Okay, so I’ve been getting a lot of mail about the prints that we will have available at Emerald City Comic Con. I am aware that people have started selling their prints on eBay already and I knew that was bound to happen. There really isn’t anything I can do about it since they own the print they can do whatever they want with it. However, I want to avoid a situation where someone comes to ECCC and buys 25 prints and then just puts them all up for auction. The best way we can think of to avoid something like that is to limit the number of prints one person can buy to two. That way you can come and buy your print and if you have a friend who can’t make it you can pick up one more.

Thank you for mailing me and letting me know what you think of the prints. A few people had problems with bending during transit but Think Geek is taking care of those cases. Overall it seems like everyone was blown away by the print once they got it. Pictures really don't do it justice. The laser etching process gives the whole image a sort of glow that is really awesome. I'm really glad that everyone who got one is pleased with the final product. As always we learned a lot from this first limited edition print and we're going to change some things next time.

I'm aware that Blizzard credited all accounts two days of free play because of this weekend's difficulties - and I appreciate it. I don't like saying mean things. On the other hand, I like to tell the truth. Sometimes those two drives conflict.

Ikea delivers the products from their slick periodical, that's true, but they also deliver from a shadow catalog of human waste. I've seen the effects, and they are indistinguishable from conventional explosives.

I always feel strange when I see the Evil Avatar has picked up something we said and is posting it as "news". I don't think of the stuff we post here as newsworthy.

I just wanted to say that I agree with Tycho on this one. My opinion is that WOW is the best MMO ever made. The problem is that I don't get to play it nearly as much as I'd like. I think it's important to note that the only reason we're so upset here is because we want so desperately to play Blizzard's awesome game. It's the fact that these server outages and crazy bugs are keeping us from their masterpiece that makes us so frustrated. Even when I am able to log in it's often the case that the terrible lag makes their game equally unplayable.

There is apparently a new bot for Counter-Strike: Source coming out today, and we have created a preview which details its unique technology. As for the rest of the comic, I wish that it weren't but it's essentially true. My D&D playin' ways were responsible for everything from failed souffles to the dissolution of my family to problems of the ear, nose, and throat.

There's some kind of t-shirt sale going on over at Thinkgeek. That's not something we did, but by using their CHEAPSHIRTS promotional code you get ten percent off our shirts as well.

I have something that will pierce your neck, commandeer your nervous system and shape your will.

Well a game finally came out that was able to pull me away form World of Warcraft. KOTOR II wasn’t able to do it, even MechAssault 2 couldn’t hold my interest for more than a couple minutes. I had actually given up and resigned myself to the fact that WOW was the only game I’d ever play again. Then I picked up Resident Evil 4 yesterday and it got a fucking grip on me. Sweet Christ this game is incredible. I had planned on grabbing level 30 last night but I just couldn’t pull myself away from RE. It’s like it broke some kind of spell or something. At least now I’ll have something to do today while the WOW servers are down.

Myst V was announced earlier today, but there was no information about who was developing it or what kind of technology it would use. Someone just shouted the word "Myst" and then scampered into a hedge.

I saw these shots emerge from some kind of magazine scan a couple days ago, but if you crave unparalleled crispness and freshness from your Star Wars: Empire At War .jpgs, look no further. There is also an article that summarizes the known on the title, which admittedly ain't much.

One of the things on auction at the Child's Play dinner was an appearance in Penny Arcade, which - as it turns out - goes for about a thousand bucks. It's an insane number, and it might have made me feel weird if any of the money actually went to us, but it's true. It actually hit twelve hundred dollars if you can believe it, but someone in the audience had the idea that anyone who donated a thousand dollars to the cause could receive for their own the Gabriel Treatment. We've got a handful of those, and over the next few months we'll be getting to them all, including the erotic dynamos of Red vs Blue. I have some friends in a local Star Wars group that pooled their money, all nine of them, and it is our pleasure to recognize their contribution today.

We're sorry if you weren't able to get one, but yesterday we were trying to figure out what we'd do with all the ones that didn't sell. I'm sort of shocked.

I just wanted to let you all know that 270 of the prints have already been sold, so that means as of right now there are only 180 prints left. Think Geek tells us they expect them all to be gone by tomorrow. I hope that some of you will send me an email once you get your print and let me know what you think.
