It's a dream for that to happen to her but she knows there's always a catch. The catch here is that "Deus Ex: Invisible War" was crap.
Ooooohhh. That's it. I get it now.

My interpretation of the joke:
I think the David Boreanaz+Cake thing was Gods way of karmicly making up to the main character for inflicting Deus Ex 2 upon the world. The disgrunteled expression in the last frame indicates that David Boreanaz+Cake was insufficient to make up for the poor quality of Deus Ex 2.

My thoughts on the series in general:
While this series has not thrown me into fits of laughter, but I enjoy it none the less. The jokes always give me a chuckle and there are usually more than one packed into the strip. I also appreciate how each panel has extra elements, like the hamster, which warrant a 2nd and 3rd viewing after my initial scan. Critical Miss is a great addition to the Escapist.

Eehhh... the joke just fell flat. I hate to say this, but this comic really has become a constant series of "Critical Misses".

The "2004" caption at the top of the second panel. (Also, the fact that she's talking to God in the third panel.)
Ah. Okay. I get it now...sorta. I think I'm just a little slow today.
'sall right. I've been having one of those days for the past two days.

I suppose you may have had to play the Dues Ex series to get a laugh from this one, so I can understand why I felt "Meh" about it.

And why does it still say "Out of Tens" at the bottom of it?

I thought it was just the guy trying to butter her up and buy her review of the game and her seeing pass it and then playing the game and finding out it was terrible.

Whoops! We remastered this one from the HD version where I hadn't changed the name title. Hell it wouldn't be Critical Miss without at least one fuckup.

I should quantify here that I don't think Invisible War is that bad taken into it's own account, though it is a poster boy for oversimplified console games.

But when regarded as a sequel to Deus Ex? Probably the best game made as of yet? (Ocarina of Time can suck it) Disasterous, absolutely disasterous in every respect.

Edit: Oh and for all those guys making the "this comic is a critical miss" jokes. Enjoy that low hanging fruit I left there for you. It's good for you.

Ha! That was a good one.
I was one of those who loved the original Deus Ex. Invisible war was a terrible sequel.

I'd say that that was the first one I've found funny, but then I checked the comments and instantly saw loads of people that 'didn't get it'.

I thought it was good.

Hmm... that was somewhat poor compared to earlier comics. No offense intended but, I just didn't see the humour.

No, I'm right! MNEH!
