Ask and ye shall receive!

Just like the blistered, hungry dead, Armadeaddon itself lumbers - toward its inevitable conclusion. There are two more installments, or perhaps I should say there is one more installment and then an epilogue. Because that is the caliber of site we operate: a site with epilogues and denouements and perhaps even the occasional finale.

You can download homebrewed ROMs for the Fruit Fucker that enhance the efficiency of the feed reamer or allow you to juice via SMS. I'd read on FFHacks.com tweaking boards that the machine had an array of sensors that had no apparent juicing purpose. Of course, "hackzors" up to their spectacles in system-level code are probably the last people to read the manual.

If you'd like to submit some questions for the PAX panels next week, we won't stop you.  Indeed, we might actively encourage such a thing.

We'll return to those two in a moment - for now, let's get a look at our supposed protagonists. What are they doing? Let's find out. Did they make any new friends?

It's "limited," but not that limited.  There's fifteen hundred of them total, if you are interested.

The World of Warcraft CCG is just around the corner. Upper Deck is letting us premier a few of the cards I did here on the site. The first one is the Leeroy Jenkins card.

We have done things in the past which were not "for" you, or anybody else for that matter. That isn't what's goin' on now. What's going on now is we are shoveling dense chunks of fanservice into the site's iron belly, and increased fervor in that chamber makes each comic bend and groan to please you.

You may be wondering what happened to the lever that regulates the amount of fan-service that flows into a given strip. This lever has been tugged free of the housing. You can only pull it in the open air now, and it does nothing to staunch the flow. Before this thing is over, you motherfuckers will need scuba gear.

The recently conducted Xfire chat has now been collated into this easy to digest transcript.  In case you wanted to digest it. 

In addition, the latest page of our insane Prey project has now gone online.  Just click the link on the left, for "We Have Visitors." 

Also!   Your mom is trying to get a hold of you.  You should give her a call.

PAX is not the new E3. E3 failed. If someone else wants to be the new E3 they are welcome to it. They can even set up shop in the carcass of the giant and claim his power, but E3 is dead and it died for a reason. If I were them I wouldn't be in such a hurry to stuff myself in that coffin, and I certainly wouldn't boast about it.

I hate to do it but let’s talk about Jack Thompson for just a moment. He’s been relatively quite since our last encounter but with Bully on the horizon he’s popped up again. His recent appearance on G4 has everyone talking about him and that is exactly how Jack wants it. The man is a media whore and by putting him on television you’re just giving him what he wants. Not only that but G4 decided to put him on television with two people who are incapable of going toe to toe with him. Whatever you want to say about Jack, the guy is a lawyer and he knows how to handle himself in these sorts of debates. We all think Jack is nuts but Adam is the only person on that tape who comes off as being crazy. The guy can’t even preach to the choir for God’s sake. Mark seems like a decent guy and he stays calm but I don’t think he did any preparation for this. You can’t go up against someone like Jack and just “wing it”. Jack keeps is cool and essentially runs the show. G4 should have just given Jack his own half hour program. Maybe only schedule twelve re-runs of X-Play and then just slip in the Jack Thompson show.

Penny Arcade Armadeaddon continues - into territory more horrifying than you could possibly imagine.

Finally some video of this game hits.  I found the fourth one pretty frightening. 

Defcon is the latest game from Introversion, the ones that brought us Uplink and then Darwinia.  All I've seen of it thus far was the intriguing WOPRian screenshots they had released - I've essentially only had those shots and my strong faith in the developer to keep me warm on cold nights.

I had a lot of requests for a wallpaper based on Frank and the last panel of today’s strip. So here it is:
