Via Terminally Incoherent I find this gem:
The tag at the bottom says the comic is by Dave Kosak, but I couldn’t find the original.
LATER: “Comic”? Why did I call this thing a comic? This is humorous, yes. But I don’t think I’d call it a comic.
This Scene Breaks a Character
Small changes to the animations can have a huge impact on how the audience interprets a scene.
Shamus Plays LOTRO
As someone who loves Tolkein lore and despises silly MMO quests, this game left me deeply conflicted.
Fixing Match 3
For one of the most popular casual games in existence, Match 3 is actually really broken. Until one developer fixed it.
The Best of 2019
I called 2019 "The Year of corporate Dystopia". Here is a list of the games I thought were interesting or worth talking about that year.
A Telltale Autopsy
What lessons can we learn from the abrupt demise of this once-impressive games studio?
I don’t see how that applies exclusively to RPGs. Don’t I make the same sort of analysis each day?
Yeah, I was just thinking that should be part of daily life. Where’s my printer and a pair of scissors!
Re: “Is it scary?” – shouldn’t there be a decision block “Is it REALLY scary?” with Yes leading to “RUN AWAY!”? At least it would if you came from the Brave Sir Robin Knight School!
Amusing post.
Cheers
It’s not actually a comic, but a column by Dave “Fargo” Kosak on Gamespy.com …. every week he writes about a specific issue in gaming, films and geek culture in general…. is often funny and always sarcastic.
This is an image used in a very old column about the dynamics of RPG characters and the minds of the players behind them.
I’m slowly working my way through areas. I’m up to date on the Comic. I’ve read all your rants. I’m working on links now. I’m going to read the campaign material soon. I work my way up from the bottom on the non-storyline type stuff–reading the most recent first. I’m greatly amused, and intrigued. I find that my time is well spent reading and enjoying the site.
Yay enjoyment.

Oh. Yeah. I forgot. I meant to say, in my last comment:
I had seen this once before. I Enjoy finding things I’ve seen before, and had forgotten, in a new place.
It’s like someone finding a lost treasure, and handing it back, with no request for a reward.

A metagamer would stab the flowchart with his pencil as soon as the DM handed it to him, having made all the necessary decisions already.
Then he would try to find another thing.
