Peter: What's with the "Rocky" music? Jason: I'm in training. "Heart of the Swarm" goes on sale this week. Peter: Is that the Starcraft expansion? Jason: Yeah, I really want to hit the ground running on Tuesday when it comes out. I've got the new hotkeys memorized, charts and graphs for every conceivable build order, my apm is somewhere between Swedish and Korean, and for the games where I lose, I've come up with some seriously BM rageout moves. Peter: You do realize you're speaking gibberish? Jason: Hey, can you help me practice this one thing? It's actually super important. Peter: I'm horrible at Starcraft. Jason: That's ok, just read what's on this card over and over. Peter: No, you can't have $40 for a video game. Jason: Mommm, pleeease? Peter: No, you can't have $40 for a video game. Jason: Mommm. pleeease? Peter: No, you can't - Jason: Now start getting angrier.

Incredible how we all know gibberish, eh! I wonder if it is PS3 or 360 or PC. More texting shorties

Starcraft is a Blizzard franchise that runs on PC and Mac. Personally, I hate it. The characters use the worst language imaginable. It gets real old, real fast. Clearly the game is targeted toward 12 year old potty-mouths.

Maybe I’m used to Jason because I’ve read the strip for years (before it was Sunday-only). Yet, I find him much less annoying that that Caufield kid from Frazz. Yet they both have the need to show off their intelligence.

since the expansion is debuting this tuesday, that might be an opportune time for north korea to launch their attack on the south….

Not true…Bart and Lisa Simpson were created in 1987, but this strip started in 1988.

Maybe Jason can convince his mother to think Zerglings are cute.

As I explained it to my parents: The coffee you enjoy for about 10 minutes every morning is costing you $1.75 every day. The cable TV you enjoy for an hour or less every day is costing you just over $2 a day. The games that I am enjoying for 2-3 hours every day is costing me less than $0.50 a day. It is NOT an expensive habit
