Poll: Do you hate Ctrl-Alt-Del?

[The Sorrow]

Too much text, stolen jokes, mary-sues, self-insertions, NOT FUNNY, and a Grade-A asshole at the helm.
Hell, when Child's Play came around, the bastard tried to make his own charity instead of donating. The fucker.

 

[Gingerman]

I don't hate it but after reading several of the comics (Up to a few months ago) I'm still yet to laugh. The man's sense of humor is childish at best and I'm yet to understand why he has such a large fan base.

But each to their own I guess.

 

[Outright Villainy]

Scmeh. I don't hate it, it's just so... bleh. I've never gotten a laugh out of it, but I'm a little confused why it's hated so vehemently; 2 and a half men or any other generic sitcom on t.v. incite far greater levels of rage in me, CAD is just kinda boring.
Penny arcade I used to find funny, It's pretty hit and miss these days though. The only gaming webcomic I've seen that was consistently hilarious was Concerned. Chris livingston is a pretty entertaining blogger too at that.

 

[hazabaza1]

No, but it's not my favourite webcomic either. It seems like ages since he's done a gaming comic, and is trying to build the characters and has only just started doing this, after all the jokes.

Seriously, I don't care about Ethan's brother (who is never mentioned before this event) and some Mafia crap that isn't funny, give me something game related.

There are far too many people to count who are much less talented & much more deserving of animosity than Tim Buckley.

"Lolz Tim Buckley is a fagget Penny Arcade fo lyfe lolololol"

That's what I usually hear when it comes to people raging over CAD. I don't understand it though. Penny Arcade is shoveling shit everywhere in everyone face and they're loved and CAD does what? An unknown animated series and they're hated for it.

I do believe the rage does indeed come from Penny Arcade fans who feel Buckley has just stolen the idea from them and throws up a huge shitstorm everywhere they can. And these guys are no better than the Megatokyo fans. Now that comic is a damn rip off.

Instead of those comics though, you guys should be Checking out Dr. McNinja anyway.

...Are you doing it?

GOGOGOGOGOGO!

 

[joshthor]

i love cad. its the only webcomic i read. however, i dont like the recent thing with the brother and the extortion plot or whatever, its dragging too long.

 

[Citrus]

I don't think it's reasonable to "hate" free entertainment.

That said, I think CAD is very far from funny, so I don't like it at all.

 

[PrototypeC]

So you're kind of doing the Atkinson thing, assuming the poll will get biased results right off the bat unless they vote No. If we do vote Yes, we're clearly brainwashed slaves. Nice.

I dunno, does someone who opens with that opinion actually want to hear mine? It doesn't seem like it's worth saying if you're just going to shoot it down.

 

[De Ronneman]

Big no no, I got hooked on CAD years before the Escapist, so I already had a strong affection for it, and to be honest, Yathzee smacking it up more obvious than he did Turok, made me love it more. The eternal randomness, stupidity and parody mixed with an actual storyline did make it good for me.

And if you don't like the whole story thing, just stick to the sillies.

 

[Rhade]

He did a miscarriage storyline and refused to let it die for a quite a while. Unlike the baby that did die. It's more complicated than that but each time I go back to review the strips I'm inclined to agree with most comments and opinions about it, including Yahtzee's webcomics thing.

 

[jh322]

I love CTRL+ALT+DEL and have done for years. I miss zeke

 

[ParkourMcGhee]

I liked it, then it got boring. I read the sillies now.

 

[Hazy]

and the fact that once Yahtzee showed up, he turned you all into little clones of him

As a general rule of thumb, it's best not to judge the entire community based upon the first 3-4 commenters of a Zero Punctuation video.

Just saying.

And no, I don't hate it. It just sort of... "isn't funny" anymore to me, as weak of an excuse as that is.

 

[oppp7]

I don't really hate it, but I dislike it so I put that. It was funny at first but then all of the jokes got old and reused and the plot is full of the main character being a gary stu.

 

[Haunted Serenity]

I love it. it's great with a plot that keeps me interested and actually is a plot. it's better than alot of the online comic "plots" out there. There is story, body, character devolpment, unique styles. For his art work, it evolves better than most i've seen and it's still within his style. And untill i see proof of the allegations that i saw on a forum here a while ago i don't believe it.


Oh for the consoles sake some of the posts i've read seem like that people don't like a web comic if it actually has drama or story in it. Philistines!

 

[Haunted Serenity]

There are far too many people to count who are much less talented & much more deserving of animosity than Tim Buckley.

Agreed.

 

[Kelthurin]

Don't hate it. Just miss the days when the storyline didn't have all this bollocky drama.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

and the fact that once Yahtzee showed up, he turned you all into little clones of him,

Ok, I resent that. I'm no Yahtzee clone. For one thing I'm not into FPSs, I don't hate JRPGs, and I've never played a Silent Hill game.
Now OT: I've only seen maybe 1 or 2 CAD comics so I can't really whether I like them or not. I generally don't read webcomics, except to occasionally glace at VGcats if I'm in the mood.

Could I once more be allowed to direct your attention to a certain something?

Spoiler: Cartoon sexism. Hooray.
