I can't find Yahtzee's review of CAD on his Fully Ramblomatic site. Anyone know the exact link?

It's been mentioned, don't associate CAD with Yahztee. I mean, I like CAD as much as the next man, but it'd make my skin crawl if I was compared to my nemesis.

Also, if watching Zero Punctuation is the highlight of your Internet week, that's kind of sad.

But it is not our job to criticize on the Escapist, it is to fly ever upwards! So I strongly suggest reading Dr. Mcninja.

If you're not currently rolling around on the ground in hysterics, well...something very bad will happen to you! OOOoooOOOoooh!

I recommend "God-mode" [www.godmode-online.com] and F@nboy$ [www.fanboys-online.com]. Both graet, no chaerg.

I had the same problem. It's on the homepage, just scroll down a bit.

Anyway, I read CAD, and while I liked the first few strips. I read it now becuase it was the first webcomic I ever read, and it's a habit. And, IMO, AVNG is lame. I watched one, and was extremely bored, really quick.

I suppose the thing you have to remember is 'to each their own' (I think I've said this before on a similar thread).

Edit: Yes, I suggest F@NBOYS. It got a few chuckles from me. I think of it as a more subtle, child-friendly CAD.

I'm disappointed. I came to this thread looking for maybe an intellectual discussion on Yahtzee and his reviews

Keep dreaming buddy - even if someone started one, it would just turn into a nice big circle jerk about Yahtzee's awesomeness, and then get locked.

wow i cant beleive there are fans of vgcats here. they are so terrible, relying on their audience to get their subject matter for the joke. otherwise the joke fails. good comedy does not need an audience with specific knowledge of the subject matter. also even with knowledge, they still arent funny relying on toilet humor and jokes that were funny in 3rd grade.

Sorry, I might just be dumb, but I can't find it. I'm looking under "archives", but can't even find any '08 ones.

EDIT: Sorry, never mind. It's right here on the first page. I'm just a moron.

My favorite has always been Cyanide and Happiness.
The sheer randomness of each cartoon is usually enough to make me laugh, but the best part is the fact that they don't draw a line on what they will/will not do. Theres no set storyline so almost anything can be done, no boundaries, and you have four people behind it keeping it new and diverse.

Yeah, have to agree that the joking suck bulls balls, but I guess there only popular' caus of the heroes being A. Cats and B.That the fans can get allot of ideas with them (stories, pictures, fan comics, ya name it). But like I said there aren't ANY perfict web-comics on the world, each has one of there issues, or "black spots"

 

[Frapple]

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.

Couldn't agree more, needs more funny and less whine.

 

[FujinAkari]

CAD sucks overall, and for those who have read Yahtzee's views about why it sucks, of course you can still like CAD but it's still very hard to argue his point.

Can someone please link this phantom review? I can't seem to find it...

Edit: There's a page 2! Found it thanks to the nice person above

 

[ColdHeartedMan]

Which episode is that one where Yahtzee says: ''Fuck this shit'', and the blue screen said: ''bother this nonsense''. It gave me a smile on my face for a week so i'd love to know which episode it was.

 

[shaun832]

The AVGN. I used to really like his videos. I still do but now I found Zero Punctuation and I blew my mind!

 

[BlazeTheVampire]

I'm still a huge fan of CAD no matter what anyone says. I read CAD way before I started watching Yahtzee. The storyline is getting a little deeper and closer to reality, but there's still some pretty funny stuff in there. Being a girl gamer, I've always liked the strips with Lilah telling a guy off or something. Example [http://www.cad-comic.com/comic.php?d=20031213]
And the developing stage of Lilah and Ethan's relationship was highly entertaining.

Meh, for me, its the facial expressions. I'm a sucker for the vgcats facial expressions.

My favourite has got to be LFG, Richard is the main reason why I read it.

I'm sorry I can't contribute to the CAD bash or defend, so instead I'll just respond to the discussion's original intent.


Awesome Video Games

Check it out on the website or Youtube. It's the perfect blend of satirical and childish humor.
A personal favorite is the Mario episode.
