Priorities

I finally got around to playing and beating MGS4…and it has significantly less Tactical Espionage Action and much more SHOOT EVERYTHING. My playthrough was also literally half cutscene, but I could watch Otacon cry for nine hours and enjoy it, so I'm okay with it.

BLOOHOOHOO EVERYTHING I LOVE DIES

Nap Battle

SURPRISE HAVE A NEW WEBSITE THING. It's got nav buttons on the top of the page! And an RSS feed! And a lot of other things. Credit for immaculately coding everything goes to the talented Chris Federici, who is probably a wizard or something based on his arcane programming magics. Thanks also to Norrin, who spent a lot of time debugging things.

We're still ironing out bugs, so if you spot anything that shouldn't be, or if you just want to tell me you don't like this shade of yellow, send something to [email protected]. Aikonia also still exists! Here it is! Look! Mystery!

Beating the System

Norrin wrote this!

For those of you who hate these colors, there is a secret just for you.

Aikonia!

Heavy Metal

Norrin wrote this again wagh!

I have been playing inordinate amounts of TF2 for some reason.

YOU ARE SUCH A BAD MOTHER

Handwronging

Whenever I have to erase anything it happens to be the nicest my handwriting has ever been in my life, without exception.

Obsolete

So they launch Snake and Otacon's robot turkey onto Liquid Ocelot's death submarine.

Snake goes through, getting his ass handed to him by supersoldiers and Metal Gears, while the robot turns invisible and sneaks past everything. The robot is also the only thing capable of unlocking doors, and can also electrocute enemies, on top of being able to actually complete the objective of the mission, which Snake can't because he is not a robot. Once you get to the ridiculous MICROWAVE HALLWAYYYYY you start to realize Snake should have just stayed home for the whole dumb thing.

Once Bitten

Oh wow a Brawl comic who would have ever thought! Thank you to Omnithea for writing it.

It is FINALS WEEK so there will probably NOT BE A COMIC NEXT WEEK. Stay tuned.

Okay the problem with having any semblance of a buffer (and with taking weeks off) is that when Penny Arcade underhandedly takes my joke and does it funnier and more succinctly it just makes me look bad when I shamble in two weeks later. CURSE YOUUUUU

I'm not going to pretend I don't wish Worgen were on the Horde, and no amount of retconning is going to make their being on the Alliance make sense.

Edit: Hey! Everybody! PLAY THIS GAAAAAME WE MADE

Impediment

This time the reason the comic is dated the wrong year is because I drew it two weeks ago!! Now that I'm starting to have a buffer it has done nothing but made me suffer. It is my suffer buffer.

As you may recall, I couldn't finish Oblivion because I had spent so much time leveling on sidequests that my stats were way too low to actually do any maingame quests. What also may have contributed to that was the fact that I rolled a monk character, which meant hand-to-hand combat in a game where most of your power comes from your weapon. Times were hard.

On to important things: EVERYBODY PLAY THIS GAME WE MADE AAAAAHH. It is called HyperPype! I did the graphics and Chris did the programming and everything else. I hope you like it! If you do then why haven't you VOTED US SOME FIVES ALREADY!!

AND ALSO I HAVE A TWITTER NOW IF THAT KIND OF THING INTERESTS YOU.

Empty-Headed

This was written by Norrin.

It was kind of a challenge to portray a thing missing its own skull, especially if it's wearing another skull on top of it. So there it is without its exoskull, and that's what a Cubone looks like without its endoskull. (Or maybe that's just what they look like, which makes this comic less funny and more creepy.)
Also Norrin wants to tell you that he thinks it looks like the penguin thing from Bloom County.
