Stolen Pixels #121: An Exciting New Feature

This comic was more or less a necessity. I found myself with several strips of material, all of which required Garry’s Mod, which is still broken. You know what they say, “When life gives you lemons, complain about it on your blog.” Works for me.

    I have nothing to contribute, but feel the need to post anyway in order to get in first. I guess that makes me a troll.

  2. Volatar says:

    I will be the first non-troll post (lol) to say that I rather enjoyed this comic. There are so many joke comics you can end with an error message, and this was one of the best :)

    Real FIRST!! :P

    Seriously though that was pure genius man. I loved it, well done.

    Then again you hit that mark a good 90% of the time so really it’s not so much job well done as job done to your usual standards Shamus.

    Hard to believe they would break it like that and just leave the world hanging though. Boggles the mind it does.

    Either way, Bravo.

    Awesome. I could hear the little “bonk” noise Windows makes in my mind when that panel came up. There has got to be a better way to do this kind of thing!

  5. Korivak says:

    Same things as Badger. I see the screenshot, and suddenly my mind calls up the sound that Windows errors make. I didn’t even realize I had done it until I saw the comment and thought back.

    Pavlov would be proud.

    MrHankers:
    @garrynewman Did you send that goddamn patch for the fix to the Save/Crash problem. It’s really pissing people off.

    Garrynewman:
    @MrHankers Yeah I goddamn did

    That’s great and all, but the punchline was hidden under the damned error window! Can you please post it here, at least?

    *warning: this post was a joke

    Hey wait, hang on.

    The problem is it crashes when you try to save a snapshot right? Like for the comic?

    Have you tried pressing printscreen and then pasting it into MS Paint? You can take a picture of the whole screen and then grab just the part you need..
