Firstly, I recently discovered PS238. It had been highly recommended to me several times in the past and I finally got around to reading it. It's a superhero comedy comic book that's being brought onto the Internet, one page at a time. I enjoy it very much and highly recommend it to you.
Secondly, I've been a bit busy for the last month or two ( Read more... ) -
City of Heroes
I was supposed to try City of Heroes out years ago. I nearly traded my car for a copy, once. Carmax offered me $5 for the car as a trade-in, so I was going to take the better deal ( Read more... ) -
Mythwar II and Angel Online
IGG runs about ten MMORPGs. I'm not sure how different they are from each other. Are they more different than, say Mario Party 5 and Mario Party 6? More different than Namir Deiter and You Say it First?* I had suspected they would be the same game, repackaged with different sprites. Their webpage does very little highlight the differences.

Mabinogi
I tried playing Mabinogi. It appears to be a social game. Appearance is customizable, but every time you change your skin tone or hairstyle, your clothes change randomly too, making it difficult to really tell the difference. I was blocky and my shirt was a radioactive gumdrop blue. I felt like a cartoon man in the real world. You can choose ( Read more... ) -
Lukewarm videogame reviews
I'm playing through Final Fantasy IV. I'm near the end. I get to a treasure chest, get attacked by a red dragon, and my party dies. This has happened about four times in a row. I don't even really need the gloves in that chest. I'm putting the game down until I get smarter. I figure if I enjoy the game enough to do the same dumb thing four ( Read more... ) -
Site News
Our RSS feed just got a bit of an upgrade. You can now view the last 8 comics instead of just the titles. Why did I add this now? I didn't realize it was possible earlier. I'm not sure if I should have the RSS feed contain everything or just the last eight. I want to make reading the comic as convenient as possible - I'd probably read twice as ( Read more... ) -
Looking for a game
The Internet almost always has what you're looking for. The problem is finding it. For the last week, I've felt like I should track down some good Paper Mario fanfiction. Then I realized that it'd take longer to find something good than it would to read it even if I knew where to look. I need recommendations, because otherwise I'll feel obliged ( Read more... ) -
Expo '08
Now, You Say it First is a bit continuity-heavy at times. I'm trying for "rewards careful reading, but makes sense if you've only read the previous week". Since I think about the comic more than most of you, I'm not in any position to judge this. I ask because the other day I was catching up on a webcomic that I hadn't read in a month or two. I ( Read more... ) -

I got my car back. It's a transmission thing. Except it behaves just fine when they test it. I haven't noticed anything unusual. They can't find anything wrong with it. Now, the price of replacing the transmission is about 90% of the Blue Book value of my car. I'm not sure what to do, but my current strategy is "hope the car keeps working". -

I meant to finish up a light-hearted post about video games or music. I haven't had much time to blog since I've been writing comics. The fact that I beat Windwaker, Professor Layton, Apollo Justice, Pokemon XD, Mega Man, and Trace Memory between now and then is just a coincidence, honest.
Anyhow, I've been busy. On Tuesday, my check engine light ( Read more... )
