SinComics Arbitrary Ranking Of Games Round 2!

Vita

Lost Dimension

As I mentioned in the original critique, I'm not normally a fan of strategy-RPGs but Lost Dimension has that same special something, like Valkyria Chronicles, that it overcomes the normal tedium of the genre and stands out in a special way. While extremely flawed, annoyingly anime, and with an interesting story poorly told, Lost Dimension becomes a lot of fun if you stop caring about playing it "right" and just go in to do your own thing. As long as doing your own...

SinComics Arbitrary Ranking Of Games Round 1

Game of the Year lists are pretty much a tradition for anybody that talks about games on a website, but you know what? Game of the Year lists are really stupid. Arbitrarily pitting games from different systems in different genres with different teams and budgets with different target audiences doesn't serve the players or the games. Heck, why would it even matter if Game A was better than Game B? As long as they're both good, that's great. So in keeping with the SinComics tradition, we're not go...

Last Week On Sins

http://sincomics.com/

The Sins have their goals, marching orders, and the most important thing of all: code-names.

We also posted a new Mercynaries page ( http://topwebcomics.com/vote/4549/default.aspx ) , anagrams, and so much holiday joy!

Sins Christmas 2015

The Sins and Mercs wish you a happy holiday season with TWO pictures! You don't disobey Christmas Law, the penalties are severe.

And a bonus picture from our Patreon members. Goldwyn suggested a little help for Santa. I'm pretty sure Santa having a spider walker is a tradition somewhere. Probably one of those extra European Christmas holiday things.

Mr Pagan Oats

Your Christmas Eve Eve present from the Sins is the ever-loving gift of anagrams. From a time when the Sins and Rulers were on better speaking terms. Fuses bring out the best in us.

Holiday Arts

I don't get much of a holiday break at work this year but I do get to work from home for a few days, so I'll have a bit of extra time for the end of the year thanks to saving on commuting. Any fun ideas for some extra art over the break? Requests, suggestions, or such? Leave a comment!

Last Week On Sins

http://sincomics.com/

The Sins have met the Old Gods, who aren't in the best condition. They keep complaining about being cold and sending food back then making snide remarks about the waitress.

Rick Spanner, Needlessly Violent Private Eye

http://sincomics.com/Games/RickSpanner/

It's time for another entry in the Gamics universe: Rick Spanner, Needlessly Violent Private Eye! Help Rick help his dame, Swing Danger, come face to face with the ills of society and the horrific situation Swing has found herself in.

This is a super short game. And a super dumb game. I mostly made it because I love the characters' names. It's impossible to not hav...

Quick Critique: Saints Row 4 / Gat Out Of Hell

I already reviewed base Saints Row 4 and it's still fantastic but still not as good as SR3. I picked up Gat Out Of Hell as part of a bundle for super cheap and it was a good way to re-experience the game. I hadn't played any of the DLC missions so I stopped by to do all of those first and got sucked into finishing SR4 from start to finish again. The port on the base game seems exactly the same as I remember SR4 on the PS3 being, right down to the same audio glitch where every time I start the ga...

Last Week On Sins

http://sincomics.com/

We've got people living in caves deep underground, but they're the good kind, not the creepy shut off from light for thousands of years twisted into Gollum-like monsters kind. Also, some familiar faces!

I Look Forward To It Becoming A Daily Calendar

Maybe Mercy should have led with the fact that she doesn't have pictures of Ruth in it?

December 2015 Commission

This month, we have a fancy, dare I say schmancy, Mercs commission! This one was brought to us by:

http://toughset.deviantart.com/

Mercy is at least getting into it, even if she is like 80% poof in that thing. She may not even be able to hug Ruth in that dress!

As thanks for making the commission possible, our Patreon members get access to the commissions at full size and get the process pictures too! <...

Last Week On Sins

http://sincomics.com/

Jin is on her way to getting her Worst Boss coffee mug, but she owns up to it, we get friendly hugs, finger guns, and a high-five. Between two characters that don't have five fingers... High-three?

We also posted a new Mercynaries page (http://topwebcomics.com/vote/4549.. ) , a look back at last month, a review...

Mercynaries Tales 4: The Ring of Competition

It's time for another Mercynaries illustrated story, The Ring of Competition! By popular vote, we're traveling to a fantasy world for our client and this story features a bit more action by the Mercs themselves, rather than them being in the support role like in previous tales. Two self-proclaimed lovable rogues get more than they bargained for after not only stealing an artifact but then trying to rip off its Divine owner.

Patreon members get the story and illustrations at their full-size too...

Quick Critique: Silk: The Life and Times of Cindy Moon

Silk seems like a great addition to the Spider-Man world. She has a great costume, some really good powers, and reminds me of a lot of what I liked about Ultimate Spider-Woman, and I'm totally indifferent on most of the normal Spider-Women. Silk is similar to Spider-Man but with her own twists and is the most interesting "female Spider-Man" in the mainline Marvel universe. It also really helps that the art is fantastic. Stacey Lee is immediately in my top ten comic artists thanks to this book. B...

