  • braineater2448, on 03/09/2008, -16/+259Foxtrot is the best comic out there in this post-Calvin and Hobbes era.
    • bmdubya, on 03/09/2008, -4/+125Calvin and Hobbes is still, I think, the best comic ever. I know some people will think Peanuts is, but I don't care how long a comic is produced, that doesn't make it better. Calvin and Hobbes will always be a legend in my book.
      • Dysarthria, on 03/09/2008, -1/+18Quick points -

        1) Calvin and Hobbes is the best comic ever, that is the majority sentiment. Whats amazing is that it was drawn for only 10 years, and Watterson quit drawing it at the relatively young age of 37.

        2) FoxTrot is good, but it has been showing its age for the last decade. Everyone has a haircut straight from the 1980's, and it just has the look and feel of a comic from that era.

        3) Doonesbury sucks.
        • tech42er, on 03/09/2008, -0/+112) That's why people love it. It's nice to have an 80s-esque comic in the modern world. If you want something 21st century, check out XKCD, Alt-Ctrl-Del or PennyArcade.
          • Dysarthria, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1Oh, I agree with you; its instant nostalgia and I enjoy it. It will be strange when its gone, its the only comic left in the paper that I read as a kid.
          • GawtMilk, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1PBF Comics are hilarious too.

            http://www.pbfcomics.com/
      • TomRemixed, on 03/09/2008, -0/+8Really? I don't get that feel at all. In fact I think Fox Trot is one of the most current comics around due to stuff like this where they talk about SSBB.
        • Dysarthria, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3He keeps it current, but we're at the point now that the 80's hairdos look like 80's hairdos. Jason is the character who keep sit the most fresh.
      • Innominate227, on 03/10/2008, -1/+0I find Peanuts to be one of the worse comics ever.
        I honestly can not understand how any one has ever laughed at one.
    • Rikushix, on 03/09/2008, -2/+21Foxtrot is great; I used to devour the treasuries and books but I'm less inclined to now... it's really funny and the art is appealing but Amend doesn't quite have the originality needed to sustain the comic over a period of many years. Don't get me wrong, it's fantastic, but I'm not sure if it's the best comic since Calvin and Hobbes. It's definitely high up there though...has a spark to it that not many other comics have. It's kinda hard to compare when 90% of the comics out there are just plain drivel. There are definitely a few comics out there that are diamonds in the rough...Get Fuzzy and Zits are really good..

