Then 1-2 days later someone from crispygamer.com had contacted him to do it on a T, Th basis thus the currect situation.

It is nice to read a forum where people share many of my thoughts and can express their opinions as constructive criticism.<BR/><BR/>I have also enjoyed the Ding! strips; many of them have made me chuckle, whereas the main PvP comic hasn't made me do that very often lately. This leads me to a question: rather than making Ding! a separate comic, could Mr. Kurtz integrate them as strips in PvP?<BR/><BR/>Maybe he stated why he made them a separate comic at some point, but I missed it (I don't usually read posts or listen to podcasts). I personally would enjoy seeing them as part of PvP, and am wondering why it isn't that way. Would it be overkill on MMORPG jokes for too much of the PvP audience? I feel like they could be weekend comics or something. Is there a revenue stream from Ding! as a separate comic, or are there other reasons?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989649127373312714.post-25177255782583560462008-03-06T10:35:00.000-08:002008-03-06T10:35:00.000-08:00Didn't see the Podcast comment, *shrug*, seems kin...Didn't see the Podcast comment, *shrug*, seems kinda weird to have that many elements from WoW.

I don't think that there needed to be two strips saying that the Dad doesn't understand the mechanics of the game back to back like that, but the second one had a slightly different take and it was alright.<BR/><BR/>I thought the last joke was a bit crass as well, but it was supposed to be. I mean... it was a your mom joke. If that's your thing, then it worked. Personally, I find your mom jokes to be lazy. If you can't find something creative to say, just say "your mom" and walk away. But, again, this strip at least put a little twist on the generic your mom response.<BR/><BR/>Re: Sage<BR/><BR/>These characters are not supposed to be the PvP cast playing WoW. it's a new cast of characters. <BR/><BR/>Re: Anonymous who highly dislikes Ding!<BR/><BR/>They are Night Elves, because this is not WoW. This is a generic MMORPG world. It contains elements of WoW, to be sure. Because that is the most prevelant MMO currently, but the world is not the WoW universe, so you will find many things that are inconsistent with that universe if you are expecting it to be.evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09253818249278879324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989649127373312714.post-80230143401037011122008-03-05T19:39:00.000-08:002008-03-05T19:39:00.000-08:00Oops definetly showed myself as not a WoW regular ...Oops definetly showed myself as not a WoW regular playerBrett Schiller (Sage)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08631893385280344680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989649127373312714.post-6898729738871523032008-03-05T19:36:00.000-08:002008-03-05T19:36:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brett Schiller (Sage)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08631893385280344680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989649127373312714.post-29173515465259623342008-03-05T19:31:00.000-08:002008-03-05T19:31:00.000-08:00Really?
