The Comic
It’s true–it’s been far too long since a new comic has gone up. I hope you all enjoy this return to updating which features a volcano, a UFO which could easily be mistaken for a party balloon, and a suspiciously devilish butcher’s knife.
The Living
The flurry of paperwork I’ve been buried under is starting to dissipate. There will be much rejoicing when it’s finally finished. Within a week of this post I’ll be changing gears from “training for a job” to “looking for a job.”
To all of you engaged in the college lifestyle: Good luck on the final exams and papers which are imminent.
To all of you engaged in the secondary school lifestyle: Enjoy your last months of classes.
To all of you engaged in the work world: Happy Saturday.
The Gaming
I reluctantly beat Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 this past week. I say reluctantly because I could see the last mission coming and didn’t want the campaign to be over. Overall, I think the game has some incredible strengths and not a lot of weaknesses. What it needs most is some expansion packs to keep people interested, and an ability to bring in your own squads when joining someone else’s co-op game.
I still haven’t gotten around to installing the cable modem, but I did get very distracted trying to convince Starcraft to allow two people (playing from the same router) to play with other people on battle.net without a set and wholly unacceptable amount of lag. I became a detective of sorts in search of the solution to this most heinous crime being committed by Starcraft and its accomplice battle.net. I bought a switch (distinct from my router). I read through pages of internet slag, sifting for tech-support gold. But alas, it’s just as I suspected all along. The case is unsolvable.