      Speaking of Calvin and Hobbes, if you haven't started reading Cul de Sac, you should. It's only a few months old (syndication wise), but Bill Waterson (the writer of Calvin and Hobbes, as you should know) has already endorsed it as one of his new favorite comics.
      • Mejari, on 03/09/2008, -0/+12Aah, the memories. I used to be Calvin, then I was Jason, then I was Jeremy from Zits, now... well, I'll probably be Dilbert in a few years >_
    • macbwizard, on 03/09/2008, -1/+46image from foxtrot site (not scanned): http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ft/2008/ft080309. ...
      • lightningrod220, on 03/10/2008, -0/+4You can read the sign on that one: "Strategy Guides 10% off". And in the final frame: "* with $500 purchase". That sums up the scammers that are video-game stores.
        • yacks, on 03/10/2008, -0/+2it's also in the same spot as where they Strategy Guide sign was.. :)
    • laserpig, on 03/09/2008, -2/+12I love Foxtrot... I was dismayed when he basically decided to call it quits.
      I know he still does the Sunday strips, but I don't know a single newspaper that carries them.
    • Akaji, on 03/09/2008, -0/+6I've not read much Foxtrot, but I may have to start... this was pretty good.
      I even like the little easter egg that the writer put in.
      • threemagic, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2He does that quite a bit.. it's one of the comics endearing factors.
      • BlueSkyfish, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3If you look at the shelf in the background, you see boxes of Xboxs and Playstations. Wiis are apparently sold out.
    • DemDude, on 03/09/2008, -0/+4We're on digg, and people have not yet revolted because of this xkcd blasphemy?!
      *marks date in the calendar*
    • Bisclavret, on 03/09/2008, -3/+4Zits FTW. Sure it's pretty much a copy cat of Calvin and Hobbes but with teenage characters but nothing captures the stupid crap teenagers do perfectly than that. It was something I could totally relate to while I was in high school and a few years during university.
    • Poochyfud, on 03/09/2008, -0/+6Pearls Before Swine is amazing.
      • OhROFL, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3Indeed. I don't know how wide the publication is though... definitely not as wide as Foxtrot. Equally amazing I would say.
      • TaylorSmythe, on 03/10/2008, -0/+2It's funny, but resorts to lowbrow gags quite often.
      • mrASSMAN, on 03/10/2008, -2/+1The funniest comic I've seen is the webcomic Cyanide & Happiness.
      • FullmetalGinta, on 03/10/2008, -0/+0Amen
    • themastersb, on 03/09/2008, -3/+1How did the little sign under the register change so suddenly?
    • Gratefuldead, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3boondocks
    • XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, on 03/09/2008, -2/+1frazz
    • opiniastrous, on 03/10/2008, -1/+1No way. Non Sequitur is right up there, right on C&H's tail. Foxtrot has nothing on them.
    • gatorsrule21, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1I second the Frazz nomination by XXXXXXXXXXXXX. Our local paper (Denver) has stopped supplying Foxtrot, which used to be my favorite, but I would take Frazz over Foxtrot any day.
    • joel8x, on 03/10/2008, -2/+3Digg me down, but newspaper comics suck. That was not funny. It was just there. Ever since Charles Shultz set the bar so low for comedy in comics, there have been few standouts (Calvin and Hobbes was insightful).
      • HoratioHellpop, on 03/10/2008, -0/+0//Digg me down, but newspaper comics suck// Obliged, and awaiting your contribution to the medium ...
    • thefangedrabbit, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1Far Side is, in my opinion, right below Calvin and Hobbes on the all time list. I still like Dilbert, even if it's getting a little older. Frazz, Pearls before Swine and Get Fuzzy are all good too.
    • rayzha, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1Pearls Before Swine is one of my current favorites =]
    • kewidogg, on 03/10/2008, -0/+2Ok I better not be too old, but Far Side anyone? Gimme a break, you can't beat Far Side. Calvin and Hobbes is/was good, Dilbert is good, but Far Side was by far the best.
  • skippy17, on 03/09/2008, -3/+85"Have you picked up the Brawl yet? If not, what are you waiting for!"

    .... midnight....
    • tech42er, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3Well, it's a Sunday comic. But that's a good point. It reminds me of those stupid Sunday ads that come on Saturday and boast "BRAWL NOW IN STORES!!! COME BUY IT TODAY!!!" when it doesn't come out until the next day.

      /finally picked up my pre-order
      //yay!
  • wontstoptalking, on 03/09/2008, -6/+32God, I love Foxtrot. They even covered the iPhone when it came out.
    • theaceoffire, on 03/09/2008, -1/+9"Its a phone! And It plays music! WooO!"
    • Gamer2k4, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2Hmm...does Jason even have a Wii?
    • ApokalypseNow, on 03/09/2008, -0/+7They also covered the "All your base" fad.
      Fortunately, they did NOT cover 2girls1cup
  • wontstoptalking, on 03/09/2008, -1/+389Strategy guides 10% of*.....
    *with $500 purchase

