For all of those who can't wait each week for the next Zero Punctuation, you should check out some of these:

Ctrl+Alt+Delete: its pretty much a comic series that usually has some funny stuff with games in it... it's fun to read and updates quicker than Zero Puntuation (well... because of the fact that its a comic. You don't need to spend one week on a comic). This updates every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

The Angry Videogame Nerd: This guy pretty much reviews old games and old hardware (ranging from sega genesis to the super nes) pretty funny but really abuses the word fuck more than required, but usually makes it funny.

(i know its his myspace profile... but it contains all of his videos)

NOTE: this thread is NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT... the main reason is to find other ...(for the lack of a better word) things to do on the internet while waiting for the next Zero Punctuation, that is some-what related to Zero Punctuation... Many of you probably already heard of either or both of these; Well I'm just informing those who havn't heard of them, and if anyone finds anything related to these subjects (updated reviews/video game related ..."stuff")or to Zero Puncutation please post.

You DO realize that Yahtzee hates CAD with a fiery passion, right? Says it himself on FullyRamblomatic.
Anyway, Penny Arcade is superior.

Although they may not be an 'advertisment', I should think thatb I speak for many people when I say we've already heard of these people if not are big fans.

What I reccomend to those who love ZP, look up Croshaw's inspiration on youtube; Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe. Link [http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=gSa3W06gQZk]

No, go to fullyramblomatic.com.
He has an entire rant about CAD and why it's not funny.

I don't understand all this CAD hatred. It's not the best and some of the comics miss the point, but I still like them.

What I do understand is Yahtzee-fanboys hatred. They clog up this forum with their troll breeding calls.

Just because Yahtzee hates the comic, you guys hate it too? Have you guys ever actually read any of it and decided for yourselves if you like it or not?

Yes. I've been reading CAD for years, and before my very eyes, I saw a comic that I used to find had some good moments slide down into a spiral of self-indulgent storylines and inferior writing.

Bravo that man! If you (you as in everyone, not you as in ThaBenMan) paid attention to Yahtzee's latest video, Mailbag Showdown, you notice that he points out that all reviews are subjective, meaning that they are all based on the reviewers opinion. Not everyone has the same opinion, so therefore you should feel free to try whatever you want.
If there are those among you who base your opinions on things on Yahtzee's word and therefore hate CAD without reading it, you should pay more attention to what he says. I, for one, like CAD, and think that Penny Arcade sucks balls. I read half their archive and only laughed once, so at least I was well informed before I made my decision.

Ooh! I have! I didn't even know Yahtzee hated it. But anyway I've gone through about 150+ from the start and I didn't crack a smile once, let alone a giggle. So I think that should allow me to say I don't like the comic.

I don't like it.

Ok, that's fine. It just bugs me how everyone here is basically saying "it sucks because Yahtzee says it does" rather than "it sucks because I've looked at it and it sucks". But I agree, End_Boss, I don't care for CAD and prefer Penny Arcade or VGCats (sorry Meado).

Actually, this should be a stay away thread for those who love ZP. AVGN has zero subtle/sarcastic humour, which Yahtzee aces, and CAD is too... the humour has no real genre (Jack of all trades, king of none) and actually goes on to explain the joke at some points.

Sorry for what? It's an opinion, why would I care? Oh, and I like VGCats too.

Yahtzee does give a good argument against CAD, though.
The comparison between those two similar comics from CAD and PA was really great.

I love VG Cats, glad to know others here know about it :).

If I followed everything Yahtzee said I believe I would be lighting my RPG collection aflame instead of typing this. He's merely an opinionated, fast talking man who happens to entertain us every Wednesday. Yes, he is absolutely brilliant at times, but that should not make him your ultimate authority on games and comics.

Actually, the reason they brought up Yahtzee's hatred of CAD in this thread was because the original post said that those who enjoy Yahtzee will also enjoy Ctrl-Alt-Del. They were pointing out that it might actually be unlikely, since Yahtzee detests CAD and his humour appeals mainly to those who share his views.
