is it just me who can't see the comic, or is that the joke

edit: haha shamus

edit 2: you actually clicked shamus? damn, i just ctrl+alt+deleted that page

 

[Ashbax]

yeah I cant see it either. D:

edit: oh wait I get it (This is what happens: Nothing)

 

[Teleios]

Technical problem, we're working on it. Sorry guys

 

[Clemenstation]

Wait, I'm confused. Clever metaphor or technical problems?

 

[Charlie_Brown]

This is so postmodern my head is hurting :/

 

[Susan Arendt]

We're really not that clever, honest. Mechanical issues. Please hold.

 

[Shrubery]

haha good one
"bushes and trees the game" WOULD have been so much better .

 

[Sparrow]

On a side note, does that REALLY happen? Just links you to a blank page only saying "Hello World"?

 

[LazerFX]

wow - just went to the site, and sure enough... Hello World.

Awesome, now that is pure genius. Someone just needs to set that site up to do a rickroll, and it'd be perfect.

Hrm - sarcasm overload, perhaps?

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Good one, does it seriously just say "Hello World"?
I don't have the demo so I can't check your facts, Mr. Young.

Funny stuff.

I quite enjoyed the Demo, apparently its when Aliens show up in the game that it gets crap so maybe its for the best it ends there. but very funny still.

Is that before or after the bit with the alien spaceship that everyone describes as amazing?

At the risk of partaking in an overused internet cliche:

Marketing FAIL.

Surprisingly, it's true.

Gotta love punch lines that write themselves. Hopefully a return to Left 4 Dumb next week? Looking forward to more, either way. SP and Experienced Points are easily my favorite features on the Escapist.

I'm playing Crysis for the first time now, it's pretty good, i keep forgetting I'm not in Half Life 2 and can't run into a group of enemies and still take them all down. I ran into two enemies and they killed me, highly embarassing, now i just sneak past the idiots laughing at them them.

Or sneak into a group of seven, kill one, hide behind a rock, sneak away, watch them try and find me, throw a grenade, hide again, die laughing. Good times.

He said on his blog that he'd be returning to L4D after this.

Oh the joy of Crysis, but I don't like how you didn't make fun of the fact that you can run into the koreans and kill them.
