Well you can't leave out the semen. Gives it that zip..

I'm going to argue - and hear me out here - that there are many situations in which you actually can leave the semen out. I would like the youth of America to seriously think, when presented with a situation, about whether or not it's appropriate to put the semen in. I would like them to consider the point that, according to numerous studies, putting the semen in is precisely what you should not do.

So... I'm starting to have doubts about the homemade hot sauce I have "fermenting" in the fridge now. Should I be adding some knuckle children and battery acid to it or not? If not, I guess the cayenne juice will have to do on it's own.

What's the rubber cement for? Or is it just a binding agent?

KoopahTroopah

My avatar for proper reaction to this comic.

Also slenderman alien hands on Tycho are creepy.

I think this is an issue we all can relate to, taking right from our lives.

Based on Tycho's kickstarter history, I can only assume these turned out to be a bust:

Hahaha, I love strips in which Tycho dies. Don't get me wrong, I love Tycho and all, but the strips where he dies are some of the funniest ones IMO.

Anyone have any other favorites?

Any comic in which the watch trades hands.

Well, I was specifically trying to recall other funerals.

I thought that was what the semen was for.

KoopahTroopah

I didn't even notice that he says "Aww jeah!" instead of "Aww yeah!"

fightinfilipino

well, the semen can't be the particular ingredient causing death. semen is apparently quite good for health, actually.

Also, I picked up a new 3DS Xl this weekend and it’s pretty cool. The larger screen is great and it’s a nice piece of hardware. I’m curious though, am I the only one who finds it harder to get into the perfect 3D viewing position? It seems to be more difficult to get it right into that sweet spot where there is no headache inducing ghosting. I always seemed to have more trouble than my friends getting the 3DS to look right and the problem seems to be made worse by the larger screen. All the reviews I’ve read say just the opposite though. They say that finding that 3D sweet spot is easier with the XL. I wear glasses for astigmatism and I’ve always wondered if maybe that has something to do with it. Anyone else have this problem?

He's probably not going to read this, because I know they're afraid of the PA forum-goers, but I've had the same issue. Not that I have much to complain about with the XL since I don't play many 3D games on it*, and the larger screen is actually a huge difference when you compare it to the smaller DS, DSi or 3DS, much less eye strain.

*I needed to pick up a new handheld since my DSL went kaput and the XL wasn't a whole lot more expensive than the 3DS, so I went with the upgrade.

I know this is probably going to come off sounding like spam but here goes.

I joined the forum just because of this news post. Well, specifically, I joined the forum because this news post contains a link to the Reaper "Bones" Kickstarter. If you play table top games, you should seriously consider backing this one.

Short reason: you get lots of minis.

Long reason? At the $100 "vampire" level, Two Hundred and Five miniatures, as of this writing. Including hordes of goblins, scads of vermin, enough sci-fi soldiers to start your own skirmish game, elves, dwarves, fighters, undead, pirates, devils, ghosts, fire elementals, nearly all the iconic Pathfinder characters, Zombie hunters, two squads of sci-fi soldiers, and a big bunch of other, equally awesome stuff.

And, well, if you back it, then it'll get closer and closer to the magical NEXT stretch goal, and this far, every stretch goal has improved vampire level, which makes us all more excited about reaching the next one, and so on.

So, yeah, that sounds like spam, but honestly, this is probably the Roleplaying minis sale of the year. Getting in now isn't really urgent, just getting in before Saturday, when the whole thing ends.

And... having just read the rules, I realize this is probably like promoting a kickstarter... which there is a blanket ban on, even though i'm just really, really agreeing with the news post, and telling you why... Yeah, promoting a kickstarter. So, i'll just report myself, shall I?

The news post suggests he hasn't gotten them yet, but is thinking towards the uncertain future.

King Riptor

I could not in good faith fund an edible.product on kickstarter.

Primarily for the reasons tycho has outlined.

Exclusions would include some sort of hotdog injected with cheese and wrapped in bacon and cola. Both of which are pretty much all chemicals anyway.

I never noticed the urn matches his shirt. That was a nice touch.

Sterica

Funny that the semen is probably the least dangerous ingredient in that sauce.

It's...it's just a slang word

Some dude really thinks he invented it last week?

I'm trying to be mad at him, but I just can't do it. That deal is genuinely awesome, and keeps getting better. I need to start clicking on Jerry's KS links more often.
