    Okay, what the crap. PierceNeck just went nuts and bought 4 games on my wishlist (all around 3 dollars, but still). I don't need more games! But thanks a ton, man. You're crazy.

    Ahh! I've been gift-sniped by Athenor! Just Cause 2!

    Hooray! Thanks!

    It brought me many hours of mindless fun. :D Just promise to do everything like an over the top insane comic book action hero.

    The funniest physics death I can think of was in the Portal 2 co-op. It's not a funny description, but there's a puzzle in a big room with aerial faith plates, and one of the players has to fly through the room and catch a box that the other player launches or drops toward them. Watching my friend fall to his death after colliding in mid-air with my mistimed box drop had me laughing so hard.

    Athenor: I played the demo on the Xbox 360, and I had so much fun! I can't imagine why you wouldn't do everything like an over-the-top insane comic book action hero in a game like this.

    Anyone?

    I wouldn't say no to a gift of that.

    Steam ID is in my sig.

    I definitely don't have any screenshots of amazing physics deaths, but the best one I can remember is a sad sad tail of gravity in Portal 2 co-op. Me and ChaosHat were in the last area, the old test site, and we're playing around with the gels and the light bridges to get up to the exit. He gets up their first, by the design of the level, but we couldn't figure out how I was supposed to get up there. So we sat there, for a bit, just kind of dicking around, throwing ideas at each other while I am shooting the light bridges to various walls and walking all over the place in front of him. I mean I am just hitting any portal ready surface while he mocks me for walking in and out of his view constantly. So as he finally figures out the correct approach, I finally hit one of the walls that is at an angle, and walk through the portal oblivious to how steep the slope is. It as this point Hat finally turns back to me and declares he has the solution as I slide past his field of view straight down a light bridge ramp of my own making to my death in the water below.

    I will help Steam to gift you a monsoon, but I need you to friend me (jclast). I can't initiate on the web apparently because instead of doing things sensibly the initiate friend request thingie is a Steam link. Or PM me your email and I will serve the Newell via the electronicest of mails.

    Done, and am eagerly awaiting finding out what the electronic version of a monsoon is.

    [strike]Okay, it's not much, but since everyone here is being so generous, I want to have a contest.

    So we don't muddle up the thread, for the next 30 minutes, PM me a link to your favorite Penny Arcade comic strip, and your Steam ID. I will gift the person with the best taste in comics the Penny Arcade RSPD Episodes 1 and 2 pack.

    Sound good?

    Edit: edited to help make it more noticeable. I will definitely post the winning strip. by the way this is going to be so hard because all of the entries so far have been among my favorites[/strike]

    This is a cool contest but I am kind of sorry you are doing it via PM because I would like to see what everybody's favorite PA comics are, although I would be hard-pressed to select just one myself.

    Yeah, figured portal 2 would be the game that most people would think of for that contest.

    Both of them made me giggle, so I'm giving it to both mntrankusu and radius

    The payment method I'm trying to use is my Steam wallet. You'd think I could use it once yesterday and once today with no issues. You'd be wrong though. :(
