What math are you referring to here? I see that you claim to be 30 and that you also claim to be surrounded by a bunch of kids (who for the most part are probably older than you) who you claim know nothing about "good" humor. That sounds like a statement of personal belief, and outside of some sort of theoretical mathematics the likes of which the world has ever seen I'm not sure HOW I could apply math to such a belief... There are three variables... one is a given integer value, one is suggested to be lower than (but not equal to) the previously stated value, the other is... wait, you know what? I think you are being sarcastic again! That or you, in your haste to whip up a witty rebuttal to my statement, applied an popular phrase hoping to add value to your statement but instead misusing said phrase, removing any value your statement might have had. Then, just for kicks (and to somehow hint at how you claim to be 30 years old by using a slang term of the "younger" generation) added the word "dude" to the end of your misused phrase. The use of dude suggests you are somehow "above" this generation (and its ideals). You know what? Instead demeaning myself by further arguing with your flawed rhetoric, I'll just accept the "High Five" John Freeman. offered me. High five... dude. |

Yeah, that is true. With few exceptions, trying to cope with things by putting it into your comic/TV show/book series/etc. is not a good idea (an excellent example is the sixth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer; after "Tabula Rasa" the entire season went downhill). I did prefer the earlier episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion, before Anno made the show into a "How can we mentally scar Shinji and the rest of the characters with THIS angel attack?" sequence, though I still liked the series the whole way through. But, of course, the fact that Anno is actually a DARN GOOD WRITER meant that it still managed to stay good even when it became more dark and depressing. |

Yep, I love him so much he may as well have his balls in my mouth right now. Hmm, being tongued by a high and mighty god, that's got to be something alright...Well, there's a disturbing mental image. Thank you sarcasm gland for the wonderful experience. However, despite my cold, black, heart, there are plenty of things I love besides the misery of others. The Shenmue series, the Kingdom Hearts series, The Sword of Truth novels, Orson Scott Card in general and a host of other things. Please not the first three things I mentioned were SUPPOSED to be in the "bad taste" category, if only to illustrate my earlier point of everyone having a guilty pleasure or three. You know, the whole "You can like whatever you want, but don't try to put it above the level it's at..." argument? Yeah, I didn't think so. Yes, because neither are "human mistakes" Just because one is inherently more offensive makes it no less human, you irritable cunt. Your lack of understanding in no way invalidates my statements. "I think this sucks, I'm going to tear it a new one." Which is nothing at all like the Turok, Devil May Cry 4, or Clive Barker presents Clive Barkers Jericho by Clive Barker. Does it hurt to be that stupid? He's only done obscure games once, and don't count Psychonauts as that once, it's creator was well known and the game has been featured in a number of gametap commercials. Yes, so obscure and mysterious it's on tv every few days. ...Okay, the rest just devolves into "blah blah blah I'm a dirty whore." I don't even need to twist your words. They're so garbled and incomprehensible most of the time you may as well be typing while on a tilt-a-whirl. Considering you start with "the internet does not need criticism" which then devolves into criticism of a critic on SAID CRITICS WEBSITE. That's so meta-game I think I need to contact a DM. The part of my brain that processes logic just got "the pimp hand" as it were. Buckley is an ass, Yahtzee is paid to be an ass occasionally if his views line up with the chance. Hell, you're an ass and I'm an ass as well, the only difference is that Yahtzee and myself also are attempting to make a point while calling people pants on head retarded. Well, that and be funny as well, but I'm more a physical comedy kind of guy. You're more like Buckley than Yahtzee, and in that I pity you, you sad, sorry excuse for a human. "However Finding out about a real situation like this and just making a snap judgement that he is a bad human being, whats more saying he is a bad human being for what may be simply the very simple desire to try and keep what he may have thought of at the time as a relationship he 'should' save is just wrong" Holy run on sentince Batman, she's gone snookin' loopy! I'm saying that yes, he's a bad person because he made bad decisions. It's the baseline for deciding whether or not a person is nice or not. Buckley compounds the situation by being an egotistical jagoff, further placing him in the "bad person" area. Now, if he learned some humility and understood that one should be ASHAMED of bad decisions made, he may yet make a productive member of society out of himself...But I doubt that's going to happen. ...That last paragraph just invalidated everything else you wrote above it. I...How old are you? What, did someone leave off the child lock? Your post is so contradictory you may well want to get into politics. Yes, that's the way, confuse them. If they don't know whether you're coming or going you're beyond reproach till they figure it out. Brilliant!
Oh, boy, I needed that laugh. I don't even need to comment on that one. It writes its own material.
Well, I put two and two together and got that age isn't indicative of good taste or intelligence.
He made it one by bringing it up in conjunction with the storyline. You know, whoring it out?
While I would debate that loons ability to write all the way till the cows come home, you've got it spot on. Coping is something you do by yourself or with friends, maybe. You don't make an spectacle, and everlasting reminder if you will, of your personal pain that will endure throughout the years...Also, what was up with the floaty Rei clones that made everyone a-splode? That shit got weird later on, to say nothing of the last angel and Shinji. Aaaawkwaaard. WALL 'O TEXT MAN POWERS, ACTIVATE! |
Muckraker  Posts: 337 Joined: 8 Dec 2007   | I am incrediblly confused. This is a comedy video, is it not? If it makes you laugh, you click comment and type "That made me laugh, please do more videos in that style", or if it doesn't make you laugh "That was not entertaining, please try something different", right? Why all the anger? It's a joke, drink some beer and forget about it. |
Paperboy Posts: 49 Joined: 27 Sep 2007  | I'd post my own two cents about this, but Steve from Dueling Analogs says it better than I ever could. "I find so much humor in the CAD bashing. Fine. There are people out there who have legitimate gripes about CAD and Tim Buckley. But a good chunk of the gripes comes from people who are jealous of what Buckley has achieved. Ctrl+Alt+Del is either the second or third largest webcomic in the world (behind only Penny Arcade or both Penny Arcade and XKCD). That's nothing to scoff at. And if you don't think he deserves it, it's definitely something to be jealous... (I got a lot of flak for people not completely understanding what I was saying. So let me give you the definition of the word jealous.) Jeal*ous - adj. (Make sense?) The problem is that every time you complain about Ctrl+Alt+Del on your site or a forum or send someone a link, you are bringing more traffic to the site. Odds are that the people already reading CAD are not reading your blog or if they do, it won't change their opinion. But since everyone has different opinions, its possible that you gained Ctrl+Alt+Del a new reader by exposing someone to it that may not have been familiar to it before. What I do if I don't like another webcomic is nothing. I don't mention it, I don't answer comments about it, and I definitely don't link to it. I promote what I like and not what I don't. Make sense?" In less words: Every time you gripe an moan about something on the internet, someone who never saw that something will be introduced to it. Might even become a loyal fan too. In even less words: The more you complain, the stronger it gets. On another subject, Am I the only one here who misses Hellbound? That comic was great! |

