I was reading over MMORPG.Com, as I tend to do, and stumbled over an Article about this game I'd never heard of before: Redmoon.
Now, apparently this game had been hacked. Usually, I would let that go. But, in reading the forums, I found a track record of security woes for this game. It seems in Redmoon accounts get been hacked more often than a camp-dwelling bunch of 20-somethings in a B-Movie horror flick. In other words... like... a LOT.
Okay okay, so that's not entirely true, but it does seem to have a horrible problem with security holes in the system. And by the looks of it they're in desperate need of some server viagra. They can't seem to keep 'em up.
At any rate, after reading the boards a bit, sifting through the angst and frustration to see the core issues, I thought maybe I'd let Ted have some fun in the strip at JC Entertainment's expense.
So yeah, the "joke" is that the servers are easier to hack than a box of cereal.
Whether that's true or not I can't really attest to, since I hadn't even HEARD of this game until yesterday; but, the forums speak volumes.

Now, for those of you curious, the shirt I'm wearing in today's comic, is straight up highjacked from Spit Reason. It's the Linux Penguin dressed like Uma, with the words Kill Bill under him. Oh sweet sweet double entendre. It's beautiful Probably one of the best shirts I've ever seen.
And Ted is wearing a shirt with the power button symbol on it, as per the goods over at our friend Fricka's OffLine T-Shirts.
Thought I'd add all that into the post here since you guys seem to enjoy this kind of info about the panels.
