Fruit Fucker Prime is now available in the form of a very nice 8x10 laser cell. This is one of our smaller not so limited edition prints. It looks real nice though and it’s the perfect size to put up in your cubicle, your locker or even your prison cell.

It's been two weeks since PA took root on the Dark Iron server with the intent of crushing the Horde. Hundreds of people have mailed me to tell me that playing in a PA guild and battling the Pandas has reignited their love of the game. Speaking personally I can say that I intended this mage character to be an alt, but I've haven't played my level 60 rogue in two weeks. I'm having such a fucking blast on Dark Iron it's ridiculous. Last night I grouped with players from "Cardboard Samurai" and "Annarchy" in an effort to complete some quests that were a bit high for me. It's just cool to know that you can fall in with any of these people and be confident that it's gonna be a good group.

Many gamers aren't aware that there is a place for those desperately in need of skillz, a judgement-free environment where you can invest points in the ability trees that interest you. Please call today.

I’d like to draw your attention to some new shirts over at Gameskins.com. Kiko has introduced a baby ringer version of his Jenkins Academy design. Also you can now pick up his defuse kit design in the form of a T-Shirt or a hoodie.

People often ask me how we write the comics. What the process is like. Let me lay out an average “strip day” for you.

We couldn't really say anything before it was announced, but the Penny Arcade card game from Sabertoof is a part of their "Universal Fighting System," a term which probably didn't make any sense. Well, they just announced their Soul Calibur set, so now you have a better idea what they're going for. Every set is mechanically compatible, so Gabe fighting Mitsurugi (or whatever) is entirely possible and perhaps even encouraged. Even if the idea of a PA set didn't turn your crank, there's probably some SC enthusiasts who might "dig" it.

It's just a fact that Gabriel doesn't know shit about Lakeshire, let alone the surrounding Redridge Mountains. The creatures we were after are about ten paces out of town, indeed, you can see one wave a furry paw from the hills that overlook it. Instead, we were treated to giant birds, vicious boars, baby dragons, and the war-skilled orcs of the Blood Drinker clan. What was his fucking plan, here? Was I supposed to catch them all?

I feel really bad about destroying all the work we’ve done for the last seven years. It really is unfortunate that I melted everything we’ve ever created. I think that we need to look at the bright side though. I think we all learned an important lesson about backing up your files. We also learned that no matter how much money you invest in a back up system, it will never even come close to the amount of money the hard drive witch doctors will charge you in order to recover your fried data. The good news is that all the files can be saved. We dodged that bullet.

I can remember being so proud of him three years ago when he braved the Morlocks at CompUSA and picked up a little USB backup drive. Now, I'm not even sure he knew what he was buying. This is what he did when he got it: he copied every crucial thing off of his computer, to the backup drive, at which point he imagined some mysterious process was, shit, I don't know. Mummifying his data. Our data, everything we've ever done.

I’m not sure if it’s okay to link to someone who says nice things about you. You might remember a while back we created an illustrated journal to go along with Brothers in Arms from Gearbox. Well in his most recent blog the writer for the game talks about the experience from his end. I would like to say thanks to Mikey for the kind words. Being given the opportunity to develop a character for such an amazing game was a real honor.

Okay check out this thread for information on joining the Knights or the Lads.

I’ve been having a great time on Dark Iron lately with the rest of the PA fans. The Pandas seem to try and hit us every night which makes for some of the most intense WOW I’ve ever played. I’m proud to say that the two guilds we stared the Knights of Arcadia and the Fancy Lads are really doing great. Everyone for the most part is following my don’t be a dick rule and I met some great people. I’m also proud of all the other PA related guilds on Dark Iron like Cardboard Samurai and Annarchy. I’ve seen quite a few other PA guilds during my travels and I’ve been impressed by them every single time. In my opinion we are all members of one giant PA guild.

So we had to ask the Hyatt very, very nicely if they would house our people. They have agreed to. So, if you aren't set up yet, check out the hotel info page on the PAX site - they got a map and ever'thing.

I guess I didn't get the job, but then I got another job? Some kind of ass thing? Ask Gabe, I guess.
