Pandora's Box. It's the thing that came from space and landed in Antarctica.

I think I might do what the commentariat at Jalopnik does for their COTD posts ... pretend to give away cars and booze to the winners.

I also have an NC vanity plate (the state is not shown in that picture, but the airplane and grass gave it away) ... and no, you don't have to explain your choice. Just go to the NC DMV's website, punch in what you want on your plate, and wait a couple weeks.

I suppose that's somewhat reasonable.

I know BlazBlue and King of Fighters have unlock packs that you can purchase if you can't be bothered to actually unlock those characters through normal gameplay. It's real great when you want to host a tournament on the very first day the game comes out.

In a technical and business standpoint, it sort of makes sense. In order to see the character your opponent is using, you actually have to access that data from somewhere. This could be on the game disc, hard drive install, or maybe streamed from somewhere. Maybe it could be a cached download.

I think stashing them on the disc is a bad way to go when it comes to DLC releases. There are always prying eyes out there that are curious about what could be hiding in the disc, and knowing Capcom's track record, those data-miners are always expecting something that could be locked but sold later as DLC. When the…

Being somewhat of a fighting game enthusiast, I'll probably end up picking this up regardless of the DLC situations. Besides, I got like a bunch of friends that are just super-hyped about this, so we'll get along just fine.

Actually, those characters have been confirmed and disclosed by Capcom:

A bunch of my friends are super-hyped for SFxT so I'll probably end up picking it up. I think Scramble Mode would be loads of fun, especially when your friends are drunk.

I see what you mean and I know that feeling. Though, a simple discount and making a particular item merchandise-exclusive could be two different things. I know how aggravating it could be that in order to have so-in-so DLC for Game A, I would have to purchase Game B, especially when Game B is something that I have…

I can see where you're heading (and the joke), though I think EA is pretty good this— for example, the demo for Amalur unlocks an item that can be used in Mass Effect 3. It's simple items for now ... but I'd imagine it could expand to something bigger like actual campaigns and full-length question chains where you…

It was just an example. Maybe there could be other ways of advertising the comic without giving away the joke.

Nomura Syndrome. I suppose that's one way to put it. Although, I wonder how many strips will MGDMT have left in this story arc ... not that I'm complaining. Actually, I'm kind of wondering how this will end up.

You could try it like this:

Maybe he has ... but why retype the same information when you can save that blurb in a text file and repaste into a new thread ... I'd probably do the same, but maybe change a few words here and there.

As always, your comics are funny and interesting. Whoever tags your comics as spam is just jelly.

It seems plausible. Valve could potentially have that capability of making a console-like PC. Obviously, this wouldn't be targeted at those who already have gaming PCs but more towards the console-only crowd that has been wondering what it's like to game on a PC but couldn't due to price of hardware and/or the…

Now that is ... delicious! :3

Is it me or do the horns on the Skyrim helmet look like bacon strips? Now that sort of makes me hungry.
