Yeah... its always weird how NPC dialogue in a Bioware game is so much better than the dialog that the PC has... well... except in Dragon Age... its pretty even in that game.

i say, instead of valve, you could have gone with blizzard for the last hell panel (starcraft 2, diablo 3, the list goes on and on). "or 3D realms," says the man on my shoulder.
Freakin' hilarious. Especially the Bioware panel And the joke seems pretty true. British cuisine is terrible but you feel safe in the steets (when I went to England I ended up eating Indian all the time, and in a pub they tried to sell me "Haggis Balls" as a great dish), Italian are disorganized as hell with good cuisine (every time I've goen there is a strike soemwher over something stupid) and French women, if they are half as good as ebd as they look, they are going to rock your world (no first person experience, but the sights are really nice) and in Switzerland everything runs like a clock but people are somewhat unfreindly.
hahaha great comic Shamus. I think 99.9% of all comics suck (web or otherwise) but this one nailed it!
There's also an old saw about Canadians similar to the European joke that I thought I'd add:
"Canada was in the unique position of being able to enjoy British culture, French cuisine, and American technology. Instead what they got was American culture, British cuisine, and French technology."
Great comic all around Shamus! (I myself would have gone with "only a little" to the ball-punching question, though.)

Cutscenes tend to demonstrate important pieces of the game design (being it interactive or not), taking the player out of the protagonist posicion, making them a mere spectator. It is a momentary feature of the game and should not be used just to have wet girls on the escrem...HentMas said:
Well that was pretty funny. I have to agree with all your choices for who does what with the game.
"But... zis game iz perfekt!" We can do better than that!"
Of course its entirely true that Valve is extremly bad when it comes to coming out with games at the right time. They are able to come out with Portal, TF2, all the TF2 updates, and both L4Ds but they still have yet to come out with Episode 3 for HL2. The only other company that I can think of that comes out with games so slowly is Blizzard, but then that would ruin the comic.
All in all very funny. And I also liked the little thing on Europeans towards the bottom.

Well, y'see, rumours abound in the dark corners of the Internet that if you're Renegade enough, it'll open the "Only if I get to punch you first" option on that wheel.Shamus Young said:
I tried. Lord knows I tried. I was so far down the Renegade scale that I once punched Saren in the face, and Liara said "Why don't you pick on someone your own size" and left the party. Even for all that, the other person's genitals remained unpunched.
Our police are pretty good! Unfortuntely, I can add one to that - in hell, the newspapers are British. The police always get a really bad rap from the press. Even when they catch someone, there are questions over whether it was appropriate or not. Give the police a break, they do what they can.