Copy Clerk Posts: 86 Joined: 27 Jun 2008 |
Because he has legions of adoring fans that overlook his douchebag-ery, all his personal flaws, and treat him like he's the second coming of Christ...I'm not saying I agree with the reasoning, but I can see why some might be jealous. You'd just have to be a monumentally self absorbed, shallow jagoff. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 125 Joined: 25 Jun 2008 | You know, lets get off the CAD aspect of it and take buckly out of the equasion a moment. You don't like him? well thats fine. The real problem seems to be that Yatzee bashed him becasue he does not like him and so many of you don't like him. Thats the problem I have. I realize that he is a critic but the whole point is that critics, TRUE critics suck. All he is doing now is finding things that many people won't like and agreeing. "I don't like Hitler and this is why" and then he just goes on and bashes hitler. My disgust at everyones inability to follow one of the few simple commandments that Jesus set forward and annoyance at the fact that people seem to resort to the stupid fanboy cleche of "How old are you" notwithstanding all Yatzee does anymore is follow that whole "The fans want negativity" bull. It just makes so many of his jaded little fans go "Yay, this is something I hate too" and it gives them validation to their short sighted little opinions about things. Well I miss it when Yatzee only bashed what needed bashing. I'm not talking about games I don't like only hell I love the DMC games and I totally agree with his "Dante Vs Nero" comparison. However this excessive focus on negativity gets old. He has gone from being unique and giving out real insight to simply bitching and nitpicking like everyone else. Everything he had going for him is slipping away as he becomes 'Just another critic'. I know I am in Yatzee fanboy land and that I can't win with any sort of logic because people will just misuse text walls and fall back on old fanboy cleche's to bash me for views they obviously don't understand or are too high and mighty to let themselves grasp or whatever. I can say 'you know what? Maybe we should look at Tim as a human and realize that he probably has his own issues like the rest of us and that we are not living his life or close to him so maybe we don't know the whole situation' or 'Maybe instead of just finding thngs to Harp on Yatzee should dig out the Kyrandia games or the original Sam and max or the second Lands of Lore game or Sevent guest or ANYTHING to just pull him away from bitching all the time' but apparently people are happy to crucify a man they don't know because of bad rumors or even some bad things he may have done which are in the end between him and god and just let Yatzee be the Indie G4 finding every little fault with every little game even when he likes them. I don't really know why I try. You people who tell me I am wrong have already made up your minds that Yatzee is king and you are right because of it so trying to show you that maybe the man needs to step back a bit is pointless. Have fun with your gold Calf folks. |

