Sheesh. Looking at the datestamps for previous pages, I’ve realized how long it’s been since the last update. I’m very sorry about that. The summer season has been rather insane in my household this year, and what free time I’ve had has been devoted to other things (as demonstrated in the recent blog update). That said, the approach of Reach has generated some creative energy, and I’d like to wrap this current arc before Reach falls next Tuesday. I hope you enjoy this update (and that it helps alleviate your withdrawal jitters), and hopefully you’ll see some flashy new scenes starting next week!

wewt for new RC! thanks jim! looks like he may have some "cleansing fires" on the way
Indeed. Escape seems… difficult at this time.
What do you mean difficult? He just does what he does every time. Teleport randomly at the last second and somehow end up in an important spot.
Reclaimer LIVES!!!!
Told ya'...
NOOOOOO!!!!
Just when I thought I might consider being able to live temporarily without the horrible, unending pain of Reclaimer-withdrawal…!
This is how I deal my drug—give you more just when you think you can live without. Keeps you coming back.
You're a bit late… My addiction is long gone. Good comic, though.
Ah, but addicts are so easy to get hooked again.
Besides, the first one is always free….........
He's evil ain't he? :p
Damn straight!
OH MY GOD IT'S BACK!!!!! Three cheers for Jim!
Ahh, it's been a while. I can't wait for what you can do with Reach Jim, because this is gonna be rocking
See you on Tuesday! :p
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. The Beta was a nice preview, but I can't wait to get my hands on those new Forge tools.
I'm pretty sure the whole beta thing was like 6 comics ago…
JIM!! I MISSED YOU!!!!
Um, yay?
mutters to self
Now where did I put that restraining order?
I'll help you find it, I'm sure I saw it here somewhere…
I just hope I didn't accidentally throw it out…
I love you too Jim.
YES! HE"S BACK!!! Great to see a new comic Jim!
See you online on tuesday!!
Absolutely!
Ahhh my fix!
Can't wait for Reach. So many possibilities…
droolsHopefully, I'll be playing Monday after school ;D The store I pre-ordered from almost always sends you the game the day before the release day. Hehehe…
Just bear in mind that none of the stats and credits, etc. you earn before they flip the switch on Tuesday goes away, right?
Yeah I know. D'ya think the stats from Beta are still active until Tuesday too? I guess it doesn't matter either way, but I don't want to start from scratch twice.
The Beta stats were wiped out a few weeks ago in preparation for Tuesday. Stats, screenshots, videos—everything was dumped. They gave fair warning to gather what you wanted and save it before they removed it all.
Fair enough, that doesn't bother me anyway. The only things I would want to keep from the Beta would be credits, but I knew that wouldn't be possible from the start. I guess I'll just use Monday to get used to the game rather than trying to earn credits or create maps.
hooray the comic is back!
Though, I am a bit sad the fire puns have gone out.
Yes, I've noticed the flames have been extinguished. Perhaps we should fuel the puns with the same 12 fire related words we've used for all the other recent puns.
It seems like our beloved comic's supposed rebirth was merely a misinterpreted twitch. I'm torn between continuing checking for updates every day or finally giving up on Reclaimer. There's just too much time between updates for me to remember what's going on. Where's the energy? The suspense? Will Reclaimer die? If so, we will remember it as the best first half of a video game comic ever.
I'm juggling a lot of different things right now—one of which is Forging a new set in Reach.
I haven't had a lot of discretionary time lately, but stay tuned. I'm going to try to push a new comic out today and another on Friday in an attempt to get things back on a somewhat normal schedule again.
Forgeworld might not be too good for comics unless Reclaimer is going on a huge sprawling adventure in the same area with the same grey looking towers every five feet. What are you planning?
Let's leave our Mastermind to it, eh? Whatever Jim gives us we're gonna be happy with, but the longer we wait…the BETTER the result, I think.
Sit tight men, it's a hell of a ride to Reach!
Yeah. A) I've been busy playing Reach since it came out (completed all but three achievements), and B) I've been wrestling with health issues of late.
Well, gratz to the achievement hunting! Im not really bothered about that stuff, I'd rather rank up.
And I think I speak for everyone when I say I hope you're okay and get better soon. ^^
Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm still ranking up as I hunt achievements, one reason not least of which is that two achievements are rank-dependent. This'll actually be the first game in which I've gathered up every single achievement, so it's something I'm pretty satisfied about.
And I think I'm feeling better. If I have time tonight, I'm going to try (try!) to throw together a comic this evening. I have to wire up a horse cart with some lights first, though, so wish me luck that all goes smoothly.
Yeah I getcha, but I just don't like trying to get achievements unless there is a reward other than gamerscore. If I get some while playing, I'm good with that, though. I'm just currently annoyed at the speed at which you rank up from the Warrant Officer section!
Well I'm glad you're feeling better.
There's no pressure, really, everyone needs to learn that there IS a world OUTSIDE of Reclaimer, hard as it is to believe. Good luck with that anyway. ^^
Well, in this case, the gamerscore is secondary to the challenge of being able to pull off all the feats necessary to earn every single achievement. It's been tough but very rewarding to whittle the list down to just these last couple. And I don't know how much Campaign and Firefight you're playing, but those two will net you several thousand cR every day.
And yeah, now the holdup is waiting on Bungie to actually sync my screenshots to my Bungie.net profile. Took a bunch last night (even uploaded them to my File Share) and none of them are showing up.
Its a conspiracy!
