That comic looks like a Penny Arcade rip-off

It sorta does, I agree. I also didn't find it as funny as everyone else apparently did, but to each his own. Congrats to them.

Oh Noes a webcomic, about video games, it must be a PA rip-off!
If you actually look at 'em their art styles are very different.
My current fav art style (for a webcomic) is "Another Videogame Webcomic" though the jokes are a bit hollow.

Penny Arcade makes gobs of money for 9 panels of expletives a week, people are bound to copy it, art style and all.

@deanb: Their art styles look extremely similar to me. Before I looked at the first guy's eyes I thought it WAS Penny Arcade since I only took a glance.

I agree. They use the same type of boxes, coloring, and fonts. They're copying Penny-Arcade stylistically.

That's what I thought. The art style looks way too similar for it to not be a rip-off.

And how does that make you feel? You could have mowed the lawn, grilled out for the 4th, aired out your computer, walked the dog, washed the laundry... you could've done something productive today and actually reaped some sort of benefit.

I thought the ultimate irony was when they made the joke about review scores being tied into how many adverts for the game are being run on the site.

you act like trolling is somehow above being a moron that thinks he is special for getting the first post

you're still just doing something stupid to get attention one way or the other, you can sit there behind your desk thinking you've fooled everyone or something, but in reality you are just a moron with nothing better to do

"smart does not equal mature."

But it leads to it and one who is smart enough knows that sacrificing your intelligence for something as stupid as the "first!" comment just for a laugh that will never happen is just that: stupid.

And he must be really stupid to let someone else fight his battles.

you realize that just posting "OMG FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!111111 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL" isn't the same as trolling, right?

Trolls usually say something more..."intelligent" than the "first" comment, on matter in fact most if not all trolls know that the comment leads to certain downvoting or worse.

And what mission was this?

That if you post 'first', people call you retarded? Perhaps for your next mission you should try putting your hand on the stove and seeing if heat burns things.

if you hate the guy so much (which is obvious from how you describe him in your posts) why do you continue to follow him like a lap dog?

"And no he doesn't have the attention span of a butterfly, he's a goddamm genius"

Im failing to see how these apples fair in a side by side comparison to these oranges

"he even called me up to look at everyone's pissed reactions"

the ironing of how even YOU fell for this is amazing

You were nearly in tears by reading that webcomic? I wish I could be that easily amused.

Picking the best gaming webcomic is like trying to pick the best kind of STD.
