I mean, it describes the way Excitebike is played in a non-humorous manner. Like, that's actually how you play the game. You could probably make a similar flowchart for most other early-era NES or Atari games.
Now the Ken flowchart? That shit's funny for the same reason that MNC's comic isn't. #sundaycomics

Along with the Modern Warfare 2 one, made me laugh even with the predictability.
But honestly, Dueling Analogs' joke could have done better.
And what happened to GG Guys or 2PStart? #sundaycomics
09:45 AM
That's it!
There's nothing interesting to comment about this week... #sundaycomics

Yea it does, but the point got across at least :O #sundaycomics

GU was good (though, as others have said, poorly drawn), PA, the Excitebike flowchart, PvP (if only for the very last line), even Virtual Shackles. Sigh. It talkes all kinds, I guess. :-P #sundaycomics

It's not game related, but the jokes aren't too bad. #sundaycomics

You are kidding right? #sundaycomics

And PvP hit FAR too close to home for me. I'm only 25 years old!! I'm not old yet!!
.....yet....

Yes, PvP always is tops with me. Man, you know you're too old when you say "tops". #sundaycomics
09:19 AM
I know but I feel so bad when I see a hot guy or girl and then discover that they're like...16.
I feel old.
Then again...I like getting asked for my ID whenever I buy a drink or violent game. #sundaycomics
09:22 AM
LOL! You thought I was 14? OMG...no wai.
Nope, 25, I feel older but I'm not...I feel old about games when I mention the PS when everyone says the PSone.
:sobs: #sundaycomics
09:24 AM
Can't even spell 'the' right. Its T. H. E. how hard can that be. 3 freakin' letters.
But they are right. Their games are shit. With them fancy graphX saying how its so 'real'.
Back in my day, we didn't need no fancy pictures. All we got was a block! That was you!
Can't see it?
Cause you ain't usin' your mind, son. Imagination. Thats what these youngins are lacking. Thing between the ears... #sundaycomics
09:24 AM
25 is a great age, man. I'm going to keep gaming till I'm in my 60's, rock banding retirement homes till the crows come home. #sundaycomics
09:34 AM
LOL! Damn l33t speak and texting jargon. I only know like the basics...
Dude, back in the day...you didn't have game endings, you had a 'Thanks for Playing' or a High Score screen.
Back then...we anit have fancy 15 minute endings...you beat the game and MAYBE you would get a awesome pixel portrait of your character being awesome. MAYBE...
Then again, back in the day...games were made out of rocks and sticks....maybe some superglue and waffles. #sundaycomics
09:36 AM
LOL! I see, no offense taken...I'm flattered.
I haven't been 14 since 1998.
No, I love being 25...you're old but not too old, just enough. Dude I'll be gaming until my eyes finally give out, I love it too much to stop. #sundaycomics

And then get on top of him and yell out:
"You see these fists!? These are FISTS.... of a GAMER!!!!" #sundaycomics

It kinda happened like this, I was in Gamestop and I was talking to the clerk, I preordered something on the PS3 because it's the system I own. Then this 360 gamer came up behind me and started fanboying.
Be in mind, I don't hate any system....you can own 360, Wii whatever. All I ask is that you be respectful.
Well, he started laying in on me, even the clerk asked him to chillax but he wouldn't stop. He started talking about 'You're a girl and you don't know nothing about gaming, real gamers have XXXX and this, how he started playing real games on the PSone, Dreamcast wasn't shit etc...'
I turned to him and looked at him...then he flicked my Cloudy wolf button. Which was on my chest... so I socked him in the lip.
He laid there on the floor for a moment, sorta shocked...then I retorted with 'Stop being a tool little boy. You bore me.' Then I laughed like Iori from King of Fighters and
walked out.
I deplore violence. I'm really a peaceful girl....
11:09 AM
21 and feeling increasingly sexy, baby! #sundaycomics
12:04 PM
Though I do admit that I found it amusing. Should've asked the clerk for the security-footage so that you could relive the moment. #sundaycomics

