When last we spoke, I was considering the timing and severity of my punishment. You see, I'd just won some kind of contest to see Silent Hill early, and I'd gotten it into my head that the universe would do me some injury for it. The turnaround on this one, cosmically speaking, was brisk. I was not yet prepared for the idea that the blessing and the curse might be concomitant.
So Downloadable Content: The Penny Arcade Podcast is number 4 on iTune’s list of the most popular podcasts. We’re actually right behind ESPN and right above Happy Tree Friends. Bet you little fuckers aren’t so happy now huh?
When good things happen to me, it is hard to enjoy them because I am sure I must suffer an equal amount at some future time. I don't know where this idea came from. I don't actually believe that there exists a comprehensive spiritual physics. All the same, this imagery is so vivid that it must have some origin beyond my transient mortal equipment: a blinding God of polished brass, one hand heavy with my blessings, the other exquisite palm raised in imminent violence.
I edited the files so that all the information is in the ID3 now, so for those who download the files directly everything is now in place. iTunes really makes it look like everything is there, even when it is decidedly not there, so that's where the trouble came from. Also, I put in a couple new tags that help the feed itself resolve on aggregators aside from "the big dog."

About a dozen people have pointed me towards this article or one similar to it. Apparently Apple is underclocking the X1600 in the MacBook Pro in order to reduce noise and extend battery life. I’ve been told you can return it to it’s factory settings with some tools but I have not tried yet. Interesting stuff.
I discuss ennui relating to the coming media apocalypse in the imminent podcast, but I am only one of two people who operate this website and we are not always of one mind. Even if a person were interested in high-definition content to drive their robust new display, internecine warfare poised to fragment the industry, ravage your technology investment, and punish early adopters isn't exactly an aphrodisiac.
Many of you asked about it so I’ll go ahead and mention it here. Downloadable Content, The Penny Arcade Podcast is now available on iTunes. You can hit their podcast section for a complete archive of the shows we’ve done so far. We’ll still be posting the raw MP3’s here every week and we’re working on archiving them along with the comics and the posts.
Since Sakuracon, we've had a powerful urge to revisit the Cardboard Tube Samurai. Like Twisp and Catsby, we have tried to keep adventures in his faux-feudal context restricted to more or less annual affairs because we are polite. We do not assume that rodent liberation, psychic birds, or even comparatively mainstream wordless meditations are topics of general interest. This said, we have done our best to entertain you these seven and a half years, and your indulgence during these periods of personal weakness are most appreciated.
I feel okay mentioning WOW today since it sort of relates to the comic. Most of you know by now that I play a mage on Darkiron and that means my class is next in line for a talent review. I’m pretty excited about this, watching them rework the various classes has been awesome and they seem to be getting better at it as they go. I’m looking forward to seeing what they have in store for the mages.
Holy shit.
Yeah, so... It's not just Heroes of Might and Magic V - Ubisoft has made it official. They're moving away from the Starforce product altogether. There is an orchestra in my heart.

He told me that human slavery was not explicitly forbidden by the World of Warcraft EULA, to which I replied that the World of Warcraft EULA probably doesn't supercede international law.
