'm a horrible writer. Together we make an average comic. But from the comics that I've seen that are popular, we'll still be better than a good percentage.
Anyways, this post is to tell you that this blog is essentially getting shut down. We're gonna turn it into a Penny Arcade type thing where I make a commentary on why we drew something. But I've got a long way to go before I achieve anything close to that. They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery and I hope to flatter PA and PVP as much as possible. That being said, we will do our own original stuff, and our commentary won't be especially great. We're just two guys having some fun.
Please visit the site, I hope that it ends up going well, and I think it will. Enjoy.

Webcomics
Well the time is nigh upon us. I have followed Yahtzee's command and have decided to start up my own web comic. It won't open officially till the first Tuesday in March and I will post a link to the site when we get it going. I was able to find someone who could draw. All I have to do is sit back and wait for the profit to roll in.
Of course we don't have to be funny. We just have to be creative and imaginative. We have to make people think they've never really seen it before. But, I mean come on. It's me and Andrew, how can we not be funny? That's rhetorical no need to answer... :P
I don't know how much I'll be able to continue this blog when the comic becomes official because most of my time will be dedicated to putting the comic up and making sure everything is working properly. We'll have to see how it goes, but this blog might slowly be closing. However, the game analysis (yes I like to call them that) that I do might end up being put on our blog for the comic, so fear not. I will be here still.
Our comic is starting off with two friends who want to start a web comic (original right?) and how the world might look through their eyes. I have been heavily influenced by PA and pvponline, so I would say that our comic is a mixture of both of those as well with a little bit of our own reality thrown in. Needless to say, I think it will be fun and I'm not asking for any more than that.

The Console Wars: The Conclusion
Ok, I know I haven't been able to explain all the differences between the 360, PS3 and the Wii, but I think that over the last posts a conclusion can be met. Now all of this is completely subjective. I can understand if someone chooses one over the other and in no way am I trying to convince anyone that one console is better than the others. I'll give my reason for liking one over the other but in no way does that imply that everyone else should think the same.
For the Wii:
I do think that the Wii is a great console to have. Yes it's not a true gaming console and is very selective in its games but the true fun of this console relies in it's ingenuity. It has taken gaming to another level and I think that in a few years Microsoft and Sony will be using technology similar to how the wii plays it's games. It's a party console. Perfect for enjoying time with people who don't play video games often. But it's definitely worth your time to play.
For the PS3:
Where to begin? We'll start with the whole blueray thing. The PS3 is able to have the best picture quality from the DVD because of Blueray. This doesn't mean it looks the best on games, but it does mean that the quality on the TV from movies (if you fork over the extra $10 to rent the blueray) will look better than their regular counterparts. The Controller feels so flimsy to me as a gamer. It coule be my Xbox upbringing but I like being able to throw my controller without fear of it breaking. I feel like if I squeeze it too much the PS3 controller will break. The games on the PS3 aren't in my style as much as the 360. Sony is supposed to be good at RPG's of every variety. How is it that the top toted games coming 0ut are FPS? It doesn't make sense to me.
For the 360:
I essentially grew up on the original Xbox, so it's no wonder that I would take the 360 over the PS3. I love the way controller fits my hand better than the way the PS controllers fit my hand. Of course my hands are big. I love the way FPSs work on the 360, not so hot on the 3rd person though. There are differing reasons to buy each one and the biggest reason for me is the fact that I would rather play the games coming out exclusively on the 360 than the games coming out exclusively on the PS3.
All in all, I'm really not trying to convince anyone. I was trying to put out a objective viewpoint on the state of all the consoles and felt like I did that. All of them have their uses. I just choose the 360 over the others.
