I am really excited to announce our latest pin set. This is one that I’ve been working on for a while now and I can finally show off the end result. We play a lot of Destiny at my house. Between my wife, my son Gabe and myself, we have a pretty solid little crew. When the opportunity to draw these Destiny pins came up I knew I had to base them on my family fireteam. So to most people that’s just a cool set of pins but that Titan is Gabe, the Warlock is Kara and I am the hunter. Destiny means a lot to me, it is something that brings my family together. We’ve had hours of fun running…

I don’t like having my teeth scraped with metal hooks, but I can endure it. I don’t seek it out, or anything. But I love having teeth, so if there is the occasional tooth maintenance procedure sign me up. I’m trying to imagine eating a Fruit Roll-Up with no teeth and friends it is a fucking mess. For my cohort, it is a cloak of fear that, in his words, “devours the sun, making all things dark.” Maybe those are my words. He called up the tooth store and informed them of his mouth trubs, but the extended, detailed conversation he had…

There’s a podcast for this strip that’ll hit in a little while, and the reason I call it out specifically is that you will hear within this podcast that the strip is essentially a documentary - you’ll be able to hear the moment my heart breaks. I was getting on at 10 because I thought everybody was getting on at ten. Not true! They’re actually getting on much, much earlier. Character stacking for Competitive Mode is out, before I ever even got in there seriously. I understand why, because it’s busted for real sometimes. A seam erupts…

I was late to all this Monster Huntery in general, but since 3 I’ve been trying to get caught up; the bizarre life you have enabled occasionally gets me stuck in the air from time to time, sometimes for upwards of fifteen hours, and I know of no medicine for this ailment so potent as Monster Hunter. The high fives this game generates on cooperative hunts are seismic. And probably bad for the plane. It’s probably not worth talking to me about it, it would be like talking to somebody about their favorite band right after it became their favorite band. They…

We were part of an ADSL Pilot Program in Spokane, back in 98 or so, and I would say that ever since then I have had to contend with Gabriel’s fragmentary understanding of the network that literally makes our lives possible. Anyway, I fixed it! Whatever! I know about ports, gah. I tweeted recently; I’m a tweeter. Specifically I tweeted about something called an “eero,” which is a… hm, what is it. It’s a router, I guess, except three of them come in one box and they’re all the same. It would be like if routers grew in…

Lot’s of people here at PA had a hand in this new Acquisitions Inc. series and we’re all very proud of it. I think it’s a great show and easily our best YouTube offering. My son doesn’t watch TV like normal people. He just watches YouTube and I have to be honest I don’t entirely understand it. He tells me all the time about the amazing things “Lachlan” is doing. I have no grand plans of becoming a YouTube star. I have no cool accent (unless lisps are rad) and while I think Jerry and I are both ruggedly handsome in our own ways, I don’t expect we…

Gabriel and I agree on some things, and not others; for example, my plump larvae don’t whirl in a demonic blood tornado and tell people to die. They do other bad stuff. But do they aspire to be hellborne assassins? It’s rare. I essentially follow the ESRB; it’s a tool I’ve found useful, but I’m not its servant. If there’s something I think the souls in my charge might find nourishing at all, I show them very select portions. But they might have seen ten or twelve frames worth of M rated games their whole lives, just in the period…

The nefarious payload of Pokemon GO: one of health, has already begun to yolk and swell its hapless victims. I feel strongly that there’s a way to bring Pokemon Gyms into this paragraph somehow. Just, like, the idea of them. I’ll consider my options. Every day since the release of the game has been altered by it in some way. Afternoon Barbecue with Enforcers? ‘Mons. I ended up at a bar with some people later who seemed to resent how much they craved these elusive beasts, even while bouncing Pokeballs right off their heads. On several…

I have been playing videogames for at least 30 years now and I have never experienced anything like Pokemon GO. I took the family over to downtown Kirkland yesterday to hunt for Pokemon and we had a blast. It was amazing to walk around the waterfront and meet so many other people doing the exact same thing. A group of boys who saw us playing ran up and told us about a Growlithe nearby. We stopped to get some ice cream and I could hear people outside shouting about an especially elusive Zubat. Everywhere we looked we saw people catching Pokemon and not just that but talking with complete…

My experience with the launch of Pokemon GO has been kinda rocky; sometimes it only wants to be a loading screen and not a game. Obviously, I respect its decision. Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. But it does make it harder to play. I’m heading to a barbecue in a park this weekend, and I have the expectation that I will see many, many people looking down at phones in an effort to snare various ‘mons. Whatever might have happened with the launch, which was almost certainly the result of a globe’s worth of people all kicking the shit out of…
