Outside the technical issues I've already related incessantly, F.E.A.R. is delivering the proper balance of carbs and electrolytes or something. It's good. It's packed with, I mean, shit. I don't know. Vital nutrients. You move from setpiece to setpiece pretty frequently, so it feels like I can gin up a productive session even when I'm up to my ass in projects.

Another actual conversation, transcribed by me, and drawn by our own Gabriel.

I keep pushing shirts on you, and I apologize, but this one isn't ours.

First the police, then the FBI, and now The Justice League.

In case you missed it with all the Jack nonsense I wanted to point out that we have finally joined forces with Gameskins. Not unlike Voltron we have formed the head while Kiko has formed the uh…shirt making part. Using his advanced design skills we will conquer the evil robeast army and ...hmm ... it kind of fell apart there. Here’s the skinny. Kiko is officially a part of team Penny Arcade now. You can find his incredible shirt designs in our ThinkGeek store. Together we will rule the universe. To celebrate he’s having a fire sale at his site, it’s a very “everything must go” situation. Obviously we’re hitting his store pretty hard but we’ll keep mentioning it until all his current stock is gone.

For the latest development in Jacks ongoing battle with sanity you should check out gamepolitics.com. He is apparently trying to sick the “Feds” on us now. I’m not sure how he imagines we are extorting him. We are not demanding he pay the $10,000 to charity. In fact we paid it for him. Case closed end of story. In my mind we were finished with him.

Been playing a fair bit of Shadow Of The Colossus, and while numbers high in the available range reflect some portions of my time with it I would not describe the texture of my experience as uniform. The experience has sometimes been less than satisfactory for the colossi also, as I'm sure you can imagine.

Gabe thought I was going to mention it, and I thought he was, and in the end nobody did. Let me right the wrongs of yesteryear.

If you play WOW at all you will enjoy this very funny music video entitled “World of Warcraft is a feeling.”

I’d like to direct your attention to a couple of fun PA guild events happening on Dark Iron.

Tycho and I remain free men. The fact is that Jack actually sent the fax to everyone but the intended recipient at the Seattle PD. There were a lot of names to remember I don’t blame him. I’ve received literally thousands of emails in the past couple days. They are all commending us for standing up to Jack the way we did. Most of them go on to ask what we can do as a community to stop him. I have to admit that is tempting. The more I think about it the more I think it might not be in our best interest. Let me explain.

When that fax came through yesterday, there was some consternation - as I'm sure you can imagine. Rest assured that we have an unbelievably dramatic denouement in the works. Meanwhile, it is our charge to discuss the hottest gamez and systemz!!! So, let us continue.

Jack was on CNN tonight to talk about Midway’s new football game. Like I said in my news post above , this is why Jack is scary. Because he has no fucking clue what he’s talking about yet they put him on CNN to talk as though he was an expert. This is a quote from him:

I just wanted to make a quick note that the page may be up and down today. The server is getting slammed pretty hard. I just wanted to make sure you knew that if the page was down it’s not because of Jack. Well not directly anyway.

Jack puts a nice spin on his case in that letter to the police chief. Here’s a picture of the real reason he’s pissed off at us.
