That is utterly awful

Have you never seen the animated shorts that were made?

This makes me embarrassed to be human.

 

[DJ_Lae]

What the fuck.

I'm not sure what it's supposed to be - funny, insightful, commentary on something, anything interesting whatsoever. There's nothing there.

 

[Mike M]

It's not a reboot, he's posting a single page of a comic each day for 28 days. Presumably at the end of it he'll go back to the regular stuff.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Uhhhhh...

Huh?

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

I really should just not say anything at all but the feelings are just too strong.

I always hated his art, his taste in games, his attempts at humour...literally everything.

Sorry I can't be more constructive, normally when a webcomic doesn't impress me I can let it go fairly easily, but the combination things wrong with Ctrl + Alt + Delete added up to something I hated big time.

The rebooted script was not made for human consumption.

 

[SystemBug]

so why does everybody hate this guy again?

According to the blog post on this comic, this IS the reboot:

Reboot Q and A this evening
Monday, November 3, 2014 | 02:59 PM | by Tim

I'm going to do a live Q&A on Twitch this evening at 6pm EST. Tune in and join chat to ask questions. Alternatively, if you can't make the live stream, you can leave a question for me on Twitter @TimCAD and I'll try to get to it.

I'd like to keep the focus on questions regarding the reboot, but may talk about other projects as well. See you there!

Any way, this is god awful.

 

[Sai-kun]

And I assume that famous strip will be posted here in 3...2...1

Someone post the greyscale one. Shit makes me cry from laughter.

10 seconds in and I'm embarrassed to have ever played a video game.

I hate everything now.

You know, I never tried to watch one of these for more than a few seconds before. I wonder if he actually suggested that the animators make the backgrounds keep the no effort MS Paint look. Also, why does this feel like a rejected Family Guy episode?

The writing....

This makes me embarrassed to be human.

omg wtf

Keep in mind that there are two seasons (for a total of 24 episodes, IIRC) of this. B^U

I'm at a loss for words.

Was waiting for this.

: O

You know, I didn't absolutely hate the first "reboot" after it "ended." I hadn't ever read it outside the more infamous ones that made the rounds (Miscarriage, black guy in a movie theater, etc.), but he did seem to objectively level up his game sometime between now and then and not just rely on cutting and pasting the same panel while only changing the expressions and mouths.

It was never high art, it was never some of the best of webcomics or anything, but he wasn't as awful.

 

[SilentMatthew]

Wow, it's been a long time since I spent an iota of thought on CAD. Still, kinda takes me back to the webcomics thing in the early 2000's. The only one that I can even recall with any sense of fondness was 8-bit Theater. Repetitive as hell at times, but still a okish time waster for a pre-teen with nothing to do.

 

[Persona7]

wait, i think it was vg cats actually nevermind

 

[L Thammy]

The company that made the first season mentioned that they lost a ton of money on it. Don't know who made the second. I noticed that Buckley was the writer of that episode, and also one of two people responsible for storyboards.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Looks like it happened as far back as October 29th, but I didn't see any news about it. I didn't even hear about it until today.

Ethan and Lucas are now gaming superheroes. They throw controller boomerangs at ninjas who use the RROD as their symbol.

Someone new is doing the coloring. Art still by Buckley.

Edit: The reboot works in story arc format. The example posted is the latest update. It is not a self contained joke.

Wow, how did they not go with this:

I... just... okay.

I've never followed CAD at all and have no real opinion on this guy, but please tell me this is a parody or joke of some sort.

Please.

i am a 24 year old gamer and i've never killed anyone, don't fuck with us or else

 

[SoulUnison]

Oh my god.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Does he still "draw" like this?

lolol

To be honest, this webcomic is of poor quality.

 

[Toxi]

Have you never seen the animated shorts that were made?

I could not write characters this obnoxious if I tried.

 

[Data West]

Just watch Video Game Dudes instead of the web series. It's a much better written interpretation of Buckley.

 

[Shig]

My word, Buckley's comic book style makes his comic-comic style actually look decent in comparison. Woof.

 

[Aselith]

The writing....

I think that's the actual comics in talky form but it's so much worse now lmao

I shouldn't have watched this before going to bed.

 

[DonMigs85]

I remember Scott Kurtz loooved to poke fun at CAD on PvP.

 

[RiccochetJ]

I always hate that people show the miscarriage comic as a form of derision and an attack against him. I have followed the comic from the start and I found this particular comic pretty devastating. Her being pregnant was something that spanned months in the comic.

I'm struggling to think of webcomic artists who didn't.

Maybe Ryan Sohmer since it was his company that made the cartoon series?

Basing a story-arc on your ex girlfriend's miscarriage while making it entirely about yourself in your videogame webcomic series is pretty gross, especially when you can't write for shit. Buckley absolutely deserved the mockery he got from that, if not already for his other shitty behavior and 'incidents' leading up to it.

I wasn't aware of the real life associations. I cared about Lilah. My point still stands. And when I saw the comic, I didn't think it was about Ethan, I thought it was about Lilah.

 

[Keihart]

I'm really not aware of why is this SO bad, can some one illuminate me?, is it the drawing most are making fun of? because i really don't think that's the point of the series, from what i read it's kinda funny sometimes. SOMETIMES. But it's not as criminally bad as say...the big bang theory...or is he some really bad person and people hate him as they hate Phill Phish for example?

uhhh why would you make your lead character an insufferable asshole right in the first scene? I wanted the customer to beat the shit out of him, I don't care how "stupid" his question was

 

[MrSaturn99]

didn't he already reboot it before

well I guess it can't be as bad as befo-

Ethan and Lucas are now gaming superheroes. They throw controller boomerangs at ninjas who use the RROD as their symbol.

nope

 

[Mariolee]

Tim thinks pretty...highly of himself doesn't he? I mean, it's fairly obvious the main character is pretty much him and the main character has gotten to the point where he's literally a superhero.

 

[bobawesome]

I can't believe I used to enjoy this trash.

 

[RiccochetJ]

I'm getting an idea about the person you are than him tbh.

 

[Dunkley]

How many times has Crtl-Alt-Delete been rebooted at this point?

Is this the second or third time?

 

[KittenMaster]

Maybe it's called Ctrl + Alt + Del because that's the IBM keystroke to reboot your comic.

 

[hateradio]

I snorted.

 

[SerTapTap]

Why would you make controllermarangs that are anything but the original PS3 boomerangs

why

yes, that IS my primary problem with this complete trainwreck of a comic

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I'm at a loss for why he would think this is a good idea.

 

[Memorabilia]

Lol
