I've always wanted to make a VGCATS thread...

Sadly it's not too shabby, and he avoided the other Skyrim meme at least.

 

[Snakeyes]

Ugh.

Whatever happened to those Fatlus comics? They were great.

 

[OnPoint]

That second to last panel is totally unnecessary.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Everyone who understood that million-selling game reference is a fat dork

 

[Gravijah]

hohoho

 

[Princess Skittles]

Ugh.

.

 

[Ajemsuhgao]

I get it.

 

[Ultima_5]

That second to last panel is totally unnecessary.

I beg to differ. It builds comedic timing.

Spoiler

I'm kidding. Science can't measure the amount of unfunny

 

[Hot Coldman]

hohoho

whatchoo call me

 

[Gravijah]

whatchoo call me

oh sorry forgot you were from the uk

houhouhou

 

[Riposte]

I've always wanted to make a VGCATS thread...

Why? I don't understand why.

 

[BlueMagic]

That second to last panel is totally unnecessary.

Come on, that's just nitpicking.

 

[GoldandBlue]

His last update was in October. It took him this long to make this?

 

[Phonomezer]

It's an improvement on the usual output, I suppose.

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

3/10

Which is a 9/10 for VGcats.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Why? I don't understand why.

It's a coming-of-age event for all Gaming Side posters.

 

[Hot Coldman]

oh sorry forgot you were from the uk

houhouhou

I will totally get Stephen Fry on you

 

[Princess Skittles]

Memes are the lowest form of wit.

 

[sixteen-bit]

VGCats, terrible as always

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Why do I click on these things?

 

[scy]

Came in expecting 12-17 panels.

Came out relatively surprised.

 

[KittenMaster]

This doesn't even make me look forward to photoshops.

 

[Bentendo]

Why? I don't understand why.

VGCats threads are always the best threads. Unfortunately I don't think this comic is awful enough for that.

 

[Trevelyon]

I understand this and it was under 20 panels.

Good job!

 

[Femmeworth]

I don't get it. Should I feel happy?

 

[Princess Skittles]

Why do I click on these things?

For the 'shops, duh.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Threads of people ripping into VGcats is what really got me into GAF, but this isn't a bad enough strip to get gold out of.

 

[chubigans]

I laughed. Good job cats.

 

[Jocchan]

Us gamers, huh? Us gamers.

For the 'shops, duh.

He's two years late then.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

I laughed. Good job cats.

It's not actually made by cats, a human draws it.

 

[Gravijah]

the best part of the strip is the pink cats awesome winter clothes.

 

[Conceited]

They couldn't add 4 more panels to do an arrow to the knee joke?

 

[Luigi87]

It's not actually made by cats, a human draws it.

Best laugh I got from the whole thread.
Also, true.

 

[Sourtreats]

The Nyan Cat Tee was a nice touch.

 

[Princess Skittles]

 

[Forkball]

I anxiously await the edits.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

You should be downgraded to Junior for opening this thread.

Spoiler

No kidding

 

[Jocchan]

It's not actually made by cats, a human draws it.

There goes the only excuse this comic had for its humor.

I anxiously await the edits.

"I used to be a cat like you..."

 

[Stitch]

I laughed :/

 

[Phonomezer]

Omg, the people in the office are looking at me because I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING.

 

[Version 3.0]

I don't get it, presumably because I haven't played Skyrim. Anyone want to explain?

 

[Riposte]

This joke/reference has been done in so many videos on YouTube. Probably hundreds given the popularity of the game. With stuff like reddit populating 4chan-style comics and image macros and people just freely putting shit on YouTube, any sort of position of uniqueness VGcatz had in ripping off old memes has been lost. Basically, this dude is a C-grade internet dweller and if he wants his comic to be anything more than a 5th iteration of a copycat he needs to actually start writing jokes.

EDIT:
Also, his comics lack any sort of personality. Like I don't believe a human created it.

Also, try saying "Fus" outloud with your teeth clenched. lol funneh faces so random

 

[thetrin]

Everyone knows this is the best Skyrim thing ever:

[Wanace]

My god....not only is this a ripoff, it's a ripoff of a TERRIBLE comic.

Also obligatory:

 

[Chinner]

i havent played it but i assume they are referring to dragon shouts in skyrim.

[Kai Dracon]

The 2nd to last panel is superfluous because, as has always been the case, Scott WANTS to be storyboarding an animated sequence. He's an anime fan. He really is good with character body language and expressions. But he tends to visualize his comics as storyboards for something that actually moves.

The story of VGCats has always been that Scott would do great if teamed up with a writer. Stuff like Penny Arcade tends to have tight, polished sequential art logic behind it because Tycho is a good writer / scripter. Gabe has someone to bounce ideas off.

Wtf, why the hell not?

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Everything in this thread makes me appreciate PA even more.

 

[Chinner]

Wtf, why the hell not?

waiting for inevitable GOTY release and for the nerd hype to die down.
