Or how its addicting. =/ I must have spent about 30 seconds on the thing before finding something else to do. *sigh* Probably going to get some flak my way for even speaking out against it. But then again I only come here for the comics which are beautifully written, drawn and coloured, I can't fault Hawk or Anath in any way there ;D While its a nice little project and works well, I can’t understand why everyone is so enthralled with it.
