This one is more than heartwarming; it's art-warming. Amazing work by Mike-- not sure what sort of brushes he used when coloring this but I'm definitely curious, as it looks nothing like more recent comics. And this is the first appearance of Jerry's daughter in the comic, isn't it?

Holy crap, Mike, you kicked ass drawing this one. Outstanding job.
Also awww.
I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.

I sometimes get like this with my wife. After I finished playing the Walking Dead I went and spent an entire evening with her, without touching any video games or doing anything else other than spending time with her.
I have no idea what is happening in this comic I get the general idea but the panel-to-panel events are fuzzy. Halp!
The first panel is the title screen of Last of Us, which you see right after the prologue.
The prologue is... kind of intense for anyone who is a father. At least I would imagine, as someone who has no children.

The title pops up at the end too - I figured it was from then, not the intro since they already did that Last Of Us comic from mid game.
Oh brilliant

Now that the PS4 is announced and seemingly won't have backwards compatibility at all, PS3 exclusive games are just frustrating. There's no way to play this game except purchase an effectively obsolete console. Not sure why any 3rd party would create an exclusive for any system in this day and age.
Now that I'm done ranting about that, this is a beautiful comic. Gabe has outdone himself.

Yeah, I imagine alot of emotions in The Last of Us are amplified 100 fold if you're a parent. I mean, I don't have kids, but I was an emotional wreck for most of the game myself. Game's such an emotional rollercoaster. For every one thing that makes you feel good and smile, there's about five "punch you in the heart" events.
GOTY 2013 for sure.

the very fact that the next gen consoles won't have backwards compatibility ensures the current ones are far from obsolete.

I disagree, and would strongly advise you to buy consoles closer to the end of their lifespan if you've the willpower to wait.
Now that you can get a PS3 refurb for like 200 bucks, I'm seriously considering getting one just for The Last of Us and Journey, not to mention all the other games I missed.
If you do, get a Playstation Plus membership. Depending on the games you're interested in, you could make the cost of your purchase back in a couple of months.
Yeah I have 2 daughters....the intro hit me rllly hard. But by time I beat the game both joel and ellie died so many times in so many horrible ways I was pretty desensitized by it.
I have to take regular breaks to ensure that fongoids aren’t doing any spores anywhere; I have to make sure the windows are not merely closed, but super-closed: a new close I have invented that includes an extra half-tug at the end.

As the father of a sixteen month old daughter, I can confirm that the prologue of The Last of Us is quite effective in ripping your insides out and making you dwell on the most horrifying thing you can conceive.
Tycho's post was very accurate, in that people think they get how children work until they actually have children, and then realize that even imagination isn't enough to cover it all. The knife twists, as he said, and you bleed and bleed.

I'll probably wait for the PS4 to drop to drive the price down even more, but I'm planning on doing this too.
nothing obsolete about a cheap console with a huge library
plus the blu-ray player you've been putting off getting
My blu-ray situation is well in hand, I take a bluray, put it in my computer, encode it, OCR any subtitles as needed and drop it on my HTPC, put it back in its case and put it on the shelf. I don't need or want a spinning disk player at this point.

More games to choose from.
I guess that is one way of looking at it. It is still remarkably expensive for being this late in its life, which might be from starting off at $texas. But consoles this late in life are typically $99 or maybe $150. $200+ is kind of insane.
But I have a 360, so for the most part a PS3 is redundant. I don't think I own a single exclusive Xbox game, I could have just as easily bought a PS3 and it wouldn't have changed my library at all. This gen, I know I won't be getting both a PS4 and a Xbone. It seems likely I'll only be getting a PS4. I'm more upset about this seemingly excellent survival horror game being an exclusive at all than it being a PS3 exclusive specifically.
But not that upset, really. It's not like I don't have a backlog. Because I totally do.

TOTALLY agree..... fatherhood changes your view of things. First time I ever cried during the first 30 minutes of a game... Or the first 30 minutes of anything?!
I told myself I wasn't to spend 60 bucks on another game this year until the next gen launch, but dammit this game seems custom made to demand I get it, and I'm so glad I did. It's ridiculously good, with a story that stands right along Telltale's Walking Dead in quality and brutality, but with gameplay to match its narrative strides step for step. Even in normal, every encounter with enemies just feels mind-numbingly dangerous, but not in that Dark Souls way that just feels frustrating and cheap; the danger cuts both ways for you and the enemies. I love it.

Only time will tell if Gaikai is actually worth a darn though.
As for the comic itself, awesome, makes me really want to play Last of Us.

I don't like children.

And the media streaming services, which I've probably used more than any game.
My wife has the platinum for Netflix.
I'm sure everyone that you tell this finds your opinion utterly fucking fascinating.
The desu completes it for me.
As if Tycho needed another reason to avoid going outside.
