Well, I'm back. With what, you probably don't ask out loud? MORE COMICS. Yes, my "Games I've Completed in 2014" list continues to grow and grow--I'm now sitting at 46 games polished off and knocked aside, and we're just entering the month of July, meaning the year is only halfway done. Who here thinks I can cross the 100 mark before that big, sparkling ball in New York City slowly descends? Thanks, glad to have your support.

Heck, even if I do magically end up beating more than 100 games this year, I'll still be far behind in catching up with these comics I'm doing for each one. You can blame my day job, the stress of life, and the summer heat, which makes my arms stick to my drawing paper in unpleasant ways. But enough about that, let's get to the goods.

First up is a comic for the second episode in Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures from Telltale Games, which had Gromit playing detective to solve a shadowy beating and Wallace trying to make all the unhappy guests overjoyed with their time in his refurbished basement-turned resort:

This next comic will really show you just how far behind I am on this deceptive simple project of mine. I actually ended up beating Mom in The Binding of Isaac on the same day that Patrick ended his daily feature for the game. Sure, sure, he beat Mom a bunch of times and even took down the Devil, but for me, beating Mom was my Big Goal, and so I was happy to see it happen, even if I felt overpowered by getting the laser tears and wings early on. Anyways, comic time:

For the final comic, I need a bit of setup. So, last year, I purchased that big ol' Konami collection of Metal Gear games for the PlayStation 3. Alas, I never even got to put it in the console's disc tray last year, and so this year, I made the decision to play through all the games in the series in order of release. My previous history with the franchise was just MGS, MGS 2, and MGS 3, so I was very excited to see how that first two NES titles went--you can read my final thoughts on Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake by clicking the links tied to their names. Anyways, at this stage, I'm still working away at VR Missions, trying to at least get about 75% complete before I move on to the PlayStation 2-era titles.

This is not a funny comic, but I liked making the tile patterns nonetheless:

All right, that's all for now. I'll be back sooner than later as I am working on some Giant Bomb-themed art that I want to share with y'all. Until then, let's keep finishing games in our backlog!
