Someday, I think we should do a comic where we reveal that Steve is certifiably insane, and that all these talking consoles and such are in his head. I wanted to have Steve crying with memory cards falling from his hands, but I thought that might be a little TOO over the top. So as I've said before, if you think that's the way I should have gone, then just imagine I did. It's easier on all of us that way.

Hell, I may just be onto something here. If you don't think the writing is funny, just replace it with your own words. Steve, I think I've stumbled onto the secret to success, here!

So, I upgraded my computer by adding another monitor. That's how my desk looks now. Well, except for the Mignola Batman statue. I moved him because I figured it wasn't smart to have a statue right in front of my scanner like that. Now I just need to go to Best Buy and find some sort of AV cable extender thingie so if I ever have people over (yeah right!) I won't have to have everyone crammed at my desk, I can just plug my 360 to the TV and not have to move it.

Let's get this links train a rollin' with something we can all get behind. Old ladies getting punched in the face. Ah, you really can't go wrong there. Well, yeah, you can, but it's all good. I really can't make out the audio, can anyone tell me why the lady gets cracked?

Think of how much you could do with a billion dollars. Imagine all the good you could do with it. Now, imagine you just lose it by releasing your latest and greatest product. Apparently, Sony has not learned from themselves or Microsoft.

Speaking of games, WHEEEEEEEEE!

And it looks like the PS3 won't be 100% backwards compatible. I know, it's a shock. Sony already removing announced features for their coming console. Big fucking shock.

Happy twentieth anniversary, Chernobyl! I know I've posted this before, but if there's any better a time to post that link, I don't know of it. It seems really interesting; a place frozen in time.

Aaaaaand now it's time to present the douchebag of the week award! LOOK AT ME BEING SERIOUS! I love that he asks "where'd the air come from?" Ah, priceless.

How about a neat video of a bullet hitting things as recorded by a high speed camera? Pretty cool stuff. I personally think the egg and the banana (B-A-N-A-N-A-S!) are the best.

Well, it seems like that's all I've got this week. But don't worry, we'll be back in a week to provide your fix.

As this is our second talking console comic in the last few weeks, I think it's only fair to give a nod to the original. The talking console comics were always some of my favorites, and I hope no one (Joe, specifically) minds if we borrow the idea.

You know what's sad? I still haven't finished Tomb Raider, despite the fact that it's main drawback seems to be how short it is. I just don't have the attention span to finish games. Before long, no matter how good the game is, I'm gonna be off to the next one.

Which reminds me, play Psychonauts, ok? See you next week.
