Wow, Breen's actually a pretty decent comedian. Who'd a thought it?
I wish that club existed in real life. I'd be there like a shot. Breen, Zoey and Audiosurf? Hell yes!

The only thing worse than being a lemming is being the very last lemming to fling yourself off the cliff, two years after everyone else.

Oh I'm sorry Alan, that costs you 20 points [http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/lemmings.asp]

The "servers are down" joke made me giggle.

 

[Susan Arendt]

I would totally go to that comedy club. I really, really would.

 

[Spectere]

Honestly, given the way things have been going in WoW lately, I think saying that "the instances are down" would be far more appropriate than "the servers are down."

Still, very funny comic. ;D

 

[RebelRising]

Just when you thought Breen couldn't get any more awesome...

 

[HobbesMkii]

What I really like about this comic is not only is it hilariously cynic, but it does so while doing a perfect mimic of one of those late night TV shows. The opening panel totally looks like it belongs to Conan or something (except for the monstrous Citadel standing in the middle of it).

 

[paketep]

Fantastic comic, Shamus, you should record a few and put yourself on YouTube... or The Escapist

Gotta agree with the Microsoft / Blizzard comparison. Who'd thought 5 years ago that I'd ever lose my faith in Blizzard. Pardo and everybody else pushing this idiotic ideas need to go form a company with Bill Roper and create Hellgate: Seattle or whatever, and leave our LANs alone.

I wonder what Zoey's act is......

 

[Bobbyskizza]

I wonder what Zoey's act is......

juggling severed zombie heads?

 

[Doug]

Hehe, nice one. But now I feel said we'll never get a show/club/bar like that. Gamers, UNITE! And built a club house!

 

[LeeshaJoy]

Can we trade out the show's host for someone who's not a traitorous dickweed?

 

[Kollega]

Nice. This one's very good,made me laugh out loud. I hope it becomes a regular feature.

 

[RogueDarkJedi]

That first panel could make a good wallpaper.

That might not be a mistake if Shamus was referring to lemmings from the Lemmings games, as they would just blithely walk forward off of cliffs if you didn't stop them somehow, unlike real lemmings.

"Zoey, You know we're eager to hear about the band's new tour, but I have to ask about the rumor of nude photo's popping up on the internet."

"Well, Wallace, I was very young and easily manipulated. I trusted Bill as much as anyone would trust a father figue, considering that father had been living in a cardboard box for the last 2 years..."

 

[Geamo]

Hell, i'd love to go to a gaming-centered comedy club like that. I'd be there in a shot.

After Curfew With Wallace Breen is filmed in the historic Citizen's Informational Film Production Site on the 87th level of The Citadel in City 17. The studio has seating for 100 volunteer audience participants who are carefully screened for maximum edification from administrator Breen's messages. It is filmed and aired on an irregular schedule, coinciding with restructuring of food rations or servicing of the suppression field. John Smith, writer for The Combine Representative calls it "The most entertaining hour of television approved by the combine for citizen consumption."
