I feel okay mentioning WOW today since it sort of relates to the comic. Most of you know by now that I play a mage on Darkiron and that means my class is next in line for a talent review. I’m pretty excited about this, watching them rework the various classes has been awesome and they seem to be getting better at it as they go. I’m looking forward to seeing what they have in store for the mages.

Holy shit.

Yeah, so...  It's not just Heroes of Might and Magic V - Ubisoft has made it official.  They're moving away from the Starforce product altogether.  There is an orchestra in my heart.

He told me that human slavery was not explicitly forbidden by the World of Warcraft EULA, to which I replied that the World of Warcraft EULA probably doesn't supercede international law.

New podcast is awailable! Sample its unique flavor.

Are there no depravations to which you gamers will not descend?  No sin you will not contemplate?  Is there no injury, sir, is there no damage you will not scratch into the edifice of decency and right living?   

On forums of wanton reputation, I sometimes hear that Games Workshop - Games Workshop - has stolen this or that from Blizzard, and that odious charge will only grow in volume and intensity as screens and news of Warhammer Online achieve wider circulation. There is no small amount of danger involved in presenting this notion: as proof, I offer Exhibit A.

The shirts we mentioned before - shirts bearing the following design:

I got some cool mail from people thanking me for the art blogs I linked to yesterday. I figured if you like those you should also check out John K’s blog. You probably know him better as the guy who made Ren and Stimpy. The thing I love about him is that he really seems like a complete asshole. That’s something I appreciate it a person.

I would sooner acquire crabs, but Microsoft has decided to acquire Lionhead - adding their uniqueness to its own. We have created a strange comic about it. Since Lionhead only really makes games for Microsoft platforms, this is sort of like paying someone to accept money.

As a rule, I one hundred percent do not paste press release information without significant editorial accompaniment. I may have to ratchet that down to around 99%.

We made another Podcast yesterday. I think I say something about vaginas so you might not want to listen to it at work. Or at least put some headphones on. We got stuck writing and went to get some lunch. Then when we came back we forgot to turn the mic back on. So this one ends a little bit before we come up with the final comic. I hope you like it, you can grab it here.

I had mentioned it before, but I was not aware that there was a cost associated with it. There is! The cost is fifteen dollars.

Kiko just sent me this link - If you are very busy and don't want to click it, essentially what has happened is that Apple is officially sanctioning dual-booting to Windows on their new Macs. There have been many attempts, and even a few successes, but the official seal is something I did not expect. The only missing piece is really driver support, hopefully the royal signet can bring that to fruition.

During the panel at the Emerald City comic con I promised to post a couple things. Someone in the audience asked about Penny Arcade toys and I informed them that I had just completed the turnarounds for the characters. For those of you unfamiliar with the term it just means I drew each character from the front and from the back. It’s pretty boring stuff so I never posted it. Apparently this guy at the con was an animation student and he spends a good chunk of everyday thinking about or making turnarounds. So he asked me to post mine.
