I literally just upgraded my video card so this comic really spoke to my inner PC gamer nerd.

I think (certainly hope) this strip isn't meant to be about all PC gamers but rather about a very specific (and thankfully quite rare) type of PC gamer. Amirte?

What a coincidence. I'm currently coping all my important files(i.e. porn) on my external harddisk because I've bought quite a few new pc components and will assemble them later today or tomorrow.

I'm the polar opposite. I've got an old laptop that can't run The Force Unleashed properly b-cuz (according to my nephew who 'knows everything about that stuff') my computer doesn't even have a graphics card (or something). I figure by the time I upgrade it my system won't be compatible with anything available (or something).

I miss Atari.

Heh. yeah, you couuuuld buy new shit every week... but you know how the saying goes, "a fool and his money are soon parted."

I'll be over in the corner with my 2008 motherboard, and my midrange graphics card from 2010 running everything at high....

You call yourself a salesman, you son of a *****?

Jesus, working a Blake quote into the strip reference...I've got to say I appreciate it. Do you know what it takes to sell PC components?

I do find myself trying to think of something I can justify buying for my PC sometimes...hmmm, maybe I could use another 16Gb of RAM...

I still use a GTX 470, and for the most part its given me very little issue. The most recent title I own is Borderlands 2, which while showing some strain here and there, holds up pretty well. I imagine that trend won't continue, as games these days always manage to somehow gradually increase in hardware demand with time, regardless of how the game actually looks..

D'oh well.

planning? sales pitch? construction? I don't need this, I bring a game box, look at the requirements and choose a computer that's better than that. I'm a console gamer at heart and I'm not going to waste time getting advice from someone trying to sell me something, just tell me where the things are.

also, my brother got put on a $4000 plan for a $2000 laptop when he already had $2000 in cash, but those crazy salesmen weren't gonna let it be so simple.

P.S. I wonder if Grey knows about it and how he feels towards it?
He linked it on twitter once. I think he finds it amusing.
Would you have the twitter post on hand or do I have to go searching for it?
I am no longer on twitter so you'd need to search, sorry.

I really think you guys should do some of the manga style faces/humor/backgrounds more often, it was really enjoyable.
Not ALL the time, but they were pretty damn funny.

Grey have you guys been watching a lot of Dragon Half lately?

Cause I think the art style is starting to bleed over into your comics.

Guilty as charged.

Only once, though. I now actually wait a few "card generations" now, so instead of five FPS gains, they're more like fifty.

I still make that face, though. Oh yes.

I'll probably get an Nvidia card for my next rig.

Also, that last panel gave me diabeetus.

This is completely ridiculous and totally unrealistic; there's absolutely no way Erin would be self-aware enough to know that she was doing it to bolster her sense of self-worth!

Awwwww... SD Erin is so cute.

I never knew being in PC retail meant women barging in and asking for dirty talk. I'm in the wrong line of work.

Yeah... I worry console gamers are - like with the "PC elitist" joke - not going to get the joke and ACTUALLY THINK YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!!

This isn't what PC gaming is about.

This is what having more money than sense is about.
