I believe there was at least one that was part of some subscribers-only deal he had going pre-assetbar, in which Beef and Showbiz each get inappropriate presents (Showbiz gets a computer) and Beef buys Showbiz's computer then writes a code in BASIC (or some other computer code) to get it to have a pleasant conversation with him

If I want to read the subscription archive, I'm pretty much hosed, right?

In the regular archive Beef has talked about his childhood with Showbiz a fair few times, but we've never actually seen it depicted to my remembrance.

Like Jerusalem said, it was in the old Serializer.net archive ( Maybe still is?) and thus it "shouldn't" be posted. (Jerusalem did you ever do a let's play for GTAIV) I'd post it 'ironically' but I have all of the serializer stuff in an old IDE HDD I just don't want to buy an enclosure for. Maybe it is time, unless some other goon posts it. EDIT: changed some punctuation to clarify Zefiel fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Feb 27, 2012 |

Zefiel posted:(Jerusalem did you ever do a let's play for GTAIV) Nope, I enjoyed the game but it didn't grab me like San Andreas did. I re-read the Wedding Arc today and was kind of shocked at just how long ago it happened (2008). I absolutely love the way the characters pick up on the fact their relatives are in town by reading the police blotter. Particularly this one about going home to focus on grades "immediately"

Let's not forget this tired old Internet favorite.  My favorite part of the police blotter is how wildly the content varied for each paper. The highlights of the blotter in the fancy suburb where my cousins lived was, "a resident called to report that his neighbor's trash cans were rolling around in the street." Whereas my city had fun ones like, "school officials request police assistant after a student suspected of carrying drugs put something down his pants while in the prinicpal's office," police responded to an incident involving two students, a ping pong paddle, and a trip to the hospital, or the kid next door shooting my three-year-old (at the time) brother in the face with a marshmallow fired from a wrist rocket. Yes, it was only a marshmallow, but WTF? Also, we only had three ping pong paddles in gym class for the rest of the year.

My favorite police blotter entry of all time, from our rural newspaper, was "Officers responded to reports of a cat walking down Elm Street with a dog food can on its head. Cat was gone by the time officers arrived."

This pretty much. Whenever something weird or seedy or downright unseemly happens in the US, by and large most people's first intuition is that it happened in Florida. And they're not often wrong.

Jet Jaguar posted:For a recent example: a woman in Florida just burned down a 3500-year-old tree by smoking meth inside it. There was a brief tangent in the Doctor Who thread where US goons expressed at the Doctor referring to some wondrous place as "Space Florida", with the Britgoons explaining that Florida is often viewed in the UK as a wonderful vacation place (having earned this distinction by virtue of being the exact opposite of the UK in regards to weather). Most of the US goons chuckled politely in response, with visions of stories just like the above dancing in their heads.

Reading a strip from this arc reminds me of my first archive binge through Achewood. It was this strip where I realized just how amazing Achewood was, and it was followed up shortly by these two similarly great strips, which really made me committed to reading the whole thing.
