Poll: Do you hate Ctrl-Alt-Del?

[johnfistyadams]

I'll admit that I check it every once and awhile and I do occasionally laugh at his comics, but I don't really find them particularly funny. It really stopped having good jokes in it some time ago.

 

[CoverYourHead]

I am not entertained by the comics, but the good thing about the internet is that it's impossible to bump into these things whilst on the way to your favorite site. So no, I don't hate it, but I don't like it either.

 

[Arawn.Chernobog]

Less text, more actual punchlines, cut the story-arch bullshit

Then I'll enjoy it (seriously, don't deliver the punchline in the 3rd panel and have the comic be 5 panels long, punch-line goes in LAST PANEL)

 

[TheSkaAssassin]

I like it. Its certainly more plot oriented than other gaming comics, but that leaves the reader wanting more.

I do not like, however, his new art style. Tim, if you are reading this, please go back to your third generation art. It was batter and not so uncanny valley.

I gave up on CAD years ago when it first started moving away from gaming humor to boring storylines about his vapid characters. None of the jokes were particularly funny or memorable, aside from the miscarriage storyline inspiring some spectacular parodies.

I like it and read it on a regular basis but I definitely prefer Least I could Do and Looking for Group.

LFG is taking itself abit seiously these days...read the first one again...its much funnier

LICD however is excellent ><

 

[Bullfrog1983]

Personally I like both and do not see why it would be worth getting angry over the change.

 

[chenry]

CAD sucks. Plot sucks, art sucks, characters are 1-dimensional. Everything he does someone else was already doing it and doing a better job of it. In closing

OT: I like all of it, I can say proudly

As much as it pains me to use the phrase, "This."

I don't understand why people hate it to be honest. Could someone enlighten me to the reason(s)?

I think haters mostly...well, hate it because of the more dramatic direction Tim went with the comic. I love the comic, too, but only because I've grown somewhat attached to the characters over the years. I miss the good ol' days where Ethan would just get drunk and invent holidays or build time machines, but I also care now what actually happens to them.

That, and I enjoy those sci-fi interactive stories. I wish he'd actually sell them with all the routes we didn't vote for.

 

[Malcheior Sveth]

It started out pretty well, but once he tried to build a coherent storyline it started sucking.

 

[Broken Orange]

I don't care, simply because the best webcomic has already been made. And no, it isn't the bland anti-humor that is Penny Arcade. I talk, of course, of Dr. McNinja.

I Second this!

On CAD, i have no need to hate it, makes me laugh. Didn't Calvin and Hobbes try to be serious with a dead raccoon? I don't hear anyone hatin' on Calvin.

 

[SaunaKalja]

I voted yes. I think 'hate' is a bit too strong, but the comic is pretty much crap. B^U

 

[rokkolpo]

i hate very few.

i dislike alot.

 

[ArcWinter]

What? What's wrong with it? There is literally no webcomic I have seen that I have not enjoyed.

Feel free to prove me wrong, by the way.

And you really can't criticize the CAD story unless you've read the best story comic on the internet (Sluggy Freelance).

I think that was a dead sparrow.

 

[syndicated44]

Oh those, I never really read em but never really had an urge to either. I occasionally start reading a webcomic now and again but overall I lose interest about half way in. That or I catch up and forget to check it frequently.

 

[Weaver]

I've been reading it since it's inception and it's really just... meh. It used to be zany and about video games. Now it's an ultra serious drama that fails to amuse me even slightly.

Also, Tim Buckley seems like a case of swollen ego. He got internet famous and now seems to act like a prick with opinions on everything

 

[ActionDan]

No. Why should I hate it. His comics have a good storyline and they make me laugh and have drawn me in. That's what comics are meant to do. And if he's doing something different then good for him! I'd rather stand out from the crowd and do something different rather than blend in with the sludge.

 

[Animated Rope]

"Hate" is such a strong word. I think the art is generally pretty static and dull, the plot tends to be over-the-top and ridiculous which conflicts horribly with the serious nature he tries to take, the dialogue is suffocating, the characters are bland and based on self-insertion and the parodies are generally unoriginal. I still read it, though. Not quite sure why, but I do. Maybe my inner critic is just working too hard.

This except I've stopped reading. To be honest I think he'd do better if he just made an independent drama story that isn't using characters originally designed for gaming jokes. The lack of character progression wouldn't be a bother if there was no story, and the story wouldn't be a bother if... yeah.

It's like a Frankenstein's monster of genres.

I like the comic, the storylines are ok, I find the sketchs hit and miss. I hate when the creator's arrogence means he can't take critism like the terrible miscarrage storyline... and what happened to Scott the Linux guy, I've heard that anyone who metions him gets banned from the CAD forum (though I don't bother going on there.)so thats a negative check to not bother writing out a character propelly and throwing a strop when people call you on it. So to sum up, the comic, stories entertaining enough, sketchs hit and miss, the writer.. ego the size of Jupiter.
