Via Terminally Incoherent I find this gem:
The tag at the bottom says the comic is by Dave Kosak, but I couldn’t find the original.
LATER: “Comic”? Why did I call this thing a comic? This is humorous, yes. But I don’t think I’d call it a comic.
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?
Trashing the Heap
What does it mean when a program crashes, and why does it happen?
Marvel's Civil War
Team Cap or Team Iron Man? More importantly, what basis would you use for making that decision?
Grand Theft Railroad
Grand Theft Auto is a lousy, cheating jerk of a game.
Steam Summer Blues
This mess of dross, confusion, and terrible UI design is the storefront the big publishers couldn't beat? Amazing.
I don’t see how that applies exclusively to RPGs. Don’t I make the same sort of analysis each day?
Yeah, I was just thinking that should be part of daily life. Where’s my printer and a pair of scissors!
Re: “Is it scary?” – shouldn’t there be a decision block “Is it REALLY scary?” with Yes leading to “RUN AWAY!”? At least it would if you came from the Brave Sir Robin Knight School!
Amusing post.
Cheers
It’s not actually a comic, but a column by Dave “Fargo” Kosak on Gamespy.com …. every week he writes about a specific issue in gaming, films and geek culture in general…. is often funny and always sarcastic.
This is an image used in a very old column about the dynamics of RPG characters and the minds of the players behind them.
I’m slowly working my way through areas. I’m up to date on the Comic. I’ve read all your rants. I’m working on links now. I’m going to read the campaign material soon. I work my way up from the bottom on the non-storyline type stuff–reading the most recent first. I’m greatly amused, and intrigued. I find that my time is well spent reading and enjoying the site.
Yay enjoyment.

Oh. Yeah. I forgot. I meant to say, in my last comment:
I had seen this once before. I Enjoy finding things I’ve seen before, and had forgotten, in a new place.
It’s like someone finding a lost treasure, and handing it back, with no request for a reward.

A metagamer would stab the flowchart with his pencil as soon as the DM handed it to him, having made all the necessary decisions already.
Then he would try to find another thing.
