    I don't see the point of dumb eye-fixer surgery for stupids.

    1. Can no longer wear sweet designer frames
    2. Non-zero chance of it fucking up

    That said I remember wearing contacts for the first time. It was raining and I was like "OMG I can still see everything!" Fun novelty.

    do you drive a car? you have a non-zero chance of dying.

    lasik surgery fuckin owns, and this comic is good

    That letter for Gamestop stores is goddamn ridiculous, wow.

    Anyway. Why have a laser-eye when you can have a sword-arm?

    Centrism is just the cowardly way to be a bigot w/o being explicit about it.
    American politics isn't 4D chess, it's just if you give a shit about other people or not.

    Well, laser-eyes have a significantly longer range, but I definitely see the appeal in a sword-arm.

Hardly seems like the short end of the stick from here.
    If there is ever a game that will make you see both sides of that debate, it's the new Deus Ex game. Honestly, I know just as many people who would hate robot arms as would love them, and the game does a great job of introducing you to viewpoints like that.

    Get Human Revolution. Just do it. Trust me on this. I never played the original - I tried but it was a bitch getting it to run right on a modern system and the actual gameplay was too dated for my taste. But HR is the shit.

    Or maybe it's the shiznit.

    Dammit, which one means it's good?

    What I'm trying to say is that the game is terrific so far and you will probably enjoy it a lot, regardless of your (lack of) familiarity with the series.

    It's not laser-eye surgery or laser-eye surgery. It's laser eye-surgery. Eye-surgery done with a laser. Gabe's mistake is obviously the whole point of the strip, but Tycho should be putting the hyphen in the right place. :evil:

    The way the first two panels are composed as one scene, so that Tycho still has his Deus Ex happy face when he corrects Gabe, makes it look like he is doing so in an unusually pleasant and good-natured fashion.

    Right back to the usual bemused exasperation in panel three though.

    GameSlop is bullshit anyway, they sell opened games as "new". I watched a clerk do this right in front of me one time, he took a used disc out of some baggie he had stashed behind the counter and put it inside an opened box. I asked him to please get a "new" copy since that one was obviously opened, therefore it can no longer be called "new" (legally, that would be known as "used"). He said no, it WAS new, and it was just their "policy" to open up games like that but still sell them as new. Policy my ASS, I'm pretty sure that's called "fraud", which last time I checked was illegal... Anyway I don't shop there any more, not when I can pick up a nice shiny BRAND NEW shrink-wrapped copy from Best Buy up the street...

    Oh and it doesn't smell like fuckin FEET in the BB either..
    This a thousand times.

    I myself refuse to buy a game sold as new if it has been seen by another living being.

    The store I go to is deep within the New Zealand cave system just south of Auckland. The manager is a small cave dweller who has not seen daylight in over two hundred years.

    He doesn't even touch it either, I just pay him in rare stones and it's carried out to me on the backs of a million writhing worms.

    It's not a perfect system though. Last time I was there I asked for madden '12 and they gave me madden '11 instead! Imagine their embarrassment.

    It doesn't smell like feet though.

    it smells like worms though, which is basically feet.

    Holy Fucking Shit

    HFS

    I can tell you right now I know of at least 5 GM in my area who completely ignored this and at least one DM who sent out an email to their whole district saying to ignore it.

    In other news I haven't been to the PA store in years, since I bought my Rice Fight shirt back in the day, holy shit there are many shirts I want to buy

    Just wanted to point out that we do indeed owe Jordan Weisman a lot. If you've ever played Shadowrun, Mechwarrior, Crimson Skies, or any of the myriad of combat dial games put out by Wizkids, you owe this man a huge pat on the back. It's so sad that he made all of this great stuff and now all he is is a professor.

    Yeah upon further thought it would be really inconsiderate to just give someone robot arms without asking. "Oh thanks, would've liked to had some input on this decision, but these are nice I guess". It's sort of a push/pull for being able to give yourself strangers ALL THE TIME and having cold hands ALL THE TIME. It reminds me of playing Mortal Kombat when I was younger and loving Jax's Ground Pound. Also sort of a Ghost in The Shell vibe going there.
