I've seen stick figures on a couch playing games, sprites in a sprite comic on a couch playing games, anthropomorphized animals and plants on a couch playing games, lego figures on a couch playing games, basic geometric shapes on a couch playing games, dolls/action-figures on a couch playing games, and people arranged in Poser on a couch playing games - but you know, I don't recall ever seeing a Garry's mod comic featuring a couch and 2 gamers, playing a game (admittedly on a microwave).
Well done Shamus. Despite you best efforts, I believe you may have unintentionally succeeded at creativity here.

Man am I sick of theTwo Gamers on a Couch trope. If I want to read a gaming comic, I want it to be about games not the personal exploits of two deadbeats. If I wanted that, I'd just walk around with a mirror.
The message is mostly true though. Especially in games where monsters on average carry better equipment than what's offered as quest rewards.

I know it was meant to be purposely lame, but I thought the dialog was funny. Probably because I wasn't already aware that happened in MMOs. Just goes to show, it's not the uniqueness of the premise that matters; it's the quality of the gag.
I dunno, Shamus. I mean, do you think the world is ready for this revolutionary new method of storytelling? Two people, seated on a couch, playing video games... AND talking about them? You're pushing the envelope here. Minds could be blown!

The new Microwave 120 from Microsoft and IKEA, It play's games and breaks down a lot more than your 360!
As it stands currently, i have two friends who play WoW or used to play WoW. one i met in high school and keep up with as an friend. So he'd go home play WoW and we'df talk at school when he couldn't play WoW. He doesn't play now because college more or less became a full time occupation, he has a job and 12 hours of classes. and it's an hour to and from college to his house. so yeah he doesn't play because once again he can't.ninjajoeman said:
The Friend to which i was refering in my original post is my future brother-in-law. He isn't playing right for two reasons. He can't pay the subscription fees because he has no job. also because he has no job he can't pay internet bills so again he can't play.
So in summary the only people i know who play WoW i've only talked to becasue currently they can't play WoW.
I can tell you in first end it is, I stopped 7 months ago and when I go to bed the introduction screen music of the "vanilla" WoW still echoes in my head. What stops me from going back is remembering that I am a vanilla WoW addict and that is gone, todays WoW is crap when compared to that. So actually it doesnt work exactly like alcohol, tobacco or drugs to me. I am an addict of something extinct so there is no point in going back to WoW.rayen020 said:
