Sorry, I don't get the last frame. Is that cupcake article what he wrote or something he just went onto afterwards (to symbolise the irony that he's just written an amazing 40K word exposition and then completely backslid into a ridiculous article on cupcakes).

I'm stupid.

 

[Guffe]

is this supposed to be dr. Mark?
Also shows what's important on the Internet xD

Yeah typing on a keyboard with no keys would be a pretty big step back

The keyboard has only two keys, each for an automated response. The big one is "Rant", and the little one is "Moan". Hit those a couple times and you've got a genuine gaming article.

Perhaps it's what he was instructed to write?

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

The text of the article is pretty funny lol.

 

[Rip Van Rabbit]

I smiled.
However, I'm not sure why.

I didn't quite get it, did he write the cupcake article or did he switch over to it for the sake of irony?

Why did I smile at this!?

[small]oh god, this is how it starts...hold me ;_;[/small]

Am I the only one that was kind of hoping that the Fake Gamer Girls thing would continue? I kinda wanted to see where that one could go.

But to answer your question, I am quite interested in where [ninja]Fake Gamer Girls goes.

I figured it was because he wrote a whole new standard for gaming journalism, and despite all the effort and his high hopes, the 'Top 5 Gaming Cupcakes' still made it onto his recommended list.

Thanks, that actually makes a lot more sense.

Now I feel like a stupid-head-dummy-butt

I caught this as a reference to Kotaku's statement that the whole "DoritoGate" (silly name, seriously) and following discussion about ethics in gaming journalism was "interesting but not worth reporting about" while at the same time uploading an "unboxing of Halo 4 special edition"-video.

As far as I understood the punchline, he wrote this masterpiece article on ethics in gaming journalism, but the editor decided to publish someone else's article about gaming cupcakes instead.

Once again the joke or point of the comic goes right over my head.

Does someone have to be a specialist of some sort to get this kind of Critical Miss joke?

It seems like 2 or 3 out of each month's 8 strips has a number of us scratching our heads and wondering what the hell Grey's on about this time.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Um...... I don't get it. What's the joke here?

 

[Pyrian]

Forget the main joke, zoom in on the cupcake article. That's funny.

 

[OfficialJab]

Oh Kotaku is just having a good time, leave em alone.

Question, does the second to last line of the top five gaming cupcakes say "So, cupcakes that partake in anal sex" or am I being an idiot?
