I never noticed that comment before. Part of me thinks we could have added it for him if we’d seen that little regret at the start of the project. But, then again, it’s very hard to do the ‘right’ thing when remastering someone else’s work. Someone is always going to think we aren’t being true to the original no matter what we do. I can’t imagine the arguments there would have been to have edited a whole dialogue like that.
The Biggest Game Ever
Just how big IS No Man's Sky? What if you made a map of all of its landmass? How big would it be?
Stolen Pixels
A screencap comic that poked fun at videogames and the industry. The comic has ended, but there's plenty of archives for you to binge on.
What Does a Robot Want?
No, self-aware robots aren't going to turn on us, Skynet-style. Not unless we designed them to.
What is Vulkan?
What is this Vulkan stuff? A graphics engine? A game engine? A new flavor of breakfast cereal? And how is it supposed to make PC games better?
How I Plan To Rule This Dumb Industry
Here is how I'd conquer the game-publishing business. (Hint: NOT by copying EA, 2K, Activision, Take-Two, or Ubisoft.)
Typo watch: the entire comic is missing.
Posting with the flu will have no negative repercussions! – Myself, two days ago.
Should be all fixed now!

Best not to change it. But you could probably throw another one together that’s obviously separate from the main block. Like that other comment he made about Photoshopping Gandalf onto the Wishdragon, or whatever it was.
This just makes me think that this is a bit dated, as there aren’t nearly as many “Couch Co-Op” games now as there were back in the days of the strip?
Minecraft is still going strong. But otherwise, you’re right. It’s a shame.
The original comic predates Minecraft by a few years!
Maybe they’re playing It Takes Two?
You could always do things like that as an alternate bonus strip if you wanted to. Then you have both the original, and the ‘reimagined’ new one as a fun little extra. Darths & Droids has very occasionally had little bonus extras like that, like a stitched-together panorama that’s obscured by text bubbles in the strip proper, or a comically over-long version of a fight sequence reimagined as involving the grappling rules.
“Oh wait, shit, I’m reading the grappling rules for the wrong edition!”
