I've never owned a Nintendo console so maybe that's why I never saw it this way... but this is pretty funny / horrifyingly accurate. I hate the guy who does VGCats cause he does ~1 comic a month at this point... but most of the times when he does 'em they're pretty great.

That was the longest comic I have ever seen. hahaha

Semi-funny, like most of his recent stuff. I found VGCatz funnier a couple years ago. And yeah, the crappy update schedule bothers me. What else does he do besides the comic? I'm assuming it's become a part time thing for him at this point.

Maybe it's just me, but I have felt that Wii has had the best first year and a half of any Nintendo console to date; and that the DS has just had an incredible line-up. The Wii already has a Fire Emblem, Zelda, Smash brothers, Mario Kart, Mario, and Metroid game out, along with a some new franchises like Wii Sports and Wii Fit.

Mmm...SNES was some gamey goodness. It was the perfect time to be a 10 year old. ha

Yes. Though I found that while SNES had some good launch titles, it had next to nothing for the next two and a half years... Not to take anything away from what I would describe as a golden age of gaming from that point onward, on the SNES.

Not this shit again.

BTW, great comic. Scary accurate.

I probably should have been clear, that was directed to Tessian.

Awwww, are we having a grown-up apology from two parties over a misunderstanding? What sort of crazy forum has this become!?

Despite the flare ups between me and Kupek in the past, I think he is a decent guy. I do regret a lot of what I have said in the past that has annoyed him.

I don't think that's a good idea. The argument that will start could go on for pages and pages. haha

I went to VG cats today, and I was rather upset that this was still the newest comic he's done, heh.

It's the one thing I hate about this guy... most unreliable comic on the net. Even Tim Buckley of CAD makes sure to always keep to a schedule and keeps a buffer of comics to do so. This guy can barely do 1 a month let alone 1 a week. If his comics weren't so good I would have stopped bothering with him long ago.

Edited to reflect my opinion. :)

I find his stuff pretty funny on occasion, but that's about it.
