So this is what he was planning to do after Homestuck was over. I have to say, I wasn't expecting this at all, but it's sort of his job to do things people don't expect him to do, so... Good move, Hussie.
Before I read the article, I was confused about the whole "people make retro game characters date" thing. Now I'm interested to see what this ends up looking like. Also, I'm looking forward to the inevitable shipping of Mappy and a Galaxian. Someone is going to do it eventually. This is the Internet, after all. Someone probably has, for that matter, but it'll be funnier in this context.

Also, the article featured one of those "also on this site" link boxes that led me to a Galaga comic written by Ryan North and illustrated by the guy from Dr. McNinja. I think I like this site.

It's an interesting concept, one that if successful could probably bring out spin-offs from different companies or even different genres.
I definitely think it's something to look out for.
