Poll: Do you like Ctrl-Alt-Del?

[ClazzD]

I love CAD

 

[Pielikey]

Well I like the computer function, because when garry's mod INEVITABLY CRASHES I don't have to be stuck on it for twenty minutes waiting for it to close.


I don't like the comic, though. Some of the comics have too many words. I prefer XKCD and Penny Arcade. (Not that they don't have similar issues)

EDIT: And CAD is ALSO an abbreviation for Computer Aided Design.

I like CAD when ALL of the main characters are not there or to put it another way, when it's an actual gaming webcomic and not a drama as directed by a nerd.

I developed this notion when he thought up that gaming holiday rubbish and force fed a pile of unfunny, uninteresting comics

Standout comic was that Gears of War one with the train gun... I had a chuckle.

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

I did when I was reading it. It's one of the many webcomics I fell off at some point and never picked back up. I do remember really liking his video game concept parodies more than the main story, though I have a bookmark list of comics that I planned to use for quotes...

Yea... CAD's comics that are about games (like today's) are usually fairly good. The vast majority of the rest are just dumb.

This thread was just done a week ago. And I still like CAD

whoever said 8-Bit Theater was better though is totally right.

Been readin' it since #186. I miss Red Mage. Where did he gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Red Mage is there. Hell, in the last comic, he helped carry off Fighter before he could stupid Chaos into a coma. If you're talking about Black Belt though (who, as far as I can remember, is the only character to have disappeared), I have no idea.

You haven't been reading since the beginning, have you? Red Mage was Sosa, a guy who worked with Brian on the site, and wrote a nerd advice column under that name: "Twinkin' Out with Red Mage". He had over forty articles by the time he quit doing it
and then when Brian changed to site format, all the old stuff was lost forever, replaced by Warbot and HIKYM

Nope, it's pretty much the opposite of my taste in webcomics. I don't find it funny, I don't like the art style, the storyline or even the fact that there is a storyline.

For examples of what I'd consider to be a good webcomic: this [http://www.asofterworld.com], this [http://pbfcomics.com/], this [http://studiosketchy.com/] and this [http://www.nataliedee.com/]. It's perhaps no coincidence that two of those are by women and one is a joint effort between a woman and a man.

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

If you're talking about the 3-button salute, I use it all the time.

If you're talking about the webcomic, I think it's an unoriginal and unfunny webcomic with lame copy-paste graphics, and really fail to see why some people like it so much. While Tim Buckley isn't always the worst at coming up with jokes, he is incredibly bad at writing jokes, and even worse at writing storylines.

 

[AcacianLeaves]

No. Webcomics should be funny and/or entertaining. CAD has never been either.

 

[M4rsch]

I find that when I encounter such a situation a hard boot is usually the only option.

EDIT: It just occurred to me that you perhaps mean the comic. Forgive me, I just walked 10 miles in -10 degrees for... no apparent reason. I find CAD the comic to be bland, repetitive, lacking in humor, and generally... imagine the sound a goat makes when displeased, and that is what I would describe it as.

Pretty much describes my feelings toward Crtl Alt Del

 

[flaming_squirrel]

Terrible writing, check.
Too much fucking text, check.
Unfunny jokes, check.
Retarded plots, check.
Shitty characters, check.
Author who deserves a slap, check.


Nah, I dont like cad much. Task manager rocks though, process causing trouble? BAM, it's gone.

 

[spinFX]

Didn't we just have this topic? Anyways, I like it well enough when it's just parodying games, but when it uses the typical characters I don't really care either way. I can't really criticize those segments for not being funny though, Buckley obviously isn't trying to be humorous when he writes those.

Also, sometimes the game parodies can be really bad. Example:

Spoiler: My example

So unfunny, even the crickets refuse to chirp.

Oh that was terrible...

On topic, yep, the miscarriage episode killed it for me. The whole marriage thing was killing it, but that was the bullet in the head.