And the peanut gallery is back. Let's get something straight, Yahtzee never stated Buckley was an asshat, that grew from earlier posts and involves mostly those of us who feel that way. Secondly, he bashed webcomics as a whole. Just because he referenced a specific comic doesn't mean he wasn't referring to the medium as a whole. Way to go all Godwin on us. Thanks for that. I tried to avoid it, but you just had to dive in head first. Which commandment is that, "Thou shalt not be an ass"? Also, way to bring up Jesus in a non sarcastic/joking way. We're two for two on the "List of things you shouldn't use in an argument." So whom decides what needs bashing, pray tell? ZE GERMANS? You either like or dislike his approach, but you can't fault what he's bashing, especially if you go on to state that some of his bashing is well founded. You don't get to have it both ways, either everything is up for grabs or nothing is...and considering your anal-retentiveness in going on inane tangents about contradictory information, I'd say it'd have to be the latter due to the sheer volume of crap you touch on. "Bitching and nitpicking" are interesting words. Considering the DMC review referred to the difference between the characters as a "pussy and a cunt" I doubt you even understand what real insight is. Also, too many belts, now there's some REAL INSIGHT! Aaaaand we're back to "you don't understand" blah blah blah. Perhaps if you took the time to write a non-contradictory argument we (me) wouldn't go out of our (my) way to bash you for being an idiot. He can live his life all he wants, but when he starts using it as a spectacle, a way of getting attention, we get to lay the righteous anger down on him for being oh so human. I don't care if I don't know the "whole situation" I know it as he described it. Had he not described it, I would have nothing to latch onto, but he did. As he described it, he's a callow, shallow, dipshit, and that's what I work with. "Maybe we should look at Tim as a human and realize that he probably has his own issues like the rest of us and that we are not living his life or close to him so maybe we don't know the whole situation' or 'Maybe instead of just finding thngs to Harp on Yatzee should dig out the Kyrandia games or the original Sam and max or the second Lands of Lore game or Sevent guest or ANYTHING to just pull him away from bitching all the time' but apparently people are happy to crucify a man they don't know because of bad rumors or even some bad things he may have done which are in the end between him and god and just let Yatzee be the Indie G4 finding every little fault with every little game even when he likes them." Punctuation is your friend, learn to love it. Snarkyness aside, if Yahtzee chooses to do so and does it in an entertaining way, more power to him. If he wants to blow the kneecaps off a bad game, also more power to him. I really don't get where you're going with this because even in his positive reviews he had issues with the games. As for Buckley again, yes, we have issues with WHAT HE'S DONE, you know, HIS ACTIONS, THE RULER BY WHICH A PERSONS WORTH IS DETERMINED...and if given the chance I WOULD crucify the bastard, if for no other reason than to keep him from working on CAD for a little while. That, and the thought of him crucified makes me smile. Then again I have an odd sense of humor concerning people I don't like. Oye, hey, no stealing analogies I've already made. Get your own ones, and find some that are more appropriate. Had we been all "Oooo, let's suck Yahtzees dick some more..." then yes, the analogy would be fine, but since we've talked about Tim Bork bork bork (The only thing in memory of his that I've laughed at.) on the basis of his own actions and haven't really referenced the video, I'd say that we're clear of that particular hurdle. Also, we tell you that you're wrong because you are. Had you mounted an argument that went beyond that of a grade schooler (hence the sarcastic age comment, you twit) it would have been well met, just like the other ones. However, since you've been upgraded to a dickhead with projection issues, I really feel no need to be civil with you. ...Well, seeing how most of that is actualy civil discourse, I really need to up the ire count. TerraMGP, you're thick as manure and not half as useful, your nose is like a Russian pussy, oh, and brush your teeth, my dick will be inspecting soon!...I love other countries, they have awesome insults. |

