It's the only genocide I'd ever advocate.
Use lamb's blood to paint red crosses on their faces.

Put it on just before guests arrive and let it cycle through.
I guess the netflix thread lied to me, sorry about that
. Could also just be Netflix being weird.You think you're funny, but I didn't laugh. All you got was a sensible chuckle.
You're such a drama llama, Sploat.
Madness.
I like tea how I like my video game consoles - black. I don't mess about with that shit like Yorkshire tea, just give me Earl Grey. Coffee on the other hand I prefer super milky and sugary.

If I work at the same rate I'll be done three days after my deadline

That's all I wanted!
Now you're getting to know me! No molehills, only mountains 😄
Agreed with coffee, I tend to only use half a teaspoon of instant coffee then drown the rest in milk with a couple spoons of stevia

The first 60% of the marks in any uni coursework/test are very easy to get. Remember, diseconomies of scale exist for effort.

not seen Jam but I have seen a few of its sketches and the music in them is so good.

One of ma favs. There's an amazing album that mixes the tracks with monologues from the radio show.
Good shout. Also, Nathan Barley.
I know it's a mixed camp where IT Crowd is concerned, but I enjoyed it. It's not the best - that goes to Peep Show or Mighty Boosh - but it's still entertaining to watch, with a fair few standout moments.
darkplace is only unintentionally funny because it's awful and i'm not surprised it was never aired in the 80s

I usually really like Graham Linehan's stuff. I love Chris Morris and Richard Ayode too, but IT Crowd did nothing for me.
Peep Show is consistently excellent but MB lost it's charm for me with Series 3.
Ah the classic I'm smart calm and collected vs you're dumb big and ugly argument in panel form comic.

Oh and other Meat, did the office scandal get out to anyone else? Did your boss ask any of the other witnesses there for them to weigh in on what happened? Would at least clear the crazy out of the room, I'd imagine.
Ahh nice! Honestly PUTs and maybe Pharcyde would be good for a chill tune party. Pharcyde are who I've got this morning.Aww cheers mate
and man I'm still jelly that you got to see People Under The Stairs :O
U Wot. Though I suppose I'm technically not American (raised by Euro immigrants).
Jokes or not, I actually drink black tea as is and enjoy it. Have been drinking more green recently when I have tea.
Peep Show wants to take you out back for a round with a bit of wood.

I don't know what your agenda is on this issue but your summary of the comic definitely minimizes the message and thus doesn't really bode well for your actual opinion.
Right...
Can I be the one you cut to for .5 seconds for the US weather report?

Aaagh don't tempt me! I miss my old radio show, sitting in the studio with buttons. Although I know it's a joke, the world doesn't need another podcast of people unplanned chatting thinking they're funny. Plus these days aren't we all supposed to Twitch or whatever?
I'd totally be down for a monthly BritGAF podcast. Get a list of subjects covering everything, pick four or five different members each month to discuss them, and just go with the flow. Anyone ever listen to The Alex Baker Show on Kerrang! Radio? His shows, in which he presents with two co-hosts, is planned the night before and aired live on Sundays, and yet it always delivers. I reckon we should do it. I mean, who wouldn't want to listen to my silky-smooth Brummie accent!?

All I'm critiquing is the commonly used trope for debate based comics. If one was confident in their message they wouldn't have to depict the opposition as a blithering nincompoop. Look at basically 99% of comics featuring a debate and you realise they all do this.
As for #GatesInGames, I'd rather just stay out of it. Arseholes are going to be arseholes at the end of the day. C'est la vie and all that.

I can understand that. I feel like for this comic in particular it was more about highlighting the idea that some people have what appears to be a mental block in regards to what is actually being objected to and instead try and make the issue about something completely unrelated. Which is also where the "actually it's about ethics in games journalism" meme comes from. But yeah most comics with a strong opinion on one side or the other will have a hard time depicting opposing viewpoints in a neutral way, and political cartoons are the perfect example of the trope you describe. That being said I also agree with you and would rather not devote much if any time discussing game gate-o-rama.

While newspaper comics often aren't subtle or funny, they do work hard to get those comics tight - they're not a long diatribe with pictures, at their best they're nice and punchy. The humour's as important as the point. Matt's sketches for the Telegraph are great at this, particularly when he properly combines several stories of a day effortlessly.
THAT SAID
Less topical, Stephen Collins is my favourite. His Guardian weekend stuff never fails to make me laugh, he's the guy behind the Gove vs Aliens comic. http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/series/the-stephen-collins-cartoon

He did the one about Michael Gove trying to fly a plane into the mothership from ID4, right? I love that one.
edit: doh, you mentioned that in your post.

I almost bought a signed print of that, but missed out. My favourite of his, I can't see a Gove story without thinking of it.
That said, I have bought the GF a print of her favourite - http://i.guim.co.uk/static/w-1430/h...17394564056/Stephen-Collins-the-inter-005.jpg - for her birthday next week. The last line kills it.

If it didn't then it wouldn't be accurate. Just saw this on my TL and it's 100% something someone typed with sincerity and that people agree with https://twitter.com/ohboyvidya/status/540254226946199552
