My dislike of PVP comes from the fact that I hate Scott 'That's no Moon, that's' Kurtz as a human being.
I've never met him but I stopped reading pvp and ctr alt del years ago. They went from gaming comics to "nerd gets in a relationship" comics, which just aren't my cup of tea.
What can I do to become a social powerhouse in the city? And is it a lot of responsibility? I dont want like...too many womens wanting me at once, thatd be a lot of work.
Will it require I bathe?

If you're enough of a powerhouse, your powerstink will overpower the object of your powerthursts with powerlusts.

It requires that you bathe daily in Axe body spray.
I'll never forgive the PA comic spreading the lolRTS Brutal Legend hate.
This is why we can't have sequels to Sacrifice and Battlezone.
Because they are action games with strategy in them.
Which is too bad because those are the only RTS games I actually like.
What they liked that game, I personally hated it with every fiber of my being because the demo sold you on a game the real game didn't play like at all.

EA's boo boo, not Double Fine's. They were going to have Tim Schafer killed if he ever said R, T, and S in the same sentence.
Also, why did I know it was an Action RTS hybrid months prior and nobody else? I didn't give a shit at first because I thought it was gonna be a short action game like Psychonauts. But the multiplayer videos made it clear it was a motherfucking sequel to Sacrifice.
GP: For something that was a large part of the game, the stage battles weren't introduced to the media until late in development. Why was that aspect of the game not shown earlier?
Schafer: We wanted to emphasize that the game's main story was a wish fulfillment for this character. It's about a roadie who wanted to live in an earlier time when the music was real in a medieval combat fantasy. That's our story, and we wanted people to understand that was what you'd be doing in this game: swinging an axe, playing a guitar, driving your car around and eventually commanding an army of headbangers. You can't tell people that whole package at once; when we pitched the game to publishers a lot of times the meetings would end with a series of stunned looks, because that's a lot to digest at once. We had to mete out the different features, and it made sense to start with the simplest aspects and build up to more complex ones. When it was time to announce it we had this huge press event, which I'm sure you came to... didn't you?
GP: The multiplayer event? Yeah, yeah we were there.
Schafer:Yeah, I was interviewed on G4, Morgan Webb called it out as an RTS game and everything. It was late, but we definitely got it out there. When we pitched the game a lot of publishers were fearful of the letters "RTS" and when we were with Vivendi the marketing plans were never going to say RTS ever. At first we weren't sure how we felt about that, but as our game developed and we started changing it, simplifying it and removing RTS elements we started to feel okay about that because we realized that if players come to the game with the expectation of it being an RTS and look for RTS controls, it would actually make the game less fun. So from a creative position we were totally fine with not releasing that info first. In the very first pitches for the game, publishers didn't want to talk about heavy metal or roadies at all, they thought it should be about something more popular. Like country.
When we showed the game to EA, they were interested but wanted to test the concept. In focus tests, the stage battles rated high. What's interesting is the people in those groups aren't told anything about the game and have no expectations for it. One of the things you notice looking at Metacritic ratings is that the highest scores come from those who really enjoyed the stage battles, and when you get down to the critics who didn't like the stage battles those reviews often center around their expectations about what we were going to make, instead of looking at the stage battles for what they are in a fresh way.

It was a response to Tim Schafer's advice thing, where he says "If you play it like an RTS you will lose," and they likened it to petty damage control, when really it's useful because the strongest unit is your avatar...
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but I find it pretty amazing that the Perry Bible Fellowship is only 2% behind PA despite the fact that PBF hasn't been updated in 2 years. Has some website raised the hue and cry for PBF like Gabe tried to for PA in his post?

I had assumed that some diehard PBF fan had put together a voting script.

Two years? That doesn't sound right. It was still updating when I first got into it last year.

Yeah, i'm pretty sure this was it because it shot up a few thousand votes in one night. I'm not complaining though, the top 3 are in the right order now, though I'd like to see HaV with a bigger lead over xkcd.
My bad, the last strip was from July of 2008. Still...no new comics for a year and a half, and either someones dickin' with the pole or people really loves them some PBF.

Laughing so hard right now
Also I think someone said PBF shot up a ridiculous number of votes overnight (gained like 20% in a single night or something?) so, yeah, probably dicking with the poll.
LICD has great artwork at least. By webcomic standards anyways.
if your standard of webcomic art is CAD, then yeah, sure, it has great artwork
that said, I read the entirety of Nedroid in the past two days and it is really great
I feel like it's one of those strips that could use a better name. I think of it as "the funny bear and bird strip regularly linked here" instead of its actual name. Not that most webcomics have names that make sense, but still, it's not like anyone thinks of the clip art comic with the funny dinosaurs as quantz anymore.

It happened pretty obviously one night. PA went to 25% when it got a FP mention and then out of nowhere PBF went to 40% of the vote between like 11pm and 4am with as many votes as had previously been registered in total. It wasn't subtle and I'm pretty sure a PA fan responded

I'm sorry Penny-Arcade but I voted for PBF. I just like it better, even though it's dead. I'm sure Penny-Arcade will win anyways.
I still read Megatokyo, I dont understand what the fuck is going on anymore, but I still read it.
I like his style (the all pencil stuff) and he has gotten alot better at facial expressions and hands.. (which is saying alot considering what the early stuff looked like)
He could learn a thing or two from Kate Beaton and the chick that does lackadaisy.. now they know how do to expressions.

I don't specifically dislike it, I'm just don't find anything compelling in it either.

...Why?
because it is brilliant
You're just bound and determined to have the worst opinions on this forum, aren't you?

...it did? I read PA almost every day and I never saw this "lolRTS Brutal Legend" hate.
I think there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. Exhibit A: Twilight.

Megatokyo isn't on there. And that no one thought to mention it until page 23.
I'm not a Megatokyo fan at all, but you'd think its readership would give it a slot.
They're too busy crying into their body pillows.

My surprise is that Sluggy was not on the list.
You mean Dinosaur Comics?
This is the correct answer.
They're doing something with their body pillows, but somehow I doubt tears are the primary bodily fluid involved.
