MGS4 added.

I haven't played MGS4, and I fought myself to not buy it, but I'm surprised that he bashed it so much. I was expecting a high review for this one, and I must say I'm pleased to see the bashing. Hopefully Ninja2 is next week.

Webcomics - with special CAD bashing

Groucho 07-02-08 01:07 PM

Wow, that was great. I wish he'd taken a few more swipes at PA, though, in particular regarding that new game of theirs.

Michael Corvin 07-02-08 01:37 PM

Great as usual.

UncleGramps 07-02-08 03:02 PM

Anything that mocks CAD is good in my book. I've never understood the appeal of that comic.

xmiyux 07-02-08 03:05 PM

What is CAD? Did i miss something in this episode?

You're dead to me.

UncleGramps 07-02-08 03:09 PM

Ctrl-Alt-Delete, a gaming-oriented webcomic. They did a miscarriage story arc recently. It's fairly popular, but like Penny Arcade it's also pretty divisive.

I can live with that! I've given it plenty of chances and just haven't found it to be funny. Humor is pretty subjective, after all. :shrug:

Groucho 07-02-08 03:19 PM

CAD and PA and pretty much in the same category for me. There's the occasional stand alone strip mocking one game or another that's pretty good, but the non-gaming strips & story arc stuff (especially when they get serious) I could care less about.

That was really funny. I like when he does videos on other things besides reviewing games.

xmiyux 07-02-08 04:23 PM

I've never been a fan of Ctrl-Alt-Del either (i had also never seen it referred to as CAD). Penny Arcade on the other hand i am a total sucker for. I have bought all the books, read the comics, and even enjoyed the game. :lol:

I think the Penny Arcade guys themselves are pretty great ambassadors for "gamers". They do a lot of cool stuff, especially the charity they started. So they get a pass in my book. But I almost never find their strip funny.

I don't know what the deal is with the CAD stuff, but it seems like it might be the creator reacting to something in his or her personal life? Just reading a few of the strips, it seems pretty decent (and yes I did like Luann, problem?, so it might be up my alley). I think I might give it a try.

lordzeppelin 07-03-08 07:36 PM

Cyanide and Happiness pissed on the CAD stip as well...

pinata242 07-03-08 09:32 PM

I'm a fan of CAD and I actually appreciated the pregnancy turn and was surprised by the miscarriage twist (great single strip, btw). I hope they don't end it there. I like my entertainment with meaning sometimes.

I did assume it was from personal experience. Hey, when Ethan had that tiny 360 controller, how could it not warm your heart? And subsequently when he put it away after the incident... There can be more than jokes in these 4 panels.

Alone in the Dark

Cock-Up Peninsula :lol:

discostu1337 07-16-08 01:05 PM

yeah, i managed to beat Alone in the Dark but it was pretty poor in some areas. It's not the worst game out there, but the terrible story doesn't even make the poor gameplay worthwhile.

HydroX2 07-17-08 06:16 PM

Alone in the Dark is one of the worst games ive ever played, gotta agree with him. Funny review as always.

dvdsteve2000 07-23-08 02:46 PM

Age of Conan

jdpatri 07-24-08 08:17 AM

Alone in the Dark --> classic Zero rampage against all that is unholy.
