    the trick is to have your thread be first on the index because that is the one i will click

    internet at work is slow enough that slogging through the sticky/lock/unlock/unsticky process takes me several minutes, so i do it to the first thread i click

    you're concerned about Gabe's face and not Tycho?

    Gabe's hair is fucking nuts in this one, holy crap. You could cleave meat with that thing.

    Good comic, though.

    Err.. umm.. yea I reaaaly wish they would have developed the game in a 2d style. The animated stuff looks awesome. The 3d however.. Those are some rather awkward models.

    Hmmm, the fact that the source material is 2D makes me wonder if it would look better with the cel-shaded approach - you know, the way 3-d Simpsons games should be done.

    there is a robust cast of characters to draw on though

    seems lazy

    maybe it is just a placeholder i suppose

    I think it will be better without voice acting.

    The risks of getting the voices wrong is too great.

    Thin Mints are TOO GOOD for that comic.

    In fact I routinely get sick eating whole packages of thin mints, you know the stick of cookies.

    It's probably because I'm exceeding my capacity for awesomeness.

    after hearing mike and jerry talk, i subconsciusly assign their voices to the characters when reading the comics

    so if the voices weren't that it'd be weird to me

    i concede the point



    (the faces are still really bad though, you've gotta admit that)

    Caramel D'Lites and those lemon ones also bear mentioning. They are so good with milk.

    Also, while the in-game character models are a bit rough, I'll look the other way while I wait to see some gameplay elements. The Fruit-Fucker is adorable but not nearly steampunk enough. I love the little one in the glass housing in the opening cutscene though, all trying to thrust it's way out of it's transparent prison.