    They must be at Gamestop.
    • sobe86, on 03/09/2008, -3/+60Seriously who still buys strategy guides? Are there really that many people out there who are not aware of the internet?
      • Ellipsys, on 03/09/2008, -0/+24I have an affinity for pretty art books and full color maps, especially for Japanese RPGs. Also, any game in which you need a degree in differential calculus to play (Disgaea - Its like math, with evil penguins!) it helps to have charts for advancement and such.
        • Akaji, on 03/09/2008, -13/+8So, basically, you liked ruining the game for yourself? Half the purpose of most RPGs is to find all the secrets!
          • Ellipsys, on 03/09/2008, -1/+21My gameplay experience is ruined when halfway through the game I realize that I lost the chance for the secret ending because I didn't trade widget A to wandering merchant B in the first town, after the second cinematic but before the third. I don't want a walkthrough and I don't want the plot spoiled for me (which is really why I play jRPGs), but I do like to have some "hints" so that I don't miss any side quests and the like.
      • codered1322, on 03/10/2008, -0/+2Please tell me more about this internets.
    • adml_shake, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2That was the first thing that went through my mind too. You'd think they had some sort of "reputation" or something.
    • TheMime, on 03/09/2008, -0/+9I wonder if they've got Battletoads in stock. Maybe I should call them up.
      • tacojohn48, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1I still have battletoads. I had to get a fc twin to play my old nes games.
    • hammburglar, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2that guy does look like every gamestop employee ive seen. and they always treat me like im a dumbass. i hate em. (insert obvious comment, something like hammburg your *are* a dumbass)
      • jiveturkeyblues, on 03/09/2008, -1/+3they're always really, really, really nice to me.

        ...but i think that's because i'm a 20 year old girl.
        • theeldest, on 03/10/2008, -0/+3Liar!

          You expect me to believe that someone at a game store was "really, really, really nice" to you? That was obviously an exaggeration of a clerk being "really, really nice"
          • hammburglar, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1yeah that and the lie about being a 20 year old girl
        • GRVeee2, on 03/11/2008, -0/+2HA! thats a good one, jiveturkeyblues. We all know women can't use the internet
    • DivisibleByZero, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2The subtleties are always the best. I like the big empty spot on the shelf between the PS3s and 360s.
  • bubbakja, on 03/09/2008, -9/+39The only comic that actually put java code to wake up in a cup of coffee when dad asked for a cup of java!
    • br0wnstar, on 03/09/2008, -0/+80You are good at sentences.
    • bigpete591, on 03/09/2008, -7/+47Bubbakja, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
      • IndigoMoss, on 03/09/2008, -2/+16Finally someone that uses that when it's supposed to be used. Bravo my friend, bravo.
      • prophetpimp, on 03/09/2008, -1/+22I miss the Days when Adam Sandler was actually funny. :(
      • GRVeee2, on 03/11/2008, -0/+1read that... we didn't listen to it, we read that...
  • shyner, on 03/09/2008, -3/+49I'll digg Foxtrot any day.
    • geoboy, on 03/09/2008, -1/+30Even on "digg Foxtrot and die" day?
      • str1fe, on 03/10/2008, -0/+2I would digg Foxtrot on "digg Foxtrot and die" day.
      • Cyber_Akuma, on 03/10/2008, -1/+1They are really scrambling to invent new event days arent they?
  • Elliottx, on 03/09/2008, -41/+12Funny Factor - 0

    *Watches the digg-downs*
    • braineater2448, on 03/09/2008, -5/+25You were referring to your own post, right?
      • Elliottx, on 03/09/2008, -12/+9Yessir.
        • braineater2448, on 03/09/2008, -1/+11Oh ok. Just making sure.
          • SurrealDream, on 03/09/2008, -15/+3To counter the baffling politeness of the above exchange, I feel the need to make the following ejaculation:
            *****!

