I read CAD for the once-in-a-blue-moon funny comics, but it can't stand up to PA's constant hilarity or comics like Concerned, C&H, Perry Bible Fellowship, XKCD, and Order of the Stick.
I had to clean spittle from my monitor from laughing so hard at this one. Well done, Yahtz.

Yes he was talking about CAD and yes the recent story arc with the tragic miscarriage was a very bad idea but there have been some CAD comics that did get a laugh or two out of me which is really all I ask from something that is meant to be funny. As John Cleese of Monty Python said, "If people aren't laughing it isnt funny." I dont care what the source is, as long as I am entertained then its funny to me.
Somehow missed the huge wave of bans, thread deletions and censorship that's gone on in CAD's past because of criticism?SaneIntolerant said:

I was also looking forward to a game review. This intra spection on gaming culture isn't why I watch zero punctuation. The whole thing seemed like a bit of a waste.
That was really funny, I'm just disturbed at the fact that Yahtzee is apparently one of the shallow readers, like most of the people on this forum, who believe that web comics can and should only deliver the random humor that most do. Personally, I'm quite opposite of him: I haven't found any entertainment in Penny Arcade, I still love CAD and was impressed by Buckley's recent ability to pull of such a tragic and dramatic story with the characters I've grown to love over the years, and the only other webcomic I've actually been impressed with it VG Cats, though on an entirely different level than my love for CAD.
I don't know what to say about the fact that so many people here hate CAD: that all comes down to personal opinion, I suppose. But consider this: if you really want nothing more than shallow, random humor with no creativity or meaning to be found, just keep watching Napoleon Dynamite and catch all the Spongebob reruns you can, lest you get sick from overexposure to intelligence.

Nice... This inspired me to take a look at some web comics, and man, are they horrible. I made a web comic to illustrate the main problem with web comics, check it out: http://bp1.blogger.com/_if1EyZzJ54M/SGu2Q2eRxII/AAAAAAAAAC0/KFu47sINGpw/s1600-h/my+web+comic.bmp
Excellent video as always, Overlord Croshaw.
I personally like webcomics, including Ctrl-alt-delete (or CAD for you people who feel the need to abbreviate EVERYTHING!). However, the humour has declined as of late, and the whole miscarriage angle was an act of Tim shooting himself in the foot as far as I'm concerned.
But the important lesson is this; abstinence is the only 100% effective contraceptive...just ask Mary the Virgin.

LMAO I love how nobody noticed this one! Well played pun, sir/ma'am!Hannard said:
... CAD had a miscarriage plotline? Holy crap, I thought Yahtzee was joking. Who the hell thought "okay, let's do an arc of losing a child"? That is just... mindblowingly stupid.
In other news, I'm very happy to see Mac Hall, Dinosaur Comics, and the wonderous XKCD on his list of comics he likes.

As a large crockpot of malice toward the bullshit masquerading as a webcomic that is CAD, I enjoyed the latter half of this review. The whole thing was pretty entertaining, though, and certainly rang of truth as far as gaming comics are concerned.
As for Tim Buckley, he needs to forcibly remove his head from his ass. When you have such a large contingency of people who hate your work with a passion, it takes some serious arrogance to think that nothing is wrong with your comic.

All I have to say about the CAD hate is this: why is it that when someone likes something you do not like, they are not human?
I was honestly referring to Yahtzee in particular, as he isn't a member on the CAD forum and therefor the only possible way to retaliate would more than likely be to make a comic about it.Poptart Fairy said:
I also normally try to avoid forums of such sites, as they seem to be full of rampant fanboyism and blind followers, and, while I'm sure such is the case for CAD as well, this forum is no exception to the rule.