I'm lost, are you talking about Yahtzee or Buckley? |

While I appreciate the comment, I'm not here to make fans. I'm here for DISCUSSIOOOOONNNNN!!!1!...and a little flaming of tards, yeah. Once again, I love other countries insults. They're crazy fun. Oh, and Terra is female apparently. I figured I should let anyone know who doesn't already.
I was originally aiming that at Buckley, but to be frank some of the people on my side of the argument are just as borked as some of the opposition. I call the "not with them" rule, despite our shared love of Yahtzees work. Also, the big difference between the two is that Yahtzee realizes that he's a bit of a twat, he just runs with it. Assholes are all fine and dandy provided that they know what they are and can make people laugh. B-arrow up-U boy seems to think he's awesome to the EXTREEEEEEEEME and has no ability to see his own failings. If he did, I really wouldn't mind him as much, if at all. |

Yes, I admit it, I'm a fan of Spoony and I did partially rip that line from him. However, I've been using the line for a long time before hearing it from him, he just instigated it's more frequent usage. Besides, it sounds awesome. Just read it out loud with a faux german accent. It adds a certain level of ridiculousness to anything when appropriately used. I always use it when responding to a particular level of absurdity when the question of "Who would do it?" is involved. Who would decide on the criteria for things to be reviewed, ZE GERMANS? Who would decide what is and isn't too far, ZE GERMANS? Who would invade heartland America only to be beaten by teens, ZE GERMANS?...Okay, that was the commies, but still...shut up. I'll reference as many old movies as I damn well please. |

You are adorable. You truly, truly are. I love how, in your first statement, you expect others to find legitimate authenticity in your claims, despite giving no evidence to back them up. As I've said before, those who have had complaints with CAD have given viable, logical reasoning to their complaints, while those defending it have simply made blanket statements that they feel they don't need to defend. If you're going to claim something as vehemently as you are, you damn well better back it up. It's true PA isn't a fantastic webcomic by any means, but I still think it's a fairly good webcomic, while CAD generally lacks in quality. Honestly, I'm waiting for a CAD fan to say WHY they like CAD and to give it valid defense instead of saying "I like it, get over it." While this IS fine, if you're going to debate the quality of it over the internet, give us some reasoning behind why you think the way you do. As for your second comment, I think it helps show you as being one of the most precious pre-teen trolls in the world. Stay golden, Digi. Stay golden.
Yet you have time to come here and argue with people you think are simply kissing his ass. Seems to me like you're making time for the lesser of two options.
Holkins and Krahulik's contribution of Child's Play don't really have anything to do with the topic, unless you're aiming this statement at those who are also attacking Penny Arcade. In this case, it still doesn't have anything to do with the topic because, no matter how nice a pair of men Holkins and Krahulik are (and they seem like genuine gentlemen from their encounters with fans and how well they handle and shrug off, or even play with and use as a joke, criticism aimed at them), it still wouldn't effect the quality of their product. If some feel their comic to be of bad quality....well, that's their opinion, just like it is for those who think CAD to be of poor quality. Though, on a whole, I would argue that those who argue for CAD to be of bad quality have much more leeway in defending their opinion, given the evidence. As for CAD itself, something's caught my attention recently. I don't know how many others have seen it, but Buckley has been placing these little comics on the front page recently.
I...I don't know what to think. Despite it's utter simplicity, I actually think the look of it is far more endearing than the artstyle he uses for the comic proper. It's not especially detailed in for the full figure of the characters, but he actually makes the expressions seem more vivid for them then those in the actual comic. It's....actually not horrible to look at. And...he tells a joke without being so utterly and unnecessarily wordy. He actually allows, at least in this example, for the visual part of the medium to actually take part in the joke, instead of completely relying upon the script. He keeps it short and simple, and gets immediately down to the jab and leaves it at it. I'm scared guys.....I....I think I like this.... |
Press Junketeer Posts: 425 Joined: 4 Jul 2008 | That, my friend, is what CAD was like for the fanboys who read the newest comics and found a series of good one shots and didn't notice/didn't have a big enough archive to realize that it was all B up arrow U faces. |

Well in fairness, Eva probably wouldn't have become as popular or as memorable if he hadn't started it on on the darker path. And, to his credit, at least Anno made the transition to dark feel sort of natural by making it a somewhat gradual change (except for the final two episodes, which were a sudden and abrupt change, but that was mostly because of severe budget problems). Of course, in the end it's just yet another example of how Ctrl+Alt+Del completely failed its Cerebus Syndrome attempt. |
Isn't this a sign that the human race is on the fast-track to destruction?
Oh well, So long and thanks for all the fish
