Or Miranda or countless other characters that have meant more than the great grand-whatever of Kurtz's D&D character.
I know, right? Anyone who is new and goes into the Brent-Jade wedding stuff won't have the slightest idea who that chick Francis is talking to is.

Honestly, the only reason I really read PvP is because I don't bookmark the comics I read, and the URL kind of flows from my fingers out of habit.
I really think the only thing that's changed is now I have no reason to read his rants and my respect for him as dropped a little lower.
Dear God, so much this
Okay I'm calling bullshit on this one.
Seriously!? "I don't like the comic guys, not at all, the only reason I still go is because idle hands are Kurtz's playthings." What!?
Like . . . Nick's . . . prom night?
Let me add, I do enjoy PvP still, but it's true that I just kind of... end up typing in the website without thinking. Going there has just been part of my internet ritual since as long as I can internetremember.
I don't care for PVP, but Kurtz installed a virus that forces me to go there... a virus in my fingers!

I never type URLS any more, I have favorites or RSS feeds that do everything for me... but if I'm at an unfamiliar computer, my hands revert to habits from 10 years ago, and when I try to think of a URL to type, one of the first ones to come up is pvponline.com, from back when he hosted our forums.

Is that Nick in the green hoodie?

I don't hate the comic. I just have no particular interest in it. But when I'm idly at my computer, my hands tend to type out giantitp.com, penny-arcade.com, gunnerkrigg.com, starslip.com, pvponline.com, smbc-comics.com and gigaville.com (an extremely-poorly-drawn comic called "last days of foxhound" used to be at that last one. Now it's some weird poorly-drawn flash game.)
I also occasionally type out ctrlaltdel-online.com. Muscle memory does weird things.

What's sad is I have to think for a moment to remember other, better comics that I read now, like drmcninja.com

You know... it occurs to me that Kurtz may have forgotten he's even got a character named Marcy in his comic. Where is she in this big company shake-up?
PvP is chock full of Chuck Cunninghams.
At least the bus comes by all the time.
And now the Trenches is on break until March 20th. Maybe after a break it might start getting better. For me, it's been pretty much forgettable so far, mostly due to the main character being unlikable.
According to today's Penny Arcade, they'll be doing PVP next month. True?
Probably for a week or two, taking place next month. Not the entire month
The reason i never read PA was because I had to click to get to the comic. Yeah, it's a stupid excuse. I don't really care though. They're all free comics and if I can get my fix with another a whole lot easier I'll go there. QC is about the only one I check out anymore. It updates on time or ahead of time, and it has likeable characters. I'm sure Scott won't miss my loss of readership. He'll probably get plenty of new readers riding the success of friends, so good for him.
Sounds like he's getting as complacent as the paper alternatives he likes to rage about. Ad plastered websites are so 1990's tripod.

Yeah, the main character pretty much has no redeeming qualities... and yet I can't ke the feeling that the authors want us to like him, but didn't realize the character needed to actually be sympathetic for that to work.
I read Trenches for the tester horror stories. Everyone wails and gnashes their teeth about Foxconn, but we turn our backs to the plight of the employees at the big videogame houses?
Yeah, I know those folks signed up voluntarily, but how far is too far before they finally decide it's not worth that shit to get Robbie and Jase the next iteration of Madden?

I found QC through references over at Wapsi Square and (occasionally) PVP. QC's more of my fave (and I'm more active over in their forums).
That's one "full circle" joke.
