What? No Wednesday Update?

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

You’ll notice that there’s no new comic today.  The reason for this is threefold:

1) I opted to hold off on a comic in anticipation of the expected announcement from Bungie related to their new project.  Needless to say, I’m disappointed that the announcement has been postponed indefinitely.  Looks like we’re all just going to have to wait a little longer.  360sync reports that Microsoft has confirmed that Bungie is, indeed, working on a new Halo title that is unrelated to Halo Wars, but I hope you’ll pardon me if I take that news with a grain of salt until official word is actually passed down from the Bungie guys.  It will be thrilling news if it is a new Halo title, but I don’t believe in counting my chickens before they’re hatched.

2) I wasn’t feeling particularly well yesterday, and so spent most of my day just resting.  I had neither the energy nor the motivation to work on Reclaimer.  I’m doing much better today, though, so expect updates to resume on Friday.

3) Related to 2) and to the Microsoft E3 announcement on Monday that NBC has been added as a media provider for the Xbox 360, I “discovered” the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica yesterday and spend most of the watching through the first season fof the show.  I was pleased to find that the hype I’ve been hearing about the show is well-deserved.  BSG has some of the best writing – Joss Whedon aside – I’ve seen in a show in recent years.  I’m looking forward to working my way through the mini-series, the next three seasons, and the movie.  Definitely good stuff.
