"It's funny that you called us cry babies, because all you do is complain. Even though you haven't been a problem at all for years, I'm just bitter that I'm the new massassi troll and everyone hates me instead of you. lol, irony. I'm so witty."
Penny-Arcade
VG Cats
Ctrl+Alt+Del
Those three comics are popular for a reason. They are all funny. Not 1% funny, sometimes...sorta...maybe. Funny. If they weren't funny, they wouldn't be popular.
Then again, funny is an opinion. Humorous is not. You can disagree with me when I say that PA, CAD, and VGC are funny, but you can't argue with me when I say they are all humorous. So to avoid any argument, I'll just say this:
Penny-Arcade, VG Cats, and Ctrl+Alt+Del are all humorous comics.
My brother went to Digital Overload and met Tim (Absath). He said he's a really down to earth, cool guy. So far, everyone I've talked to that has met Tim hasn't said anything bad about him. So, maybe it's just you. As for CAD being 'lame wannabe gamer humor', that's your opinion and that's cool, but don't tell people that what they enjoy is infact lame humor.[/QUOTE]
It IS lame humor. CAD really isn't laugh out loud funny like PA is. It's a chuckle here and there funny. The main thing it has going for it is its storyline, which they've been recycling for a good year now. Nothing really interesting or new has happened save the move since I caught up to the comic around a year ago.
Read the earlier stuff from CAD and it's GREAT. The new stuff isn't. It appeals to the gamer who says he's got a 3.6ghz computer that can whoop up on yours and watches Pure Pwnage so he totally r0xx0rz lolz kthx. PA appeals to the more intelligent gamers sometimes, most of the times it just has awesome humor from Jerry and Mike's twisted, but beautifully well-cultured minds, and it happens to do with games most of the time. PA could easily be a political comic if that's what the center of Jerry and Mike's lives were. CAD could never be anything more than a quasi-humorous, slightly story-oriented gaming comic.
Also, Absath's forums used to be hell to post on, and any post that said anything bad about the comic or Absath would be deleted. Even remotely. He may be a "cool down to earth guy", but he sucks as a forum admin. I also hear he's a dick to Mike and Jerry, but that's from rather biased hearsay from a friend who would kill anyone who says PA isn't their type of comic.
And I'm not "the new forum troll"--I've never acted any differently than I do right now. If I'm a "troll", I've been one for years, but by definition I'm not a troll--just the devil's advocate. Imsoshort, SF_Gold, and people like Freelancer are trolls. But hey, at least I don't have a reputation of being a stupid "OMG ADMINS HEY STUFF SUCKS" screaming little kid, and at least I have the balls to put what I said out for everyone to read, instead of keeping it so "cleverly hidden" in spoiler tags.
