Steam can only, only be considered incredibly dangerous.

You can now watch me draw Monday's comic strip!

The Strip Search is up, check it out!

My objective, generally speaking, is to disappear; my profession is as much a mystery to me as it is to anyone else. I've standardized my mode of dress down to eight identical shirts and two pairs of pants. I also have one "nice" shirt, but don't get excited. It's not especially nice. And since I wear it every time an event passes a certain dress threshold, its workhorse plaid never quite honors the occasion.

Wii U owners were pretty disappointed when Ubisoft announced that they were pushing Rayman Legends back into September. It was originally scheduled to hit the Wii U back in February but Ubi decided to hold it back until they could release it for all three systems at the same time. I understand the logic. One marketing budget and distribution on systems that actually have a decent install base. It still sucked for Wii U owners like myself who had played the hell out of the demo and were excited for the full game.

"Rayman Legends Challenges App" is a mouthful. It's not an aerodynamic moniker - let's just be up-front about that. But as a consolation prize for Rayman's delayed release, it's entirely possible that you may find yourself consoled.

No one crying, no one getting kicked out, just the artists hanging out together and having fun.

The second time I went to GDC, we were watching the awards at the end of the show when the same dude kept coming up again and again. Not because he was a weirdo or anything, although that is almost certainly true; he kept going up there because he'd won "all the awards" for a game called Monaco. His name was Andy Schatz, but I didn't know that before. It became easier to remember each time it was said, and it was said often.

Another Tuesday and another artist leaves the Strip Search house.

As a fan of Capcom's Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom and Shadows Over Mystara, as well as games like Vanillaware's Muramasa and Odin Sphere, Dragon's Crown is more or less the song of my heart. It is my heartsong. Apparently it's not everybody's heartsong! That's what I read. They don't like the game's ridiculously, freakishly, borderline scarily rendered "woman" and to a certain extent I can understand why.

Mother’s Day is coming up on May 12th. In can be difficult to pick out the right present for Mom but we are giving you some great ideas over on the PA store.

Considering the today’s comic strip is about golf, this seems like a good time to mention the 2013 Child’s Play Invitational. This year We will be playing at Inglewood Golf Club in Kenmore Wa, rather than down in California.

I think that does it for "Emulator." In a year or so, when your tolerance for familial excursions of this type has perhaps regenerated, I'll let you know the types of shit my daughter gets up to. She has her mother's head for math, those inexplicable and sorcerous divinations. I've always resented numbers, and really, what's to like. As an accomplished (and arguably, professional) liar I vastly prefer words, whose precise meaning is almost always in superposition. I took debate, certainly; I can lie with numbers, too. Eventually though, eventually, numbers have a way of holding their shape.

A big part of making a living as a webcomic artist is the convention scene. Setting up and running a good merch booth is huge. In the latest episode of Strip Search we put the artists to the test.
