And come off it, even Yahtzee himself admits YTotW sucked. I was greatly relieved when he stopped making webcomics, because they almost always dragged the quality of his better work down.

Actually, that was the one webcomic I particularly liked. While the others had their moments they didn't do it for me.

But hey, I've always appreciated Yahtzee's webcomics like all his other stuff. If you consider his comics to drag down the quality of his 'better work' I might feel sorry for you. But firstly, I have to ask what you considered his 'better work'.

Just found this:

Google 'ctrlaltdel buckley jackie' and click on the link for encyclopedia dramatica.

(Can't link it for some reason).

Fuck me, that's an eye opener. O_O

I've never read ctrlaltdel after first seeing what it was. I've always found it unfunny. Just a series of statements that go nowhere, most of the time.

CAD fans. To them I said, "You shit-promoting assholes! This is why there's nothing good on TV!" To me they said, "Suck on a big one, cocksmear! Who are you to tell us what we can or can't like?" Arguments regarding CAD's quality or lack thereof will usually always devolve into either "Continuing to read this drivel will only promote more of the same" versus "I enjoy it, and that's what matters" or "Stop giving this rampant asshole popularity for shitting this all over us!" versus "Fuck you, buddy! Why don't you fuck off back to your elitist friends so you can talk about how things you don't like suck in harmony?" depending on the debating sides' relative levels of pansiness.

I've stopped caring. If they like it, what the hell, let them throw roses at Buckley. The fans appear to truly believe the praise they give him is deserved, and there's no use in trying to tell them otherwise. It's kind of a shame that he can actually draw well but avoids doing so because his money mine is easier to maintain with copy/pasted graphics, but he doesn't strike me as the type to put significant effort into his work beyond what's needed for popularity anyway.

And come off it, even Yahtzee himself admits YTotW sucked. I was greatly relieved when he stopped making webcomics, because they almost always dragged the quality of his better work down.


Okay, I have a question. And. I'm. Going. To. Talk. Slowly.

Did you actually READ the posts above, or did you simply scroll down the page while wanking yourself raw to another rerun of Gilligan's Island?

Yes you're right, the thread WILL end up with at least one of those arguments. It's a little hard not to, seeing as you've named pretty much ALL the possible responses. And since you either didn't notice or didn't pay attention, myself and others are not going to as you so aptly put it "go throw roses at Buckley". If you actually read this thread you'd have noticed that I'm in agreement that Buckley is a dicksmasher. But of course you didn't notice this because you were busy wanking to Gilligan's Island. Next time you open your mouth make sure you know what you're talking about, otherwise you look stupid.

And one last thing. Before you say another goddamned word to try to make your already withered and useless little pindick feel any better about the gigantic sphincter it's attached to; this post has NOTHING to do with Buckley, CAD, dicksmashing or even webcomics in general. This is about me blowing up in your stupid goddamned face for putting ME and other people who, like you, DON"T CARE into same category as all the retards who worship the ground Captain Dicksmasher farts on simply because we're not typing out "omg cad suxorz" with one hand and eating a bucket of buffalo wings with the other. Because guess what, even if you don't particularly like one thing that some of us think is tolerable or even enjoyable, we're not going to drop everything and come scurrying over to cheer and bring you more cheese dip like frightened little Boy Scouts. Rule number one of all forums is, if you don't like what you see then either close the window or deal with it and move the fuck on, not fling half-arsed insults around while hanging off the back of a bandwagon. And by all means respond by flaming me back, because not only do I give LESS of a fuck than a paraplegic leper with amoebic dysentry, but I'M LOUDER THAN YOU!


Jesus fucking Joseph on the couch Christ I HATE it when people do that. Maybe this dude should join the Scientologists. With those brilliant powers of deduction and logic I'm sure he'll fit right in.

Considering this thread is going abso-fuckin'-lutely nowhere except a flame war (I probably didn't help) I call we get this turkey locked.
I'm not pessimistic; I've just realised that the light at the end of the tunnel is an incoming train.

I am quite a big fan of the CAD comic, as for Tim Buckley i have no strong feelings towards him either way.. I don't really feel my opinion of him has any bearing on whether i like the comic or not.

