- SwornPacifist, on 07/02/2008, -15/+386The miscarriage comics that Yahtzee made fun of are from Ctrl+Alt+Del, and here's the "dramatic" point of the story:

Yahtzee totally nailed it, CAD really f'd up a decent formula and showed how much of a sub-par Penny Arcade clone it really is. - Typhoon2009, on 07/02/2008, -28/+311This parody is better than most Ctrl+Alt+Del comics:

Now I finally understand THIS:

Had no idea what to make of it until I saw your post! - hamstu, on 07/02/2008, -10/+199I'm going to play it safe by NOT starting a web comic.
- gr33nie, on 07/02/2008, -4/+148I can see why The Escapist feels the need to put adverts for their other shows on the end of Yahtzee, becasue if they didn't nobody would watch them. Ever.
- kinseyincanada, on 07/02/2008, -2/+114so its safe to assume that he doesnt like CAD
- ozkr, on 07/02/2008, -8/+101I beg to differ:
http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/8121/36uo8dg7.j ... - Aharoni, on 07/02/2008, -7/+97Zero Punctuation: Webcomics? sounds more like Zero Punctuation: CAD?
Miscarriage, too much text, the comic maker acting like an ass... - bigfatpaulie, on 07/02/2008, -6/+89Liar. CAD never had a decent formula.
- BlackTye, on 07/02/2008, -29/+111If he didn't include the "Very much aware of the hypocrisy" bit at the end, I may have had an issue with this one.
- bigfatpaulie, on 07/02/2008, -14/+90That was simply brilliant. Epic CAD hate.
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -7/+83Why? It's hardly hypocrisy when someone who IS funny attacks people who AREN'T. He put in the "hypocrisy" thing solely as a means of heading of people like you, who seem to believe that EVERYTHING is "hypocrisy".
- Mewchu11, on 07/02/2008, -1/+71So, how would have any other webcomic tackled this issue?
They wouldn't. At least no comic that intends to be funny. It's just not something you do.
It's like having the main female character getting raped in an alleyway or something. Yes it could happen but it's not SUPPOSE to happen in a world of [attempted] joy and laughter - sloo, on 07/02/2008, -2/+70Yeah, the whole speech bubble is what he said in the news post. Just no class, at all.
Cyanide and Happiness >>>>>>> CAD - Tyrghast, on 07/02/2008, -5/+70Yeah I was in the 'prick' crowd on the CAD forums, calling it the easy way out having to work another regular character in and blah blah blah. The worst part is Tim's lack of ability to accept criticism, its always "I can do what I want and you can go read something else".
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -4/+63Wow that was extremely depressing..
- 171ContriteArc, on 07/02/2008, -3/+49"handled in a good, mature way"
He spent about five strips dealing with the aftermath of the tragedy, and now he's going back to cracking lame about PS3s and robotic intelligences.
Give the man a Pulitzer. - cr3ative, on 07/02/2008, -3/+50Well, hello. ;)
Fancy a bumming? - brstilson, on 07/02/2008, -5/+50lol at "filthy bitch womb"
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -1/+45Mostly cause XKCD isn't a gaming comic
- DarkShroud, on 07/02/2008, -24/+67For some reason I still read Ctrl+Alt+Del casually but somehow it's actually managed to go downhill.
Still this was a good one. http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php?d=20070 ... - mhuggins, on 07/02/2008, -4/+46Wow, did I just get a one-way ticket to hell for dying of laughter while reading that?
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -3/+45Nope
- punkcat, on 07/02/2008, -1/+41dont encourage him.
- navster15, on 07/02/2008, -16/+56Penny Arcade did it better:
http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/09/14/ - planksconstant, on 07/02/2008, -1/+40who said anything about XKCD?
- joemofo214, on 07/02/2008, -4/+42explosm is the best webcomic out there. i love it
