Trashing the Heap
What does it mean when a program crashes, and why does it happen?
PC Hardware is Toast
This is why shopping for graphics cards is so stupid and miserable.
Mass Effect Retrospective
A novel-sized analysis of the Mass Effect series that explains where it all went wrong. Spoiler: It was long before the ending.
Linux vs. Windows
Finally, the age-old debate has been settled.
Silent Hill Turbo HD II
I was trying to make fun of how Silent Hill had lost its way but I ended up making fun of fighting games. Whatever.
Ha! I especially liked the punchline, good comic.
Nice comic and yeah, the punchline is pretty damn good ^^
Nitpicking: “Then, if I wait until you grow up AN get married”. “And” is missing a “d”.
Unless he was doing an accent, in which case it would be a deliberate omission – though technically, to indicate that, it would need an apostrophe, so “an'”, as opposed to “and” or “an”…
Nit-picked backatcha ;)
It’s still LuciEn, you know…
Lucian is a real world name, so I guess the confusion comes from there. It´s the writer fault. He decided to take one not-so-used of the real world, and then changed one letter to show his superb creative skills.
Also, it happens when the character fails at being memorable.
The punchline made me chortle milk through my nose. Ugh, hahaha. Well done, sir!
In my case, the “Lucian” thing happened because I ran a couple of D&D campaigns with a character named LuciAn, and I have typed the name that way many, many times. My fingers don’t like doing it the other way.
Didn’t you say something about having a column in the Escapist today? Is that up, yet?
The pokemon punchline was a mother-lode of comedy gold!
…one a’ dem days, I’ll get myself an account at the escapist, too, so I can spread the fanboi-ism around a little!

Another thumbs-up for the Pokemon bit — that was perfect. :D
And seriously, is it really that hard to come up with an actual evil-mastermind type of plan? :P
I think it’s the same mentality that has people running and playing RPGs, whether tabletop or on the computer, to think that the greatest ambition any thief character could ever have would be to become the Bestest Pickpocket In The World!!! :/ I tried arguing about that in a game I used to work in, pointing out that there are other things high level thieves could do, that Al Capone wasn’t known for picking pockets. No luck. And things haven’t changed since then. [sigh]

Haha! I reaffirm the greatness of the punchline.
Wow. That is some serious bloom lighting.
