Frankly, I did find today’s panel disturbing but more because of what it says about the challenges we as a society will face as our emotional investment in the cyber-sphere increases. When sense of self becomes more melded to the virtual than the real, suddenly disturbing new possibilities emerge.

As a story element, I thought it was great. Definitely a depth-adding twist.

Summary, you’re doing fine. Keep going. But the doubts never stop, sorry.

First off, the strip. The not-even-close-to-nudity isn’t that bad. If somebody has a problem with it, they don’t have to look at the strip (notice there are no ribbons in the guy’s hair). Kudos for the ducky and largo in the background though.

As for 1337, being a kid, i don’t see why anyone would use it to send s3cr37 messages. (it’s cooler to make up your own :P) I guess it’s just the media putting a spin on things.

Makes the Miho-Piro relationship even more fascinating and perhaps why she can’t let go.

“Endgames” must have been *some* freaking beautiful MMO (though being able to PvP-punt an “allied” b3k3 is an even better game function than any bathtaking or romance implied here)
… as a parent, your link to the noble reporting of dastardly 1337 appalled.. yes, appalled me. But not for the reasons the scumbag anxiety faux-news station might think. There’s a reason I don’t watch much American “news” anymore and this is a poster child for it. Ignorant reporting coupled with focus on anxiety-producing-stay-tuned -through-the-commercial-break-after-this-hook.
