Lone Shark Games & Friends put together a Humble Puzzle Bundle, a truly bonkersville collection of puzzle collections. Child's Play is among the potential benefactors, along with Worldbuilders and It Gets Better!

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.

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.

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.

Like a delicious seasonal fruit, the new PAX 10 are hanging heavy on the bough. Our multidisciplinary team of writers, artists, designers, producers, and assorted thinkers have brought in the harvest:

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 will ignite the tween demographic. We do not expect to be nor do we have any desire to be the next YouTube sensation. I do think this Acquisitions Inc. series is really good though and I'd love more people to see it. It would be great if you could help us out and spread the word about the new series. We do what we can on the site but I honestly think there are lots of folks outside the PA world who would really enjoy the show. So if you've seen the new AI show and you dig it, please do us a solid and share it with your friends.

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?

(Edit: I remembered how the image tag works.)

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 strangers about Pokemon. It was one of the coolest experiences I have ever had.

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.

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 knew that something strange was going on when I saw that Gabriel had slunk onto Xbox Live. What strange force could compel him? It was Playdead's Inside, and they made Limbo back in the Cretaceous, so, you know. It's a pretty fuckin' strange force.

Inside is one of the best games I have ever played. It is a stunning experience that you have to play for yourself. I am hesitant to talk about it too much because I don’t want to spoil even a second of it for you. I will tell you that it is beautiful, clever, and surprisingly powerful. Games this good do not come along all that often. Don’t miss this one.

In real life, this conversation was held between Gabriel and Gabriel the Younger, and bore the feral cast of that clan. It seemed liked Tycho's faux erudition - considered "erudiction," removed it - might deliver the proper framework. But my son was not impressed with this false witness, texting me thus:

We've had this strip in the queue for awhile, but wanted to wait until after the season finale to deliver it. I know there are those who wait until the end.

We had initially considered a comic where the device in question simply cooled the vomit, or stores it in tanks; I made a play for something like a Fremen Stillsuit, where it refracted the vomit in the manner of a prism, a vomit prism, into rich oils suitable for nourishing leather and Clif Bars. It not in the strip! That is your indication that I did not succeed in my noble mission.
