"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
So, you didn't think it was funny? Come on, what's not funny about it? It's funny! You know...funny!!... ... ... Funny!!... ...hmm... ... *reads comic again*... ... ... well... ... I thought it was funny.
Yeah, it was mildly amusing, but it was pretty cheesy. I also don't appreciating them making light of quests for milk! We all know Link LOVES milk! I guess when they started making fun of Miyamoto I really started not liking it. I mean, it's not that they were making fun of themselves, that I love, it's just how bad a joke it was, like "oh wow look at us acknowledging the problems and in a backwards way making fun of people who think Miyamoto is like this". I dunno how to phrase it, but it just seemed so... lacking any free will...

No, I think a half goat half human is what he was calling the comic...
My way too analytical for their own good comments were mostly jokes, but this just wasn't that funny. I will give it this. It's funnier than Goombas, but so was Shindler's List.

I have back DJ up on this one. The comic just isn't that funny. I know timing is hard to work with on a comic strip, but Penny Arcade seems to pull it off once in a while. This...I don't know. Whatever funny value this had for me was erased with that "bottomless" joke. If it makes you feel better, I never really liked the MAD comics either.
No I don't. Only GR complained, I joined in. In fact, I often TRY to get you to get onto me about spelling because I find it funny that you think it makes me mad. What's REALLY bad is terrible grammyr.

I thought it was good. I love satire (there is no English word spelled sattire, OB1), irony, or sarcasm, and this was great. You didn't think the Cloud Strife joke was funny? Or the Nintendo exec with the M-rated sign? :D
When I made that post I thought that I was correct, as two t's looked right to me. Then a few minutes after I made that post I went to dictionary.com and looked it up and found out that I was wrong, but instead of correcting myself I waited to see if anyone would catch my mistake.
I thought both looked right, and as such I made the satyr joke, then I read my WC3 booklet again and realized my mistake :D.