            ...That is all.
          • Elliottx, on 03/09/2008, -8/+21It's amazing how much Digg is turning into that cesspool of a web "Community" we all know and hate. 4Chan.
          • Linkin4, on 03/09/2008, -4/+4You're no ***** prize either, Elliot.
  • evanstapler, on 03/09/2008, -5/+297I was waiting at my local Walmart when a guy with a group of his friend walks up. This "guy" was wearing a Digg sweatshirt. Now, I was around sixth in line. Him and his buddies, who strolled in around 11:00 PM (I began waiting at 9:30) met with friends in front of me. At the end, I was around fourteenth in line due to you and your asshole buddies. If you're reading this, then I have just one thing to say: Tell your friends that memes are ONLY funny on the internet, and the internet alone.
    • DarkSamus, on 03/09/2008, -2/+274should've buried him
    • Lyph5, on 03/09/2008, -7/+47They're your typical newfags. Just discovered meme and spout it off like crazy trying to get some lulz from oldfags. There isn't much you can do except give them The Silent Stare. Or call them *****. Either one.
      • KingBabi, on 03/09/2008, -0/+5Edit: sarcasm detector didn't register, dugg you down thinking you were just horribly hypocritical.
    • peznex, on 03/09/2008, -63/+4That was me but YOU were the one wearing the rainbow gay pride sweatshirt.
      I'm sorry you don't have friends.
      • Akaji, on 03/09/2008, -1/+40Good comeback. I can tell he's going to be crying himself to bed for weeks over that one.
        /s
      • RomulusX86, on 03/09/2008, -1/+17Way to be a douche dude.
      • BlueSkyfish, on 03/09/2008, -2/+24He may be gay, but you're a faggot.
      • evanstapler, on 03/09/2008, -0/+25Do you really think I would be offended by this if a gay pride flag is my icon?
    • Hobbes24, on 03/09/2008, -0/+12tell them they can't cut in line, i had some people try that on my when i was in line for a 360

      i started raising ***** with the workers, and they sent them to the back
    • tech42er, on 03/09/2008, -11/+3It's one thing if he's screaming 4chan memes or handing out pictures of lolcats, but just wearing a Digg sweatshirt. Lots of people wear sweatshirts from their schools and clubs and such; why shouldn't people wear Digg and XKCD sweatshirts?
      • Namaha, on 03/09/2008, -0/+14I believe his reference to memes only being funny on the internet was because, throughout the waiting in line, them and their buddies were spouting them left and right.
    • kentifer, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3i want a moot shirt. where the o's are hearts.
    • melonhedd, on 03/09/2008, -3/+12They aren't funny on the internet, either....
      • Sawta, on 03/09/2008, -1/+8You know what, no. They ARE funny. But they can be retroactively unfunny. It's all a matter of how the meme ages; e.g. lolcats vs WHY AM I SO BALD?
    • dafragsta, on 03/10/2008, -0/+4I've been at SXSW all weekend. TEH MEMEZ R OUT OF TEH BAGZ! ... and into the wild and it's taking the fun out of them.

