Shouldn't the tombstone read "Eric Arthur Blair?"
Sorry, that was the pedant in me.
This is more like how you can't throw the branded Pepsi machines in Bionic Commando. i.e. crappy.

Haha, nice comic, I wondered if you were taking the piss of the game but apparently it's actually like that ><
Oh and you get bonus points for including The xx. I admit that one of the main reasons I like this comic is because of the song references at the end of each one

So let me get this straight: it takes the lame overall premise of Aerosmith's Revolution X, but instead of fighting oppression by flinging bullets and CDs, you hock Baconators with the Flying Tomato?
There's this small, aching twinge somewhere deep within my soul.

Very good idea to place the "Yes. We know." comment on that last panel to cut off a flood of smug posts about the tombstone.
George Orwell's 1984. One of the most thought-provoking books ever written, it concerns a totalitarian state in 1984 (which was, when it was written, in the future) in which every action is watched by a mysterious and possibly non-existent entity named Big Brother. Newspeak (doubleplusungood) etc were all methods of bringing the populace to heal. I wont say more cos it will ruin it should u read the book (whoch u should trust me). It was written in attack of dictatorships and the principles of totalitarianism (Orwell was a highly active Democratic Socialist) and its the strip is basically saying that this game alludes to 1984 in ways which would make poor deceased Mr.Orwell spin in his grave.VanQQisH said:

The only parts of the machine that are evil are the parts that don't pay me to sell there stuff. Product placement at its finest.Irridium said:
It references a famous book by George Orwell called 1984. I got it but I didnt find it funny. The comic is just a really subtle, ironic and hypocritical reference to how George Orwell made the goverment a villian and in the comic your replacing a totilitarian goverment society with in game advertising and capitalism.VanQQisH said:
Which is causing George Orwell to kickflip in his grave.
Strangely that doesn't scare me. I am in full control of what I want, and what i don't want. very little I am forced. what did scare me were in 1984 were the newspeak, the deleting of means to express oneself. I believe that is still firmly intact.Gindil said:
Go read George Orwell's 1984. It's an awesome book you should've read already anyway.VanQQisH said:
OT: very nice, I was just thinking about the Orwellian future a few days ago thanks to that movie Equilibrium
