So as Sokkratez knows, I have spent many a hour now watching and rewatching the episodes of a show called Kenny vs. Spenny. A show about 2 friends who grew up together but somehow have completely different morals, codes, ethics, blah blah blah. One is devious and one tends to attempt to take the high road. I remember seeing commercials for the shows premiere here and just thinking to myself man that doesn’t look like a show I’d like. Years later after trying not to ever come into a room where it was being watched, I gave it a try at a friend’s pad one night. I gotta say the show is really hilarious, and I loved just how evil Kenny is, he’s my kind of guy at times. Kenny seems to make the shows with his evil genius plans for Spenny domination in their sometimes twisted ideas for competitions, but the show wouldn’t be what it is without someone like Spenny either, it isn’t as fun to see a person with no self respect try to do what he does, its fun to see Kenny slowly chipping away at Spenny. So as I was saying I watched the show at a friend’s house and am now completely addicted. I got seasons 1-3 immediately from him and I just keep watching them over n over each night when there’s nothing good on television. I can’t wait to see the rest of season 4’s competitions with these two crazy canadians.

I felt it appropriate to share this here. If you remember back to yestermonth, I recommended that you guys check out Gish in one of my cheap gaming features. There is a sequel on the way, and today we have been blessed with some wireframe mesh physics footage of Gish 2. Enjoy, and check out Gish if you haven’t yet.

[PseudoKnight: It's my privilege to introduce a guest article in our cheap gaming series this week. Octeris is an acquaintance and fellow game connoisseur we met at myextralife.com. This independently created article shares the same passion we have for gaming, so when we asked Octeris if we could syndicate it here we were very happy he gave us permission. So, here is Octeris sharing a game that Sokkratez and I are currently enjoying.]

And neither is sanity! I won’t be having a cheap game post this week. Sorry about that. I was going crazy about finishing one of my classes over the weekend and on Monday, which is my usual preparation time for the features. My schedule was thrown off and I was tired of writing, so I’m going to delay it until next week. We’ve been keeping on track with the comics, though. Noct just put up a new episode of Nate, so check that out! Also, in case you may have missed any, check out some of my past features.

Forgiveness, please!

Gotta say, I thought I was completely over references to “that game”. It’s a fantastic game and all, but it has spawned way too many overly-used memes. Anyway, I was caught off guard when reading Shadowpact #23 just now and was met with a pleasant surprise; had to share.

I was playing Conan on my Xbox 360 today when suddenly my television began emitting startling noises. I grabbed my camera and documented the anomaly so that I could leave behind a clue in case I was about to be abducted by some unknown forces. Fortunately the crisis was averted by way of restarting my system. I remain un-probed, with my cranium intact and footage to share.

If you’re like me, you remember the simpler times. The times when right-click was bound to “jump” and not “turn gun sideways and shoot and somehow do more damage” (name that game!). Times when plot wasn’t as important as how many bad guys there were on the screen at once. When the quality of the blood spewing from aforementioned foes was even more important. If you, like me, remember these simpler times and think of them fondly, this week’s cheap game is for you.

This particular machinima short, recently released by Sam Goldwater of PolygonFiction, speaks [volumes] for itself. It seems fitting that it’d be posted here at DownloadableSuicide.

Yeah, so there will be no new Nate the necromancer comic this week. Why? Oh uhh… I’m uh neck deep in failed necromancy experiments of my own… No I’m just working on making the comic look better (or at least I hope its better). So instead of some lame filler comic that I couldn’t think of doing. I’ll be setting up a wallpaper featuring the new drawing style. The wallpaper features, Nate himself, combat boot fan Sean, the adorable and madly obsessed with the necro Jillian, and the recently zombified emo Allan. Just right click one of the links below and save as to download.

You may be expecting me to be talking about a new cheap game right now. Normally, that’s what I’d be doing. This week, I’m going to talk about some games that I’m looking forward to, and most of them won’t be cheap. These aren’t all of the games that I am looking forward to this year, but these are my most-wanted ones that aren’t the obvious picks. You won’t see Grand Theft Auto IV, Metal Gear Solid 4, Starcraft 2, Spore or Gears of War 2 in this post. Those are obvious; everybody cares about those. You have probably heard about these at some point, but there isn’t much new information floating around about them. In short, this is an awareness post.
