The Official Archives of Red Ring of Death, the most influential gaming webcomic of 2006, written and created by Shawn Tuckley.

Another victim of Shawn’s wit thoroughly destroyed.
Catching up on notorious lawyer Jack Thompson after he was murdered in RRoD #26, a really nice bit of continuity here!
