Eh? I don't get the last one. The one about the PSP/PC/GC was kinda funny, though.

The 'we live in a universe where we don't have to know everything' part was funny.

Since this post was made earlier than your response to <a href="viewtopic.php?t=9792">this</a> thread, I'll assume you've gotten it by now. Obviously, it needs the context of the "game" Jack Thompson proposed, and it doesn't hurt to know that Gabe e-mailed him explaining that Child's Play (the charity they run around Christmastime that buys gaming equipment for kids in children's hospitals to play while waiting for surgery or convalescing) has raised about half a million in donations and equipment in two years, which Gabe then compared to Jack's $10,000 promised donation if someone made his "game". Gabe put his phone number in the signature for his e-mail, and Jack called him back asking if they'd ever actually donated to charity themselves (which they have, usually to Child's Play every year, to say nothing of the donations of personal time they put in setting it up), and then after a few more exchanged words threatened to sue Gabe into oblivion if Gabe ever e-mailed him again. At least, that's the gist I got off the Penny Arcade newspost.

And I agree with Eric, especially about the latest strip. :)
