New Comic, just like riding a bike

Finally got back into doing comics after returning to playing EVE. It’s so great to be back into the general swing of things after two months. It’s been neat to come back to the player politics, especially with the “everyone pile on BoB” thing that’s been going on.

Been playing a ton of Crackdown on the Xbox 360 as well, which has proven to be a great way to pass a lot of free time. It’s incredibly light on the main “plot” missions, but more than makes up for it with the free sandbox gameplay. Finding new ways to jump around the city rooftops and such is more fun than most games of the genre.

Also had a chance to play the new GRAW2 demo, which is basically like saying I’ve been playing GRAW again but with prettier graphics. It’s the same game. Almost exactly the same, and I can’t see why this is being marketed as anything other than an expansion pack at best. The shadowing is very impressive, but only really showcases that the AI cheats more.

Other than gaming, today was an interesting milestone: I finally got a chance to take my car out for a spin, after two months of it sitting all nice and clean in my garage. I seriously missed it, and ended up missing out on some prime AWD conditions. 😦 But such is life, and there’s always next year.

Home at last

Finally home, got in last night.  Got released from the hospital a few days ago though, but stayed at my parents’ place, since you have to be under observation for a period afterwards.  What an ordeal.

Stone’s been removed, no complications or anything, so it’s just recovery time now.  Thanks to everyone who sent supportive emails, evemails, chocolates, and other items. :)  I expect I’ll be back to my regular routine in the next couple of weeks, providing recovery moves forward at a decent pace.

That includes getting back to EVE and comic making (yay!).  I’ve been missing that a lot.

Oh and if anyone’s curious, I managed to satisfy my gaming itch while in the hospital, with my PSP and Wipeout Pure.  Love that series, and that game still continues to be amazing.

One day to go…

Well, there’s just one more day to go, and I’ll be (finally) going under the knife to get this accursed kidney stone out. After what I hope will be a short post-op recovery period, I’ll be happy to return to work, driving, EVE, and well… life.

I still can’t believe it’ll be two months since this stupid thing’s symptoms got acute, and only now do I get to have it dealt with. It’s a complete waste of my productive time, and it’s been the polar opposite of anything resembling time off. Not fun, not recommended by me to anyone at all. And I can’t wait to get back to doing comics again.
So this is me signing off for a few days. See you all on the other side of the gate.
