Kotaku is, like any other coherent entity, an ingot of unforgivable sin anodized with a millimeter of virtue. Look, I don’t know what I tell you: I grew up in Church. I’m saying nothing about Kotaku that I wouldn’t say about myself. I go to Kotaku like a hundred times a day. I’ve described on many occasions how their job is not actually possible and I have tremendous sympathy for what is required of them - to be both universal and incisive in their every word and deed - in an endless, recursive, public hellscape of Sisyphus two-point-oh. If Amy…

We were still talking about Big Bang Theory after we wrote Friday’s Strip, and how my mom likes it because “that’s how I am,” which is a comment that is abrasive to the surface of the brain. I can’t speak for other people’s moms, I can only speak for mine: I think it might be tough for a while if your boy isn’t the kind of boy you would use a capital B to describe. One who isn’t maybe a one hundred percent on board with the boyly virtues. These are moms who spent a lot of time in terror that their boys were going to get the shit…

This is just a conversation we had, but it could probably do with a bit of aftermarket modification. Gabriel and I have both been waiting for Kiko to watch Star Trek: Discovery, and we aren’t the only ones. Kiko is not given to broad overtures. He has clearly defined reasons for why he likes things - maybe appreciates things is a more appropriate, more Kiko term. One of Kiko’s jobs, even if it isn’t written down anywhere, is literally to say No. A Kiko no is not like other nos. A Kiko no, even if we don’t pull it apart and zoom in, is the…

It was “The Christmas In September” yesterday, and Grab was surprisingly reasonable. There was very little lording over which was a delicious change of pace. This moment of gentle reflection would not have been grist for a comic strip. The actual birth of the product will be catalogued in a Podcast not long from now, but in the meantime here is a strip to tide you over. I do feel like I’ve written negative one novels, though; that part is real. I have a fantasy that it’s simply not the right time, but I don’t know if that’s actually…

I tend to think of games in terms of lineage. It’s a two tier system where the games themselves have something like progeny, but the designers also exist in a kind of parallel continuum. There’s people where I’m simply going to buy any game they make, and there’s franchises I’ll endure no end of abuse from. So, let’s take a look at where Dropmix exists. Frequency was the first time I’d ever heard of Harmonix, but it wasn’t my first experience with Rhythm Games. It’s possible to think of the Tempest/Gyruss planes…

Outside of Twitter or email, I don’t let strangers talk to me on the Internet. I just don’t do it. Generally speaking their “insights” about my identity fall into a few very staid categories and I feel confident I’ve experienced the flavor ridges of that particular narrative arc. I’m not resting on my anodized laurels though: I’m getting into the conversation in a big way, and there’s been some interest in the novel mode of my dialectic. Hey! The Child’s Play Team has put together a an event this afternoon on our…

I’m still thinking about my SCA shit up at last weekend’s Banner War, partly because I got sick there so I’ve had a lot of time to lie completely motionless except for wracking coughs and the occasional turn, as meat is turned on a grill, to let the mucus collect in the other lobe of my sinuses. Here is the comic which recounts a vital portion of the experience. I always wonder how I’d fare in another context; statistically speaking, “dead at another’s hand in the service of someone I don’t know” is probably the correct assessment. …

Gabriel mostly sat in confusion after the comment at Curriculum Night; he doesn’t really start or maintain beef in realspace. What you think isn’t political - that is to say, what isn’t up for debate - is really just an index of your politics anyway, and quite a robust one. For me, I don’t think teaching science in science class is a political act. I grew up in a house where “teaching evilution”... Well, the fact that we called it Evilution is probably enough information to glean the subtleties of the position. I live and let live as…

There was talk of trying the Leviathan raid, and it sounded pretty good to me, but then I realized that numbers were real and my numbers were very, very low. I’m much closer now; Greazy-E and I are gonna try to crack the 260 barrier on this afternoon’s stream around 2 PDT. Stop by? Here’s last night’s Acquisitions Incorporated: The “C” Team game, Anchors Aweigh (Part 4). Watch live video from Penny Arcade on www.twitch.tv I needed to rest after this one; I was glad to have the break in the middle of the show this time, not merely for…
