GU Comics by: Woody Hearn

To be clear, I have not seen Spiderman 3 yet. I dislike theatres, I'm a hermit. So being anywhere near a theatre within a month of a movie's release is pretty much out of the question. But, I felt the need to play Friday's comic out to it's end.

The downside of this particular comic is that there's not much I really feel needs to be said about it. So that leaves me to run my mouth to fill space. And, that's no good for any of us. **grins**

First up, my mom's donation drive for her Relay for Life walk seems to have been a glowing success. Her goal was $300. And you guys helped her surpass that mark by nearly $100. (Over half of the amount her entire team raised.) I just wanted to say thanks on her behalf.

In other news, coming to GU in the next few days is the GU blog. I'll be using the new section of the site and forums to discuss upcoming projects, the state of GU, game industry commentary that's not covered in the comics, and personal crap that could have implications for the site. I'll admit that I have no idea if I'll be able to keep it up. I'm a relatively private guy (see the hermit comment above); and, it's hard for me to disclose any information about myself or the comic "behind the scenes". But, GU is a community and I feel like you guys have been left a little out of the loop. And, well, I'd kinda like to correct that. You know, include you guys in what's going on.

There's also a project in the works, currently dubbed xViews, that is designed to let you guys submit editorials about aspects of the gaming industry. The submission process will also be open to industry professionals so those of you that participate will be in good company. The idea is that the gamers are just as important to gaming as the developers. There will also be Pro/Con sessions were two contributors will be selected to offer up arguments from opposite sides of an issue. This is an idea I've been considering for a while, and only really started working on it in the last couple of months. I hope it works. We'll see.
