Gaming News: "Pokelike"

I'm going to start this writeup with the admission that I have strong anti-Zynga bias. I block all Zynga game invites. I've stopped playing Draw Something. And I apologize to friends that work there whenever I talk to them.
One of the reasons I have such a problem with Zynga is because of their blatant IP theft. They lift games, sometimes wholesale. It's ridiculous and they make zero apology for it. So why am I "on about it" this time? Montopia. On the surface it looks like a Pokemon send-up and it does indeed hawk elements of the beloved monster battling franchise, but it's really a veritable Rage of Bahamut clone.
Alrighty, I'll climb back down off my soapbox now.

I wanted to apologize for the severely late comics these last few days. I'm working on two projects that I'm hoping you guys will get a look at soon, while also trying to wrap up my last few commissions from last month.
