[Webcomic] PVP Discussion

I agree with CK, this time it made sense. He was reading the Santa letter and would have just been starting at the paper for a normal panel. It's almost as if Steve remembered that he actually has some talent and used it.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day, or some such. Make enough panels like that and some will fall in the right place by random chance.
 
Its funny because they said they were full, but actually had room for more dessert!

I know theres nothing new under the sun, but I can think of like 3 times that foxtrot alone has done that joke.
 
HOLY FUCK PVP STILL EXISTS!?!?!!?

I swear to Thor I had like blanked on the whole webcomic origin of this place. Damn, is Kurtz still a hack? I'm afraid to even look D:

Pfft. I'll do you one better. Scott's already done the joke (or variations of it) three times previously in PvP - '98, '01, and '03.

Sort of. Ethan destroyed the universe and all reality as we know it. Personally, I thought it was well done, but I seem to be in the minority.
 
I just saw the last few comics... granted I'm literally like 6 years behind or something, but I thought the only "change" to reality was Ethan died, and then we see liek flash forwards of what happened to the rest. Oh man, I'm sorry, but that pacing and writing is crap. The drawing got much better than I remembered it though.

Yeah this ending could've worked for me, but this story-line just came out of fucking no-where. I'll admit I felt sad when Ethan was saying good-bye to Lilah, but I can't stop thinking that this story started out AS A SILLY VIDEO GAME STORY-LINE! Terrible, TERRIBLE transition.

Isn't harmless fun turning deadly like tragedy 101 though?
 

Once again, Brent is given one of the worst punch-lines EVER!

A....video game joke? This comic makes those? News to me!

Seriously though, a systems update joke? The 2000s called they want their joke back( Yes I know the wii and WiiU get a bunch of updates but still)!
 
I find it funniest when physical humor is happening, like Francis getting beaned by a WiiU, or Brent getting mauled by a panda.

Which, now that I think about it, doesn't speak well for the quality of the writing.
 
Also Brent...complaining about online gamers being akin to frat boys? I wouldn't mind as much if not for his serious ass face making him look like he's actually making a point that hasn't been pointed out. Brent doesn't give off the same aura he did back in the early years of the strip. It seems like the only thing remaining of his original persona would be his relationship with Jade, all other remnants of his character are WASHED away. Him being an artist: GONE! Hilarious get rich quick schemes: DONEZO! Brent saying something mean and then gaining physical harm- GODFATHER 3!Those iconic sunglasses that were a staple part of his design and was a terrible fucking idea to change it to him having normal glasses because his sunglasses worked for him: GONE!

He still does rants though, but what differs from then and now is that back then one of the characters would give him a rebuttal and he would possibly pay for his actions. Now, he just does a rant and...nothing happens. Like in every other web-comic that exists he has become one of those fucking characters who rants about some stupid bull-shit and nobody gives him a retort. People disagreeing with Brent and Brent gaining physical harm were some of the funniest parts of the strip.

This has been Mickee kvetching about PvP for the ubteenth time, SIGNING OFF!
 
PvP today looks like how my game play will go when/if I ever play ZombiU. Except I think it will take less time.

Where is this writing that Kurtz says he's been working on?
Dis writing.

2013 will also be the year I launch my next comic, Table Titans. I’m very nervous about this one for a couple of reasons: Mostly because I’m having such a good time writing, sketching and world-building. If you guys don’t like it, I’m going to be devistated. Table Titans is such a different animal from PvP, which I write by the seat of my pants. I’ve never worked this hard on a story before.
If we don't like it, he will be DEVISTATED.

Isn't it kind of ironic that he's diving back into gaming jokes right after publicly lambasting Tim Buckley for doing the same thing? I mean, that's just odd timing, right?

When Buckley does it, it's crap.

When The Kurtz does it, it's DEVISTATING TASTEMAKERING!!!

It would be if Kurtz was killing off his long running main characters to reboot the strip with minor, background characters, which is what he publicly lambasted Buckley about.

I don't get it.
It's a character in WoW who literally does nothing but sit by a lake all day and drink. He will give you tips on what crops to plant. Later, if you befriend him enough, he moves to your farm...and sits by the lake there all day. He has many quests to give you and all but one of them have you getting him different types of drinks.
 
I love the last few days. Today's was frickin' hilarious! But only if you play WoW.
Same, I actually laughed. Poor Jogu.[DOUBLEPOST=1357463156][/DOUBLEPOST]
I don't get it.
Jogu's race lives an entire zone away, and he sits at a rancid puddle surrounded by dead fish doing nothing but get sloshed by himself. The only quest he gives you is to bring him more booze, and for a price he'll drunkenly slur what crops will harvest best on your farm the next day.

The people at Halforums start discussing how annoying Shecky is... and Shecky makes a week-long appearance in PvP.

Last Friday the people at Halforums started discussing Downton Abbey... and PvP has Downton Abbey comics.

Hmmmm...
