So, Critical Miss.

A Webcomic on the Escapist about a snarky game reviewer and lots of videogame commentary.

As expected of the genre, the art progresses a lot during it's run... First comic here and last until now here.

A couple of favorites would be this ICO related one and how to deal with controversy.

Well, I love this series Now,

and I needed another big loss of my time..

So it's like a match made in heaven to archive binge this.

New comic. Apparently Grey who usually writes the jokes is out of town so that leaves our artist to produce a couple of strips dealing with Erin's... Umm... expanded perception.

Check out this strip. In the second panel, the terms might start sounding familiar. ()

Binged it. Decent. Didn't get the title's pun until after being done with it.

I have no idea what to make of this comic. At first, I thought it was just another unfunny gaming comic. Then, I discovered that the author could parody other kinds of story so well as to evoke the same emotions those stories evoke while still being funny (something that even great writers struggle with.) And then the Stowaways arc began, and I was just blown away. I'm still disappointed with a lot of the jokes, but there's enough narrative power here that I can't care.

the first critical miss comic i read. and i've been reading escapist articles for a while ever since ZP sent me there.

On the unexpected courage of NPCs

Alright I want to see ''that'' Link in action.

Slowbro-mances and wacky brain-damage hijinks, this comic deserves more troper-attention, really.

Mass Effect 3: The Process. Currently oscilliating inbetween 4 and 5, myself.

Sans pillow, unfortunately.

Everyone's life is diminished by the lack of a Garrus body pillow.

Oh I see what you did there. Never saw what the big deal was about that, but I suppose most things even vaguely anti-BioWare goes these days.

Love Talis little "OOO YAY" gesture, though.

I think... yes. This is the best "Good-angel-bad-angel joke" I've ever seen.

I just love Kratos' pose and expression in that panel.

No one should ever wear pants, ever.

I cannot wait to see where this story-line will end up .

She namedropped TVTropes. Again, I think.

...is there a trope for that?

Notable References To TV Tropes.

A nice twist. Didn't expect it.

I love little Erin even if she is evil. And I love Link, no evens attached.

Hmmm I've seen lots of people saying that Erin hallucinated the whole thing, but I do think that her visions have the ability to become corporeal... after all when she did throw Peppy from the window of the car a truck ran over him.

It was poked fun at with that "jaw like a brick wall" line.

Huh. Caught up with the archive, at this page. Crank up my opinion of the author.

Thread Resurrection because this is glorious.

You can just feel his pain.

Resurrecting again for the next hit racing game straight from WW2

I think the problem with this comic and a lot of gaming webcomics is that it's not funny if you don't understand the context, and it can sometimes feel a bit too haughty and stuck-up its own rear when it talks about hot-button issues. There was a recent comic about buying PC upgrades, and that was moderately funny, but it was only really funny because of the facial expressions. There aren't enough punchlines with setups.

Still better than recent Penny Arcade, which reads like a completely different language half the time.
