You know, I could say SO much, but all I can say is that its funny how some people bash these other comcis for 'not being funny' or have personal issues against the authers when they defend this one to the death. ZP has gone downhill fast, and no matter how many rambling blathering incoherant text walls people put up the bottom line is that he is simply bashing other people in the same field he is. What gets me though is not that this week bashes Webcomics I like per say, as I don't like all he noted, its that he seems to be going out of his way to find something bash-worthy in his eyes. I miss psychonaughts. There, I said it. I miss it when the man felt like he gave a damn and wasn't just putting up crap because it would tick people off. I miss when he would drag up the name of some amazing game or even one he found amazing and just say "You know what? This kicks ass" instead of just picking the most popular game of the week and ripping it a new in the most ass backwards way he can just because, well I'm not sure why anymore.
And to all of those Yatzee fanboys who defend him I hope you guys really love the direction it is going because you are going to be the majority of his fan base soon. For the past few weeks he seems to have just taken the easy way out,m aybe longer. To be frank it almost seems like he does not care anymore. I for one have no reason to sit here and watch a man just start ragging on things anymore. When he seemed to have some credability, some insight, some vision beyond the norm it was great but the more he opens his mouth lately the more it just seems like hes blurting out more nerd-hate and less actual insight. Oh he doesn't think Penny arcade is funny. Wow... Thats just so amazing. Even if he hates it so what? I really don't give a damn about his opinion on web comics. I could care less what Yatzee does in his free time in regards to what he reads/watches. Next hes going to do a ZP on why he hates hats other than the one he wears or something. WHO CARES?
The man is losing it, and I really hope he gets dropped so that he can go on to something that makes him happy again because its obvious he does not like this job anymore with the lack of work he puts into it.
Woo, Terra is back. That means the discussion is back to "head in your own colon" levels and I can berate a few tards. Wee-ha!
You could say sooooo much, yet you don't. Nice argument there.
As for "not being funny" or having "issues with the author" If pig-like and BALD ever became twats we would call them on it. The problem is that Buckley is, and has always been so far up his own ass I'm surprised he hasn't warped physics and vomited up his own head.
...And he found GTA 4 fun and went back to play it some more. What more do you want? He gives his opinion, and just because it doesn't line up with your malformed views doesn't mean it's not what he thinks. Then again, you're either a troll or an idiot, so who cares?
An easy way out, yes, because that makes sense. Arguing popular games are bad based on flaws contained within' as opposed to inane comments like "ecksbawks hueg!" and "Mario is kiddy." If you have no reason to sit around and watch it, don't. If you want to sit around and complain about it, then fine, whatever. Make a point here and there that's relevant and everyone can have a nice discussion.
As for Penny-Arcade, it's on his list of good comics. Nice try on making an ill-conceived point there. Nice to see nothing has changed.
If you don't care so hard, why post? At least those of us posting have an interest in some way, shape, or form. If all you've got is apathy, why even comment. You add nothing to discussion and don't even present an opinion. I'd say you're less than useless, but that's not possible so I'll just go with astoundingly useless.

for anyone who wants to see the original version of the comic: http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php
it's a comepletely different thing than that piece of excrement that someone photshopped out of their sick mind
and btw that John Soloman guy is worse than Yahtzee at making a point and having a believable and interesting opinion....the guy just goes on a little tantrum about very little other than the fact that he doesn't like CAD and he's going to be as much of a forum whoring douchebag as possible to get that point across, if that's even a point
He may be a hate filled venom sack, but Soloman always made accurate assessments of the problems in the comics he talked about. Despite his asshole-ish tendencies, he was always spot on even going so far as to reference actual comics to make his point.
Say what you will about his writing style, but his points can't really be faulted when he's al literally attempting to choke you with evidence backing up his statements...Except when he's taking personal shots, that's just the icing on the mercury laced cake.

