It’s time for another Club PA strip preview, like so: What is it about?! It is about Men’s Clinics which promise to restore your masculine vigor. I was never especially vigorous, so I don’t know entirely what that would constitute, like a prehensile dong or what, but we investigate the concept. Oh, and what is Club PA? It’s too much stuff to detail here. Ask your doctor if Club PA is right for you. (CW)TB

There was a time when you could use exaggeration to communicate - you could leverage dark imagery with the presumption that your audience would understand that you did not mean it literally, but were instead utilizing a rhetorical device to describe feelings outside the boundaries of the acceptable and potentially even amuse a person precisely with the extent of the disparity between reality and the metaphor. Weren’t those cool times? That is what we must always keep in mind. Thus, we allow our enemies to disarm us. You might have heard that Hulk Hogan was suing…

Here’s kind of a tour of our adventureth in thyberthpace, its bigger-on-the-inside dealio and its casual profundities. theBlu: Encounter is usually the intro. With or without audio, depending on where I think that person is at. When you are acting as the “dealer” for these things, you have to determine the client’s level of tolerance. The level of stimulation we are comfortable with has a brain component, certainly, but we’ve trained that brain also to gate and absorb this stuff. I can remember back when Bioshock came out, I thought that…

Because Michael craves novelty, he is making the leap over to the Android side of the equation. I like novelty in some contexts, don’t know if I crave it exactly, but God Damn if this motherfucker doesn’t need to touch and swipe on an expensive new rectangle every few months. I don’t need to do that, but I’m glad he does; I’m glad that he has these wriggling, besuckered tentacles. I need somebody to change the objects around me every now and then, to seasonally adjust my life, so that new stimuli is present. The comic is literally just the…

The Division is what I’m waiting for now. I try not to do shit like this but believe me 100% when I say that I scammed a code for this game, and technically I could have started playing at five or so this morning when the servers went on, but I think I was still drunk from the night before. I’m trying to download it here at the office for some kind of possible interaction with it, but it’s hard to say what this attempt will actually result in. I don’t want to complain about the speed with which I access a, like, global information infrastructure from the…

Now that we’ve moved everything there’s just this hole in the office where Virtual Reality will exist. It’s strange in some respects that we’re going to “fill” that volume with intangible places, overwriting the zone with a polymorphic suite of sensory data, but it’s true. It has to stay empty so it can remain empty physically but be colonized by alien stimuli and the occasional whatever Gabe wants to do in there. The virtumal porns that I’ve seen, primarily on the Gear VR - a device which I maintain has a unique and compelling…

It’s funny that at an event clearly designed to focus attention on Microsoft’s unified Windows platform and their designs for the PC in general, an off the cuff remark from Phil Spencer about upgrading the hardware on the Xbox One became the takeaway. Not funny for them, I imagine! My suspicion is that news about unannounced and unavailable upgrades to another platform were not the intended payload. I unplugged the Xbox and spun it around in the air, trying to figure out where you would put it. Came up with nothing. The first thing Gabriel thought was,…

We’re thinking about mixing up one of our annual events - what do you think? We used to do a more traditional format a long time ago, but there’s a ton of incredible players around here and it would be cool to smash them against each other. (CW)TB

You might recall that our own Gabrak is set to volunteer at camp; counselor orientation just wrapped up and I am given to understand it was suffused with the ancient wisdom. I suggested when I was talking about fighting games before - and how it’s okay for them to disregard, essentially, someone who isn’t actually part of their audience - that there’s a rhythm under the surface of the genre that I can’t perceive. Then, I said that David Sirlin had made a career of simulating various aspects of fighting games as boardgames. I also said that I had a similar…
