Deus Ex has questions, certainly; that is its basic idea. It has questions about things, and for you, and it also trains you to ask questions of your own about the spaces you inhabit and the events that transpire there.
As soon as this trailer hit, it should have been pretty clear that we were no longer in fuck around territory; it should have become clear that shit was getting progressively more real. Good God does this game get a hook in, and early. We do not twinkle in the critical firmament, as others do: I got the game when you did, so I’m in no position to hold forth. But the game has set up shop in my mind, it hums and clangs when I desperately need this mind for other purposes.
The original version of the strip had a typo, which have come to be known as “Tychpos” by the streaming channel, on account of their origin. I have replaced the original strip with a “fixed” one against my better judgement. The first one had duplicate words in it, which means more content, and hence more value to the end consumer.
For this I will not apologize, you’ll never get me copper, etc.
After emerging from a prolonged darkness in which there was only Halo, Bungie emerged blinkingly from that place and then decided they would act as Publisher for mobile and social games for some reason. That’s their prerogative; they can do what they want ta do. Where I start to pay attention is when they start getting friendly with weirdo factories like Harebrained Schemes, which I’d heard about due to their Transmedia Poe Experience because that is the kind of thing I hear about.
While the stories I’ve read have mentioned the the first collaboration between these two - specifically, Crimson: Steam Pirates - they haven’t made a point of mentioning the involvement of storied bad-ass and Crimson Skies creator Jordan Wiesman, who I guarantee has brought you joy beyond measure. Nor have they drawn the obvious parallels between this game and Steambirds, which you can tell from the screens it is thoroughly, er, “inspired” by. There’s a much better story there, just on the periphery of the circulated press release; it only takes about about five seconds to find it.

The Penny Arcade store will have a bunch of cool stuff this year at PAX.
Here is a look at the T-Shirts we will have on hand. You can see we’ve added a Hot Dog Fairy shirt this year. It’s a PAX inside joke that goes way back. We’ve also got the PAX 2011 shirt, these go fast every year so if you want one you should try and get it on the first day.
We will also have a few hoodies available even though it will be sunny and in the 70’s this weekend.
Those of you with Astro A30 headphones may want to pick up our new Speaker Tags. The design this year features Gabe and Tycho riding a magical unicorn from our anniversary book.
You’ll be the hit of the Lan party with these super masculine tags!
Finally we are trying out a new bonus system this year. If you buy stuff we will give you free stuff. Here’s the breakdown.

Yayyyyy Deus Ex comic, game is so good and highly deserving of at least one.

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.

50? Hunter, that's crazy talk. Be safer at 200.
I would maybe go back to contacts, but I don't blink enough so my eyes are prone to drying out.
If my eyesight should ever start to fade, I will be glasses all the way.
I was the same... until September. I am getting contacts ASAP. After living 22 years without glasses, they are a major annoyance now.
I was like, finally.
Then I was like

Also, I'd totally go for a pair of laser-eyes. Or getting my colorblind-ness fixed.
They're synonyms and sound very similar, so, who cares?
Because that what happens when you whack yourself with them - violent pain followed by throbbing numbness.

He's not pointing out rim vs. brim, he's pointing out the duplication of the word "with."
Im guessing they edited to fix the typo...
you're thinking of dumb-chucks
for stupids.
What about that first line in his post leads you to that conclusion?
Maybe I shouldn't have left "rim" in bold. I just wrote everything as it's written in the strip. But yeah, I was pointing out the double "with"s.
EDIT: but hey, it's been fixed, so no biggie!

I have sever eye problems but they are fixed pretty handily by contact lenses
Contact lens technology has advanced to the point where I don't even notice I have them in most of the time

If that's true, I would expect a lawsuit from On Live against GameStop. I'm pretty sure that sort of anti-competitive interference is illegal, at least in the U.S. Also, if GameStop does not specifically indicate that they have modified the product, customers can probably sue them for false advertising - e.g. there was no indication they were buying a box where the contents had been modified from what is normally available from every other retailer.
Bonus fun: It would be totally awesome if a GameStop employee refused to follow this order, based upon the belief that the action was probably illegal, and then was fired by GameStop. Could have a whole other lawsuit for wrongful termination. I mean, it might not be awesome for the employee at first, being fired and all, but if he/she can get a big fat settlement out of it, might be pretty awesome for them in the end.
Oh and it doesn't smell like fuckin FEET in the BB either..
I wish they offered more of their shirts in white/light colors. I'm (more than) set for black tees.

I wear soft contacts for sports, but unless you're rocking some granddad frames or something off the NHS glasses are awesome. I don't wear a watch so it's pretty much my only accessory.

Tycho has gone into the strip and removed previously available content
There has to be a law against this

Maybe I could borrow my dad's...
