A duck!

RMS Oceanic

That beige box looks delicious.

Henroid

When's the last time we got to see those two in-game?

PaperLuigi44

The last one I remember was the Dungeon Siege comic about the shoddy co-op.

Sadly, I don't even think my PC could handle rendering the box...

Peter Ebel

I can relate.

I thought it was a brick.

Brick au lait comme la sauce if a Fench specialty.

My PC is so old I'm pretty much in Tycho's shoes. And have been for a few years.

I've always loved it when PC games had graphic settings so damn wide in quality change that it's pretty much this comic. Bland blocks vs. goddamn I'm hungry for some croissants now.

kingworks

Gabe is rich in the comic, too ...

I was actually surprised by how well my computer handled Battlefield 3. We'll see how it holds up in conquest mode...

Tycho has microphones built into his sideburns

But fucked means bad! This comic is dead to me. If you need me, I'll be in my room overreacting.

Those kids these days, they just turn the entire language upside down!

Langly

I think the "sideburns" are supposed to be the straps of his helmet. In the first panel you can see the chinstrap part. Tycho doesn't have black hair, after all.

KalTorak

You just can't get good beige boxes here in the states.

Hmm, I guess they are now that you mention it.

I can't grow good sideburns myself so maybe my mind suppressed me noticing it.

Pffft, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. did it.

RoyceSraphim

I would kill for a good chocolate croissant. Why is it that only a few specialty bakeries carry them? That shit is delicious!

Oh, guess what? I have a windows 7 desktop with 4 gigs of ram, an i5, and a kick ass NVidia card and its sitting in a closet in Djibouti collecting dust and breeding ants. I'm typing this on my big blue with 2 gigs, a HD 4850, xp, and an anthlon 64 x2 dual.

jwalk

meh all you need is a i7 2600k hyperclocked, 8GB ram, and dual 580 GTX
what's the big deal?

*actual quote from a reviewer of BF3

Xenogear_0001

Did people bitch this much about the requirements for Crysis? Oh, yeah, I guess they did. Well, carry on!

ZedPower

As much as I loathe to be the pedantic francophone in the room, I have to mention that a confiserie is a candy store. For bread and croissants you would go to a boulangerie.

Fatty McBeardo

Speedflake middleware was licensed.

Rorus Raz

As someone who just got a new PC, I'm guilty of being like Gabe there.

"Man, this game is a visual feast. How you doing on your ancient setup?"

Fandeathis

I just bought a $500 gaming rig in anticipation of Diablo 3, and it surprisingly can run this just fine on medium settings. I understand there are a lot of settings above medium, but I also understand those settings are for graphic enthusiasts who drop thousands of dollars every four years for a new computer. Seems silly to me that some people are complaining about it.

You can't see it due to the crop of the shot, but above confiserie, it says boulangerie et


Alternative option: They intentionally put confiserie there just to needle the pedantic francophones. Congratulations, you are part of the joke! Now we all have a good laugh together, oui?

Maigaard

Jerry, the word you're looking for, I think, is troubadize.

Are his eyes bleeding because of the croissant or the quality of that French?

Henroid

Nobody should speak French.

Molybdenum

What? I don't think you can use fucked in a sentence like that.

fuck is pretty much the single most versatile word in the language, but it has limits.

I pretty much ignored the text, because that's not a Texas Instruments 1000, that's a TI-99/4A and I had one of those in 1983. And also that Beginner's BASIC manual on the left there.

Aw I didnt have a TI 1000 PMAVSC to photograph also it was 'sponsored' by the newer model so

I've always heard that the TI99 had a 'well constructed power-on indicator'. Is that true?

SabreMau

It was a green LED and it worked. That's about it.

Ivar

Sounds well-constructed enough to me.
