Studies show that the sublime joy of creation can sustain an artist for up to 3 weeks. It tastes like chicken.

Quid

First no comic in the OP, now no defined discussion subject.

I might soon be time to take Dog out back.

Henroid

Khoo comics are the best comics.

Nijhazer

Well, at least this comic is honest.

DoctorEars

This feels like the type of comic you just know was an actual conversation. Khoo's expression in panel three is priceless.

SKOoOTA

Hahaha The Evil Eye Of Khoo!!!! Seen that look before.

TFXRaven

Haha, oh my god.

Robert "The Joker" Khoo - "If you're good at something, why do it for free???" :-P

Runningman

Lesser men are turned to stone by the withering gaze of Khoo.

Lucascraft

Stern Khoo is best Khoo.

Lucascraft

Also, Dog is on the fritz. I think it's time to bring back our Geth Overlord.

AntonNUL

Oh, Robert, you will always make sure Mike and Jerry will be able to feed their young with your unheard of methods of making money out of anything.

Looks like there might be a bloody leadership Khoo in the near future

Vitari

This might be in my top ten favorite strips of all time. I hope there's a 4th Panel for this.

I view that action going in the totally opposite direction<grin>.

oh god, Khoo, what's wrong with your right arm... it's so much longer than your left.

Also, you have really weird forearms.

anyways, this coming is priceless, as is this tweet from esadsad.

Clearly Khoo is a close cousin to Elasti-girl. His annoyance caused his arm to begin to elongate in preparation for the slap to the back of the head he is about to deliver to Gabe.

Commander Zoom

the Khoo is displeased.

Is it just me or does the font change about halfway through the post today?

They are both Helvetica, but the later part is bolded. I pasted it into Word, I can't tell fronts apart to save my life.

Rottonapple

Well, let's hope Gabe makes a news post today with a link to whatever this Thornwatch creation was.

Jerry started feeling very bold about halfway through typing the newspost.

He is a laser that you don't want pointed at you.

Live on Xbox One can be very sensitive to NAT shit.

This is... not new news. Xbox Live has and forever will be plagued by the mysterious forces of NAT, whatever the hell they are (no, listen; I worked for Comcast and I still don't know what that shit actually factually is) and this is why my home network is open as can be save for MAC filtering and a disguised SSID. (Granted, were my neighbors more tech savvy, I would likely need to reconsider this lack of security features. Thankfully, I live where people pronounce the device immodeum, and their hope is that magical ISP faeries grant them internet access through it and its cohort Mozzerella Foxfire.)

NAT - Network Adress Translation. In the case of Xbox Live the data routing from your public IP (usually your router has one) to the machine in your private (home) network - XBox. It's the "translation" of data so it can pass through different networks. XBox live needs certain ports (communication channels) to be open in order to establish a connection. In an ideal scenario the router and the Xbox negotiate and the router opens the ports and you can use all Live services. You can also configure the router to always direct the Live communication to your Xbox (port forwarding).

If these ports aren't available then alternate, open ports are used. Then, esoteric things can happen for example: you are unable to connect to certain games, users are unable to connect to your game, you cannot group chat - or only with specific people, etc.

There are lots of cases one cannot fully configure the network devices (dorm network, shared network, mobile network) - so you are stuck with a botched Live service.

Khoooooooon!
I blame Khoo for the site being all about pins and dropping Ben and gaming news. Though I know there were other reasons - just easier to blame Moneymasta Khoo.

Spaffy

Birthday comic - and it's my favourite for a while!

A couple years ago without any intervention on my part my XBOX declared my NAT to be moderate instead of open and I was never able to get it to go back.
It's never caused me any problems, but I have a friend who has all sorts of weird issues with Live.
It signs him completely out of Live whenever he launches a game. He is completely unable to be in a party with one of our other friends unless someone else is there. It doesn't matter who starts the party, as long as there's at least those two guys + 1. If that last extra person leaves, the party instantly falls apart. This has persisted for a couple years, through multiple xboxes, ISPs, and residences in different parts of the country for both of them.
