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.
Lost Laughs in Leisure Suit Larry
Why was this classic adventure game so funny in the 80's, and why did it stop being funny?
Push the Button!
Scenes from Half-Life 2:Episode 2, showing Gordon Freeman being a jerk.
Programming Language for Games
Game developer Jon Blow is making a programming language just for games. Why is he doing this, and what will it mean for game development?
Mass Effect 3 Ending Deconstruction
Did you dislike the ending to the Mass Effect trilogy? Here's my list of where it failed logically, thematically, and tonally.
Overused Words in Game Titles
I scoured the Steam database to figure out what words were the most commonly used in game titles.
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!”
