A great quote from reader Wayne regarding American McGee.

We put him in charge of your money.

Some of you might remember our tale from Sakuracon about our booth being next to that of Sweet Kitty. Well we all loaded up on Japanese candy that day and our supplies have finally run out. We made a special trip over there this afternoon in order to stock up again and while we were there we had some fun with their picture taking machine.

Let me take a moment to extend heartfelt birthday wishes to Alex Green and Mark Wadley.

It's also a book!

By Gabe – April 14, 2003

Readers are writing in to tell me that Riverworld is a series of books. They are also telling me that the movie sucked ass. I guess I will have to go get the books and decide for myself. The next "New Jedi Order" book doesn't come out until April 29th so I have a couple weeks to read something new. Thanks for the heads up.

Cowboy Killers

Safety Monkey has a friend named Wally, who I often refer to as Wallingford, or by his handle Xarion. They're friends to this day because of Meridian 59, which they played years ago, and he used to visit from Wisconsin from time to time. He has no accent to speak of, except when he says Cat, which comes out like "Kyat." In any event, he doesn't need to visit anymore because he lives here. This story is from when he didn't.

I think these guys have their thumb on the pulse of the gaming community. Also, the fishing community.

I didn't read any other reviews

I would say that visually he does kind of stick out. It's hard say though what kind of character does or doesn't fit when the game has little girls with swords and giant purple monsters with exposed pulsating hearts. I'm saying that his moves at least mesh well with the game. He PLAYS like you would expect a new SC fighter to play. More so at least in my opinion than Heihachi or Spawn. In fact I think Necrid is the character who seems most out of place. His look and moves just don't jive with the feel of SC for me.

That's Interesting

You say that Link actually meshes well with the other characters, but every other preview I've read says that he sticks out like a sore thumb.

Savvy readers have directed me towards this Data Patch for Master of Orion 3, which is impossible to find unless someone reveals it to you. In any case, the patch I alluded to - one that resolves a fuck-ton of issues - is slated for later this month, as I understand it.

Enemy Territory

Though excited about the free expansion to Return To Castle Wolfenstein, there really wasn't a whole lot of information about what it would actually represent. This new article explains a lot - and details some intriguing choices.

Has This Ever Happened To Yoo

By Tycho – April 11, 2003

As today's strip illustrates, we do not have a hobby that can be discussed in polite company. Walking near the metal detector for my flight to Kansas City, I wisely truncated a tale I had begun regarding "hunting men." It really is nothing to us, it's as though we're talking about "the game" or what have you, but the terminology and graphic depictions we gleefully relate are actually fairly hideous to the other people in line for groceries.
