Ripped From The Headlines is now complete. Now that the first quarter rush is upon us, those would-have-been-holiday titles are wailing and beating on the window to be let in. We shall indulge them.

My God these new screens from the upcoming EQ2 adventure pack are terrible. I mean, take a look at this one.

Page four of our eight page Brothers in Arms comic book is up. This is actually my favorite page. The game actually drops this week if you’re interested.

Courtroom drama begins to simmer in today's episode of Ripped From The Headlines.

Just a quick note that we did pick up Tekken 5 today and it’s hot. It really feels like a return to the good old days of Tekken, before the weird shit they tried to pull with 4. It also looks incredible. I had seen Virtua Fighter 4 on the PS2 so I thought I sort of knew what the machine was capable of. The graphics here are way above what I thought the PS2 could handle. We’re gonna spend some more time with it, but my initial impressions are that it’s the best Tekken game to date.

Hey, so we know who all is going to be playing at PAX this year:

We continue to Rip from today's headlines here, where we learn the cut of Robert Greasy's jib. Spoiler: the cut is somewhat nefarious. It is an ambitious, mercenary jib.

Today is the birthday of Rupert Holmes, the man responsible for the second greatest song ever written. His song “Escape” also known as “The Pina Colada Song” is a work of genius.

That's all I'm saying.

I think it’s important to note that the following paragraph contains a link to what the ladies call “pornography”. A lot of people mail me and ask how they know if their webcomic strip is successful. I think that when your merchandise is worn by one of the internet’s most popular models in an erotic photo shoot, you can safely assume you have attained some small measure of success.

Ripp'd From Today's Headlines continues. See? What did I tell you. Not bleak or anything. Well, it's a little bleak. But it's not inaccurate.

If you can't laugh at a man accidentally killing the woman he loves, then what can you laugh at? Honestly if you didn't laugh at today's comic strip that's okay. It just means you're a decent human being. If you did laugh at the strip then I guess I'll see you in whatever special level of hell is reserved for people like us. We probably won't recognize each other though, since our bodies will be covered in weeping sores. Saying hello will also be difficult with a mouth full of bees. Maybe we can just nod at each other before we are dunked in boiling pitch by cackling horned demons.

What's this? Oh no! I'd be happy to leave it like this, of course - but it does actually go somewhere. The title of the strip might give you a clue as to where exactly that might be. I think Gabriel drawed this one purty-like.

It's up a day early over at Fileplanet, and not just for them fancy dancy paying members neither. I've got about half of it so far.

Everytime I think I understand the way things are supposed to go on the new box, I fuck it up. The post was way late, and not because I was just lazy this time, which you could be forgiven for thinking. A direct link to the strip can be found here. I don't know why it's not showing up and I am thinking of joining a Luddite farming commune.
