Yes, that was a great series.
I've gone to some gaming forums to play online, as well as get better with GFXing. Some of them died out pretty fast, only had a handful of GFXers, and the other one got me stressed out to the point of depression due to many things, mostly drama, people leaving the site, etc.
I did write a lot about why I came back on my blog, and I'm glad to be back because PC's Graphic Designers are the most inspiring of all the ones I've seen.
