i lol'd hard at the comic, but please stop drawing yourself with massive muttonchops, its distracting
hah! i dont post on official forums any how. Never saw a reason as its always more lame than ones from the player community 
I'm liking this comic more and more.
My boyfriend actually gets this already. He seems to have a hard time choosing names that can't be construed as feminine. One of his characters can be shortened to Ella, while the other is just Jaimee (his name is Jamie, short for James, but it was taken already, and he'd never heard of Jaimee as a girl's name). Poor guy.

Ok, that one needed one more panel... or one less. In fact, I would have called it a winner without the last panel. The player's response in a panel all to itself was really not required.
Overall, I liked it though. Definitely in the better half of the series so far.

No. Just no. If you're going to make fun of a guy for having a girl's name, after Evil Dead it can no longer be Ashley. That name is now awesome. This is twice now that you've insulted Ashley J. Williams by proxy and I won't take any more of it.
You know, I prefer this comic when it's more about Erin and her weird workplace. That's not to say the game gags are bad, or that there shouldn't be any, but there are SO MANY comics out there that do nothing but make jokes about gaming or games themselves that it's really hard to stand out. I thought the concept of Erin reviewing games in a place with a bear and OH GOD ITS THE GIRL FROM THE GRUDGE was more interesting personally, and left a lot more room for interest beyond just repeating silly aspects of gaming culture or news at me. Just my two cents!

That's a fair point. Sadly whenever we do a pure character strip people come in and say the exacty opposite, that we should stick to gaming gags.
Generally we just try to hit on what we see as important news. The whole Real Id thing seemed like it was going to be the herald of a total shift in the way we use the net. Using anonymity to get away with being rude is one of the founding freedoms of the internet.
I also really like those heckling fucking Murlocks.
You can't please all of the people all the time, nor should you try.Grey Carter said:
I wasn't saying I disliked topical comics, so I hope I wasn't coming across as overly negative!There's just a certain trainwreck of a webcomic out there about gaming journalism I hate already, so I was glad to see one I think is actually funny and unique.
