Holy crap. I didn't even see this thread until this morning. Sorry for my long reply, it might be tl;dr.

My only complaint is that I sent Craig a congratulatory PM last week and he big-timed me and didn't reply.
I'm really sorry I didn't see your message... however, I replied to it just now. I never replied because (as I said in the PM to you) my message count said "You have no new messages". When I saw your post here I thought you were kidding, I got curious and had a look and... holy crap there's a message from used. My bad! Thanks for the congrats.

Haha, thank you Ugh. I haven't ever really ROFL'd after reading a webcomic, so I think we're just trying to explore that voice right now. Working on next week's comic
Craig stiffs Used, and this thread. What a humble guy. Pfffft just pulling your leg there Craig. What would that be in Aussie? Also, do you guys really hate New Zealanders?
If he never sees this, I'll never know.
I am a horrible person. I try really hard at it.
In Australia we generally just say "I'm just f***ing with you" or "I'm just giving you s***" or something. Also not all of us hate New Zealanders, but it's fun to make fun of them. Especially sheep related jokes. It's okay, they make fun of us too.
Also yes. I saw that.

Used, are you kidding - he's swimming in too much PUSSAAYY to be replying to PMs now.
It's awesome - I love it. Keep them up Craigy boy! Is this a weekly thing?
Ps - <3 GL
Haha oh wow. That's amazing... and man, thank you aye I do appreciate your comments, I'm glad you like the comic. It will be a weekly thing actually, the boys of GR and I brain storm ideas every week via e-mail and we're working on a schedule to get sketches done and approved followed by the final coloured comic.

Great first run. Guys you need to remember he's in Australia or the Netherworld or some such place.
Yup, I live on the planet Australia, AKA the Netherworld. I work in a basement where I am fed rats by those who wish me to commit my alchemy.

This is what i'm talking about. An Australian, down on his luck, comes across an American gaming website and together they become the biggest thing since frozen garlic bread.
Can I have the movie rights? I smell a Teen Choice Award.
That would make for a cool story and movie
haha. In all seriousness, it is different to be working with people overseas who I can't see face to face, but in saying that I'm really happy to do this and it's a very unique thing for me to do.
Thank you everyone for your positive comments, constructive criticism and general feedback, I really do appreciate it. And thank you again to the GR staff for giving me this opportunity. I love to draw and this is a great opportunity for me in terms of experience, potential exposure and adding to my portfolio.
I'm sorry that the comic is a bit big on screen. I tend to draw at high resolution because A - it gives me a lot more freedom and room to move, B - there is potential to print the comic if necessary and C - it just looks nicer and cleaner in the end. Hopefully in the next comic or so, we can rectify that issue. I run Google Chrome and I could read the comic just fine without having to full view it (granted... I do have a 24" monitor at 1920 x 1200 resolution) but in saying that when I did full view it, yeah, it was huge.
As I mentioned before in response to MattAY, yup, this comic is a weekly thing. The GR staff have given me a schedule of when the sketches and full comics need to be completed by. It works well with me because I do get busy "iRL" (unfortunately, not busy in a cool way - work, gym, judo, house work etc, I'm boring).
Thanks again everyone for your kind words and feedback.