I have read every CAD to date and as such, have formed a "bond" with the characters there in. Now i can understand why some readers may question whether the comic is funny or not, because quite a few of the punch-lines are based around the characters personalities and relationships. As for the game referenced comics ill admit most of those go over my head as i haven't played the game or really couldn't give a rats ass about it.. I read CAD to follow its plot.. Complaining about its content is like watching "Friends" and complaining for it being Friends!


You mean that there are inside jokes that makes them funny?

Out of ten strips in the comic, only 3 or 4 are reference to pop culture or gaming (which may be rip offs from PA or something else). A web comic which has the theme of videogames, shoud not act as a soap opera.

If Buckley is gonna keep growing hair and not listening to criticism and charge ten bucks on his 'members only' section which are just the commentaries and that crappy animated series, he is making money out of worthless(may be too harsh of a word, but I'll be using it anyway) pixels.

Yahtzee on the other hand, charges 5 bucks for a game which is really worth playing while Buckley is charging twice for something less worth. That is what I call "unfair" credit.

I don't recall him ever saying, "Hey Legion," before typing out his post. The thing is alot of his fans suck his dick and praise him, if you aren't one then his post obviously didn't apply to you.

You not only contributed but you started the flame war dumbass, and we shouldn't close the thread because someone hurt your feelings. It was fine until you posted that shit, seriously:

You mentioned wanking to Giligans Island twice, why?
Jesus fucking Joseph on the couch ?
Dicksmasher?

What the fuck?

And are you implying Giligans Island is worse then CAD?

Before someone tries to close this page, I would like to say that I am not going to read the works of a fascist like Buckley in a million years.

PS: Shouting/swearing too much is a no-no.

Hm, I was gonna write a lengthy post here too. Now that I've read half of it I decided not to, so here is a totally useless post for you all. Enjoy.

It really is hilarious how you lot accuse CAD fanboys of being vile slavering beasts, and Buckley of being, at least, a plagiarizing pedophile who DARES to charge ten dollars for a product completely different than what Yahtzee sells for five.

And yes, some of the ardent CAD fans kiss Buckley's ass. Fans tend to do that. For instance, when Yahtzee points out his dislike for Buckley certain people hop up to happily say that the object of Yahtzee's ire is pure evil incarnate.

Yeah, they're not exactly new points to be making, but they're true nonetheless.

Thing is, the name of this topic itself is highly unhelpful. The point is not Yahtzee vs. CAD. That'd be a Camp A vs. Camp B flame war that would go completely nowhere.
It's not stalking! It's artistic reference!

I read cad. I even remember a time in the distant past when I actually enjoyed it. This was because it was my first exposure to web comics and now I have found multiple examples of web comics with better stories better art and less paedophilia. Now though I continue reading cad because I'm the sort of guy who will stay up watching a really shitty movie till 3am on a day when I have work in the morning. Basically I have a compulsive need to see how shitty fiction ends.

It will not end for quite a while, as John Solomon said, it is highly unlikely that the bloke would kill his cash cow when it's going so well for him.

Update: Ignore the topic's title. I wasn't intending to start any "war". Keep it a discussion, please.

One other thing: A reason why I made this thread is because I agree with Yahtzee because he took the words out of my mouth and that I feel quite guilty of following Tim.

(The are also some stuff I want to keep secret for now till' it comes the right time to show em' off).

Now, back to the discussion.

This happened back when I was 17:
The story is something which had its ups and downs as time passed by. I kept on reading CAD until I showed to some people online. They found it highly unfunny except for some strip of the John Woo game where John falls down the stairs and brakes his neck. I questioned my own sense of humor From that day onward, I expanded my webcomic vision, but fell short and retired temporarily, till I went through Yahtzee's list and found heaven on his website since I, myself am a hardcore essay and fiction fan.

(I "phailed" at humor back in those days).

I started reading YTOTW. I started reading the comic expecting some lame stuff and a bag of horse testicles. I was surprised. The comic had a decent structure. It was in the genre of sci-fi. Though I wasn't a fan of that genre, it actually pulled me in really bad. I lost track of time and ended up reading it till the very end. It was the..thing that got me to...check on the games too.

Note: This user was in a semi-conscious state when we typed this down.
