I don't have any real excuse for 2nd Shift being late. Very, very late. I'm sorry. I'm working on picking the pace up and doing the work.

I had the interesting experience recently of watching my new comic accomplish (and exceed) in two weeks what it took 2nd Shift many months to do. Mysteries of the Arcana's debuted to a nice size audience and gotten some fairly nice scores on certain voting sites. I'm very pleased.

A recent thread over at webcomics.com about "practice" or "starter" comics had me thinking. Is 2nd Shift a practice comic? The answer is yes. I'm practicing art and getting better. I'm practicing with a new style of writing, since I'm much more used to dramatic plots than comedic ones.

Still, it is also my creation and one I am proud of. I have no intention of letting it slip away just because another comic I'm writing happens to be doing better. All that means is I have to do better here. Become an even better artist and an even better writer.

I hope you stay with me as I do. Thank you.

I finally got around to fixing the vote incentive box. Why it broke? Long story but in the end, it doesn't matter. Point is, there'll be new voting incentives posted every time I post a page. This one is from Amanda over at Salt the Holly and was a Christmas gift. Thanks Amanda!

Adam Smithee of Apple of Discord drew up this comic, which is appearing over on his site as we speak. I highly encourage you to visit and enjoy his archives.

Look for page 71 tomorrow.

And so starts chapter 3: Charles. I hope you enjoyed this small flashback to Asimov and Charles' teen years. I've decided to start adding shading and highlighting to the comic. It might take me a while to get the hang of it, so please be patient. By the way, I'm working on a new site design for 2nd Shift, now that Mysteries of the Arcana is up and running. I promise it should be more pleasing and have some interesting new features.

Chapter 3 is delayed. My father borrowed my Adobe disc and I'm waiting for it to Fedex its way back to me. I still plan on having two pages up this week but they'll be late. Sorry.

As an honorable mention I throw out Rock Band 2. The improvements over 1 are wonderful. Especially no fail mode.

Did you enjoy this? If so, let me know, okay? I can do more in the future. Remember, I love the feedback, even when it isn't entirely positive.

That I'm a gamer shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. I find that many of my favorite games get little love when it comes to end of the year awards, though, so I thought I'd do my own! So, without further delay, here's J's top ten games he played in 2008, part 1!