Good to know there are secrets in this one. #newsupermariobroswii

Wait, that doesn't sound... #newsupermariobroswii

World 2-5. A quarter of the game shouldn't be a walk in the park. a short walk. #newsupermariobroswii

11/14/09
They aren't super difficult, but they aren't super short. Check out mario world, some of the first ten to fifteen levels are kinda hefty and have a lot of stuff to them. #newsupermariobroswii

Actually, looks like you can just run jump or helicopter past most everything. #newsupermariobroswii

Those aren't going to add a whole lot of difficulty it seems in these early quarter levels, and as we all saw in the video now lives are not something you need to worry about. I really REALLY don't want this to be like NSMB DS. #newsupermariobroswii
11/14/09
Then again, look at how the chaos pretty much killed off Yellow Toad from the very beginning. "Someone happened to push me into a Goomba!" #newsupermariobroswii
11/14/09
The difficulty shouldn't come from multiplayer chaos though. That's fine and dandy for LOL DAVE IMMA THROW YOU INTO THE LAVA, but in single player that's not gonna happen.
And yeah, 1ups used to mean something. #newsupermariobroswii
11/14/09
If it's anything like the DS game, I think more people are going to lose lives to obtain Star Coins and the secrets in levels. #newsupermariobroswii
11/14/09
Which isn't the way it should be happening primarily. If the vast majority of the times you die is because you have to try some stunt, well, not doing it right. #newsupermariobroswii
11/14/09
Then again, you never know what the game might pull. With how much I'm talking about what could be in the game, I wish I had the game. :( #newsupermariobroswii
11/14/09
Yeah, it should be ahrder later on, but I am getting very worried when the first quarter of the game has super short easy levels towards the end of it. No diea if those continue either. I need to know this because I don't want to buy NSMB DS again. #newsupermariobroswii

It appears we forgot to devolve this into a shouting match. How embarrassing. #newsupermariobroswii

Sarcastic and patronizing yet non-offensive.. i like your style #newsupermariobroswii

Okay, all of you people that attack anyone that even says anything that seems to be even a little against anything in this game, this is your cue!
Why did it have to show exactly how to do it in an exact level pulled from the game? Why not have a standard level and have text boxes saying, 'The Multi-Ground Pound will turn enemies into points! If you have enough enemies on screen, you can get extra lives, like this!' Then it could show Mario and Luigi and a Toad freezing some enemies and ground-pounding them as an example. This video takes the thrill of discovery out of that level. Rather than the user looking at the situation (with the many multiple enemies) and thinking, 'hey, maybe we could get some lives out of this!' the user instead goes 'hey, this is the exact spot that one tutorial video showed!'
You know what, I'll post this comment just so people can be mad. Screw trying to have a conversation. Just get mad, people. #newsupermariobroswii

Plus it's completely voluntary, so I doubt spoiling it will kill anyone's holiday. #newsupermariobroswii

The thing is that Mario is a casual family game, can't see the "hardcore" type player running for these video or super guide. But for children or even older parents, this is good stuff.
Considering that gamers regardless of this feature would have just posted numerous youtube videos on this game, this is pretty much just convenience at best. #newsupermariobroswii
11/14/09
@vid3oman64: RAGE!
Anyway, it's possibly because there's more levels that feature the same situation. Maybe the video only offers one example of an actual level featured in the game to give the revelation of what could have been done in the given scenario and how having multiple players can benefit you throughout the levels previously traversed.
You'll still have your "thrill" from discovering all the other possibilities in the game, heaven forbid they showed one actual level. They could have made a make-believe world for this hints, but is it that much of a problem to see hints from actual levels? #newsupermariobroswii

What, no Super Mario Shasta? Where's the Mario Punch, the Luigi Berry?!
They're all saying "look inside" because there was something printed on the bottom of the inside of the can. I forget what, maybe a contest or something (this was, like, fifteen years ago), but if you're that curious you can probably find some empty cans on eBay.

Sorry to hear that. But at least you have your copy of MW2 now. That will at least tie you over the next three-ish days? #newsupermariobroswii