December Mercynaries

Hello Patreon Slapeggs, we're now in the season of winter holidays! And to celebrate that, it seems like Mercy is getting ready to fight a god. Somebody get that girl some bodypaint, a goatee, and some chain blades! Or better yet, call the Rulers; they seem to have experience beating up godly beings.

Huge thanks to everybody that contributed to the campaign that helped keep the site going and let us commission some bonuses! There's a fun commission in the works and we should have another i...

Last Month On Sins

Your super special Cyber Monday deal on Sins is a look back at everything we experienced in November!

"Cyber" has become a terrible word and that's a shame.

This weekend, I reached out to another artist for a commission, so a fancy one should be coming our way!

Last Week On Sins

http://sincomics.com/

Jin wakes up to find some help from friendly cave people swayed by how dang lovable Envy is. Never let anybody tell you that's not why they're helping. It's all Envy adorableness.

We also posted a new Mercynaries page (http://topwebcomics.com/vote/4549.. ) , holiday bonus art, and chapters 1 and 2 of Sins Fugue...

Happy Turkey Day!

To all our United Statesian Slapeggs, happy eat stuff, buy stuff, watch sports weekend and Turkey Day! To all the Slapeggs around the world, you can join in too or just have a happy weekend art.

I'm not sure if I'd trust Lust to be humanity's ambassador to the Rulers, but she seems to have the important bits down.

Sins Fugue In Book Form

With chapter 3 of Fugue starting and the holidays just around the corner (that timing worked out well), you can now get Sins Fugue chapters 1 and 2 in one convenient book form! All the laughs, loves, and lusts in one handy little volume. We've got a digital version and a physical version, both in glorious color! And with the smaller page sizes, the physical version is 8x6 and it looks rather cute. If you'd like to get a copy and show your support for lovable evil or indoctrinate a friend in the ...

Last Week On Sins

http://sincomics.com/

We end Chapter 2 of Fugue with insight into the Rulers and a faint glimmer of hope for the Sins. Actually, it was Jin. We still haven't seen Hope again.

We also posted a new Mercynaries page (http://topwebcomics.com/vote/4549/default.aspx ) , 3D bonus art, a survey on the Patreon page, and a little familial warmth!...

Motherly Pride

This week in bonus art, we look at the hazards of having a god-mom. When she tells you you're not eating enough, you better get eating! In retrospect, maybe Jin should have taken up the help.

Future Commissions

Now that we finally have a quality 3D model of a Sin, I wanted to get some feedback from the community on what kind of commissions you'd like to see moving forward. If we can keep at the funding pace we're on, I might be able to get some more commissions done. Would you rather see two regular commissions (like the sketches and character art we've normally had) a month or one regular commission a month with one bigger one (like this month's 3D model) a quarter? It's obviously dependent on which a...

Commission Milestone November 2015

We finally have some bonus art worthy of the Patreon milestone! Tired of just being the master of two dimensions, Lust is breaking out into the third-dimension! And doing it adoraaaaably. If you've seen something cuter than this today, well you probably work in a puppy factory or something because this is danged cute. There's some bonus "making of" and progress art just for you fine Patreon members too! Thanks for all your support and helping art like this get created!

Although he may be the Builder, Progress laid some knowledge out for the new Sins and tore them down a few pegs. Then he stepped on Sloth. Jerk!

Spa Mercy

Mercy at the spa was a big hit with young and old, so your weekend art is a glimpse at what she had to put up with at the end of the adventure. Poor Mercy, woe is her. Taking all the burden even though she's totally sweet and innocent and beloved by all.

Quick Critique: Ghostbusters: Get Real

The latest Ghostbusters comic series is dumb. Reaaaaallly dumb. I'm mad at myself for being susceptible enough to buying something like this, but it's fun. It would be less excusable if they tried to play it off as anything other than a cash grab, but they fully lean into it. The backgrounds for the firehouse have just random GB stuff in them from board games to foreign posters to a picture on the chalkboard done up like the sprites from the games. They even have a scene where they reference eve...

Melody's Melody

We have a brand new Melody picture from Melkorios! It's rough making friends when you're haunted by a demon with an odd sense of humor. To see more of Melkorios's work, head on over to:

Quick Critique: Bastion

If you approach it as a game, Bastion is pretty disappointing. It's just not that fun and it's mostly combat that isn't interesting. If you approach it as just an interactive story, you'll probably have a good time. The problems stem from the feeling that you're just there to be the catalyst to move the main character through the story rather than actually being a part of it or enjoying the gameplay. The most frustrating part of the game is that it's inconsistent. The enemies' areas of attack ar...
