The dude who runs the corner store at the corner by my house has recently begun stocking Fidget Spinners. He says you can't not. He describes gangs of feral, foaming youths spilling in the door on the prowl for their next fix - and if he doesn't provide it, he says they'll just go down the street to the next guy. Or into the alley behind his shop, where Spinny K and BB convene their court out of sight of the police, and spinners are just the first step on a dark path. This grim sequence…
Pyre is… listen. Gabe watched a video on IGN and there was a lot of text and he got mad. We made this strip after. He and I don't agree. I'm pretty familiar with the guys in this strip. I see them basically every PAX. Greg Kasavin, I mean… he's been in the strip before. I loved going to Gamespot and seeing his and Jeff Gerstmann's stuff. I've followed everything he did after, because he built trust. William Gibson used to put words you couldn't possibly know in his books, words…

The first party roster - a melange of extended re-releases, reimaginings of franchise pillars, sequels, and a game where your arms are violent Slinkies - has already claimed well over two hundred and fifty hours of playtime. I honestly don't know how many hours of Has Been Heroes I've played. I've never looked. More than anything else on Switch, and more than any other game at a minimum. I think I've almost reached the end,…
Thus concludes Part 3 of Dumber Camp, unless we uncover some new memory we've suppressed. He tells me this is a true story, and I don't doubt him at all. I don't think they even tried to send him to any more summer camps. The Mike Krahulik I met in 1993 was a curious combination of unassailable and exposed. You really couldn't get the best of him linguistically. All the people I know who had hard childhoods are hilarious, not as some virtue but as a kind of intuitively generated…

Dumber Camp, Part Two
I have every faith that I've said something very much like if not identical to the last line in the strip. I could apologize, I guess, but I'm not 100% sure it isn't true.…

Dumber Camp, Part One
I have been left completely and entirely alone, abandoned by my Mork, such that he left me with four or so .jpegs and flew away. Mechanically assisted, obviously. He didn't…
