Not that I'm bitter, I got my Christmas bonus, but still, the Dilbert comic strip for 12/21/2011 hit my heartstrings somehow.
A 7-year-old girl responds to DC Comics' sexed-up reboot of Starfire over at io9.
"What do you think about her costume?" (Referring to the outfit on the left)"Well, she's a grown up in that picture, not like in the Teen Titans cartoon, so if you're a grown up and you want to wear something like that you can. It's okay."
Good stuff. Make sure you read till the end.
Another awesome comic from The Oatmeal on How commercial airplanes SHOULD be laid out. Props for the child kennel area.
Wow, sometimes Dilbert just hits them out of the park. Mental note: Do not share this with my boss.
Another great comic: His Dark Thesis. Not sure if this is a statement on the internet or PC gaming, or a bit of both :)
Possibly the most depressing thing I've seen all day. Thank god I still fit in the chart (barely).
Today's Penny Arcade cartoon The Land Before Time.... all I can say is "very true".
This took me by surprise, and I actually LOL'd for real - Penny Arcade! - The Wager. Though I'd still say I'll believe it when I hold the game in my hand.
According to the latest site news, a UFie has put togheter a $0.99 app to get Userfriendly on your iPhone.
They weren't put up on the main site, but Scott Adams did two great comics on That Lost 4G Phone. Hilarious stuff :)
Just discovered Virtual Shackles through their hilarious comic Depth Perception, all about the lost iPhone 4th gen. Funny as hell. Started going through the comic archives too, looks like a great comic for geeks/gamers :)
Hijinks Ensue has another great Edward Olmos T-Shirt that I want. Team Edward forever!
Penny Arcade has a great write up on The Gods Of Modernity and the story of a noobs battles with Infinity Ward.
He's an utterly unrepentant hacker, yet he wonders what strange force keps gets his boxes banned. It would be like if I'd made a reputation for myself entering local cafes, slipping into the back to shit directly on their hot grills. And then, when I came back the next day, they told me to leave - even if I hadn't managed to shit on anything during that particular visit! Come to terms with the idea that there is a point beyond which you are not worth the price of your subscription.
I present to you, without much comment, the Fax Machine Timeline over at Doghouse. Well, maybe "ha!" is the only comment....
Great funny one from Aryk passed on this morning (or maybe late late last night): If Steve Jobs Had Just One Wish...
OK, not for kids for both content and language, but if you've been paying any attention at all to the Kick-Ass movie, you'll want to check out the Hit Girl trailer. Not only does it validate what I've been hearing about it not compromising on either violence or language, but the action they show is (pardon me for saying this) completely Kick-Ass. April can't come soon enough.
Perfectly done comic by The Oatmeal. Reminds me why I avoid talking about what I do to people.
Today's UserFriendly Strip harkens back to the days when I had these conversations with SilverStr, Fozbaca, Solas and Engel on the exact same subject. Those tended to go to a bit more of an extreme though, I recall getting to "I flipped the ones and zeros with the magnetic pull of the earth and had to wait a year to flip the next bit" more than once.
Today's HijiNKS Ensue webcomic says it pretty well just what reception you should expect to any thing "Edward".
Slashfilm got their paws on some early reviews of the Kick Ass movie.
I'm sure you'll be getting lots of emails on the subject as Lionsgate is cranking out Screenings like gang busters but I just came from one and hot damn, what a flick. I never read the comic but this movie was a great fun incredibly violent ride.
Citrus Soldier is a web comic based on random photos from Flickr. Pretty good stuff.
The latest Penny Arcade cartoon, In The Seventh House seems to sum up the reactions to Windows 7 I've seen and had myself.
