    IMO gabe's expression in the last pannel MAKES this comic, along with the fact that he's actually learing french.

    I really liked playing Dofus.

    I have a thoughtful and infrequently updated blog about games http://whatithinkaboutwhenithinkaboutgames.wordpress.com/

    I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.

    Currently Ebaying Nothing at all but I might do in the future.

    The comic is all about the transformation of Gabe's mouth through the 3 panels.

    He looks like he Benjamin Buttoned a bit too.

    The art in those games are pretty gorgeous.

    Gameplays not bad either, makes me sad that the non-MMO product they were working on (Dofus: Arena, literally just Dofus except only PVP and you controlling a whole squad) seems to have died.

    Love the way this ends. The easier, less funny joke would have been to show him as a junkie analogue, craving the next hit. But the idea that his obsession leads him to become more cultured?

    Incroyable.

    actually Gabe is a bit of a polyglot and has picked up French and even Polish in his travels, with the help of the right motivation, of course.

    I'm disappointed you missed a reference to Gameception.

    Tycho watching the progression with concern is what makes it for me.

    OK...the 'incroyable' is a great punch to this comic for me.

    Tycho's concern in the panels is funny his face expression is good, the evolution of gab's mouths are always fun too from panel to panel, he was talking about buying these on twitter the other day now this is another thing i can't afford that i wish i could check out, looks like fun concepts, Incroyable!

    Awesome strip. Figures are a trap.

    That Wakfu isn't easily available subbed or dubbed in English is a crime.

    Great newspost from Gabe about this game. Sounds like he's found a winner.

    I learned it in an actual class
    And then forgot most of it.

    Especially bizarre because the Wakfu game IS available in english

    It's actually not a bad tactical rpg, but the mmo grindiness is murderous

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    I really like the character art in this strip. Though, granted, I have a preference for cuteness as opposed to uh... ren-n-stimpyness that a few of the past comics seemed to be going towards.

    This newspost has sold me on Wakfu.
    imagine Final Fantasy Tactics where all the characters on the field are people’s individual characters

    FFT is my favorite game of all time...gotta give this a shot and see if it scratches that itch.

    Good comic and newspost! Incroyable!

    croyable (believable) comes from the same root as English words credible, credence, and creed. But what's really interesting is that they are all believed to ultimately be derived from an ancient word for 'heart' (which also gave us 'cardio').

    Agreed. Any game that prompts you to become more cultured is an automatic plus in my book.
