It’s hosted on a blog, so there’s no need for me to mirror-post every single Chainmail Bikini entry like I do with Stolen Pixels. So, I’m warning you now I won’t be reminding you every MWF to read it. However, I do want to point you to the first one.
A Star is Born
Remember the superhero MMO from 2009? Neither does anyone else. It was dumb. So dumb I was compelled to write this.
Are Lootboxes Gambling?
Obviously they are. Right? Actually, is this another one of those sneaky hard-to-define things?
Batman: Arkham Origins
A breakdown of how this game faltered when the franchise was given to a different studio.
The Terrible New Thing
Fidget spinners are ruining education! We need to... oh, never mind the fad is over. This is not the first time we've had a dumb moral panic.
Starcraft: Bot Fight
Let's do some scripting to make the Starcraft AI fight itself, and see how smart it is. Or isn't.

There’s no need with Stolen Pixels, either. Of course, you’re perfectly justified. The additional commentary is usually worth seeing it mentioned twice.
yd: I post it here because some people want to comment but aren’t into the whole account creation thing.
ehh, i appreciate the links. i find the escapist’s site to be a pain, really, so the links directly to the comic are good.
need or not, it’s useful.
plus the whole comments thing… but i never seem to have anything to say about the comics anyway. they’re funny though :D
Is it going to continue beyond where it left off last time? Or will this new host merely publish the series up till when it left off?
In any case, bookmarked. :)
EDIT: Never mind. It’s clearly stated in the comments after the comic.
Hey, I understand it’s your birthday today, Shamus? Best of wishes!
Shawn, not Shamus. =P
Shamus’ birthday is, if I recall, August… 24th?
Wait, you didn’t have a complete archive? I’ve got one on one of my servers. Did I miss a post where you were looking for it?
I’ve got all 51 comics, plus ten other files posted as part of the comics. Is there anything I can throw to you guys?
Duncan: I’m missing the last two posts – the story wrap-up. They were all text and I entered them directly instead of writing them locally and uploading them.
If you’re missing text and not images, I’m afraid I can’t help with that. I archive webcomic images, but I don’t seem to have the posts saved. Sorry about that.
Happy Birthday Shamus.
And yay, Chainmail Bikini! I love this comic.
I’d appreciate it if you could post about them here so I don’t have to add another RSS Feed to my ig page.
It’s not his birthday! /backhand
The reason the police can’t bust the criminals for assaulting you is that you’re technically trespassing and threatening them, making it self-defense. The guns they use also aren’t admissable as evidence because they were obtained without a search warrant, and search warrants can’t be issued to private citizens like Star On Chest.
Duncan- please send me the extra images. A lot of stuff I just made and then uploaded, and lost my copies when my computer died a year or so ago. Email anything non-comic you have to shawn.gaston at gmail.com
thanks!
@Shamus:
Perhaps the “Internet Archive: Wayback Machine” (http://www.archive.org/web/web.php) may help you with the missing two pages you mentioned.
I was surprised what I could find in their archive. Small web-pages I made for a small handful of gamers, and other stuff.
It’s kinda funny to dig through various sites too.
Edit:
Your blog is listed too. There is an entry from november 2006:

What happened to your comic?The link is broken now, but one month ago it worked.
