Well, you gotta read them from the beginning.

It's worth the time. It has Dracula on a moon base and unicorn motorcycles and Ronald McDonald and shit.

About all you need to know about Dr. McNinja.[/QUOTE]

I didn't know GAF had become professional comic strip writers and critiques all at once. GAF never ceases to amaze me.
 
That was fucking creepy. I hate robots. ;-;

Seriously, it's like this with every VGcats strip that comes out. No one's forcing these people to read them.

Do you think the original comic is good, or rather, are you unwilling to admit it's bad?

It's okay. Maybe Gaf would be a little bit less critical of VGcats if they didn't expect every one to be the second coming of Jesus. It's just a web comic guys...

Or maybe we'll be less critical when, you know... it actually has a joke for once.
 
Smash88 said:
Not really. I just do it to draw attention towards myself, and act like the cool kid on GAF's block.

I don't know man, it's just the same mentality as people who say "That movie critic couldn't direct that movie, so he shouldn't be a critic." Or people who criticize sports writers by saying they couldn't play or coach the sport. You don't have to be able to do something to have an opinion on it.

The idea is VG Cats comics are usually centered around poor jokes and stretch on for way too long. If you disagree? Fine. But that doesn't mean other people don't have the right to voice an opinion just because they're not webcomic creators.
 
I'm pretty sure he only made this comic so he'd have an excuse to go all-out on the art in that last panel.

Hasn't it been forever since someone posted one of these disasters here?

That was an awesome time. Way to end it.

That's because he takes like a month to make one comic. I don't know how he generates traffic when he updates so infrequently and irregularly.

Super Effective can be pretty funny.

Super Effective is funny in a "Okay, I played Pokemon and you're poking fun at it" way.

I'll admit it's better than VGCats, but it's not humorist.

I do think Scott's art now and then is great, but he really should hire a fucking writer if he's going to do comics. Eh-gawd.

Needs more Dr. McNinja.

OMG Thriller Reference.

Other than that, I like the art but don't get the comedy. Guess I should start from the beginning.

Alt-text: [spoiler]Everything I draw is canon, even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff.[/spoiler]

The current Nedroid trend on GAF is like a double-edged sword. People post great comics but then leave out the alt text. :(

That first Dr. McNinja is rather similar to a PBF comic IIRC.
Also looking through the Nedroid archive it looks like some older comics have been added. Like this one:

I laughed at this one more than I should have. :lol

Dr McNinja is farce, there's really not much to get. While there is a lot of satire, for the most part it's funny because of how over the top and ludicrous it is. I mean, there's nothing inherently funny about Mexicans. Or banditos. Or velociraptors.

Mexican banditos riding velociraptors on the other hand is piss funny.

It's simple. The human controlled character is being an idiot and is standing idle in spitter acid, and despite the egregious error on the human player's part, the AI controlled Coach is still trying to heal them so that they may continue playing.

Wrong. You can't move when being healed by another player. So he can't get out of the acid cause of the npc.

Actually thought it was pretty decent since it used all of coach's in game lines.

'Is this what you wanted,' said Beartato, gyrating wildly to the beat, sweat pouring down his giant goofy face. 'Is it worth it to you?' Reginald's macarena slowed visibly as he considered the question. Then he jumped into the air, clapping and turning a quarter-turn to the left: 'Yes, Beartato. Yes it is.'

Just discovered Nedroid... wtf is alt-text?

It's the HTML term for the text that appears in place of an image if that image fails to load or image loading is disabled for a browser.

What it basically means to Joe Internet User is you hold your cursor over the image for a couple seconds and the alt-text appears. Or you can right-click and select "Properties" and a window will pop up with information about the image including its alt-text.
 
Once upon a time I loved VGcats. But these days they are really boring. Ctrls-alt-del is pretty damn bad as well. Penny Arcade is still the best. Well XKCD really but thats just rarely gaming related.
 
Big Dr Mc ninja fan, but you def have to read a large amount of it to get a lot of the humor, apart from the blatantly obvious gags.

Worth following though!

I really don't see anything wrong with that. For me, PERSONALLY, a lot of the funny from VGCats and SuperEffective is from the faces. Like this one, when Oak says BITCH BE TRIPPIN BALLS.

I also have a soft spot for Pokemon humor, but honestly. 9 times out of 10 video game web comics are going to be picking fun at the games, unless they're character based like Penny-Arcade. But they're still funny, to me at least.

I laughed at funny faces when I was 12 as well.
