This is an unusual one. It’s probably the first & last single-panel comic I’ll ever make for Stolen Pixels. This is also one of those rare cases where I regret my overly verbose style. I wanted to show as much of the image as possible, and I pruned the text as much as I could, but in the end I really had to obscure a lot of it to make my point.
When you’re making screencap comics, it can sometimes be a bit hard to make fun of a game you refuse to buy. Since they’re even charging for the Spore demo, I thought I was going to be left without the means to mock the game. Then I discovered that the various videos in the ever-present ad campaign provided me with all the tools I needed.
The Witch Watch
My first REAL published book, about a guy who comes back from the dead due to a misunderstanding.
Wolfenstein II
This is a massive step down in story, gameplay, and art design when compared to the 2014 soft reboot. Yet critics rated this one much higher. What's going on here?
Why Batman Can't Kill
His problem isn't that he's dumb, the problem is that he bends the world he inhabits.
Game at the Bottom
Why spend millions on visuals that are just a distraction from the REAL game of hotbar-watching?
Philosophy of Moderation
The comments on most sites are a sewer of hate, because we're moderating with the wrong goals in mind.
