Nobody Likes A Cockblock

Spacebeard unknowingly cock blocked himself that day. 

HAHAHAHA ARROW TO THE KNEE JOKES! CLASSIC!!!

No, but seriously, this meme needs to stop.

When I was reading the reviews that were flooding in about The Elder V: Skyrim (“Skyrim” for short/cool kids), it seemed like there wasn’t a flaw to be found in it. Graphics were eye-bleedingly amazing. You could kill dragons and inhale their magic innards. The story and quests were chock full of kick ass adventure. No, wait, not even chock-full. “Chock-full” would imply that there would be a finite amount of kick ass adventure to be had. THE GAME RANDOMLY GENERATES QUEST SO THAT YOU CAN POTENTIALLY PLAY FOREVER. JESUS CHRIST THAT’S AWESOME!!! HOW COULD ANYONE FIND A PROBLEM WITH THIS GAME???

Well, now there is one. Congrats internet, you found a way to make me resent a nearly perfect game by making a meme out of an in-game joke that wasn’t even meant to be that funny in the first place. Damn you.

BEARDS IN SPACE!

Or something like that.

In case you are wondering why this week’s comic looks a little different from the usual comic we put up, that’s because IT IS! In an attempt to have more consistent content on the site, as well as to pimp out a lovely comic that our friend Dillon Ross writes and draws (Space Beard), we will putting up atleast one strip a week. And seeing how frequent we’ve been putting up new videos, it’s starting to look like we could potentially be putting up content every other day of the week.

ENJOY! 

And check out Space Beard!

Whoever said the Boy Scouts were right…

….Were probably right. While we do love us some video game humor, there are times when we get a little side tracked (or on the right track, depending how you look at it) and write something with absolutely NO POP CULTURE REFERENCES. I know, I’m freaking out too. This short sketch I wrote follows the grueling journey of two young men as they into a new home. It’s truly some moving stuff.

Sony’s “Title Fight” PLEASE BE A REAL THING

I really hope this isn’t just a rumor. I always wonder why Nintendo seems to be the only company that can successfully pull off a fighting game using their popular characters (and yes, I know about fighting games like DreamMix TV World Fighters and others). But with the awesome characters that Sony has in their titles, a fighting game sounds perfect.

Dan Has Video Game Insomnia

We’ve all had the nights. The nights where beating Starfox Adventures the night before an exam just seems like a great idea. Now I don’t know much about the “science of sleep”, but it seems pretty interesting that people suddenly start developing episodes of insomnia around the same time that the new Zelda game is out.

THERE’S TOO MANY GOOD GAMES OUT!

Don’t get me wrong, this has been an amazing couple of weeks, with Skyrim and Modern Warfare 3 (to name a few) exceeding my expectations. Well, Modern Warfare 3 suprised me. I KNEW Skyrim was gonna be amazing. 

Normally, this is where I’d say go pick them up, but honestly I don’t think I can. Obviously not because I don’t think they’re worth buying (THEY ARE), but it’s just that there’s so many other games coming out this weekend and even next weekend, I don’t think it’s realistic to expect anyone to be picking up all of these great games as they’re coming out. All I can say is that it’s sucks having the new Zelda game coming out the same week as college midterms…

This Happens WAY TOO OFTEN

I wear glasses. Not all the time mind you, my eyesight hasn’t gotten that bad yet. But being a college student who has to read tons of “scholarly articles” printed in 1 point font, I do like to wear the glasses to give my eyeballs a hand. But if my eyes are still killing me, I will wear them outside of the comfort of my home. And 9 out of 10 times, if I’m surrounding myself with new people, THIS is what happens. Someone gets SUPER excited about the seemingly magical spectacles that I have on my face and they won’t stop bugging me about letting them try my glasses on.

I don’t know if they’re expecting the experience to be like the first time they saw Avatar, or if they think I can see the world the same way the Superman does, but this needs to stop. Glasses are glasses folks. Some are blurry, and some aren’t as much. There ya go.

Sonic Generation (A New Beginning)

So, a new Sonic The Hedgehog game was released this week, and I’m sure we were all expecting the same bullsh*t we’ve been given the past 10 years. Luckily, we were wrong and Sonic Generations is awesome. But why is it awesome? You’ll have to find out. Hint: There’s no Werehogs.

A Tank Game On The Kinect…Could Work?

And by tank game, I mean the new Steel Battalion game. Not gonna lie, while I played a lot of mech games growing up, this is a series that somehow evaded me. Or maybe it’s because my family didn’t think I needed THIS.

This comic is brought to you by John Wilinski and his bag of magic.
