First order of business: How did something like Chaos Wars slip under my radar? Hell, how did something NAMED Chaos Wars slip under my radar? It has chaos… AND war in the title! FFS. And if that wasn’t enough of a line to bait me, it’s a strategy rpg? A massive crossover strategy RPG? With the likes of Gungrave, Thousand Arms, and others in it?
Kee-ripes. My spy net is failing me.
It’s a shame we didn’t get Namco X Capcom here and will likely never have a ‘true’ installment of Super Robot Wars over here, but it’s always good to have officially-licensed ‘Who Would Win In A Fight’ arguments that tap into that schoolyard vibe that we never entirely grow out of.
(Er, it usually works better for video games than movies, before anybody brings up Aliens vs Predator.)
I generally approach my sites with a blindfold of sorts on, but no matter how I promise myself I won’t do it anymore, I keep looking at my hit/visitor counts, and while not entirely depressing (this site does good!) it’s a tad discouraging that my little pet project’s readership seems to be dwindling pretty steadily. I don’t see myself quitting it any time soon, don’t worry (if you were) but it does have me looking at taking a different tact on things ’round here. Maybe I should cave and do some more disconnected comic and art work on here to accompany the-
(uh what the hell do I do, anyway? oh right it’s a glue factory)
-articles. At one point I considered reviewing games IN comic format- but that would 1) probably be more trouble than it’s worth, and 2) in a literal sense, mean that I had created a gaming webcomic, and as much as I love superfluousness and the fuzzy line between things I like and things I like ironically, I think I might start producing ammonia-like clouds of mediocrity.
Uh yeah, s’pose I ought to sum up: RK will be twice weekly, thrice if I feel especially froggy, Gatling Guard will probably come back soon, run for 2-3 strips then explode again, expect more sketchy junk to show up in future ‘nothing’ posts.
I think that covers about everything. I have to save something for later on.

NxC was nice in the beginning, but I wish they’d have included NON-STORY MISSIONS.
That, and make Strider/KOS-MOS less broken.
Here’s hoping we get SRWOG: Endless Frontier- it looks to run on a similar engine as NxC, and the original heroes from said game are in it to boot. And KOS-MOS, but she’s been getting around.
Well, to be fair, it doesn’t include some mention or another of being a tactical RPG in which you control various cast members from the KoF series in largely-faithful adaptations from their normal fighting-game selves. That would be a bit more surprising to not notice.
Too far? Just far enough? I’m still sad about missing out on NxC, didn’t have to bring that up.
