Of course it is, and the only people that are going to compliment you are going to A) have an easily satisfied sense of humour and B) be nintendo fans.

This is purely made to massage nintendo fans ego's ... and you know it.

Also you've made Reggie look mildly attractive, stark contrast to real life.

That said, I like your drawing ability, you're very good!!

Coming from a 'reviewer' who doesn't play any other systems games, you'd know all about massaging egos.

Will you be reviewing the casual Kinect games Seece?

There's no need for that, Pyro. Seece is right - the comic is still overly wordy and too narrow in its focus.

You can have Nintendo-oiented comics from the Malstrom perspective that are still funny, but they need to be punchy.

IMO it's still too preachy and unfunny.

Well, I'm not perfect at drawing people, and I don't see how this is preaching.

I've already said the last time that I make these for Nintendo fans, all of my comics have been Nintendo related. I know my sense of humour is quite dry, but I really didn't know how to approach the issue. And I know I'm not the greatest artist. Drawing people, even cartoon ones, has always been rather difficult for me. My next comic, however, won't be industry related though.

Why don't you make a fantasy nintendo comic, or one that DOESN'T bash the industry/competitors? I know you're stance on the subject, but I'm right in that it's only going to be people that think the same as you that will ever enjoy these.

I can't imagine, a strong Nintendo fan, like Smeags, would ever find these amusing (hey I could be wrong, he has the best sense of humour on this site though)

I think you could be capable of some really good work, but it's being wasted on what comes across as something a bit bitter, which is kind of sad actually

Anyway I'll leave you in peace

I think you've been here long enough to know to ignore certain people when it comes to non anti-Nintendo topics.

Natural ignorant response, I have no hate for Nintendo whatsoever. Not an ounce in my body in fact.

Oh is that what he said? I thought that instead of keeping quiet, he said it was preachy and looked nothing like Reggie.

Maybe we shouldn't expect a professional, political cartoonist on a VG forum.



Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

A good topic, but i would've approached it in reverse, where Reggie speaks on Nintendo's existing lineup, but interviewers just dismiss what exists and want to keep focusing on the nonsense.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

I, for one, loved the punchile about Iwata being misquoted.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

How does this bash the competitors at all? Pleas enlighten me here as I don't see it. I also don't see any ego massaging either. It is a caricature of the typical reviewer/interviewer reaction to Nintendo games. A lot of "too cartoony", "needs to be more realistics", and Pachter's anual prediction of a Wii HD. It doesn't even compliment Nintendo on anything. I slags parts of the industry, but not in a way that insults or compliments any of the hardware or software manufacturers.

 I have to agree with Khuutra that it is a bit too long winded. Comedy always works better when you can get a few quick jokes in. The final punchline was good, but you had a bit too much build up. You could probably condense the whole of it down to 3 or so panels.

 Criticism aside it is good work. The drawing looks good by my standards and the joke behind it all is solid. Just needs a bit of refinement on delivery which is always the hardest part.

You should team up with Smeags. He could do the writing and jokes, you could do all the drawing. Perfect combination ;)

The artwork is really great (this is the first one of your comics I've read iirc, and I really wasn't expecting it to look that good), but I don't think the lines are funny at all; it just feels like you have an axe to grind.


Well, I know that my humour and writing is not perfect, but I really wasn't too sure about how to approach this issue. I made several alternations while making this, but I still didn't quite get it the way I wanted it.
