  • One of the many reasons I left SWG

    This comic is pretty much based on fact. For instance, in one of the many patches, they fixed the way Darth Vadar’s cape looked vs. actually fixing many bugs and broken professions that players use in the game. Management for this game is such a joke, hence this comic being so damn funny!

  • Lamenting Jingo

    So I’m sitting there watching Breeze, it’s Live by the way,
    and it’s obviously solved it’s technical challenges with ease, a mad “hurray”!

    We learn about Director MX 2004 and all it has new to offer, and even before it’s begun,
    your having the urge to fill Macromedia’s coffer.

    Scarfing on pizza, downing mad soda,
    I see familiar names from fellow designers and codah’z.

    Now, I dig the DVD (ROM), I dig the external editing, the sprite & channel naming,
    and the Stage that can dock while authoring.

    But I think most what I dig, regardless of the slow bytecode, is the JavaScript Jingo,
    implemented via open-source ECMA from Lingo.

    I hope Java guys dig it, open source hounds try it out,
    and a few Flashers do a round about… face.
