How unbelievably low-class that comic artist is.

This is why video games are never taken seriously as an artform. The street prophets and commentators are sexually-frustrated 15-year-old boys who happen to be in their late 20's.

What the fuck happened to my hobby? I am ashamed to refer to myself as a gamer.

 

EDIT: May I take a step back an ask a question? Who the hell are we? This is over a VIDEO GAME. A TOY, basically. For the actions of a PR firm, or for the unfulfilled wishes of customers and reviewers, an otherwise UNRELATED talented young female professional is slandered by having her character impeached. For what? What did she ever do to deserve this? I don't even like Assassin's Creed. I don't even own a 360 or a PS3. But this is unconscionable.

Maybe because I was brought up to treat women with the utmost respect, but this irks me in ways I never thought the internet could. Kee-rist. What is wrong with these guys?

Maybe I shouldn't be surprised. To paraphrase a rather obscure Law and Order episode:

Japanese Business Man: Today our company opened a new car factory in town. 6,000 new jobs! This afternoon somebody threw paint on my car. It was disturbing... but expected.


If this truly bothers you, I can only surmise that you have not been around on the internet for very long or explored its darkest corridors. I'm sorry, but the internet is not a happy place filled with sunshine and adorable bunnies. It is a dark and scary place much akin to a haunted, zombie and demon filled Alcatraz. It will gleefully laugh as it joyously rips apart all good sentiments you possess in regards to human nature and moral/ethical values. It will dance on their shreds and it will make you cry. You will face the dogs. You will face the bees. And you will also face the dogs with bees in their mouth so that when they bark they shoot bees. In order to successfully cope with the internet, you must become stronger as a person. That is not easy. However, rest assured that we have the technology. We can rebuild your childhood dreams and we can put them back to the way that they were. Then the internet will shatter them again.

You may as well just set your homepage to a 403 error page and pleasantly go about your life blissfully ignorant of the true horrors of the internet. Your everlasting soul will surely thank you and you will never again have to be subjected to the horrors of such a comic.

...

Now, I must be off lest the internet zombies catch me.
