No, it's when you stop getting older that you die. Duh.

Haha, what a terrible thing to say to someone who's going to try to quit smoking. "It never gets better." :p

Happy birthday, Scoop. ... And those other guys, I guess. Whatever.

It's not going to feel like a real cigarette unless people are treating you like a pariah and you're standing outside in the cold with it, anyway.

Scoop posted about how much he hates MegaTokyo (apparently more than Ctrl+Alt+Del, but that's surely just an exaggeration!) at the beginning of this page. It's seems pretty terrible, but luckily I've always had the good sense to stay away from it. Enjoy reading Ctrl+Alt+Del! Other awesome webcomics: Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal and The Non-Adventures of Wonderella.

I second Scoop's recommendation of Shortpacked! for anyone who's into toy collecting. Or even if you're not, because David Willis is just that good a writer. I really need to read Gunnerkrigg Court. I remember checking it out when it was new, and now I keep hearing great things about it, so I kind of regret not bookmarking it back then. No one likes archive trawling.

"People you would most like to get stuck in a stairwell with." Hm, doesn't have the same ring to it.

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, huh?

That Demon's Souls guy is pretty rude and needs to stop comparing apples and oranges. D:

So he owes you, then. Fair enough. He should have known that there's no such thing as a free meal.

Is it "Hi, I'm a completely different game and while I'm focused on strategic combat, Dragon Age is focused on story and characters"? Because if so, I agree.

Yes, but unless you're paying him, I assume he's doing it because he gets some sort of enjoyment out of it. Or maybe he just really, really likes you. Or you've got something on him. Whichever.

If this place feels like work, he's doing it wrong.

Unless one of us has been personally involved in any of the drama surrounding Tim Buckley (anyone here Jackie?), the best you're going to get is secondhand accounts. Anyway, you're free to read whatever webcomic you want. Even if Ctrl+Alt+Del is objectively bad. Denmark and Norway are sleeping with each other. Confirm/deny?

It wasn't, so that's one down - and it's only January 2nd. This will be a cinch! As for me, I too would like to move out of my parents' house and be more creative. Also, a job would be nice. And maybe go back to university and write my thesis before it's too late. If I do half of those I'll be content.

People take their webcomics very seriously.

Add me to the list of people who loved the original Dragon Age, though for some reason I keep forgetting that the sequel will be released soon.

Tim Buckley is really paranoid about new members. It's somewhat understandable, though. I've been following a hate thread over at the Something Awful forums, and most of the people posting over there have either tried to get accounts on his forum or have one or several undercover accounts already. It's no wonder his forum is pretty much dead these days. I've become somewhat obsessed with Ctrl+Alt+Del recently, even going so far as to watch the hilarious (for all the wrong reasons) animated series. Last year, Buckley introduced a new character, whose design, as it turned out, was ripped off from someone else. Buckley's first defense was "it was just a reference", but a few days later he went back and slightly tweaked her design in all of her earlier appearances. That's the kind of thing that makes me read his webcomic. Man, I'm totally coming off as a seething ball of hatred right now. Good gaming webcomics: the aforementioned Manly Guys Doing Manly Things, Brawl in the Family and Awkward Zombie.

You should have stayed and done your job anyway. That would have shown them!

Thanks. I hope to at least guess more screenshots than Dyson.

That's okay. I'm sure you make up for it in other areas.

8 is Dog's Life.

Clearly you've never read Ctrl+Alt+Del.

The only movie I watched at the cinema in 2010 was Avatar, but I pretty much agree with Dannyboy's picks for movies of the year.
