Should've been a panel with Richard Pryor saying: "Well, at least when I do this, it's in the comfort of my own home."
Considering the Xbox One was announced on May 21st, it also appears that you're thoroughly sick of math.martyrdrebel27 said:
This is one of those strips where I can't tell if it's a subtle joke hidden behind an obvious one, or just an obvious joke and I am being an idiot for trying to find a non-existent subtle one.
Have I ever told you how much I love you sometimes?Grey Carter said:
Kinda agree with Happiness Assassin, I thought maybe there was some underlying clever joke in there apart from the over-exaggerated burning of M$ by Sony but I have yet to find it. If this was released a few days ago then it would have me in stitches but after a few days of laughing about it with my friends it's just kinda meh.
Ah well, there's Tuesday to look forward to =)
Edit: Oh new avatar Legion...yeah I'm pretty excited for Arise too!!

Well i have a theory of thisGrey Carter said:
1. he is experiencing a sick version of Groundhogs day where he relieves the same month over and over but in a different reality all in which MS screwed up
2. He is a time traveler and is from 3 weeks into the future
3. He has the ability to see into the future and has been doing so since 3 weeks ago
each are possible
also how is the corpse not burning in the last panel?
I haven't watched E3, so maybe I'm wrong, but I think that it was about Microsoft being a bunch of liars and henceforth being on fire.
It's not subtle at all. It's a commentary on the poor design choice to include recognition for the command "Xbox: incinerate!"Keith K said:
This is of course a comment on the red ring of death, where the 360 quite literally immolated itself to death and the prediction that the Xbone whilst possibly of a higher quality will instead both literally and figuratively set itself on fire. The possibly shoddy hardware on one hand and the PR department who thinks indignation is the best response to criticism on the other.
I was kind of hoping that poor ol' Don Mattrick's final pose would be to clutch the Xbox One against his chest, trying to protect it from the flames. But then again, the internet can take only so many references to the White Phosphorous incident from Spec Ops: The Line.

Because depicting a person literally burning to death is funny and/or absolutely necessary to make a point no-one has already made in the past yetGrey Carter said:
That's coo'.
haha nice. Got me there. I guess I could have said "after 6 strips about the Xbox one..." instead.Grey Carter said:
but seriously, you're not even a little excited about the XB1? Why the constant hatred? At least pepper in some Wii U and PS4 hatred as well. For example, if you read the specs carefully, you'll notice that the PS4 is powered by puppy hearts. Fact. Just saying, keep some balance. I've read this comic a long time and was really excited the time I noticed yu used Streetlight Manifesto lyrics at the bottom, but after 6 weeks (haha) of something I like ceaselessly blasting something I'm looking forward to, im starting to feel alienated. I certainly would never ask an artist to censor themselves, but maybe just mix up the focus of your disdain. that is all.
I actually have time travelled. Well, transdimensional shifting is a more accurate way to put it, but I'll settle for time traveler in the interest of keeping it simple.Gamegodtre said:

now come now dont make light of switching the world lines in order to seemingly travel across time
Did anyone find a 6 panel comic of man burning to death, a well drawn replication of real life man, you know an actual person burning to death not funny?
I get the joke, har har Sony burned Microsoft. But this is really disturbing and kind of wrong. WOuldn't it have been better to just so the X1 combusting, instead of drawing this?