      BTW, my boss and co-workers went to get get beers on Friday and guess who set down beside me in the floor while i was de-***** my swag bag, but Kevin *****' Rose. That was pretty much the highlight of SXSW so far for me. I'm a bit underwhelmed but maybe I'm just not doin' it right.
  • LogitechG15, on 03/09/2008, -5/+14Walked into Walmart this morning at 8:30. They had tons of copies, bought SSBB and a Classic Controller. Been playing for two hours now, great game.
    • heavystone, on 03/09/2008, -3/+5Just how many is "tons"?
      • LogitechG15, on 03/09/2008, -0/+5Around thirty I would say, take into consideration that this was at 8:30 in the morning, even after the midnight launch party.
      • timewarp424, on 03/09/2008, -0/+12In increments of 2000lbs
      • Syphon8, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2Mine had ~25 copies.
      • Sawta, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3A whole boat load. A boat load is more than, "a ***** lot" but less than "a ***** ton".
    • doctornkul, on 03/09/2008, -4/+1Target is a bunch of lying time-wasters. I look at their website, it says available. Since I love Nintendo, I run there at 10 am, and they don't have any copies and they never got any.
      • tech42er, on 03/09/2008, -3/+2Next time, pre-order. I pre-ordered two copies from Gamestop a week ago and just had to pick them up today. No sweat.
    • diskit, on 03/09/2008, -8/+8Buried for shopping at Walmart
      • Shawn4168, on 03/09/2008, -2/+6Buried for being a miserable douchebag that thinks he's better than others because he refuses to adhere to the fundamental concepts of capitalism.
        • Sawta, on 03/09/2008, -3/+4But the fundamental concepts of capitalism IS to think that you're better than others (and be a miserable douche bag).
    • ilikefun, on 03/09/2008, -0/+4Well, i'm glad you took time away to post on digg. Thank you very much!
    • BlueSkyfish, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2I went to Gamestop first, and they were completely sold out. Then, I went to a larger Gamestop and they had about 15 behind the shelf, but they were for reserve only. Then I went to Target and they had about 8-10 of them left, so I just picked one of them up there. This was at about 1pm today.
    • TBobes, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3Try Best Buy, we got about 100 copies in, and still had about 50 left as of an hour ago.
    • soulpiercer7, on 03/10/2008, -2/+1also buried for shopping at Walmart.
  • McBadger, on 03/09/2008, -13/+2"Strategy guide 10% off...w/ $500.00 purchase", sounds about right, lol.
  • happyfundave, on 03/09/2008, -1/+70Here is a link that lead to some money getting to Bill Amend and is of better quality.
    http://www.gocomics.com/foxtrot/2008/03/09/
  • michelsonmorley, on 03/09/2008, -18/+3So the sign under cashier changed? "Strategy guides 10% off" and "With $200 purchase" are in exactly the same spot underneath the cashier. Maybe it's a cloud-hill thing?
    • TGDuff, on 03/09/2008, -0/+10A wizard did it.
    • ZenMojo, on 03/09/2008, -0/+5It's meta-text. Self-referential to the fact that it is a comic strip with narrative boxes and has a sign placed in a convenient spot for narrative boxes with an asterisk (*) which is typical narrative box usage. And it's an easy side-joke.
    • lojomofo, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2Go read Krazy Kat if wanna find changes from panel to panel. Krazy Kat is the *****. What's funnier than being a mouse and throwing bricks at the head of the one cat who's smitten by you? Also, go check out a large print version of Little Nemo's Adventure's in Slumberland from the early 1900's. Seriously, genius.
    • MattM462, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1Have you ever read Foxtrot comics before? Happens all the time....
  • mooseofshadows, on 03/09/2008, -15/+10Foxtrot is not nearly as good as it once was.
    • alittleroy101, on 03/09/2008, -1/+4Not sure why you are getting dugg down. When it fist came out is was laugh out loud funny. I read and reread every one of the collections when I was a child. Now the comic just isn't as funny. The old ones still are great too.
      • threemagic, on 03/09/2008, -1/+4did it ever occur to you that maybe you are just getting older?
        • alittleroy101, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1"The old ones still are great too."
          Yes it did occur to me, and it even occurred to me that someone would come to that conclusion. So when I wrote that comment I thoughtfully included that last sentence.
          • threemagic, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1RIght but the older ones maybe great because of nostalgia.. not because your humor level is the same.
          • alittleroy101, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1OK, I see.
  • SonicPower, on 03/09/2008, -0/+13Why Gamestop sucks.

    Perfect comic.
  • mooseofshadows, on 03/09/2008, -3/+72Oh, also, why scan it when you could just use the original image?

    http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ft/2008/ft080309. ...
    • hotpuck6, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1agreed,
      but that looks more like someone took a picture of it since the upper corner is darker and bent.
      people do some weird things.
    • Metis2be, on 03/09/2008, -1/+2Because the colors in the original hurt my eyes.
  • jonhowe, on 03/09/2008, -18/+9That wasn't funny at all.

