Personally, I would have been quite shocked to hear Mike watched AI. Besides, isn't that what the awesome Kris Straub animations are for?
Gabe's guesses seem kinda sensible, to be honest.
The joke is that Gabe's guesses are 100% accurate. So... that's your summary.
I don't know if it matches at all. The newspost for it is called "J. W. Darkmagic III". I guess we'll see if Friday's comic matches up somehow.

No one said Jerry doesn't. Also, the comic has always been industry-related strips mixed with strips about what's going on in their lives.
Well he said its rare to watch Acq Inc, I guess, but I figured he meant all D&D live play videos. Could be wrong!
Fair point, but I was meaning to refer to various newsposts that seem to presume a familiarity with and/or interest in them.

EDIT: The comic titles have now gotten their proper names. At the time of this writing, the forum posts have not been fixed, and honestly kinda seems unlikely they will be.
Honestly that's how they do with everything.
Comic that makes sense only if you're familiar with the topic being parodied / Satirized + newspost with a, at most 30% chance of giving some more context.
One of the reasons I started reading this forum is because sometimes it was just the simplest way to know what they where talking about.
Also, regional monopolies suck.
Reminds me of an experience I had with Comcrap back in the early aught's. Onions on our belts was the style at the time. Comcast was the cable internet provider for the barracks I lived at, and when I ETS'd, I turned in the cable modem I rented from them at their local kiosk on base and got a receipt for it.
Two months later I get a call while I was visiting my parents as a free man from a rep claiming I hadn't turned the modem in and they were charging me fees for it. I advised that not only did I have the receipt, I had it in front of me (which was actually true) and could read off all the information on it.
Fucker couldn't get off the phone fast enough.
Just remember, that "fucker" on the phone is just doing the job they've been told to do.
Somewhere in the vast labyrinth of bureaucracy that is Comcast, some person or system somewhere said you didn't return the modem, and it was this guy's job to make the phone call. I'm positive he was just as happy to get off the phone as you, mark you off the list, and get on with his life.
I work in a customer service position. Outbound collections calls are not done just willy-nilly like that. At least they aren't in my company.
Granted it took him rather longer than either of us expected, it it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who doesn't always plug things quite all the way in. And we got there in the end, I gave him a bottle of Rioja and I have my 100mbits or whatever
