Seriously. I normally like Penny Arcade, but the console wars are uncomfortably pathetic for me. It was a total miss this week.

Haha the fact that it’s barren is what I love about it! Haha

Anything by studio Shaft typically gets a big upgrade between broadcast and DVD/Blu-ray. To the point that I don’t even bother watching their stuff while it’s airing. Not that the broadcast versions are bad, just that the disc versions are often a lot better.

Actually, yes! Anime studios make very very little money, most full-time employees only make the equivalent of approx. $10K in a YEAR at a single studio. Most work at several different studios and thus do an incredible amount of drawing just to make what barely constitutes as a living wage. When studios are in a…

People get paid very little to do a lot of work in very little time.

This reminds me of when I lived in Atlanta, how people would tell me that there was such great food there, and what liars they were.

There’s a comic on this page, ostensibly about video games, with the punchline “thank you, wine.”

I sense something. A presence I’ve not felt since...

Yeah, people are over-reacting to an online poll, but I do feel anything up for consideration of “Best Game Ever” should be at least a few years old to give time to let the hype die down. I mean, if you did a poll of funniest movies ever in 2004 or 2005, Napoleon Dynamite probably would have won. Nowadays, not so much.

You’re not alone in this, Kevin.

Oh, so I guess we’re not doing Penny Arcade anymore?

Absolutely insane that terrorist attacks in the West would resonate with people in the West. I just can’t fathom it.

I am so ready for Clara to leave.
