Penny Arcade is awesome.
They do web comics on videogames. They also have a lil blogish section where they elaborate on the most recent comic if they feel fit.
The newest entry on the site: Penny-arcade.com: "That Infernal Industry"
No doubt there is considerable enthusiasm for the rumored couple minutes of Halo 3 at this year's E3, but I couldn't help thinking about the Goddamn deathmarch the people over at Bungie have been in for what has got to be going on eight years now. I guess I shouldn't invent motivations for them. As people are bored by the time we have created the third panel of a comic, we may represent a statistical abberation. Maybe they still like Halo. You know? Maybe they are unstoppably enthusiastic. Maybe they are angels and they can fly around the fucking room.
As a mental exercise: I really like caramel, but if I had to bathe in fucking caramel and eat it for every meal and fucking wear caramel for clothes, and then go to a building made out of caramel and work with sentient hunks of caramel I may find my taste for caramel diminished.
I don't doubt that Master Chief will carry himself in a valiant manner. I heard that he fights a polar bear in this one, and though slow to anger ursus maritimus - the White Devil - can prove a canny opponent. But Halo is no longer a game, or even a franchise - Halo is Microsoft's beachhead in an increasingly savage conflict. Bungie is ordnance. And what is ordnance if you do not expend it?
