Critical Miss: #30

[The Wooster]

Anyone else notice a nod or two to Scott Pilgrim.
Mainly in terms of the black boxes and the "thusly" joke which is directly from the comics.

I've been on quite the Scott Pilgrim binge lately, thanks mostly to the excellent game on PSN and XBLA that everyone should go buy right fucking now. I've yet to see the film. The black boxes are actually an old manga thing that's been around for years. I think I got it from a fairly bizzarre transgendered thing called 'NOBRA' which was actually suprisingly good.

As for this strip, it's basically one last opportunity for us to do some straight forward, good old fashioned violence before we start heading into drama country.

Valid Criticism

More food for thought: if she gets all her review scores in an envelope (as was established early on), how come she writes a column noted for its critical nature? Either she doesn't get to write what she wants or she does!

You may have also noticed that she hand one of her eyes ripped out two strips ago and a few strips before that she was a necromancer. Continuity is just another thing we suck at.

That being said, have a look at some of the writers on the Escapist, the vast majority of the staff who review games also have their own columns.

Does me knowing that moves input is Tagers "Emerald Tager Driver" from Blazblue make me a bad person?

I love this web comic...

Actually you're technically a good person. The input for Gigantic Tager Driver is actually 360 A Or B, not both at the same time. The move depicted is actually Zangief's Ex command throw from SF4.

Very confusing and i understood only half of it but funny nonetheless.

And thats how you cross the road.

Tune in next week when we show you how to tie your shoe.

[sub]That cop at the end confused me.[/sub]

 

[Evilsanta]

[Extreme Pajamas]

Throw reject miss! Nice little lesson in there too.

[duchaked]

[Gigaguy64]

Ohhh its a Zangief move.

I thought it was Alex's Hyper Bomb.

Have you noticed unlimited Makoto has Dudley's exact moveset? Made me giggle.

 

[Sir Kemper]

A new challenger appears!

....I need to change my pants...cause I just wet myself in laughter....brb....

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Christ, this cartoon is weird. Not quite as weird as Bumhug Parade, but still. Pretty fucking weird.

 

[Roamin11]

I love this week!! Four comics for the price of one!!

Don't let Ryu's shoelessness fool you; a properly-executed Shoryuken is VITAL in properly tying one's shoes.

Spoiler: Here, Fluffy demonstrates the correct form.

 

[Aptspire]

only one thing left to say:
WWWWWRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Watching someone pointlessly beating up an old woman made me laugh.

And for the deleted strips: What do you mean, bad? The second and third ones were hilarious!

 

[Blair Bennett]

I don't think there were near enough old ladies suplexed in this strip an- wait, Street Crossed Perfect? That's what I've been doing wrong?!

 

[HTID Raver]

hahaha that one strip with red steel had me laughing for a while! loved it!
