Savor The Savior

By Tycho – August 29, 2005

We actually completed the comic on stage, a process Gabriel assures me is terror itself, but he's at the doctor for a kind of pain I had never heard of, so getting ahold of the strip is difficult. It does feature the Messiah, and I hear some of you are into that. At some future point, this link will connect you to the strip in question, which I have entitled "Savor The Savior." It's not about holy communion, but I can understand why you'd be confused.

Splinter Cell Co-Op Maps Are Out, Kinda

Nobody can get them to work, but they have been "released," to the extent that even makes sense. My Xbox has been "donated" to PAX, it's in a crate with a hundred other machines, so I wouldn't have been able to play it anyway. It's actually a comfort to know it doesn't work.

Resetting Nintendogs

This can be accomplished by starting the game, and immediately holding down A, B, X, Y, R, and L. I'm pretty sure.

The Rigors Of Pet Ownership

By Tycho – August 24, 2005

Precisely who does one call when they find someone has been abusing their virtual pet? Is there no celebrity associated with this cause? Because I think it's fair to assume that the phenomenon is on the rise.

Dark Iron

By Gabe – August 23, 2005

The battle between PA and PvP continues to rage on Dark Iron. When our guilds started on this server it was essentially brand new. Now I have about a twenty minute wait every night just to log in. Fans of both comics have absolutely swarmed the serve. We’ve had the occasional server hic up but for the most part it’s been smooth sailing. We’ve decided to try and limit the number of people we take into raids and that has seemed to help. Honestly the wait really doesn’t bother me, like I said before this PA vs PvP thing is the most fun I’ve had in WOW and I’ve been playing since the beta.

PAX

By Gabe – August 22, 2005

If you still aren’t sure exactly what this whole PAX thing is, you should check out this interview over at Gamecloud. Our man Mike Fehlauer does a good job of explaining what the Penny Arcade expo is all about. We have five different nick names for Mike here at the office but I honestly don’t think I can repeat any of them. I promise you they are extremely clever insults that sound very similar to his real name but call into question his sexual orientation.

Purge 2: The Purgening

By Tycho – August 22, 2005

When I was writing that book for Dark Horse last week, I moved the speakers off my desk and onto Gabe's, with disastrous results. Yes, we only have one set. No, I don't remember why. Stores do sell this kind of thing.

Dark Messiah

By Tycho – August 19, 2005

Usually when I heard that a brand has been spun off into some other take on the franchise I cringe instinctively. That's not exactly fair, because some of my favorite games have been born in this way: Final Fantasy Tactics is an excellent game in it's own right, thought it leveraged the most potent brand in the universe. Heroes of Might and Magic itself was a spinoff, and you'd be a fool to hold that against it.

A Cavern Of PAX Delights!!!

By Tycho – August 19, 2005

We got to thinking that since the show isn't 24 hours, and there are some types of games that require a little more permanence, we'd take advantage of the ballroom the Doubletree gave us so you could kind of create your own convention.

Kaschwein

By Tycho – August 19, 2005

Reactions to the Xbox 360 pricing have been all over the place, most of what I've seen is bad, but at the end of the day I doubt it really matters. People buy what they want to buy, even if it places them in mortal danger.
