So we can finally announce that our game will be out on May 21st. IT will be released on Xbox Live as well as our own digital games store Greenhouse. If you do decide to download from Greenhouse you can grab one code that will give you access to the PC, Mac and Linux versions. I'm super excited to hear what you guys think. If you're looking forward to the game you should check out the new trailer over on the Xbox Live site.

Sorry
I was really in a rush to put that post up, and it had a bunch of problems that needed to be resolved. Gabe was putting some points into the Wii to check out some of the new WiiWare stuff, and then an ostrich got in here some how, and shit got all fucked up.
Je Parle Un Peu
Gabe essentially began anti-anxiety medication and planned a trip for Paris in the same week, possibly even in the same moment, and as an observer - it is literally my job to observe - this was an intriguing process. He wasn't yet ensorcelled by the chemical, and yet with full awareness of his own agony he went through the previously unthinkable process of putting all this together. It must have been something like jumping from a plane with a strange backpack and a pamphlet entitled "Your Parachute." The hope was that his mind would be in the correct gear sometime before coming into contact with the Earth's crust.

SecuROM Update
I Am Misting Up
I'd like to say just how overjoyed am that a word like "arrondissement" is floating around in one of his posts. I think I'm going to print it out. (CW)TB
Leaving on a jet plane
So I couldn't really mention it before because it was a surprise, but now the cat is out of the bag so I can talk about it. One of the other major reasons I decided to try the anti anxiety medication was that I wanted to surprise my wife with a trip to Paris for her birthday. I used get nervous just going downtown so going to a foreign country was never even a possibility. I've been on the medication for a while now though and I honestly feel like I'm ready for the trip.
Desperate Measures
Gamers don't agree on a whole hell of a lot. You can't even get them to agree that, in general, pirating software is bad. Some people simply won't concede it. Forget trying to convince them that it's bad - you'd have hard time getting some people to admit that, in some very rare cases, piracy is incrementally less than good. It's not difficult to find truly exultant tales of piracy that brim with the zeal of true nautical adventure. It is as though downloading illicit ISOs is the only way a man can truly exert his will on the flexing, undulating evil of a corrupt universe.

I'll be starting the Live stream soon. Here's the last show in case you missed it.
Kids Today
For the longest time, I labored under some pretty fanciful ideas about genitalia.

The Expected Result
If your Wii is not used exclusively for bowling when your parents are over, you probably get excited when even the most rudimentary sort of game is released. This is because Wii games that even reach the level of "adequate" are not especially common. Speaking from our own experience, we're hungry for almost any opportunity to make use of the machine, and each time it happens we're reminded how much we enjoy using it. Recently we've had both the means and opportunity, with a pockets of time during the day and a (comparative) deluge of first party software.

PA TV
I tried to record all of yesterday's show but it got cut off for some reason. You can still see the entire inking process and a good chunk of the coloring. There should be another show this afteroon when I draw Monday's comic.
numbers
People tend to either really like PA or absolutely hate it. I've met very few people who are "on the fence" about what we do here. We're really just lucky that enough people enjoy fruit fuckers and deep crows to let us make a living off this. We always figured that this phenomenon would translate over to the game when review scores started to hit. The first few numbers are just now coming out and it looks like we were right.
