Most renaissance artists were paid to paint? Does that mean nothing of the period is art? The problem is it is a lot more expensive to make a really good/artistic game than it is to paint a painting, and most game designers don't have the $$$ to build a studio unless they have a publisher behind them and the publish will only back them if they think it will sell. So the purpose of selling games is to support the game designer/studio as much as selling paintings is to support the artist/studio.

I've been reading it since BEFORE it was at keenspace, and I'm willing to bet I am one of the few to do that. Machall's writing is pretty good, the comic 'apologies to drew' is funny, but it is loosely based on my brother who shares an apartment with Matt Boyd. I wish it were updated more often.

They aren't that rare, I think every Mel Brooks movie comes double sided(And in the end, isn't that all that matters?).