    Why did it feel the need to explain its own joke?
  • drfritz, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2Walked into a Meijer at 10:30, 1 1/2 hours later each of my friends and I all walked out with a copy. We then played for 5 hours straight. Such an awesome game.
  • bradcrc, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2for great justice!
  • xlar54, on 03/09/2008, -17/+27Is this game overrated? Ive played the Gamecube and N64 versions and it gets rather boring and repetitive at times. Whats new in the Wii version that makes it a better game?
    • boxybrzown, on 03/09/2008, -11/+19Wow, that statement applies to basically every single Wii game released so far
      *ducks (and yes, I own a Wii)*
    • JonTheGoose, on 03/09/2008, -8/+14uhhhhh more characters, more items, more stages, more trophies + stickers and oh.... i dunno, maybe

      ONLINE MULTIPLAY!!!!!!
    • BedPost, on 03/09/2008, -3/+35Direct injection of methamphetamines.
    • Futurejunior, on 03/09/2008, -0/+24They get boring sober and alone. Add beer and some friends and they become amazing again!
      • spatulacity, on 03/09/2008, -7/+1So...something is only fun if you add alcohol and friends?

        Wouldn't that mean it's the alcohol and friends that are fun, not the game?
        • geniusj, on 03/09/2008, -2/+3Look up the word 'complementary' ;-)
      • Sawta, on 03/09/2008, -0/+8Isn't the whole point of Digg that you don't have any friends to start with?
      • mrASSMAN, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1All games become fun with beer..
      • eNyoron, on 03/11/2008, -0/+0Anything becomes fun with beer and friends....

        We spent all Saturday in whited-out Ohio jumping off the roof!
    • Syphon8, on 03/09/2008, -8/+1ON. LINE.
    • A14049752, on 03/09/2008, -1/+4I think the same could be said about most sequels, especially fighting games. I personally don't like the Smash Bros series at all (I'm more a Tekken fanboy), but I know LOTS of other people that absolutely love it. As long as there is a fan base, there will be sequels like this with more characters, different moves and better graphics.
      • melonhedd, on 03/09/2008, -2/+2They forgot the better graphics this time around.
        • tidu, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1wrong. This game looks a lot better than Melee. Still not 360/ps3 quality, but they've got some better effects in there like ice climbers fur and DK's hair.
          • onineko, on 03/11/2008, -0/+1Don't forget Kirby's... umm.... yeah....
    • BlueSkyfish, on 03/09/2008, -0/+6If you didn't like the previous ones, you're not going to like this one. I know a lot of people that play melee up to this day, and those are the kind of people that will love this game.
    • rugabug, on 03/10/2008, -2/+1Yea my girlfriend just called me and said how disapointed she was in the game. The wiimote is not utilized. Not worth the hype.
      • kyouteki, on 03/10/2008, -0/+2Does a game really have to have waggle controls to make it worth buying?
      • onyxromantic, on 03/10/2008, -0/+0I agree. Played the game over my friend's house after he just bought it...and shut it off after an hour. I loved Melee, but it just wasn't the same. I have no reason to get a Wii anymore.
      • matt.rubin, on 03/10/2008, -1/+1thats why u use the gamecube controller....................
  • rikwakefield, on 03/09/2008, -7/+1Ha ha. Good one. :-)
  • Prombar, on 03/09/2008, -10/+1my friend went at 12:00 to go get it but it was never 12:00 because we had to move our clocks froward so he went at 1:00?
    • theartfuldodgr, on 03/09/2008, -0/+16You move them forward at 2am.
    • Darmichar, on 03/09/2008, -0/+5How did moving the clocks forward at 2am (like you are supposed to) effect you at midnight?
      Is this game so powerful it tears the time/space continuum, or were you just trying to be clever and failed miserably?
    • tech42er, on 03/09/2008, -1/+1The clocks change at 2:00 am. The game came out at 12:00 am. So, you could get it from 12:00-1:59 am and from 3:00 am onwards.
  • homersaysdoh, on 03/09/2008, -11/+2I am a year old Nintendo fanboy for life. Owned every Nintendo console. Camped out for my wii on the launch date but I don't see what all the hype is about this game.....What am I missing?
    • Textzilla, on 03/09/2008, -0/+9you've obviously never gotten 4 friends and a cube together
    • foofightrs777, on 03/09/2008, -1/+3a sense of excitement and anticipation? friends? a brain?
    • darlingt, on 03/09/2008, -0/+7You're a year old? Congratulations on your decent sentences; they're actually readable.
  • camilos007, on 03/09/2008, -36/+7"The most anticipated game in the universe" ?

