I don't want to frighten those in the readership who may be involved in broadcast television, but whenever I start watching a lot of TV what that tells me is that I need a new MMO.

Wow, that escalated quickly! There is even a humerous web video! Kotaku has an article that covers how this whole Ocean Marketing thing is winding down. It seems Ocean Marketing is “out of business” and Paul is no longer representing the Avenger. A new PR guy has been brought in to try and right their sinking ship. I think it’s fair to try and separate Paul’s actions from the actual product. It’s very possible that he was simply the marketing guy here but I’ve also heard that he is at least a part owner in N-control the company that makes the Avenger. I’ll be very curious see how this all shakes out.
We weren't entirely certain how long Semen "Week" could possibly last; we simply had two strips, two data points, which was enough to draw a line. But it's not like we're philosophically dedicated to the fluid. Plus, I have someone in my employ who is obligated to create literally any logo I tell him to. Like this one, let's say.
I just wanted to post an update with some of the stuff that has happened over on my end with regards to all this Ocean Marketing stuff.
I got an incredible email today from a Penny Arcade reader. Dave shared with me an email chain between him and Ocean Marketing (the folks behind the Avenger controller) Trust me when I tell you that this is one wild ride. I'm serious, Mr. Toad would look at this ride and just give a slow clap while shaking his head. I have tried to arrange this as best I can in chronological order. I've also removed email addresses and other private information. So let's just jump right in, here is Dave's first mail to Ocean Marketing:
It's the most wonderful time of the year! That's right, I'm talking about
This week, on a very special Penny Arcade TV...
I wore the only sweats I had one day, ancient sweats, because I had to go to the gym and be debased by a man I'm ostensibly paying to improve me. Their coating of wholly undefined materials in the "cream" color spectrum brought me no end of abuse at work, which lead to today's strip. It's here, and that's how we're kicking off...
I quit playing the Star Wars Beta months ago because I didn’t want to spoil the game for myself. I think that statement alone says a lot about the sort of MMO Star Wars is. Now that the game has launched Kara and I have jumped back in and we’re having a great time. We have not experienced any of the long queue times or crazy lag that so many people seem to be complaining about. I understand that there are plenty of people having technical issues with the game but I can’t speak to that.
The TRIUMPHANT RETURN! etc.
These people are catching whatever you have and they are getting SICK. You are catalyzing the end Goddamn times!
you don't even love Jesus!
THAT IS ALL.
Looking over these Dickerdoodle submissions I have to say that you guys are some of the most offensive monsters I have ever seen. I love this kind of stuff but I am constantly amazed at how many of you share my love of the "wrong". You're like my own perverted version of Dumbledore's army.

Today's strip comes to us by way of Chuck Wojtkiewicz and Rocky Vanoost of Blur Studio, which is one of the most "hidden in plain sight" entities in existence. Any incredible game trailer you could care to name was probably done at Blur Studio, including that incredible Star Wars: The Old Republic one that launched a thousand pre-orders. They're game trailers that could make you believe in Star Wars again, which is something of a feat at this late hour.
