My favorite fourth-wall breaking video game thing will always be the letter from your uncle in the old NES game Startropics. Looking back, it's pretty much just copy-protection for a game that didn't need it, but I remember seven-year-old me FREAKING OUT when the game told him to physically go grab the real letter…

Okay, that's what I thought. Congratulations on your excellent webcomic taste.

Meanwhile, Continuum nerds like myself are stuck waiting to hear anything about a possible Season 4.

By the way, where is your Disqus avatar from?

It's true.

Dawn in The World With Nothing But Shrimp made me smile.

Good avatar/comment synergy, I enjoyed reading that in Gene's voice.

Nope, it's about proving Superman's guilt (in a comic about Batman becoming convinced that Supes was behind his parent's murder).

You just made me think of the Kickin' It theme song. War crime, dude. War crime.

It's nature as a standalone book really helps. Because it takes place in the distant past with a separate cast of characters, he can tell a complete, high-stakes story without having to leave anything to pick up in a later book, and it really makes for something satisfying. It's one of the more intellectually…

One I just thought of: "The Work Outing" from The I.T. Crowd.

I love that album, even though it doesn't really gel at all (Just Pretend and Bruised sound like Folds songs, Stop sounds like Kweller, and I'm not sure who to credit XFire with). Still, it's three good songs, and one great one.

Weird, I always thought of that as one of the lesser books, even within the Death subseries. Have you tried Small Gods?

Oh man, that's a good one. I loathe everything the man's done, except Dawn Of The Dead, which I think is brilliant.

I keep trying to play through Deadly Premonition. I had it for my 360 before it red-ringed, and I bought it for PC recently, because it's completely fascinating.

Great, now I have to go watch Newsradio for the hundredth time.

You don't know how long I struggled with whether to put a Murderer Heaven reference in there at the end of this Newswire.

Because nothing says "Thoughtful religious epic period piece" like the guy who made the movie where the dude rips out his own spine and uses it as a sword.

It doesn't help that the cover art for even the decent anime on there is so sketchy looking.

Technicality No Down Boo Over?!
