posted by BobPosted by Bob on November 4, 2005: Another Friday, another comic. Steve based this comic on our local mall. Well, my local mall. Steve lives a little further from it than I do. Anywho, this is how things are now over there. I hadn't been in there for a while, so I wasn't sure what to expect when I went in there. So the other day I went to the mall, and the vendors with their carts on the main mall floor are there as always. But now as you walk past them, they all try to hand you things and sucker you into buying their crap. Motherfucker, I'm here just to go say hello to Jason and buy a game, leave me alone.

I hope panels 8 and 9 make sense. Link and Bob are walking past Relentless Records, and we're seeing them from the inside of the store. With as many times as we've seen that place in this comic, I'd hope you all recognize it, heh. Let's see, what else...Originally, the last black panels were just that. Black. Steve wrote it as "Bob walks away. the lights go out." I assumed he meant black panels where the action is implied. He assumed I would do it so you could see what was happening. So I ended up repainting all those panels, which wasn't a problem. I tried to get the crowbar into it, but Steve said it looked too much like a knife in the dark, and then said "Eh, maybe we'll just use all the black panels." I replied "No way, I painted all that shit, we're gonna use it." So there you have it.

Sometimes, us gamers get entirely too into our games. Seriously, think about how much you can buy with a hundred grand. Think of all the things you can do. I'll give you time. Okay. Now. Imagine that instead of doing all those things, you spent the money on... absolutely nothing. Oh, it's gone, don't think that it's not. It's not like the money is resting comfortably in a bank account. It's gone. You spent it on a virtual space station in a video game. Smart move, eh? Jesus.

And here we have proof that Jeffrey Ross is a fantastic person to have at a celebrity roast. Poor Pam. She had no idea what was coming.

Eh, here's some Dane Cook. Why the hell not. If you don't have his new album, Retaliation, you really should pick it up. It's very funny.

I've linked to Malaysian Idol before...But never the horror that is French Idol! Not quite the same without the world's worst Michael Jackson impersonator, but hey, you take what you can get, I suppose.

How about some online arm wrestling? Or, my ego is bigger than yours. It's all about space bar mashing, but I dunno, maybe someone will be interested in it.

If this is real, which it looks to be, that guy has got more guts than, well, me. If that were in the WWE, that dude would have been DEMOLISHED.

Cosplay people are weird. I've seen all sorts of crazy costumes, but I think this is the first time I've ever seen a bunch of people dressed as a Katamari!

Here's one of those "move the pointer around and get to the finish without touching anything" games. It seems pretty cool, but I only got three levels in. If it's one of those where after a bit something scary pops up and screams to make you jump, then I can't vouch for that. Play it... IF YOU DARE!

Well gang, that's really all I've got in me tonight. We'll hopefully be back in a week!