I find it kind of sad that anyone would go after Buckley for an error most people make. I know several people who are in relationships and have sex when its doomed to fail. Hell from what I understand sex is usually the last thing a couple has when the relationship is When the love is gone most people seem to try and patch things up with sex as its one of the few things they have in common. As for contraceptives, well, as shocking as it is that I am the one to explain this to everyone they do not always work. Everyone makes mistakes, and just because its unplanned and would have been bad for the two of them does not mean that he was not saddened by the miscarrage in some way. Sometimes people do diffrent things to deal with such issues. I just find it sad that people are jumping to conclusions about an issue that is very personal and the way an artist chose to deal with his emotions. Its not your life, you don't know what youd do in the same situation or how you would feel.
What I really find disturbing is that you people can judge him, but I don't hear anyone here praising Jerry Holkins or Mike Krahulik for Childs Play. That was a wonderful thing and I can honestly say the only sad thing is that it is not spreading as far or as fast as it should. But no, you take an expression of someones mixed and confused feelings and use it to say they are a bad person. You don't find it funny thats fine but you all have just as much wrong with you, and I do too.
And Ragamuffin, it can still happen. As I said sex is usually the last resort of a failing relationship and he may not have wanted to admit to himself that it was toxic at the time. He may have been fighting to get himself to see the good in a person he thought he wanted to be with. Again I find it disturbing that you are trying to judge a situation that is personal and that you know NOTHING about.
And here I was thinking I would have to cut a rant short.
Guess what, that error still makes HIM an ass, and makes your buddies assholes as well. The idea is that one person knows it's doomed to failure and is just stringing the other person along, somewhat like Lucas...Hmm, big shocker there.
The contraceptives thing is just stupid all over. Condom + Pill + spermicidal lubricant = pretty much not getting pregnant except through an act of God. The odds of it are so small this shouldn't even be debated unless you're that one unlucky bastard who it happens to.
So personal he whores it out in a storyline. Sorry, but you loose all rights to something being a personal tragedy when you start whoring it out. If it's personal, you play it close to the heart or perhaps explain it in a well thought out manner, not in between gag-strips where it's sure to lose all impact.
We don't reference Childs Play because it's a wonderful program and everyone knows that. This isn't deviantart, we don't need to sit around in a circle jerk. You can't even use it in conjunction with a point. Oh, and those "mixed and confused" feelings would be A-OK if he wasn't, again, whoring out a personal "tragedy" for the sake of a joke comic...And did you just say you were as bad as everyone else? I'm not even sure where that last sentence is going.
Yes, because sex never happens between two people in a healthy relationship...NEVER! At least your next line is fun. Why do you assume he's telling a non-bias version? Last I checked people who come out of unsatisfactory relationships always skew things in their favor. Even if he is telling the truth, why would you go out of your way to tell people about it? "So, I was with this *****, and she was a *****, right? Right, so like, she miscarried and I was all sad and shit. Her? Who cares, she was a ***** and the relationship was toxic." The douche plays it up like it's some great loss to him when he states, in advance, that he knew it was doomed to failure and "toxic" so either he's an ass or he's an idiot.

I.E. human. Your faulting him for a mistake in that regard. Your not an idiot for trying to save a relationship that is doomed to fail or unhealthy you are simply letting your emotions get in the way. The majority of people do that. If you want to call him an idiot then do so but the fact is most people are when in a relationship good or bad. Maybe he only knows now how toxic it was. Maybe he can see clearly that it was dead from the start and could not then. THats just how it is. He has that on his mind, he has to live with the child he will never have because of a misscarrage and with the conciquences of that both good and bad. That is how we grow as people.
He had sex with a girl he was perhaps at the time still convinced he was in love with, or at least SHOULD be. She got pregnant. the pregnancy showed him for sure that it was dead and then even as he was preparing to go though with it either way, misscarrage. Now in the end he is guilty of being human, nothing more. Maybe I am wrong about him but I honestly feel that its none of my buisness in the end. Only two people on this planet need to really deal with the issue on a serious level and nobody here is among them.
Yes, we fault people for making human mistakes. Bigotry, racism, stupidity, gender bias, all are human mistakes...and yes, you are an idiot for trying to save an unhealthy/doomed relationship, hence the "unhealthy" and "doomed" part. He stated he knew it was toxic, so that next point goes out the window, just like your logic.
You know, I'm doing a Godwin and...No, actually, better idea, Mao Tse-Tung is human and all his mistakes are human. As such we should think no less of him. Same with Stalin. He was awesome if you overlook all the "human mistakes". In fact, he's even more awesome because of it.
Whoa, logic at the end there. The only two people who should have been involved in this are B^UCKLEY and his girlfriend with the low standards. Unfortunately, he involved everyone else by spouting off about it and using it as a plot point for his characters to become "DEEP!".

We don't know what part didn't affect him though... frankly I think it probably hit him harder than he let on or said, hit him enough to put it into his art, thats saying something. Granted it may hit harder if the baby is wanted, but for all we know the fact that it did not is what upsets him the most. All I am saying is you can't judge unless you are in the situation, hell unless you are the person it happens to.
If he outright stated it didn't effect him, so we know it didn't effect him. What are you looking for here, a neon sign saying "I don't give a flying rats ass"

Um...isn't that more or less what CAD did?
Yes...Don't try to think about it.

The hell? Is this thread still going on? Are we still debating about CAD sucks? Please tell me we at least reached a conclusion in that area
No, the fanboys refuse to believe that a story about a miscarriage is considered a faux pas in a "comedy" web comic.
That, and we have people like Terra up there going on about nothing in particular, making no points, and just being a generally unlikeable and nonsensical prick.
I would be in that category as well, but I saved up all my "not an ass when commenting" points from earlier just so I could blow the load on people like Terra...At some point I should think about getting a hobby besides taunting stupids on the interwebs.
...Screw it, SIMPLE PLEASURES AHOY! GOTTA WALL 'O TEXT LIKE A MOTHAFUGGA!
Also, surprisingly, the robot in todays comic actually made a good point. Perhaps Dorko the wonderboy might actually be improving, provided we ignore the last panel. Oye, way to kill the moment.
