But I'm pretty damn sure there is absolutely no punchline to Ctrl Alt Del. Does this guy even know how to write? I'm serious, not trying to be incredibly insulting, (but I guess I am) but this guy really doesn't seem to get it. It's unnecessarily wordy, and it's trying to have a plot, which is stupid for a short web comic. And does it even have anything to do with gaming any more? Jeez.

Also (freaking broken edit button D: ) here's a great one.

Kotaku? It's a site about gaming, for the most part.
It is not a site about ridiculously poorly written drama.
So why, despite all the weekly complaints, despite the complete irrelevancy to the site, despite the abysmal brain-melting terribadness of Ctrl-Alt-Del, is it still put up weekly, despite NEVER BEING ABOUT GAMES?

Much better than "This is a terrible comic"

Ethan and Lucas don't even talk about games anymore, so the closest thing to gaming present in the comics is:
-Ethan works/owns a game store, though games aren't really mentioned that much. Doesn't count.
-That Rob guy who works there still talks about Counter-Strike all the time, as if we were still in the days where CS is only a few years old and that kind of guy even exists anywhere in the world. A tired joke that somehow still lives on: doesn't count.
-Lilah is a pro gamer, but this could really be ANY job, because it only comes up if Buckley wants to have some weird power struggle where Ethan is insecure about her being the breadwinner or something. Doesn't count.
-Come to think of it, you pretty much would never guess that Lucas even plays games, because I can't recall the last time his character even talked about them. Obviously doesn't count.
-Then there's Zeke, the shameless ripoff of HK-47 from Knights of the Old Republic, who is technically an Xbox. Doesn't count.
Which leaves the completely unrelated strips that don't feature of the characters and are actually about gaming. And the "sillies", which are essentially the same thing, only with more phoned-in art.
So yeah, if he cut out the whole "characters" and "storyline" thing, then at least his comic could actually be called a gaming comic, though that still wouldn't guarantee that it was actually any good.

You tell me which of those comics seems to have the slightest concept of how to tell a joke.

And I actually liked PvP's "The Incident" series this week. Gave me a big chuckle from my otherwise depressing days. DotGif was pretty funny... And YEAAAAAAAAAH, 2PStart is back, baby! (But where's GG Guys?)
Other than that, though, I think THIS will be Ronald Emmerich's next movie plot, hon...

@(Starman) Starman: And for the Ronald Emmerich plot...
LAVA TORNAAAADO!!!

That was AWESOME. The theme song just complemented the comic, thanks so much for sharing that.
(And once again, I smiled at the EarthBound references and the MegaMan ones...)

I just shedded the manliest tears of my life.

That was absolutely incredible. Honestly, one of the best comics I've seen online.
11/22/09
And still be far less awesome than this.

Oh man, that just simply kicked the ass of everything shown above combined!

Never drink the kool aid y'all..never.
Action trip and oddly enough, I lol'd at GU this week. But it was a sad lol...
I mean, how are the flies saying next surviving the bug zapper when they're on it?
And CAD....I....just don't get it.

PvP's The Incident Series was pretty funny this week, but you should start from the beginning in order to get it: [www.pvponline.com]
But hey' I'm just happy 2PStart! is back! ^-^

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
