The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
his application Delicious Library is a revelation, allowing you to catalog your games, music, and books (!!!) by scanning the barcode in realtime via your Mac's built-in camera.
Yeah, my games music and books are already arranged. Right there, on the shelf. See the trick is to place them so the spines are facing outward. Then you can read the names. You might have to turn your head a little. Could be a problem for people with a neck condition.
I suppose a program like Wil's is good for those people.
I have to ask. What is it with the majority of you and shitting all over CAD? Yes, I agree that sometimes it's bad (,like the current storyline. That one's pretty bad), but it CAN be funny. Has it got something to do with the fact that it has storylines in it and PA doesn't? Is it bad just because it's different than PA?
The storylines have nothing to do with it. It's just not funny. Tim Buckley has no comedic talent.
CAD is like the gaming webcomic equivalent of Colin Quinn or Carlos Mencia.
Man I have zero interest in the iPhone. Yes, combined technology is cool. However, the size of screen that I want to watch movies on and the size of a phone I want to use are not the same. Further, touchscreens are BEGGING to get smeared and nasty. And also Apple's shit never works right and costs way too much.

Colin Quinn is a comedian who has the worst delivery and timing in the history of comedy, and Carlos Mencia is a no-talent hack whose material is either stolen or lowest common denominator tripe.
Who the hell is Carlos Mencia? I thought it was Ned Holmes and he changed it to sound more Mexican.

Colin Quinn was not half as bad as Tina Fey and Jimmy Falon on the Weekend Update.

I don't think you could get any worse than Tina Fey and Jimmy Falon.
At least Colin Quinn had good material to work with and occasionally had good timing.

Except if CAD quality is to VGcats comic being up on time. Then you are right.
VGCats isn't bad when it isn't being insular; as in, referring to it's own characters that I don't give two whits about rather than the topic at hand. When it's spoofing a video game, it's generally funny.
Much like the one where it nailed WarioWare Smooth Moves right on the head.
I could totally see a VGCats comic where the guy spoofs Custom Robo DS. The only use of the touchscreen in Custom Robo is a completely pointless side-task. If your robot gets dirty you have to clean your dirty robo using the stylus to manipulate the cloth. The robos are divided into several "cleanable" sections: Head, arms, torso, legs, feet, back, and crotch.
You have to polish your Custom Robo's dirty crotch.
I can see that being made into a comic, somewhere.
Every time he gets a fucking runny nose or leaves the house for an afternoon, he skips making a comic. His "schedule" is one fucking comic a week and he consistently fucks it up. I know Tycho has said before that keeping to a schedule is important. If you say you're gonna have a comic up Wednesday, have it up. The day that Tycho's pregnant wife was in a car accident, there was a god damn comic up. The VGCats dude can't be bothered to do a comic in three weeks so he posts fanart. "Here's a comic I might have done were I actually to do one."
And Carlos Mencia steals jokes from a guy who hosts a show where people eat horse penises (peni?). That's pretty low.
Penises or penes.
It has come up up on these boards a lot.
Thank god for science.

Carlos Mencia was funny when all he had was his stand up special on Comedy Central.

I've seen promos for his show where he's talking about being called the "bad boy of comedy." Who the fuck ever said that? I'm sure you popped lots of monocles by pointing out that you're brown.

When I was a mod in Whining, I would hit edit instead of quote on other people's posts ALL THE FUCKING TIME and just edit my response into the bottom, then have to edit it back out again. It's weird because, as you can see, Edit is the leftmost button. If you don't have the capability to edit, then Quote is the leftmost button. So since I'm always either editing my own posts or quoting someone else's, I'm always using the leftmost button. Then you throw Edit onto someone else's post and WHOOOOOPS I did it like five times in the week or so that the forum was up.

No, this video is bullshit. Joe Rogan just yells at/heckles Mencia, and his people tape it, and then they edit it together so it looks like he's winning. This isn't, like, some film that just ran its course, this is an attack that was edited after being filmed and spliced in with offstage stuff that was basically just people bashing Mencia.

I liked Tina and Jimmy, I thought the timing/jokes were a style thing, not a "they're not very good" thing. That's just the type of humor.
I also like VG Cats. Okay, he doesn't update, abloo bloo, that doesn't stop me from reading it. His art is awesome, and he has some funny jokes. Mostly I dig the art, it's actually the biggest reason I read them.
This PA strip was nothing like CAD. That's just a stupid comment, and I don't know why it started such a big discussion. It reminded me of many other PA strips, Tycho complains about something and Gabe makes a funny comment. I also wondered why Tycho's pupils were brown while his irises were black.
Also, I read CAD, I don't see a reason not to. It's a couple minutes out of my day, and it used to be somewhat entertaining, though I will agree that it has become boring. His art also needs to become more adventurous/dynamic, it's gotten pretty bland. If I hadn't read CAD, and then joined the forums for a bit, I wouldn't be doing art now...my entire life would be different. I wouldn't even be on this forum. It's weird to think about.

The "related" links are good, too. The best is the Bill Cosby one, since there's no way to disguise that Bill did the same jokes as Mencia twenty years earlier, but with less swearing and slightly different wording.

Or so I'm told.
By people I'm giving hand jobs to.
Don't be so hard on yourself I am sure you give spectacular hand jobs.

What art?
Yes.

that's not true
he was exactly half as bad

That special that he did consisted of 0% of his own material.
This video explains Carlos "Ned" Mencia.

I've seen that before.
But I don't recall it saying that he didn't use ANY of his own material in his original special.

Quinn was at least 4 times as bad as them. He never, ever, eeeeeeeeeeeever had good timing.
They just were.

Oh sorry. Here, this is a better link. The reveal starts about 5 minutes through.
yes, that video is just a bitchfest, and pretty much offers nothing to validate the point
but hey

Carlos Mencia wasn't in this strip.
Coincidence? Probably!
The "related" links are good, too. The best is the Bill Cosby one, since there's no way to disguise that Bill did the same jokes as Mencia twenty years earlier, but with less swearing and slightly different wording.
EDIT: Oh I see the Cosby one is already linked.
