Meowrowrrrl!

If you have been inexorably drawn to unique new McDonald's breakfast items, it may be because you have recently visited IGN. We looked at it a lot yesterday, an hour or so while we ferreted out the hidden meaning of the McDonald's Pantheon, and I want a McGriddle so Goddamn bad now it hurts. I'm going to get one of each kind and eat them right there in the fucking parking lot. I keep making a fist, reflexively.

Just wanted to clarify a few things about the next event since I got a few questions.

Just a quick update to let you all know that the info page for September's Gameday is live and you can see it right here. The game of the day is Savage this time so come on down and get your RTS/FPS fix.

I'm not sure if there is a slipperier slope than trying to determine creative primacy, and the slope in question is further lubricated by the fact that we're talking about not only popular culture but also literary heritage and folklore. Everyone borrows. Some borrow more than others, and we have laws to govern that sort of double-dipping. But it remains to be seen whether the court will find in White Wolf's favor where the movie Underworld is concerned.

If you could take a second and help us out with a little survey in the forum that would be swell.

I thought I would share some new CTS artwork with you all. Click on the thumbnail below to see the full image.

There are lots of good questions in the forum and since only ten of them will get picked for the interview I figured I’d answer a few here.

Guy's Night Out for us is essentially the same as Guy's Night In. I don't think they like it very much, but we take the Cube over to Lanwerx a couple nights a week with the GBAs and play Crystal Chronicles. It's just some neutral Switzerland everybody can get to.. We don't, um... pay them anything, we just go over to the couch and plug in our own console. I doubt that's regulation. They haven't said anything yet, though I really try to emphasize it when I purchase a Jolt Cola from the vending machine, as if to say "These Quarters Weigh A Thousand Of Your Earth Pounds."

A few people asked who is in the picture up there. So from left to right you have Porkfry, Tycho, and Brad. I am the one taking the picture. We don't look anything like the characters in the strip because we didn't realize the characters were actually us until the second year. If that makes you angry I don’t really care. You’re ugly too, so stop fucking mailing me about it.

I suppose if there is a problem with Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, it’s that only four people can play. This can result in some friends feeling a bit left out.

Comixpedia is asking the community for questions that they will then ask us in an interview later this month. If you want to ask us something post your questions here.

Sorry it took so long but here are some great pictures from our last Lanwerx Gaming Day. I’d like to say thanks again to Bungie for coming down and showing off Halo 2 as well as Halo PC. Also thanks to all the PA fans that showed up, I hope you all had as good a time as we did.

We played Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles for about six hours straight the other day. I respect the fact that lots of you are not interested in this game because it requires so many hard to find peripherals, like GBA’s, link cables and living breathing human beings.

Just a quick update here, a bunch of really interesting news popped up today.

Explaining this strip would be impossible, except to say that it is - like the Claw Shrimp strip - a precise transcript of a conversation. I know that there are people who come by Penny Arcade exclusively for the cock talk, and who are we to deny them?
