AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Here is my commentary on Gamergate, Zoe Quinn and Sarkeesian all rolled into one. At some point, I hope gaming can return to being a sanctuary from the real world rather than a political tar pit for people to sling mud at each other. This recent fighting has really reduced my faith in humanity.

Why should anyone talk about video games and the culture surrounding it in any critical capacity? Just play video games. :^)

Here's a comic I found somewhat recently and fell in love with. The marker work is so good.

The question is what's more fun, playing video games or complaining about them? I'm more for the former and I'd suggest to the people who enjoy the latter, why don't they join a video game corporation and learn programming so they can make their own idealized video games?

One of the recent good comics I've been enjoying is the The Creepy Case Files of Margo Maloo. Brilliant art style, competent storyline, all around pretty entertaining: http://www.drewweing.com/comic/page-001/

It's not complaining. It's criticizing. The people that view it as complaining see nothing wrong with how things are being handled, mostly because they're the ones being catered to.

Lots of people are learning how to develop games on their own. People like Zoe Quinn. You don't have to join a studio to make games. Some would argue against it because the working conditions for workers at big name devs are really appalling. Long hours, low pay, workers will probably get fired once the game is completed and if you step out of line, you'll get replaced by some trade school graduate for cheaper.

I'll stop arguing now. Take this cute unicorn comic.

Spender smash.

I actually agree with a large amount that you've said about the industry and how unfair and rigged it is towards people like women. I think people need to broaden their horizons and allow more diverse people into the industry, that way we might see more balanced games that everyone can enjoy.

That said, people who don't like my brand of comics may like the one I just wrote. Its a self parody, namely at the edgy violence my comic used to incorporate. I have to admit my old approach to writing webcomics was very easy to mock so thats exactly what I'm doing here. Tell me how I did! I'm trying to get on a road to approaching decency.

PS: I love the way Brawl In The Family personifies Nintendo characters so I can actually care about them versus the mindless shells they are in the actual games. They have a very Disney like quality so I gotta give the guy who does it points!

Johnny will be Forge's medium.

As of yesterday's Gunnerkrigg Court we are back in Zimmy land and the seraphs look terrifying.

This chapter is getting really, really intense for starting out so lighthearted. I love it.

Kat is finally in Zimmyland.

Prepare to be terrified if you remember what she looks like to Zimmy.

Are you kidding that's one of the things I'm looking forward to most!

Well

Part 2 of Brawl in the Family's finale is out

After the teasing with the big mystery it turned out to just be whoa Meta Knight looks perfectly fine under his mask and he's exactly like Kirby as was established back in the Cocoon Academy arc

Big whoop

The last panel was pretty funny despite the obvious setup though

Here's a feel good comic I wrote inspired by Kate's interest in video games. The character of Nicole was around before I knew of Kate's site but I was inspired to make her someone who cares intensely about video games enough to enter that career field because of it. I'm heavily supportive of women in gaming because I feel that not enough core decisions in making video games have an influence from female gamers to make the atmosphere of gaming truly enjoyable for everyone.

Goblins updated for the first time in a few months and I can't even decipher what actions are going on in the panels. I've always hard a hard time telling what was going on in THunt's close-combat fight scenes but this is the most confusing one yet.
