Nice! "By idiots, for idiots." So as long as his target audience is stupid people, he's allowed to be stupid?

Really now, Josh, you seem to be a bit more obsessive about this than it is healthy.

Exactly. It has already been established that if what he does is good enough to turn into a constantly milkable cashcow, he won't strive to get better. That applies to the use of language too, I guess. My opinion is that if the way he uses his native language makes your face flinch then you probably shouldn't read his stuff.

Maybe I'm obsessed with proper grammar, spelling, whatever. But at least I give a crap at all about it! Language is one of the few things separating us from animals. I know it's ridiculous to say that if we all stopped caring about language we'd end up flinging poo at each other, but seriously. You get all this stuff drilled into you from 1st grade on. It's like playing the same video game for 20 years and still sucking at it.

There, I'm done for now. Nobody bring it up again.

EDIT: Also, I'm obviously not irate at the grammar usage of anybody here, which is why I can tolerate having a conversation in this forum (most of the time).

Actually, Tim and his comic are lulz cows.



Josh, I'm sure you can recognize a 13-year-old-boy when you see one. If not, than you have just been arguing with one for pages.

I'm idealistic that way; if I keep spouting sense, maybe those who have not been blessed with my massive intellect will be drawn to the fountain of reason like moths to a flame.

Oh, how they must thirst.


Since apparently nobody is very good at sensing humor on the internet, this is intended to be taken humorously. That is all.

17, buddy.
But I'm sorry I had so many uneducated points filled with random insults.

It's not that people have difficulty sensing humour, it's that tone of voice cannot be recognised over the internet. You may make something with good hearted intention and have people tear it to pieces for being offensive.

Hell, even with tone of voice, intention and interpretation is a sketchy art at best.

Even an 18 year old can be considered a "13-year-old-boy". Sometimes age doesn't matter. Maturity matters.

Okay, but normally when saying someone is a 13 year old you do it because they are flaming, trolling and/or using bad english.
Sure, I'm a bit of a dick and I argue all the time, but I doubt I'm on the same level as that.

Oh and another thing.

I followed a link to a webcomic called Schlock Mercenary. Here it is again because links are good: Schlock Mercenary, by Howard Taylar.

Now, Schlock Mercenary appeals to me for a number of reasons.

Firstly, Schlock Mercenary is a damn good comic, somewhat on the wordy side, but funny when all's said and done.

Secondly, Schlock Mercenary is made by a man called Howard Taylar. My grandfather was called Howard, and he was a remarkable man, so any man called Howard gets a little bit more respect by default.

Thirdly, Schlock Mercenary is a space opera, and I bloody love a good space opera.

But the fourth reason, possibly one of the most important, is that in its eight year run, Howard Taylar has updated Schlock Mercenary once a day, every day, without fail, for eight years and counting.

So here we have a comic which can, on all fronts, make Tim Buckley eat a crate of steaming dick.

Schlock Mercenary, everybody!

Ugh. I originally wrote something harsh to do with bumping topics and flame material, but I just don't have the energy to insult someone who is so... I dunno a word for it, so I'll go with 'Meh'.

This topic is already at the top, so SAGE and

for the reason that I see so many repeated links/words/underlined words, I decided to not read the post at all, or click on the link, or anything. What the fuck is this shit.

I know being "edgy" and "retarded" is this season's look, but A) this isn't 4chan, so fuck off back to fapping miserably to pictures of children, B) try checking something out before you've written it off, and C) bite me.

What is SAGE anyway?
Sorry, I'm not up to date on my internet jargon. I'm still trying to get around 'stfu gtfo, noob'
Well, the educated ones put a comma.

Had a glance at shlock mercenary. You're arguments seem to include;
It's funny
The guy shares the name of a relative of yours
You enjoy the genre
He updates consistently

I'm going to go with the following arguments on CAD's side as to why it's better then Shlock Mercenary;
It's funny
The guy shares the name of a friend of mine
I enjoy the genre
He updates consistently

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying your arguments are vague. I'm also going to say it looks like you just wanted to promote the webcomic and thought you could do it in here without it seeming random.

Patch: The word sage comes from a Japanese word, sageru, which means to 'move down'. It is the opposite of age, which means to raise. While in Japanese forums this is in common use, in American forums sage has come to mean something slightly different.

This can be used as a courtesy in imageboard websites, allowing one to quietly add comments that may not be interesting enough to warrant pushing the thread to the top.

Pig disgusting Americans also may use sage as a way to show displeasure with the post being replied to.

Papas: Alright, I'm taking the troll bait. :}

Edgy and retarded? Look who talking.
Okay, immaturity aside, let me try to put this into perspective.
If you saw this without reading ANY of the words: http://img210.images...161/tempaa6.png
Would you think, "Wow, this must be an interesting, meaningful, relevant post!"?
At first glance, your post looks like this, only EVERY SINGLE UNDERLINED PHRASE IS THE SAME, so it looks worse. What kind of response did you honestly expect?
