Ah, college life...how I have missed it. For the past five weeks or so, I've been on Christmas Break, and therefore I had nothing to do. I couldn't work on this site because I'd left my computer in my dorm room, so I was S.O.L.

Anyway, I'm back, and I've got a good bit of stuff for you guys. First off, there's some new links in the Other Resources section. The most notable of these is the webcomic No Game Is Sacred. Oh my stars, I have never run across a webcomic that made Hiryu into such a hilarious character.

I mean, sure, there's the one at Oldskooled, but Hiryu's only a supporting character in that one. In the No Game Is Sacred webcomic, he's one of the two main characters (the other being Trevor Belmont, believe it or not), and he's gay. He even carries a handbag!

That's art, people. Hiryu as a flamingly gay, handbag-toting über-ninja is the funniest thing I've seen in a LOOOONNNG time. If you don't agree, well...I can't help you there.

Of secondary importance are the doujinshis I put up in the Accomplices section. They were originally on Takoken's site, but since that site seems to be either on its way out or dead, I figured it's time to archive them here.

Unfortunately, they're all in Japanese, so unless someone out there wants to translate them, we're *all* S.O.L. on that count. And no, Elisa, I won't let you translate them. You're already working on enough stuff as it is.

Also, I found what is quite possibly the weirdest piece of Strider fanart ever. It's of Hiryu, naturally, but it's kind of an "Elseworlds" Hiryu, if you know what I mean. Imagine if Hiryu had been in the Lord of the Rings. How would he look? How would he dress? Would he still have spiked hair?

If you're curious, head on over to the Color Fanart Gallery and take a look.

...and if you're not curious, it's still going to be there. Sorry.

Anyway, I think that's it for this update. Take care, guys!
