The last 48 hours have been frustrating for me as this site has been targeted with lots and lots of spam comments. I get an email every time someone comments whether the comment is approved or gets caught in my filter and needs approval. Let’s just say I’m getting a lot of email these days. In an effort to curb the spamming, I’m going to close comments on all comics and blog posts that are more than a month old. We get very few comments on older comics anyway, so I don’t think it’s a huge loss. You can always email us if you feel the need to respond to something in our archives.
[Update]: Just saw that one of my anti-spam plugins was disabled. I don’t know how that happened, but maybe that’s the problem!

We have a special podcast this week with the world premiere of Ray’s new song, a cover of Joy Electric’s Dance to Moroder. You gotta check it out! Also, we discuss criticism of Ray’s criticism of Mario Galaxy and SOMEONE is getting an Xbox 360!

I’ve been getting a lot of feedback about my Galaxy review from various places, including a large amount at GoNintendo. It sounds like people hate me over there… Things they have been saying really started to irk me when reading them - it wasn’t my intention to throw people into cursing rages. When they start assuming things about me that are incorrect is when I care a little less about what they have to say. Because then I know for a fact they’ve got it all wrong when they’re basing their argument off of a false pretence.
Some of them are clearly level-headed though, and I appreciate that. If anything, I’ve come under a lot of attack for saying “it’s hard to think of a Zelda game that could have been any more perfect than what I just saw (in twilight princess)” All the big Zelda fans apparently do not feel the same way, and it’s made me realize something:

If you didn’t preorder Super Mario Galaxy, then chances are you didn’t get the Free Commemorative Launch Coin that I have! Well, here’s your chance, because one lucky random commenter will get my coin. All you have to do is leave a comment below telling me if you like our new site design and/or what else we could do to improve it. I’ll email the winner next week. Good luck!
[Update]: Guilherme is the winner with comment 10! Thanks for the feedback on the website everyone and good luck with our next giveaway!

Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there! Ray and I are certainly thankful for all our readers who make it worthwhile for us to keep making comics. I’ll be honest, it would be difficult to pour our time into this without the feedback we get from you guys, so know that even when we don’t respond, you guys keep us going! Anyway, let us know if you have any “Thanksgiving gaming” stories to tell as this is always a great time to show off games to family and friends. And good luck with the Black Friday shopping!

Here’s our latest podcast (rss, mp3, iTunes), discussing Mario Galaxy and a host of other topics. We have another trivia question for you guys as well as a sneak peek at what’s in store for 2P START! this week, so check it out!
