Clever. Also win.

 

[Something Amyss]

Okay, that was awesome.

I tried reading 1984 again, to see why I loved it so much.

And now i remember.

Because it fucking scared me to death. Nights have gone by sleeplessly, because I feared an other big Brother might take over.

God, it has made me shit my pants more than most horror stories.

This is the first of your comics that I actually didn't get. Can someone fill me in on the reference so I can go and enlighten myself?

It took me a second to get the last panel because I was trying to see the Skateboarder but now I realise how dumb that was.

OT: Wasn't the exact same plot of a game a while back but you were a rollerskating graffiti artist or some similar bullshit?

 

[GeorgW]

I'm actually reading 1984 right now, so this was especially fun!

poor Orwell, just another 720 and he'll unlock the special trick "come-back-from-death-and-murder-Shaun-White-and-the-developers-of-his-games"

still, pretty clever comic

Think it's the plot of alot of these games. Wasnt Skates story a bit like this? And Skate 2 was even moreso like it.

You're thinking of Marc Ecko's: Getting up, I believe. I think. It was similar yes but that was more about Graffiti, which has a much more credible link to revolution/dissent than skateboarding. It was nicely written too but even so it had a lot of product sponsorship which seemed at odds with the game's message. I'd certainly recomend it though.

The fact that Ecko himself is a raging goddamn assbox didn't help matters.

Just look up the dudes name. You'll see why he is turning in his grave.

OT: Another great read, I love these comics.

 

[The Wooster]

To be honest, I clicked my way here only because of the title, so I have to ask: Is this comic about that skateboarding game a parody of sorts or that truly is the premise of the game?

No seriously. You have to fight against the evils of the 'Ministry' which has outlawed fun and emotion. To do this you do rad tricks and sell Baconators.

I wish I was making that up.

If ever there was a title for a horrifying porno it is "Raging Goddamn Assbox"...

Good morning, gentle readers.

BWAHAHAHAHA No seriously thank you so much for making the George Orwell Joke XD

Gave me one hell of a laugh, 360 Spin all day in that grave

 

[dghjdgdjf]

I don't fully get it. Because George Orwell was against autocracy and democratic socialism, he is turning in his grave?

 

[Irridium]

"assbox"

hehe

OT: That has always bugged me. If your against "establishment" and whatnot, why do you still buy certain boards/clothes/music? Aren't they still part of some corp or something that your trying to take down?

*sigh* silly children. Fighting the machine by buying things from different parts of the machine.

It really is a horror story, regardless of what else it is.

Few people who try and capture the elements of an Orwellian future successfully do so.

poor Orwell, just another 720 and he'll unlock the special trick "come-back-from-death-and-murder-Shaun-White-and-the-developers-of-his-games"

still, pretty clever comic

How do I learn this trick?

 

[Outright Villainy]

I think a game would have to try to have a story this stupid.

Great comic, anyway!

So where is the snow again? I thought Shaun White was a snowboarder. I mean I know he can dabble in skateboarding, I get that. I know he is more than a 1 dimentional snowboarder and probably enjoys many things. But didn't he win the gold medal in snowboarding?

I mean you don't see Kurt Angle MMA or Misty May Tennis.

 

[standokan]

That's exactly like the blob, a game about a blob who needs save the world be colouring it.
