Assassin’s Crossing

Today’s Penny Arcade discusses the difficulty of porting a latest generation sandbox game onto the Nintendo DS, but ends up making what I consider a Dueling Analogs joke in the process:

Penny Arcade - The littlest hashshashin

That said, fans of Animal crossing will probably have felt, at one point or another, that this was the fate that awaited them if they went back to their neglected towns.

About Penny Arcade:

Penny Arcade is the long running, highly popular, and very polarizing video game web comic of Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins, which occasionally diverges from gaming discussions to talk about the news, giraffes, fruit rape, and so on. It runs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and the earliest strip in the archive is from November of 1998. There is a video game based on the comic in the works, and there is a yearly Penny Arcade Expo. The two also founded the Child’s Play charity, which has donated more than a million dollars to children’s hospitals worldwide, hoping to combat the media image of video gamers as violent sociopaths.

The King-maker

Today’s Achewood gives political advice:

Achewood - How do you become King?

About Achewood:

Achewood is a web comic about a series of cats, stuffed animals, at least one human, and arguably, the English language. I love it dearly, and my only complaint is that I actually like Asahi Super Dry, which is the butt of an occasional beer joke. See also the blogs and various print projects that attend the main comic. Chris Onstad’s baby.

Today’s Bathos discusses the Erlenmeyer flask, including its most important property of all:
