Cranky Gamer #2 (Archived fromJune, 2006)

Day One (Archived from June, 2006)

Hey, folks --

Just a quick note. Turns out the application layout pages for CG were lost in my computer going boom. That means you'll be dealing with the classic (read "crude") versions of Cranky Gamers for a while.

Trust me; they get better.

Now lay back and think of England!

Cranky Gamers Returns!

Back in 2006, I performed an experiment. I grabbed some screenshots from my favorite MMOs of the time, mashed them up, and generated some comics.

And lo, they weren't very good.

Well, not at first.

Thing is, they got better.

Then life got in the way.

Now, with fall upon us, and my creative juices flowing again (ew?), it's time to resurrect this story.

What story, you ask?

Well, I'd point you at the old website, but unfortunately I've let the URL pass to other hands.

Just as well. I wanted to go back and polish up those scripts anyway.

So, starting tomorrow, I'm re-starting the series.

For those of you who actually suffered through the original versions, please understand that I've tightened the scripts.

For the newcomers, prepare yourself for a weird ride.

Oh, and I guess it goes without saying that none of this is done with the consent of NCSoft, Sony Online Entertainment, or any other MMO developer.

So sit back and enjoy the new and improved Cranky Gamers.
