You probably did not hear about this. A 27-year old man was arrested for, *ahem*, “coupling” with a number of sheep. A hobby generally frowned upon in most circles of society. As “always,” Gamer Candy has a shocking speculation on the subject this week.

At the end of the article, it says that the maximum prison sentence for beastiality is two years. I am really curious how that conversation would go with a fellow inmate.

“. . . And then I stabbed that sonuvabitch in the face! So . . . what are you in for?”

“Boinkin’ sheep.”

A friend of mine, Cody Klingman (who you can see credited at the bottom of the comic) was visiting over weekend, and was helping brainstorm ideas for the comic.

While he was here, we picked up a used copy of Guitar Hero III, as well as two of the controllers, as to engage in some pretend guitaring.

There is something strangely engaging about clicking in time with the music, actually quite engaging. Engaging enough to keep us playing for about twelve hours one day. I woke up after that with my left hand crippled, unused to the strange amount of movement. With each solid press with my pinky, I could feel my tendon being stretched like a frayed cord, and yet I pressed on.

Unfortunately, I am terrible at rhythm games, and lack any true sense of a beat. As we played co-op (him on guitar, me on bass) I could only watch as his fingers flew in complex patterns, frenzied movements translated into a smooth rendition of rock music. I slowly plunked away at my note patterns, keeping a solid single-note base line, all the while screeches and warbles eminated from me as I missed the orange key . . . AGAIN.

The bass part was poorly designed. It seems like most of the songs have relatively simple and easy rhythms to play (as compared to its breathren the guitar). Unfortuantely, some songs grow much more complicated, required arthritis-inducing hand splits at alarming speeds.

If you haven’t guessed, plunking slowly at single note columns does not prepare one for such a steep transition.

My weak attempts to play the complicated parts were mostly frenzied buttons presses and maniacal strums. Eventually the crowd would tire of us and boo us off the stage, or in layman’s terms, we would fail the song. Usually at these times Cody would look back with a mournfully straight face and ask, “Do you have a hard part, or something?”

I have found two webcomics that I feel deserve mentioning. Both contain some pretty serious swearing, so steer clear if you are bothered by that sort of thing.

Slackerz- This comic has been brought into the spotlight by VGCats, and I absolutely love it. I cannot describe how hilarious this comic really is. The art style is fairly simple, yet stylized. This is actually one of the funniest comics I have read in awhile. If one of angry old people at the MPAA was to rate it in movie terms, I would have to say it would be rated R: For strong language, some violence.

Polkout- I have really been wondering about this one, just for the reason that it is highly offensive and rife with scatological humor. The art is pretty simple, borderline bad, but that has a certain charm to it. The humor comes from it’s offensive and twisted jokes. This is not a comic for the faint of heart, which gives it an almost South Park-ish like vibe. Be careful! Rated R: For Strong Language, Sexual Content, Cartoon Nudity, and general vulgarity.

Seriously. The Slackerz comic on CSI: Miami, (one of the worst shows on TV since Walker Texas Ranger) is quite a laugh if you are at all familiar with that show. I mean, I laugh when I watch the show, it’s so bad. Alright? This show is terrible.

So anyways, I am holed up in de hozpital for a few days, should be getting out over the weekend, and probably won’t be feeling at the top of my game. Never know. I will at least upload something unless something serious comes up.

See you in a week.
