Both at Saturday's LAN party and online, people seem to know how to exit a plane in Battlefield 1942 just fine - however, the parachute phase seems to give them a bit of trouble. As much fun as it is to sing "It's Raining Men," we thought it time for a public service announcement on the topic.
Sean Rogers Extraordinaire wrote in to say Amazon has the best price on Moonbase Commander, if you're interested. Sixteen bucks? Yow!
The official rapper of Penny Arcade - indeed, our rapper laureate - has completed our theme song. It is delicious to the ear. Just clicking on it doesn't seem to work, but "Save As" seems to be just fine. In his mail announcing it, he gave me a link that illuminated the chorus - but alas, I was already lighted sufficiently. C-64 for life.
We got to the Necrowombicon just fine, no thanks to Yahoo Maps - which happens to be the topic of today's strip. Our directions didn't even go to the hotel. They went underwater.
Enterprising hackers have secured us a wireless internet connection for the LAN here. We do appreciate their efforts.
Before we have a full-on page that is good for mobile devices, we do have a very old one done by our friend Sam.
Necrowombicon 2 guy Fatrick sends along the following info regarding this weekend's festivities:
I would like to welcome everyone to Fuck Day!
You know, the con guy! With the thing! He has been found!
Except for (perhaps) Jesus Christ, no birthday in history is accompanied by as much fanfare as Gabe's. He's incorrigible. It's fucking August, and already I can't wait for his special day to come and go, mostly go. We haven't decided whether this strip will inspire an ill-advised foray into treacherous Continuity, but I thought it proper to warn you in advance.
So, Oz is essentially a soap opera about domination, for men. It's great!
All I have for you today are a few quick updates.
Got a couple movies.
Our recent arcade experience was absolutely bewildering.
It's like this. Batjew is in the process of losing his job. We need to find Batjew - a.k.a. Alexander Goldstein - some gainful employment, and we need to find it right away. At his current rate of Altoid consumption, we project that he will burn through his savings in two weeks, and that's where you come in. He's up in Vancouver, B.C., he has a host of IT skills, and he takes this sort of thing very seriously. If you need somebody in Vancouver, or you're in the market anywhere for a remote tech to telecommute, I think we may have your man. Check out the resume, drop him a line, and let's do this thing.
