Tisk-tisk, Kris. You know it's your duty as the first reply to a comment like that to call him gay. There are rules, you know.

Great stuff, Joel. I really think your art is improving exponentially as the weeks go by. The level of detail of Ephram and Paw and the guest stars of the recent karaoke party strip make the characters feel almost three dimensional. I'm curious to see what the regular cast would look like updated to the same level of detail.

I like the little detail of tears in his eyes. Likely tears of ultimate "fulfillment." Zam Clam.

Josh's computer was likely already a mutant parasite if I can draw reference to his proclivity for torrenting EVERYTHING EVER.

Steam doesn't run on OSX ... and Spore currently does. I'm not happy about the horror stories I hear about DRM, but I'll believe the "DRM f*cks up your computer" claims when I see it. In fact, if someone wants to point me toward a DRM horror story link, feel free.

If he goes ass to ass with another Robocop I'm totally in.

I tried to correct at least two of those flubs during the show. I blame ustreamer-9949.

Oooh! Oooh! Favorite Mr. Show skit! Mine is when Bob and one of the other actors keep running into each other and having to say goodbye all over again. Or "The Joke, The Musical". Or The New and Improved San Francisco. Or Cockring Warehouse. Or "I spit on your apology!" "I piss on your spit!" "I shit on your piss!" "I fart on your shit!" "I laugh at your fart!" "We are friends again!"

A question to go along with it then: Have you ever had to change something in a game because of negative press/fan reaction? A good example might be Battlefield: Bad Company switching to offering the unlockable weapons free of charge after the fanboy rioting.

Question for the Eli, Josh, Denise, or other murder simulator designers who happen to be present: have you ever heard something about a game you're involved with second hand? To clarify, someone doing PR for your game says something about the game that's then released to press that you had no idea about.

As you may or may not know, DnD 4th Edition came out just a couple months ago. Wizards of the Coast has stated they're developing some online tools to facilitate online play; things like an online game board with creatable dungeons, a way to manage your characters, all sorts of stuff. But, they haven't said what the status of that tool is other than "it's coming." In the interim, us Fancy Bastards (some of us DnD veterans, some complete new comers) decided to take the 4E rules for a spin together. We're using MapTool, part of a pen and paper RPG computer tool suite. ( http://rptools.net/ ) It's quite robust as far as these things go, and it's free. And while the tool itself isn't perfect, I find it hard to believe that Wizards will release anything that will trump it's functionality, other than the official DnD branding. I don't want to speak for Mike, but our group isn't quite full yet, so if you want to join, surf to the Forums and find the threads and make your case. We don't care if you're a veteran or a totally new player. And if we fill up too quickly, there's lots of forums to choose from to find a game looking for players ( http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?t=1745 ). I could go on and on about DnD or our specific play session, but I don't think there's that much interest to the casual observer. Regardless, feel free to contact me through the forums and I'll answer any questions I can.

I'd just like to mention that the first Fancy Bastard D&D session went off fabulously this past Saturday. Big thanks to DM MikeBrady!

Where's the beef? The "Let's fuck up the fourth amendment" bill passed and went into effect as of the 9th. What are your thoughts? Linky: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FISA_Amendments_Act_... For the Gearbox peeps, looking forward to E3? What's it like as a designer or non-PR/advertising person in the industry during E3?

I just watched TOS S1E03 "The Naked Time" last night. It featured a shirtless, sweaty, and surprisingly well-built Sulu buckling-his-swash about the decks of the Enterprise. No, Trek would not be the same without him.
