It's interesting to read how money is made to fund
the big-name titles in videogames and MMOGs. I mean, unless you're href=" http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/60358">a company like
Blizzard there's got to be some sort of fund-raising going on behind
the scenes to pay the people that make the game and get it from idea to
reality.

But even then, money doesn't guarantee success. Everyone and their
mother is out there to figure out, even four years later, just how
Blizzard struck oil with World of Warcraft. I don't put a logo on the
shirts of these two rival game designers, because I honestly think just
about every company is out there trying to figure out how to replicate
on some level WoW's heaping success.

I know not everyone plays WoW. I know it's not perfect. But game developers would be silly to not be at least glancing over the shoulder of Blizzard Entertainment and analyzing where they get their magic from. And while all they may really have
to do is play Blizzard's game, I prefer to think that they go all
Mission Impossible like the idiots seen above.

Oh, and one last thing about these comics. How are you all liking
the single-panel entries? It's sort of from a love of Gary Larson and
Wiley Miller that I decided to try it out, and I think I dig the way the
jokes are more brief and abrupt. Of course, I'm nowhere near their
skill-level when it comes to cartooning or humor but practice makes
less-than-perfect right?
