Webcomic hosting
I honestly would go for the solidly trusted "just rent some hosting and use Comic Press for it". Most comic hosting services like Comic Genesis (formerly known as Keenspace) and Drunk Duck have terrible reputations and often require people to give up things like publishing rights for their own work (in other words, if you do use these, actually carefully read the terms of service). But don't take my word for it, I'm honestly not knowledgeable enough about hosting to really give an informed opinion. I suggest you ask around at Webcomics Community forums, which I believe is the leading source of free advice on webcomics since Webcomics Dot Com went behind a pay wall. As for transferring from paper, I'm a big fan of Tablets, even the cheap ones work great after a short learning curve (though I'd recommend Wacom because they're simply put better quality). I'm not a huge fan of scanning because most regular household scanners don't give enough quality for something like this, but you could always clean it up in photoshop (or digitally ink it).

Yahtzee reviews
His review for God of War 3 is up......... and not very funny. Had some good bits though.

Kung Fu Panda was pretty good as well, but I liked How To Train Your Dragon a lot more. I hope they make more of these things. I could do with less of their pop culture reference heavy shtick and have some actual story instead.

"How To Train Your Dragon", which was simply fantastic. Dreamworks' "hey, we can play in the big leagues too" moment. I've heard it called Pixar quality, but Pixar makes a different type of movie so I disagree, but it's definitely up there. A fantastic adventure film. It's also the best 3D has looked so far, actually knocking supposed game-changer Avatar off that throne faster than it got up there.

Theological question
Hm. Well, the problem I see is, if God can't mess with our free will at all, it kind of neuters him doesn't it? Most of the important events in human lives are caused by other humans.

Everyone leaves you hanging, but here: *high five* I have my own video game playing ladyfriend that I do, so yay for us.

Paying to play with girls
Well, it says "The GameCrush Public Beta is temporarily unavailable due to the incredible user response (more than 10,000 inquiries in five minutes)." So unless they're lying, I still think the world is that sad.

Paying to play with girls
And now the site is unavailable due to higher than expected amount of responses. Is the world really this sad?

No, I know, but considering I had joked about how that was the twist before the movie even started, I had decided to give it the benefit of the doubt.

The Flaming Lips - Best Band Ever or Just an Orgasm For Your Ears?
"Do You Realize?" is one of the highlights of modern music.

Shutter Island and Sherlock Holmes. Both of them were disappointing on account of how predictable they are. Sherlock Holmes, the greatest detective, should come up with things that leave me baffled, but I guess they thought audiences were idiots because the resolutions they came up with for all their questions were resolutions I had already written off as being too simple for a Sherlock Holmes story. Shutter Island was even worse, because at the end I found out that the twist I joked about when I saw the first TV Spot was the actual twist.

The Flaming Lips - Best Band Ever or Just an Orgasm For Your Ears?
Flaming Lips albums are the very definition of awkward pacing. I love most of their songs individually, but I can never get through an album without getting too bored to continue halfway. Play them on random and you're guaranteed to enjoy them more, despite the fact half of their stuff forms vague narratives about chinese girls and pink mechanical toys. A lot of people who like The Flaming Lips also dig The Decemberists, Beck or the Eels. I don't see the similarities, but it's a trend I've noticed.

Quotes you remember...
"The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it." - Terry Pratchett "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." - Douglas Adams (this in particular seems to have settled itself into my mind as somewhat of a motto) "There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened." - Also Douglas Adams "Events are cowards: they don't occur singly, but instead they run in packs and leap out at you all at once." - Neil Gaiman

Also, if I remember correctly Pyramid Head didn't appear until Silent Hill 2. Anyway, the film was decent and had some images that burned itself into my brain, but it has NOTHING on the second game, which lodged itself squarely into my subconscious and comes out to destroy me into a puddle of sweat that jumps out of bed in terror at least once per season.

Infinity Ward founders canned by Activision
Imagine the look on Kotick's face if the founders regained the Modern Warfare rights His shareholders would burn him at the stake. Less than he deserves Indeed, being tied to a piece of dead tree and burned alive is not nearly a bad enough punishment for being a bit of a douche and disrespecting people's creative control. Obviously, the death penalty is required. The man is, after all, obviously on a level with mass murderers and war criminals. tl;dr version: RAAAAARGH NERD RAGE STOODPID!

Infinity Ward founders canned by Activision
Wow. Looking into this matter some more, it might turn out that Activision had a perfectly legit reason for this, but I honestly don't care if they did because any bad press about this Kotick fella is good press.

Just out of curiosity, what were these supposed breaches of contract?

Ideas for future games
This wouldn't work unless you had a special mechanic. Because the character might not remember what he did, but the player will.
