Order of the Stick forbids hotlinking, so people won't be able to see that one.

Shadzar burn!

Yanno, in that last panel i got the sudden notion that Durkon would bite and turn Roy and the rest of the team (not in this battle per se since he does not have Malak's special spell to speed turning). To adventure in daylight they would need to be around durkon's stick. Then the Order of the Stick becomes fitting.

Won't happen but it amused me.

So, the Pandante kickstarter is up. The game seems to be a blend of Texas Hold 'em and Liar's Dice, with the added complications of using (or bluffing about) about colors in your hand to play abilities and collecting Panda Lord powerups.

The part that rocks is that the artist is an apparently fictional "european minimalist designer" whose entire web presence is press for the game kickstarter and this rockingly minimalist Twitter feed

From a game's fan forum:

WHAT THE HELL CHUCKLEFISH?!

You said the beta was coming out on PC first...
And now I find out you released already on the imagination?! No body even has an imagination anymore, they were phased out with television!!

SO ANGRY!!

From the game's devblog:

So why do people hate the MST3K Episode Hamlet so much?

I thought it was pretty funny myself. Not the best, but nowhere near the worst -- that would be the vast majority of Season 1 episodes picked in any random order.

The 10/29/13 episode of the Daily Show had a segment about which state would be last to legalize gay marriage. They couldn't decide if Mississippi or Alabama would "swim the longest against the tide of history". To answer the question they, among other things, spoke to an Alabama lawyer and a Mississippi columnist, asking them to defend their state's claim as least tolerant in the union. The part that rocked me was how they DID IT!

"Mississippi was the last to ratify the 13th amendment... In Mississippi [sodomy] is a felony. I'm surprised a gay couple can get a fishin' license in Mississippi..."

"Alabama's constitution mandates separate schools for whites and colored students, and it still does."
"You still say colored?"
"Yeah, oh yeah."

And so on. Beautiful.

I don't say colored. I say "black".

But the state constitution is a fucking mess which should be burned down and started over. It was literally written with the intention of enforcing segregation and all that shit.

All county ordinances have to be passed through the state legislature. After about a hundred years, it's some 700,000 words or so.

Retsupurae's videos on Alone in the Dark 2 were pretty amazing. They'd have been even better if Slowbeef had paid a little more attention and realized the depths of the dumb/crazy revealed by the reading segments.

The comments section for the last video recommended this as the abridged take on the whole trilogy:

This was a fantastic LP, and now people don't need a forum account to read the thread.

Holy Hillbillies and Bible Bullies! I loved the Scandalicious treatment of the Tea Party.

John Cleese wrote:The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."

The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose."

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be alright, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the last final escalation level.

A final thought - " Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC".

It's not actually John Cleese. It was just some random shmuck on the internet until it had gone around long enough for the internet to forget it wasn't John Cleese, and then someone stuck his name on it. Virtually any anonymous piece of humor that makes it popular on the internet will eventually end up attributed to someone famous. It's also like a decade old, just updated to current events.

Edit: I was ninja'd by an hour and didn't notice? Lesson learned. Refresh before responding to old TGD tabs.

@DSM -

The piece is still funny, though.

George Carlin in particular used to get victimized by that shit all the time.
