Warning: This comic is very dirty.
Diablo III Retrospective
We were so upset by the server problems and real money auction that we overlooked just how terrible everything else is.
Batman v. Superman Wasn't All Bad
It's not a good movie, but it was made with good intentions and if you look closely you can find a few interesting ideas.
What is Vulkan?
What is this Vulkan stuff? A graphics engine? A game engine? A new flavor of breakfast cereal? And how is it supposed to make PC games better?
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.
This Scene Breaks a Character
Small changes to the animations can have a huge impact on how the audience interprets a scene.
“The Safety Manse”
You’re going to the special heck for that pun, sir.
The escapist seems to be down – I can’t get there, anyway. And I tried one of your older comic links just to be sure it wasn’t a bad link.
:-(
Worked for me, though I got there directly, from the Stolen Pixels RSS feed.
(Yes, I subscribe to its feed, as well as to the 20 Sided feed. Double notifications for the win!)
It’s down for me too. :( It doesn’t take me there even if I click the banners or type in the URL manually.
Clearly the comic was so dirty that it broke the site
Yep sites been down all day.
I did get a PM yesterday about them upgrading the servers, I guess they broke something.
Fantastic, I’m not the only one.
Congratulations Shamus, you broke the internet :p
The Escapist seems to be working now.
Still broken for me at least.
I’m unable to resolve http://www.escapistmagazine.com. Does anyone have an IP for the escapist cached?
EDIT: I spelled it correctly in nslookup.
I can resolve it now, yay!
Yeah I’m not able to get there either and haven’t been most of the morning. Which makes me very sad, as I’ve been looking forward to the next comic. Damned Internet hamsters getting out of their wheels.
Seems like a dns thing, it works for me now.
Not working for me, either through your link or the ad banners.
And here I was sure the punchline was going to have to do with Louis having been a real estate agent before the apocalypse…
EDIT: Kloth has provided me with the IP, but I get nothing from them except an “Oops” message.
awww. escapist still down for me. trying for a few hours now.
Up for me.
now up, but VERY slow (20-30 seconds) to resolve.
I tried this afternoon and now again. Still not working.
I ran a dnsstuff.com report and the name servers for the escapistmagazine.com domain are offline.
Hopefully a technical glitch that will be corrected soon, although the fact that they only show a single name server (209.34.224.91) helps explain the failure (normally there are 2 to 4 name servers set to respond to a domain for this reason).
“Safety Manse”.
…
That might just be the best thing I’ve heard this week.
“Fort Awesome” is what I named my fortress in Suikoden.
Google’s cache was able to get me there…. very slowly.

Any idea when you’ll use another game for stolen pixels?
I must admit that I have no interest in Left 4 Dead and while I have found this series to be entertaining, it is always much more funny when you use a game I have played.
Of course this is an honest question, not a direct request ; )
In other news, you made BoingBoing. Hurrah!
Funny, funny, funny stuff. I like this a hell of a lot. Your L4D strips mine comedy gold…through the outhouse.
On another note, your Pixel City is now on Kotaku.
