Muah ha ha ha ha! Once my plans are complete everyone will realize that I am… THE BAD GUY!
Joker's Last Laugh
Did you anticipate the big plot twist of Batman: Arkham City? Here's all the ways the game hid that secret from you while also rubbing your nose in it.
Project Octant
A programming project where I set out to make a Minecraft-style world so I can experiment with Octree data.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided was a clumsy, tone-deaf allegory that thought it was clever, and it managed to annoy people of all political stripes.

The Best of 2014
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2014.
Ha! I especially liked the punchline, good comic.
Nice comic and yeah, the punchline is pretty damn good ^^
Nitpicking: “Then, if I wait until you grow up AN get married”. “And” is missing a “d”.
Unless he was doing an accent, in which case it would be a deliberate omission – though technically, to indicate that, it would need an apostrophe, so “an'”, as opposed to “and” or “an”…
Nit-picked backatcha ;)
It’s still LuciEn, you know…
Lucian is a real world name, so I guess the confusion comes from there. It´s the writer fault. He decided to take one not-so-used of the real world, and then changed one letter to show his superb creative skills.
Also, it happens when the character fails at being memorable.
The punchline made me chortle milk through my nose. Ugh, hahaha. Well done, sir!
In my case, the “Lucian” thing happened because I ran a couple of D&D campaigns with a character named LuciAn, and I have typed the name that way many, many times. My fingers don’t like doing it the other way.
Didn’t you say something about having a column in the Escapist today? Is that up, yet?
The pokemon punchline was a mother-lode of comedy gold!
…one a’ dem days, I’ll get myself an account at the escapist, too, so I can spread the fanboi-ism around a little!

Another thumbs-up for the Pokemon bit — that was perfect. :D
And seriously, is it really that hard to come up with an actual evil-mastermind type of plan? :P
I think it’s the same mentality that has people running and playing RPGs, whether tabletop or on the computer, to think that the greatest ambition any thief character could ever have would be to become the Bestest Pickpocket In The World!!! :/ I tried arguing about that in a game I used to work in, pointing out that there are other things high level thieves could do, that Al Capone wasn’t known for picking pockets. No luck. And things haven’t changed since then. [sigh]

Haha! I reaffirm the greatness of the punchline.
Wow. That is some serious bloom lighting.
