• Mr. Bling-Bling's Cash Money

  [[Matt and Ian are on-stage, and Ian's cat is on his head. Matt is standing behind a podium with "Mac Hall" written on it, and Ian is beside him pressing a switch.]] Matt: We at Mac Hall would like to clear up some of the rumors surrounding yesterday's link to our site by the popular Penny Arcade. The link was given in good faith by Tycho and at no time was any impropriety involved. <<--click-->> [[Scene changes to reveal Gabe and Tycho from Penny Arcade holding sacks of money.]] Matt: For instance, Gabe and Tycho were not paid off by us. Especially not with hefty sacks of cash. That rumor is totally untrue. [[Scene changes again to Meg Sagi holding onto a rope attached to a helicopter. She is also holding some money.]] Matt: Furthermore, it is also untrue that PVC-clad agent Meg Sagi was dispatched to Seattle to butter up to Tycho by wining and dining both him and his wife. [[Scene changes back to Ian and Matt.]] Ian: In reality, she was probably wearing regular pants at the time.

• If we went to MWNY

  If We Went To Mac World New York 2002 Anthony would stalk booth to booth collecting the heads of developers who failed to port their games to the Mac... He's weird like that. [[A grinning Anthony holds a blue lightsaber and a large bag over his shoulder while two developers hide behind an overturned table.]] Developer 1: Shit! He just took out the Sierra booth and he's coming this way!! Developer 2: ..Promotional items! I repeat we need more free promotional items to distract him with! Ian of course would spend the entire after show boat party trying to convince Matt Soell to hire him as an intern. Ian: Come on, this would be my dream job to work at Bungie! I do this kind of stuff in my FREE time. Matt Soell: So you'd work for free? Ian: Um, I guess so... Matt Soell: Okay, you're hired. Ian: REALLY?!? Matt Soell: Your first duty will be to stay exactly 5 miles away from me at all times. Ian: But we're in the middle of the New York harbor... Matt Soell: Here's a spoon, you better start paddling, art boy. Finally, Cthulhu would swallow a 1d10 people every round. <<Munch munch>>

• Fan Service My Ass

  [[Matt and Ian sitting infront of a computer]] Matt: Hey Ian, I've got a great idea for increasing our readership. Ian: What's that?

What are the top three search engine entries that lead people to the site? Mike: "Free comix porn digimon," "Digimon sex toon" and "Free digimon porn" Matt: What, really?

• The Slack-Zone

  Ian: Hello, and welcome to the Slack-Zone. Ian: It is often asked what Matt does for this comic. Sure his name is on the bottom of each, but what would "Mac Hall" be without him? Ian: In today's installment of the Slack-Zone, I'd like to answer that. Ian: Let's look at another universe parallel to our own where when comic #110 was made, Matt was not writing the scripts. Helen: Jason? Jason: You were...You were... Helen: Playing Risk? Jason: What? Voice off screen: We have to lock Drew out because whenever he loses he yells, "Blitzkrieg" and sweeps all the pieces off the board. Drew: Moo! Jason: Your soul is mine! Die, solo-plast! Helen: Well... Drew: E monkey por coffee in my boots!! Jason: Scoot-scootsie. [[Drew punches Jason with a banana on his fist, Jason becomes flaming skeleton]] Drew: Disco-Drew wins! {{"Banana-ality" written in red, bloody like letters in between the previous panel and the next one.}} Ian: And now you know. Matt: Actually, I kinda liked that one.