    If you're a pre-pubescent teen, maybe. The rest of us are more excited about games like Fallout 3, Metal Gear Solid and Ninja Gaiden 2.
    • MosaicM, on 03/09/2008, -18/+3Yeah, not sure what the hell was up with "most anticipated game in the universe". I've never played a smash brothers and honestly have no desire to. I'd much rather have KOTOR3 or like you said, Fallout3.
      • kiiwii, on 03/09/2008, -0/+20Sorry you don't like fun.
      • chrislee149, on 03/09/2008, -1/+10Maybe you should play it so you're educated and know what the hell is up with "most anticipated game in the universe", then.
    • Pschkqitzsough, on 03/09/2008, -0/+9You've never played it, so how do you know it is not fun?
      • camilos007, on 03/09/2008, -5/+1You know what? You're absolutely right. I haven't played it, and I'm probably wrong and it actually IS a fun game.
        But I just can't see myself playing a game with characters like Pikachu, Kirby and King Dedede.

        I know I'm in the minority here, but do you understand where I'm coming from? It would be like playing Oblivion or Mass Effect with Mickey Mouse as the main character. To me, It just wouldn't be the same.
        • pyro789x, on 03/09/2008, -0/+4You haven't played kingdom hearts either, have you? You're not a 'gamer', real gamers play games when they're fun, not just because all your friends will think you're cool because you spend your time playing a cool character shooting manly man bullets of testosterone and yelling at your TV screen -- scratch that, Xbox live microphone -- every time you get killed.
    • FullmetalGinta, on 03/10/2008, -0/+0oops I accidentally digged u, I meant 2 bury you, so remember you really have -26 not -24 diggs.
      I feel the need to inform you that.
  • MosaicM, on 03/09/2008, -21/+9Umm, excuse me The most anticipated game in the universe? I think Spore would like a word with you.
    • Akaji, on 03/09/2008, -6/+5I think Spore would get its ass kicked.
    • Syphon8, on 03/09/2008, -4/+6Spore? I think StarCraft II would like a word with you.
    • Xanaver, on 03/09/2008, -1/+12I think Duke Nukem Forever is the most anticipated game in the universe.
    • hotpuck6, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3Spore, Starcraft II? really? i think (Insert over hyped game here) will beat everything!!!
    • verkon, on 03/09/2008, -1/+1Spore?
  • cramjomlin, on 03/09/2008, -6/+9I work at Gamestop...and sadly enough, thats how things go.
    • 1stJonnyDee, on 03/10/2008, -0/+3What? People coming in with their centuries-old pre-order slips?
  • piouspeter, on 03/09/2008, -7/+2Hey, foxtrot covering something like this with a non-humorous situation? How unlike everything they've ever done!

    /sarcasm
  • freakgd, on 03/09/2008, -1/+2i kinda bought it on friday with out having to go on a line at my local game store.
    • hotpuck6, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2i walked into costco today and they literally had 50 copies and it was only $42.
      fortunately they are usually good like that with new releases, especially when a GS won't fork over anything new until 3 days after it releases with no pre-order.
      • tech42er, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1That;s because people who actually want the game pre-order it. And so many people pre-order it they can't sell it at point-of-sale.
  • SkaKidDan, on 03/09/2008, -0/+4Should have had a: **And Gamestop Membership Club Card
    HeeHee.
  • Laughto, on 03/09/2008, -8/+2Not funny
  • diskit, on 03/09/2008, -1/+6My receipt is so old it's chiseled in stone.
  • monkeysaurus, on 03/09/2008, -1/+18"If not, what are you waiting for!"
    A European release date?
    • rupertd, on 03/10/2008, -0/+4A-*****-men. An Australian release date would also be nice. How hard is it to send over one master DVD to a manufacturer SOMEWHERE in Oceania and PRINT THE ***** GAME FOR US?1
      • CrudeDarkness, on 03/10/2008, -0/+2what about a middle eastern release date? we get things here after the australians do.

