Storm Shadow lays it out with naughty photos of his new set-up, and dishes out cables to a young man in desperate need.

Check out this Aliens casemod, if you haven't seen it already. Thanks to Andrew Brookes for sending it in.

If I mentioned it, but Aliens is one of my favorite movies, if not the favorite. That's why the presence of Colonial Marines brought me such comfort, because they are very tough hombres who pack state of the art firepower. There's nothing they can't handle.

We met a young man - I hope he does not bridle at that description - at both of the local cons we've been to, and he runs a comic called "If Then Else." We said that we would happily place a link to it on our page, and it is now my pleasure to introduce the two of you.

I wanted very much to attend something called "Rad Con" Saturday night, where I am told a dangerous beverage known as "Toxic Waste" is prepared. I have a reputation for drinking things that are not, strictly speaking, potable.

I don't know what the kanji looks like for "Methamphetamines," so I couldn't tell you if those tiny pieces of heaven contained it. I can tell you this much, though. The booth next to us, for a store in Kent, Washington called "Sweet Kitty," was like a delicious mouth journey. They had a thing that was like a Hershey's Kiss, except not made of chocolate - made of wholesome graham, lightly dusted with cocoa. Within this crisp contraption, a realm of strawberry mousse hid like treasure.

Holy shit.

There's basically two things going on in today's strip.

Bring your GBA/SP to Sakuracon regardless of whether or not you own Puyo Pop - it's one of the cool games that lets you play four on a single cartridge. All you'll need is the multi cables, if anything.

Looks like Worthplaying has it, for the time being anyway. Move fast.

Please come see us this weekend at Sakuracon. We'll be there Friday Saturday and Sunday. The CTS shirt was certainly the hit of the Kansas city con and I assume it will be much the same here in Seattle this weekend. However, Kiko at Gameskins recently discovered a stash of older shirts that we had thought were sold out. He sent me a box this week that included some Got Wang, some Dirty Dozen and even a Wang Fu. No telling how long these will last but we will have them at our booth. So come by and say hi. Bring your SP if you want to play some Puyo Pop with me.

Astute reader Chris notes the unannounced fucking motorcycle in this screenshot from Secret Weapons.

Is abuzz with the latest Desert Combat release, a B1942 mod which represents a considerable amount of work on the part of its progenitors - indeed, the "AC-130 Gunship" sports the troop spawning capability I just salivated over and was ready to pay for. It is apparently only available on FilePlanet at the moment, though I doubt that will last long.

I forgot some of the things I was going to say about that expansion.

Today's Div strip is naked, brazen fan service. Many human beings had requests for strips while we were at the convention, and a sufficient percentage of those were for a cantankerous chunk of home theater equipment. From atop the mountain, we have heard thee.

Except Frequency.
