Re: 280 Slides (beta) is live!

I was browsing the code for 280 Slides and I noticed a reference to Objective-J.js and I noticed a lot of Objective-C in your code. How were you able to get Objective-C to work for the web?

Re: What characters would you happily see disappear from GeekHero?

I just discovered this webcomic, I like it as much as XKCD... Ross's dumbness and the boss's blindness to the fact that Ross wreaks havoc with the company's code is a great idea!

However, if I could choose something to disappear, it wouldn't be a character, but the whole 3D aspect. Please bring back the 2D characters!

Please keep the 2D! Or have two versions, one 2D and the other 3D.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the lighting or whatever. 2D just keeps the whole mood of the story and the characters. 3D is too "fancy" and is distracting from the main story line. It was the wrong road to take, in my opinion.

Like Vitor said, everything is too "real." Keep the simplicity. That's what makes a good webcomic.

Again, please keep the 2D

:-)

Re: Estimated Time Of Arrival

shouldn't it be "estimated" and not "extimated" (which isn't a word)?
