I have one:

In December 2016 the steamUbisoft servers crashed, losing the accounts of roughly 9 million gamers. After news hit of this immense loss of data, teen suicides rose to new highs. Also Ubisoft stopped online service for AC3, SH7, RUSE 2, and all other games preceding.
Fixed that for ya! No, no need to thank me! :D

Is it possible for a plot to be too tepid to mock?
How dare you say such a thing, sir! RF:G's plot is positively scalding next to some of the things Unskippable works with!

Also, non-sequitur violence punchline. Yes. Needs more blood, though.

I'm so happy this turned into a "IN THE YEEEAR 2,000!" thread, it was exactly what I was expecting.

"November 2011
Many games will now try to fight the scourge of the used game market, by offering FREE and 'EXTRA' DLC like the ending to the game, the ability to save your game, and for games with strip clubs in them - the women will be topless for everyone that buys new. Sometimes these bonuses will be spread amongst certain retailers as pre-order bonuses, rewarding the customers who preorder games at multiple retailers the ability to have the entire game!"

Sony and Microsoft will merge to become Sonysoft and release Green Ray - making you're movie collection obsolete....AGAIN!

There's also definitely room for a Duke Forever joke in here!

"Sony will continue to claim that the PS3 only does everything.
But but, it DOES do everything! This morning it made me breakfast, and apologized for some... unfortunate occurrences in the past.

Oh these bruises? I...uh... walked into a door.

On topic: Here's hoping HL will finish it's story before Valve bleeds their other franchises to death. I'd say a boycott but frankly nothing else they've had to offer has really interested me.

I like how the models stay in exactly the same place and only the camera angles change. Also how it's a parody and gets away with not being funny.

Well, at least the meta made me laugh /:

Bold predictions for the future of gaming.

Read Full Article
Best part of the comic is that the first prediction will actually come true. The other two are a little too blatantly exaggerated to share that fate, but are also rather amusing.

Console fanboys have nothing left to do but shut up

*I dont count PC as a console
Too bad the comic writer does consider it a gaming platform, then. Since he's playing Sins of a Solar Empire.

I said "Not a console" PC is a games platform i.e. it can play video games but a console(by my definition) is something that plays games as it PRIMARY function

Just wanted to clarify

I don't know if to laugh or cry at the All-Too-True Episode 3 prediction. I'm sure it will arrive in 12 3-hour long installments.

And you can't think of a clever joke about Sins of a Solar Empire? Those pirates are just aching for a Shamus commentary :D

The final evolution of Playstation Network is developed. The system goes on-line August 4th. PSN begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

It fights back.

Turns out all that stuff about PS3 being technology from the future is true. PSN, sent cell processors back in time to speed it's arrival. Which means it will come into its full power before humanity has developed the weapon technology to fight back.

Great comic, despite the punchline revealed in the first panel (actually, it probably worked because of that...).

Both Blizzard and Valve make spectacular games, every time. Just sayin.

I wish they would just come out and smack everyone in the face with "Sike! It's gonna be released TOMORROW!"

Half-Life 2 Episode 3 has been polished and complete for two years. However, the game requires Combine technology to run, and the G-Man has refused to release that technology at this time.
