I discuss ennui relating to the coming media apocalypse in the imminent podcast, but I am only one of two people who operate this website and we are not always of one mind. Even if a person were interested in high-definition content to drive their robust new display, internecine warfare poised to fragment the industry, ravage your technology investment, and punish early adopters isn't exactly an aphrodisiac.
Many of you asked about it so I’ll go ahead and mention it here. Downloadable Content, The Penny Arcade Podcast is now available on iTunes. You can hit their podcast section for a complete archive of the shows we’ve done so far.

Like Twisp and Catsby, we have tried to keep adventures in his faux-feudal context restricted to more or less annual affairs because we are polite. We do not assume that rodent liberation, psychic birds, or even comparatively mainstream wordless meditations are topics of general interest.

I feel okay mentioning WOW today since it sort of relates to the comic. Most of you know by now that I play a mage on Darkiron and that means my class is next in line for a talent review.

New podcast is awailable! Sample its unique flavor.

I got some cool mail from people thanking me for the art blogs I linked to yesterday. I figured if you like those you should also check out John K’s blog. You probably know him better as the guy who made Ren and Stimpy. The thing I love about him is that he really seems like a complete asshole. That’s something I appreciate it a person.