- MasterGrief, on 07/02/2008, -0/+38I don't think he was making fun of XKCD, man...
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -1/+39The drawn by pain thing at the end looks retarded.
- Trifold, on 07/02/2008, -0/+36The best webcomic characters evolve? Really? I was always of the opinion that the best webcomic characters are funny.
- willy1234x1, on 07/02/2008, -5/+41XKCD isn't a gaming comic dumbass.
- fatb0y42, on 07/02/2008, -2/+36cyanide and happiness ftww :)
- Otto, on 07/02/2008, -3/+36Dude, it's a comic strip. Why have your main characters have to deal with any sort of real-life issues in the first ***** place?
The problem wasn't the miscarriage, the problem was the author thinking that it would be a good idea to get one of his main characters pregnant. It's not funny. It's not humorous. Your characters do not have to "grow". They're characters.
Hell, nobody liked when Bill Watterson or Charles Shultz did that sort of ***** either, what makes the author think he's any different? - mbraynard, on 07/02/2008, -4/+35No, no it's not.
And to quote Jerry Seinfeld, profanity is a 'short cut' in humor. - lowfalls, on 07/02/2008, -9/+40Next week, Yahtzee reviews the 1992 Camp David Oslo (sp?) Accords.
- jack_of_knaves, on 07/02/2008, -1/+32Well, Yahtzee wasn't generalizing per se. It's more that he couldn't title it "Zero Punctuation: Ctrl+Alt+Del" So he went with the less direct but easily distinguishable title. It's easy to understand when you know what exactly he's referencing.
- rblancarte, on 07/02/2008, -2/+33Congratulations, you get a bury.
- Linkin4, on 07/02/2008, -7/+38Yeah they ***** up, abortions are way more funny.
- arjung, on 07/02/2008, -4/+35wow, CAD used to be so good, too. I stopped reading long before Ethan proposed to Lilah, but that is a stupid plotline for a webcomic about video games.
- ozkr, on 07/02/2008, -0/+30The worst part of adding those ***** ads for ***** shows at the end of the video is the fact that they kinda fool you into believing the actual Yahtzee video is like 7 minutes long.
- Elliuotatar, on 07/02/2008, -6/+36He didn't say web comic, he said video game web comic!
- metalsiren, on 07/02/2008, -2/+31I'm surprised no one mentioned http://badwebcomics.blogspot.com/2007/06/ctrlaltde ...
- mbraynard, on 07/02/2008, -4/+31Other than bad illustration, XKCD avoids ALL of the conventions that Y is ridiculing.
- Mewchu11, on 07/02/2008, -21/+47The is going to set off an internet drama bomb of epic proportions...
Awesome. - alexforcefive, on 07/02/2008, -3/+27You know what they should have done, take the high road like WWE did and just have Kane kick the bitch in the womb
- CyberSol, on 07/02/2008, -31/+52You know, for once I would like to see a normal comments section on a zero punctuation submission. Is there some sort of unwritten rule that all comments about zero punctuation must be:
1. must be really stupid
2. about how the comments suck (like this comment)
3. about comments that are usual comments (generic fanboi comment)
4. other stuff that happens more often in here then other places.
I liked this weeks video, and I think he makes a few valid points on the way web comics are perceived. My only beef its that if you don't like the web comic then you don't have to look at it, you can go somewhere else. I wonder if Yahtzee will review/analyze other media forms now? - takuansoho, on 07/02/2008, -1/+22Your username is "trusttimothy" and the comic is done by Timothy Buckley. Hmmmmm...
- bluetytanium, on 07/02/2008, -14/+35***** YOU VGCATS IS AWESOME
- xsidekick409, on 07/02/2008, -7/+28At first I thought he was going to rag on penny-arcade, and I was going to have to completely disagree.
Penny-arcade's formula works because they have a great writer and a great artist, and they've been doing it forever. - rakous, on 07/02/2008, -0/+21I have no idea what 'ghey' is but I must be it.
