I just want to say I’m sorry to leave you hanging in the middle of a storyline but my exams have started and my priorities have shifted, this week there won’t be a comic, I’ll try my best to have a comic next week, but I’m not promising anything. Exams are always a drag, and I’ll do my best to not fail anything so I can update the comic faster and play a draft (I REALLY need to draft, I’m beginning to have a draft deficiency in my blood and that’s not good!).

If you’re feeling  like announcing some kind of impending doom, hold right there! Breaking the Magic isn’t going to end anytime soon, I think you can understand my situation and I honestly have to say that I’m not really fond of missing updates, but it’s a necessary evil.

Keep passing by and/or keep watching the feed, more news will ensue in the next days.

Go read MTGSalvation or participate on their forums if you need something to entertain yourself. If you’re portuguese (or at least understand the language, go check this place and this place.). If those sites don’t make up for the loss of your weekly comic you can always check the sidebar on the right, it has lots of cool links, they’re all there for a good reason.

Well, I’ve had my share of people complaining about there being no comic this week :sad:

Sorry guys, but my exams are more important the comic right now. I’ll try to compensate when I’m on vacation (with more comics and/or wallpapers).

Meanwhile, last night I had a little time off from studying and put up a shop, yes you now can buy Breaking the Magic T-shirts, there’s a shop for the USA and for Europe, just choose what’s  closer to you for minimum shipping costs and delivery time. (prices vary between shops because they don’t have exactly the same products) When I have some time I’ll make some other designs, so if you have a suggestion I’ll consider it for a future shirt.

I’ve also installed some handy plugins on the site. One of the plugins shows  a window with a thumbnail on all external links once you over the mouse over them (if you don’t like this you can disable it in that same window), very cool if you ask me  :razz: Other things I installed were a smiley list near the comment form so you don’t have to remember the smiley’s code, and last but not least, below the comment form you now have an option to get updates on the next comments after you comment, it’s convenient if you’re following a conversation and don’t want to be reloading the site every 5 minutes.

Oh, I also cleared up the sharing menu, now if you want to share this comic on a social group or e-mail it to a friend just click the “share this” link and a menu will appear.

Those guys at Wizards are choosing someone to go to the Invitational through user votes on their boards.

An Invitational is, for all of you that don’t know, a tournament top players are invited (who would guess?) to go, the prize is nothing less than the opportunity to design a magic card where creator usually appears in the art. I think it’s a tournament all Magic players dream to go, even more than Pro Tours.

I wish all the luck for those guys, BUT as I am portuguese I ask of all portuguese (and even non-portugueses) to vote for Tiago Chan, so we can have a Tuga (it’s slang, meaning “someone from Portugal”) with a possibility to design a card! Come on people, start voting, do it for the team, even if you have to register on the Wizards board only to vote.

Tugas Power!

I’m not slacking off guys. I’m still holding my ground on the exams battlefield.

While you’re around check out some wallpapers i did. It’s my personal view of Bogardan Hellkite.
