Readers pick best webcomic: Kinder Surprise

@johnegold I like saying dropping a link too. So I'm gonna drop a link right here.

(And I've always wanted to see Dinosaur Comics in the WWW and this one's about video games.)

@Nap This is why I won't play TF2 anymore. With all the useless hats and now the equivalent of a cash shop, it's becoming a Korean MMO.

@Tinkus
So..why exactly you dont play TF2 anymore?
What those useless hats and shop have to do with the gameplay?

@Tinkus

Let me point something out here for you though. What costs money in TF2 are hats and other little items that have little impact on the game. What they give out for free is: maps, game types, bosses(?!) and a medieval times game variant (era not the theme restaurant) all with promises of continued support.

So you don't play because...you want hats...but don't want to pay for them...and this annoys you.

It's like what happened to WoW. The community asked for server transfers and faction/race changes forever, and when Blizzard added they suddenly became "greedy".

You can't please everyone, SPECIALLY on the internet.

@Enn I don't know if you were complaining at the comic or just gamers in general, but if it was the comic...I think he was just making a joke about how common it is to get a weapon you already have.

The same thing happened to me :(

@ShiroShishi Both. The corresponding blog to this comic was basically a giant rant about how "evil" Valve is, also taking digs at the treasure hunt event, another thing he clearly failed to comprehend, given that the wishlists were required so that even participating in the free challenges of the day could win you prizes. Once again - Don't like the event? DON'T PARTICIPATE. It's like magic!

I've gotten items I've already had too, and it is disappointing. So I trade them, or I craft them. When I get crates, which have the potential items listed in the description, if I don't like my odds, I'll save it and use it to trade later. Having the option to open them does not make the corporation evil. Grab-bags are fun, and trade-fodder is useful. Everyone wins.

Think of that whopping $2.50 you spent on that key as a tip to the company that continues to pour their heart and soul into the game you love, bringing you maps, tweaks, patches, game types, bosses, and more, building a community that's guaranteed not to lose interest when Call of Fortress: Sandvich Ops comes out next month. All without making you pay a dime. So if you wasted $2.50 on a Force-a-Nature, maybe that'll help make up for the the real time and real effort and real skill those artists and designers put into those new maps that you didn't pay a cent for.

I love Valve. They care a lot more about you and I than most corporations, and if you don't buy something as touchy-feely as that, they sure as hell have given us more content and merriment for free.

@Gnomicidal
My favourite part is how the strip is about an event from six months ago, and the best they could manage is a fat joke.

@Dr
A fat joke? What were you reading?

@Dr
I think it was a greed joke.?
That being said, Valve is just about getting on my nerves lately. (for various little stupid reasons)

@Gnomicidal
The DeadRising2 one was genius. They hit that one spot on.

@Gnomicidal

I think the large amount of panels actually added to the "experience". It really made you intrigued, excited, disappointed, then the punch line came in. With 4 panels most of what made that comic work would be thrown away and leave the viewer with a generic, soulless shell, kinda like the food they make on the show "4 ingredients".
