Lol, really this is so true Upgrade Complete 2 (aka Upgrade Completer) and Grief used this mess. Remember pOnd? You seem to be picking up good jokes, what will come up with next week?

I'm sorry but I haven't found the past couple of comics funny at all. I enjoy the art style as it is perfect for a comic. But please try to improve the quality of the caption's humor.

Ah, the metajoke. Always good for a laugh.

good image, but the caption is sadly unoriginal. I was looking forward to something more witty.

I don't get it...

@Anon I can't see how you can't find these funny, some people tell me dying Petans are funny, is everybodies IQ getting lower, besides these comics are starting to relate with real games, if you don't know them you don't know games.

Agreed.

Just... Agreed.

However, I didn't find it that funny.

Yeah, I agree with the comic but I don't really find it funny... I would probably have been more interested in a post or rant about screamers. :P

.... That's it? The joke is that the guy hates screamers? I guess the little figure on screen bears a passing resemblance to the central figure in Edvard Munch's "The Scream", but that's not a joke either. You can't make a pun on the exact same word in the exact same context, and if that isn't what it's supposed to be then I have no idea what it is.
A lot of these comics remind me of that fictitious "I enjoy reading your e-mails." New Yorker comic in an episode of Seinfeld.

ha ha! he screamed over a screamer! how did he not suspect it? what an idiot. he says he hates screamers as in people who scream when they see something like that, AND the scream clip itself.

@JIGuest: Glad I wasn't the only one who got the joke :P

@V2Blast: Oh, there are 2 screamers in this comic. I can see where this one wants to do, but still don't really find it funny.

There should be a funniness competition, and the winner gets to write witty caption on all comics.

Terribly unfunny, as usual, AND it has the horrible face that looks like "BU" so I'm reminded of yet another horrible gaming-related comic.
