Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Aw, a President's choice, and I didn't get to be all Presidential.

Fellow humans, I'm afraid I can't help at all on this one.

I'm sorry, I'm salivating over Arkham Asylum. Tycho's comment on Penny Arcade only makes me want it more:

I'm starving for more Batman: Arkham Asylum, as last night's excursion (incursion?) was cut short by the action of my "Night Time" cold medication. Things got progressively more surreal until I was blacking out, losing time between scenes and waking up in places unfamiliar. It was actually very convincing; maybe I should do it again tonight.

I'm sorry, I'm salivating over Arkham Asylum. Tycho's comment on Penny Arcade only makes me want it more:

Trust me, salivating is only reasonable. I snuck in a few hours gameplay after work, and it's really immersive.

re: Arkham. I haven't even played it but I'm finding it fascinating to watch. Batman has the most diverse arsenal of attacks I've ever seen.

My favorite attack is when Bats hangs upside-down from a gargoyle waiting for a goon to pass underneath and then snatches him up and wrings his neck.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Don't get the "Collector's Edition" Arkham Asylum: [link]

D loves his cheap plastic batarang. He moved Spider-Man, Optimus Prime and Jay (as in & Silent Bob) to make it the centerpiece of our entertainment-center-top display.