        oh and to add salt to injury, we don't have xbox live, play station network, or wii connect (or whatever it's called). please don't complain. It makes it harder for us to wait.
  • rsm5068, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2This is why I love Foxtrot, and miss the daily strips.
  • AndrewDB, on 03/09/2008, -0/+4Marth, Luigi, Snake and Ness are all unlocked on my copy already. :]

    Fantastic game and it's so ridiculously addictive.
  • chamberlanderic, on 03/09/2008, -1/+2dugg for : "10% off strategy guides"
  • simusid, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3$son[0] was home from gamespot at 12:14 with several friends in tow. They played until 5:30 this morning, then all fell asleep. They woke up at about 9 and have been playing since then (4:20 pm)
  • elfprince13, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1*I* am waiting for a Wii.
    • pyro789x, on 03/09/2008, -1/+1sadly enough, I have a Wii but haven't bought it because I neglected to bring an actual TV to my dorm room.
  • Skurt, on 03/09/2008, -3/+1Calvin and Hobbs, still the best comic ever...

    And what is with the Worst Goatee' ever in a comic? Took me 5 min to figure out what the hell was on that guy's face?
    • CaptQuark, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1I agree about the Goatee. At first I thought the guy behind the counter was sucking on a pacifier, ala Maggie Simpson.
  • Fritzed, on 03/09/2008, -0/+5http://www.FoxTrot.com
  • DanPlainview, on 03/09/2008, -2/+0You guys don't even want to know about all the prostitutes I had to murder to get my copy of Brawl...
  • DeadPlasmaCell, on 03/09/2008, -0/+3Funny strip. Luckily SSBB isn't one of those games you have to pre-order. I went to Target, BestBuy & GS and they all had dozens and dozens of copies available.
  • sdigroup, on 03/09/2008, -11/+4Smash bros is overrated... excuse me while i'll play Soul Caliber on my Dreamcast............
    • johnmatias, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1You only think that because you can't see how awesome SSBB is all the back there in 2001.
    • FullmetalGinta, on 03/10/2008, -0/+0Says the caveman.
  • rollerboy, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1wow that is funny. didn't expect that.
  • Sublime815, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1i wonder if the game with the tie fighter on it is any good.
  • korkas, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1Still a little sad that Amend decided to cease daily publication - I loves my Foxtrot.
    • MattM462, on 03/10/2008, -2/+1I loves when we's uses correct grammar...
  • kalrhael, on 03/10/2008, -1/+2Predictable and lame.
  • iMoth, on 03/10/2008, -0/+2that was about as funny as dilbert.
  • owen87, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1we got it last night, been playing all day, the best smash bros yet

    we left a party early to pick it up and were wasted when we got to gamestop. needless to say we scared a lot of kids and probably their parents and then proceeded to play the worst game of smash bros ever before passing out
    • zombietuba, on 03/10/2008, -1/+0Wow, you and your friends are incredibly cool. I so want to hang out with you guys!
  • nytejade, on 03/10/2008, -2/+3Not funny at all.
  • soulpiercer7, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1me and my friend walked into Fry's Electronics to get our copies when it opened at 9 (we didn't camp out or anything). they brought out 5 boxes full of them, each one containing about 25 copies. piece of cake.
  • TizzleDizz, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1Pre-ordered a week ago, picked it up today.
    The lady just grabbed me on from a giant stack. o.O
