Nice shading.
I dunno.
"Could you get on your dead [i'm assuming wife]'s Facebook account to send me some energy?"
That's pretty damn best.
:evil:
I like Facebook, but I absolutely can't stand stuff like that.
And yeah, this comic is fantastic.
Dunno if it'd get me to finally break into Facebook gaming, but at least it looks like a game this time.
I had to put great effort into not laughing at a loud volume just now, given the absurd hour I just viewed this comic at.
This is now among that elite tier of comics that I find to be flawlessly executed (in terms of pacing, art, dialog, etc) and among the best for laughs! Also enjoyed the version I originally read in which Gabe talked about befriending strange space breasts.

The bad is one of my friends is playing it and he's constantly spamming my wall with gift requests and other nonsense.
lots of them are people I actually want to be in touch with, too, which makes it even more frustrating
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
i agree. i create a new facebook account for each game to avoid spamming people.
Outernauts.
:?
Alienware. Outernauts.
Oh, I get it.
Whoa. That actually wasn't supposed to be a pun.
If I had a laptop like that, I'd be all up in the latest real games instead of Facebook flash games, is what I was trying to say. On account of the shitness of my actual rig.
Nice catch, though. :P
I got into facebook games in a bad way fora good while.
I ended up trading them away for a slightly less painful bad habit, and so I'm back to playing WoW for the time being.
It was kinda refreshing, playing a game that actually yields significant rewards without making bust your ass for a week. A game that actually feels like a game and not a fucking job.
That's the thing. Facebook games are technically free. But they compensate for that by forcing you to you do everything in stupid tiny increments, days and days on end, to get anything done.
The Sims Social is fucking atrocious about this.
There are a big selection of items that you can get, for free, from the shop, that require you dump loads of energy into building them first. But it takes more than just energy. You need specific items to unlock the next stage of construction. Items that you probably can't get all of (if any) without help from friends.
Friends who can only send you one item a day.
Sometimes a single construction would require dozens of these items to unlock.
Which itself wouldn't be that big a deal, if these items didn't have literally dozens of construction levels, meaning if you didn't have dozens of friends in the game it could take you literally weeks to build some of this stuff.
Then I jumped into WoW, and holy shit, you played for five minutes, here's a slick battleaxe. What, you want into a dungeon? Queue up and bam, you're good to go! There's a guy with all the quests right there in the front door, get that shit and get going!
Hey, you're done, have some more free shit for clearing that crap out! God damn we got more stuff to hand out than we have people to give it to, hurry up so we can throw more junk at you!
I'll take that over "Free" facebook garbage any day of the week.
