I remember seeing the comic a few months ago and thought that the art was getting worse. I'm surprised that it kept doing that. That hair doesn't even look like hair anymore.

I haven't read the comic in years but someone posted a recent one in another thread and I couldn't believe how ugly the art was. It's kind of hard to describe Gabe's head situation where instead of hair he has this bizarre stylized shape just vaguely attached to the head. Also a couple of years ago for some reason he decided that everyone's teeth should just be one piece and bucktoothed.

The teeth are some of the worst parts. The eldritch abominations I have seen from some of the most recent strips are things of nightmares. Sometimes he exaggerates their crookedness and length to show how distraught the characters are, but ultimately they just look like escaped mental asylum patients bent on scaring the poo poo out of anyone too ignorant to get close. The red noses stuff is annoying and just needs to stop because it doesn't actually add anything to the drawing but an unnerving atmosphere. The hair is the part I'm least bothered by, but that doesn't mean I don't notice it- there are many frames where Gabe's hair is twice the size of the rest of his head.

But jesus god those teeth, those teeth

I don't understand this question because it's explained like six times. Frodo has to take the ring to Mount Doom because anything too obvious or anyone too powerful is going to attract Sauron's attention, and Sauron's powerful enough to just take the eagles out of the sky. This is why half of the last book is one big decoy while two hobbits sneak around the back: they're the only ones that are beneath Sauron's notice.

Tomb Raider (2013) is really good. Again. Still. I played it on a roommate's ps3 back when it came out, but now im playing the definitive edition on ps4. I can't wait for the new one. I hope it actually comes out on ps4.

It's scientifically proven that having kids makes you way less funny. Medical experts want to dissect Louis CK to learn how he has avoided this fate.

Ehh, they're plenty of funny people who didn't get less funny when they had kids. I think its a less of a kids thing and more of a "well I am totally an adult now" thing which can be trigger by many things including kids.

ie, Justin McElroy in fact became funnier once having kids.

It's a good question. Splatoon at least allowed you to channel the audio through the gamepad audio jack. I guess Atlus was still new to the concept.

You have to see how crate opening works in CS:GO. It's literally a slot machine that shows you what you just barely missed getting. It's basically designed to develop gambling habbits or attract gamblers so having people ride this idea out is the next logical step.

I mainly just can't believe that Gabe managed to put his knife collecting hobby into a game and then proceeded to make it so big that people are ruining their lives with it.

I've returned to The Witcher 3 after spending a moment to read up on the background lore and stuff, and I like it and it's good but I kind of wish someone made a game like it, with similar political themes, only set it in the real world.

Like, Final Fantasy Tactics would have been better if it were just literally the War of the Roses, IMO. And The Witcher 3 would be more interesting to me if it were just literally the Napoleonic Wars or whatever it's trying to crib

Edutainment is the name of the game!

Every year I reinstall SWAT 4 and get ready for some tacticool action, and then very quickly remember why I stopped playing it the last time. Your AI partners are suicidally incompetent, which will lose you points when they run around a corner into an enemy. And oh my god the ridiculous damage system, you'll unload your shotgun into an unarmoured enemy's back just for them to do a 360 and kill you with one shot.
