Heads up.
Wednesday is a holiday. I’m going to be goofing around instead of spending time on the website. DMotR will resume on Friday.
Shamus Plays LOTRO
As someone who loves Tolkein lore and despises silly MMO quests, this game left me deeply conflicted.
Crysis 2
Crysis 2 has basically the same plot as Half-Life 2. So why is one a classic and the other simply obnoxious and tiresome?
The Opportunity Crunch
No, brutal, soul-sucking, marriage-destroying crunch mode in game development isn't a privilege or an opportunity. It's idiocy.
Tenpenny Tower
Bethesda felt the need to jam a morality system into Fallout 3, and they blew it. Good and evil make no sense and the moral compass points sideways.
Starcraft 2: Rush Analysis
I write a program to simulate different strategies in Starcraft 2, to see how they compare.
Have fun on your 4th. Looking forward to the next strip.
have a good one on yer American holiday,
Greetings from yer neighbour to the north,
Captain Curran of the Country Canada.
Happy goofing!
I look forward to Friday.
Then we’re even- ‘cos I won’t be checking your site come the 4th! Happy fireworks in advance, though.
Back in May, you chose to skip a day as well, to give time to make a better strip on the following Friday. Instead, you made a single image frame with something quite funny:

Maybe you could whip up a similar, one-frame scene to appease the masses on July 4th – Of course, it should have something to do with Gandalf’s fireworks :)
Give us the fireworks, Gandalf, fireworks!
…
Fireworks…?
Gandalf…?
…
(young Hobbits turn away in disappointment)
Take the day off and go see the new Transformers movie (if you haven’t already). I would rate it nearly a 9/10
Boy! If we can’t have DMotR on Independence Day, then the terrorists have won!
