Because I think Star Wars is a "neat" series wrapped around a single truly excellent movie, I am not the man you want to come to for the rock-ribbed enthusiast's perspective. Indeed, I'm more likely to suggest a comic like today's. I did pick up the new THX-1138 boxed set, which I like a lot, but I like any movie that implies that things could always get worse.

I just wanted to let you all know that the “Baby vs. Rhino” shirt is now available at our online store. We even have a baby doll version for you girls or you guys who are really fucked up. In case you are wondering what the hell this is all about, check out this comic.

I've got two new articles from Stormy over in the Hook Up section, and I can't decide which one I like better because I love them both so much.

And now, the conclusion of Undisclosed Propensities. For the longest time, Continuity was something I associated with bad flavors and poor manners. It most certainly did not come over and hang out. Hopefully you were not inconvenienced a very great deal by our antics, which have been arrested in the very moment before a holiday software deluge that won't subside for another three months. Clearly, our services are required.

I’m getting lots of mail from people about my Fable post. I’d say it is split right down the middle between people who agree the game is a waste of time and people who really enjoy it. Someone mentioned in an email to me that Fable is the sort of game you either love or hate and I think that’s true.

I was worried that when Fable came out I’d get sucked in and I wouldn’t have time to play Burnout 3 and Phantom Brave. So I’m actually kind of glad that Fable was a huge disappointment.

You'd heard what I have, what everybody has - the first release candidate of Half-Life 2 has been sent to Vivendi Universal. At this point, they'll test the shit out of it and determine if it's ready for retail release. From what I've seen, any other company would have released it already. They're perfectionists is all. Locals have been playtesting it for months.

The penultimate entry.

Enter... the Obsidian Spur.

I don’t think that Penny Arcade is a webcomic. I’m honestly not sure it’s ever been one. For me PA is a diary, and so I hope you’ll all forgive me if I spend this morning recounting a particularly incredible day I had recently.

The saga continues.

It is a very good thing that we had the foresight to produce today's comic on Wednesday, as I am typing this newspost from the Goddamn maternity ward while Gabriel paces out there in the hallway.

They have it over at 3D Gamers now, I'll probably hop on that torrent. This DLX thing is taking Goddamn forever.

I just saw this go up over at Gamespot's download site, DLX - here you go. It has a single player level, as well as a skirmish mode.

You might be wondering how we can turn this into a storyline. I guess you'll just have to wait and see. We have a lot to discuss, so let's move forward.

Here is a pretty awesome picture of the line out in front of the convention center before PAX. Click on the thumbnail for the full picture.
