God, I wanted to do one SO BAD today. I wanted to post it in Kotaku's comments (everyone else seems to be posting their own comics/other comics they like on there), BUT ... I was shocked to see that the comics they posted today weren't horrible.
Now, don't get me wrong. They were all lame and a complete waste of everyone's time, BUT they weren't SOUL-CRUSHINGLY bad. Well, Ctrl+Alt+Del was pretty terrible, but that's a given at this point. Also that one with the weird .. dog/koala/demon people with pear shaped heads didn't really have a joke.
It was:
thing1: I want game product for game system x.
thing2: Okay, I will give you product *AND* game system x.
thing1: I just want product.
thing2: You sure?
THE END
So, eh, I don't know. I don't think I'll do one today. Maybe I'll look them over again later and realize I was completely wrong AND ALL THE WORLD'S WEBCOMICS MUST BE DESTROYED. But I'm not up to it at the moment.
Oh, yeah. Little Gamers is also pretty consistently terrible. I think they almost recycled their material (and ALL FIVE MILLION OTHER COMICS THAT DID "lol Final Fantasy is a long game" jokes from last week. Except without the dirty bearded man.
Have a look at the comics for yourself if you want.
Kotaku Sunday Comics
UPDATE: reading comments to Kotaku's Sunday Comics post .... a lot of people really really like some of those lame strips. I mean, they're hysterical to some of those people. HYSTERICAL. Click on that link above. How many times did you laugh or at least go, "yeah, I guess I could see someone somewhere who hasn't seen much comedy in their time laugh at this." HOW MANY TIMES?
Maybe I need to do a sunday comics thing after all ... still undecided ... don't get your hopes up.

ReplyDeleteYou know...after I called you about these comics and why you aren't doing them this week because they weren't "soul crushingly bad" I took a 4th look at these comics and they ARE JUST THAT BAD THIS WEEK!
let me give some examples....
PVPonline: SPEED RACIST!? really is what you find funny Scott R. Kurtz? Then here, I got a joke for ya, "Beethoven was a pianist. LOL RIGHT? cuz pianist sounds like PENIS!"
EXTRALIFE: I dunno what's harder to believe, the guy on the left or the supposed businessmen (briefcase) on the right wearing a "too much information" shirt. I must be out of the loop, apparently we now wear twitter shirts. Maybe I should go and buy a "Went to grocery store, only bought Top Ramen" shirt.
Ctrl Alt Del: oh wow, it's this joke again... Is anybody else kind of disturbed that the girl in these comics looks like a meat sack with boobs? Imagine that now... a meat sack with boobs, and there you have the girl from Ctrl Alt Del! BTW: miscarriage
Dueling Analogs: "all Japanese are sexual deviants!"
Little Gamers: Here is the same joke from last week re-worded. But don't worry! We DON'T have writers block!
I dunno about you Rick, but MY soul was crushed...
You are absolutely right. I looked at them again a few hours ago and went right to work. The first time I looked through them today, I wasn't really getting any ideas of how to work with them - how to extract anything from them. But NOW. Man. NOW. I'm putting it up right now.
ReplyDeleteExtralife's comic wasn't funny but its hyperbole (I hope i spelled that right, the literary device not the conic section) gone wrong. the left shirt is hyperbole, the left shirt is what belongs on a twitter post along with all the other thoughts i don't care about.
ReplyDeleteI mean the right shirt.
