I’m taking Thursday off, so no comic on Friday. Enjoy your holiday.

Aww, I wonder which Thanksgiving that was. They all smush together in my memory, but I was…eight? Oh shit, that was the thanksgiving right after my first major seizure.
I didn’t actually take part in that Thanksgiving dinner, I was busy having an allergic reaction to one of my medications. I think I vaguely remember an audio book about a magical teddy bear taking two kids though a magic world for…some reason? It had Christian overtones…and something about a Christmas star? Weird.
Borderlands Series
A look at the main Borderlands games. What works, what doesn't, and where the series can go from here.
Batman: Arkham City
A look back at one of my favorite games. The gameplay was stellar, but the underlying story was clumsy and oddly constructed.
The Disappointment Engine
No Man's Sky is a game seemingly engineered to create a cycle of anticipation and disappointment.
Was it a Hack?
A big chunk of the internet went down in October of 2016. What happened? Was it a hack?
Hardware Review
