I'll make this last post short and sweet.

Nothing crazy is going on Mike and I just decided to start working on bigger and better projects. Perhaps sometime in the future we'll gather the urge to do more Node Comics, but until then think of us fondly as you browse our archives.

If you'd like to see more comics leave us tons of comments and tell your friends.

   Shhhh keep your voice down, Mike is taking care of his baby and I'm getting some rest. We'll be back in a few weeks with some fantastic comics, new content, and if you're really good, perhaps we'll have a new website.

Yeah, I know it's freakin late...but (seriously) I just got over my hangover.

I still suffer from the "millennium blues". You know. Back when I was a kid by the year "2000" cars were supposed to be airborne, and shoes would tie themselves, not to mention hover boards and cyberpunk gangs roaming the streets. Well...here we are, eight years later and still everythings the damn same. It depresses me. It really does.

Every year is the same. Every year they drop that huge ball in New York. Then you go home.

Just once I'd like to see something awesome happen.

Countdown starts, draws down to "1", and then a tidal wave sweeps over the whole damn city or maybe an alien spacecraft steals the ball before it even finishes it's countdown, leaving us in a state of permanent limbo...then chaos would ensue.  That would  be great.

What's with that ball dropping anyway?? Certain circles would consider that the first "teabag" of the year so that you can get used to the many more teabags to come in the new year. Our society is just one big dick joke. I'm certain of it.

With that I bring you this comic. Celebrate the New Year the XBL way!

     I find myself unsure which holiday I'd like to support. It’s something I’ve been torn over for many years. My family and little ones generally lean toward Christmas since it is THE national holiday and every piece of media and announcement is generally geared towards Santa Clause and his strange affliction with little people and hooved mammals. But with a personal understanding that the media has built this holiday into a sick montage designed to appeal and offend all religions that celebrate the ACTUAL holidays Christmas is based on. It only makes me dislike it that much more.

    I know that many say “the holiday isn't about THAT, it's about family and giving to the ones you love”, but really...common...this is the time of year that people stress themselves close to death and then have a explosion of happiness in one day only to get back to stressing about how they're going to cover the cost of everything. It's like smacking your balls with a hammer till that terrific moment of explosive pleasure and then tolerating a month of throbbing pain...it just doesn't make any fucking sense. And the media rubs there hands together with great pleasure knowing this.

     Now don't get me wrong, I’m ecstatic when I can spend time with the ones I love and watching as they greedily search for shinier wrapping to tear to shreds, but there has to be another way to give an equal amount of pleasure with less pain. So Mike and I have come up with a reasonable old world solution that involves destruction and pleasure (for adults only). The kids can go sit in the car until the party is over.

Apparently, a Norwegian kid and his sister were out fooling around in the woods when they were accosted by a herd of deadly meese. The story doesn't mention who pulled aggro, however it was Hans who stepped up and bravely "played dead" until the meese decided to leave. He attributes the technique with the game World of Warcraft and the level 30 hunter skill "feign death".

All I can say to this story is "Game on". If you're actually learning survival tools while playing WoW, awesome. I've never thought if it that way, but I do now. In fact, this weekend while I'm wrapping up Christmas shopping...I'm pulling out the blade and fully plan on utilizing my "rend hamstring" for the slow people in my way and then I'll point, laugh at them and do a silly dance.

The next time your parents, whiny ass girlfriend or anyone tells you you're playing too much WoW...Just tell it like it is .
