Comrades!

After at least two weeks of searching, I finally uncovered that which I thought impossible to acquire. Yet again I will be distracted by a "new" game and the pile of unfinished ones will continue to pile up. A sad state of affairs, but I suppose that will always be the norm.

This week brings us a slightly smaller column, but that doesn't mean that the quality is any lower! Noreen Rana returns again to this place on the internet to share quite an odd date of sorts between two very different personalities. Well okay, Shyguys doesn't technically have a personality, but damn it, they need love too. Following that number is Kidaru's Final Fantasy XIII piece of the ever enigmatic "Lightning." Will any further delays be in the future? Perhaps only Kidaru can help us out (but I bet the answer is always going to yes until at least 2217 when the Robot Overlords will determine if we deserve it or not). Ending this week on a less depressing, post-apocalyptic note, EbonyRaven delivers the cutest clay Chocobo I've ever seen in my life.

As always, send in those fan arts for next week. Also remember that if you or someone you know was an OmniArt winner/second place/runner-up/etc. that did not receive their prize to please e-mail me your information including: your name, your mailing address, title of art, and contest page link so that I can jump into getting this resolved. Has your humble narrator ever failed you before? Well...er... maybe you shouldn't answer that now, but believe in shroudie.

Steven Ardo has a Romanticism painting due on Tuesday, will he have time this weekend to actually go out? Stay tuned.
