Barely Out Of Beta # 2
Okay, I know I said it'd be a week before we'd have the next strip out, but given the overwhelming demand by our fans (hi Mum!), we've leapt into number two.
Hmmm, that sounded bad. Suffice to say, we've done another comic strip.
WARNING: If you didn't see the first Barely Out Of Beta then this won't make a lick of sense. But hey, maybe you like living in a mysterious universe- it's up to you.
(I was really tempted to have a ragged little voice at the end, coming out of the fight, saying "Did someone mention ten dollars?". But comics are about distilling down to the essence of joke, and you only have so much room. So I didn't push Steve to shove yet another bloody balloon over his gorgeous artwork.)
We realise there's only so many RIA acronym gags you can make before people, well, gag (and believe me, we still had heaps more!). So you'll be pleased to know that soon we'll be taking potshots at others areas of this great, wide development landscape...

Hey Scott, you know all of us at Nectarine are compliment sluts. We'll take flattery from anyone, even Dr. Phil! Well, Ok, maybe we'd be more likely to give that smarmy pop-psychologist a slap up the side of the head, but anyone else who wants to say nice things is fine :)
