    Oh, wow. Lost Wind. I've completely forgotten about this game.
    (The joke still sucks, BTW.)
    080722.jpg

    This is all this comic is in the end. A fanboy shouting "BETRAYAL" like a retard, in this case over a company targeting demographics besides their established fanboys.
    (P.S. to Scotty boy; Nintendo was still making games for more their more "hardcore" fans (Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, and Super Mario Galaxy) in addition to casual fare like Wii Sports. Also in a few short weeks after that "evil" E3 conference all about those "evil" casual games (which also showcased Wario Land: Shake It, a great game I'm going to assume that you ignored because it wasn't "hardcore" and mainstream enough), Nintendo announced a new Punch-Out game since 1994 and a third Mario & Luigi RPG. Fuck off with these retarded strawman vegetable comics you keep making, and learn to fucking cope for once.)

    That's fucking right, boys! A two parter with the punchlines being nothing more than abortion and violence, and in between said two parter is yet another self insert comic because Scott felt like throwing a bitch fit over people not liking the joke, complete with its own punchline being "dead fetuses". Seriously, what the fuck is up with webcomic authors having this fixation on abortions?!
    (This is your cue to provide some additional commentary on this one, @One Too Many. Feel free to also make some commentary on that stupid potato strawman, if you feel like it.)

    Lostwinds was a good game, i'm glad that it had the best punchline out of any of these.

    I was wondering when we'd get to those particular set of comics, they really are the epitome of VG Cats.
    • Immature sex jokes
    • Stretching a "joke" to the point it's annoying
    • Making references to random shit for the sake of references
    • Violence
    • Self incest complaining about bad reception
    • More violence
    • Lame jokes that go nowhere
    • Even more violence
    The only thing missing is a joke about poop.

    Though seriously, does anyone here have any idea why webcomic authors have this fixation on abortion? I mean, really, between these, that one Zootopia fan comic, and Loss.Jpeg, I'm beginning to think working on webcomics might be a sign of a very specific symptom.

    Pretty sure you also forgot "obnoxious fanboyism"
    081103.jpg
    LOL DOGGIE DUG UP A RUBBER! THIS IS SO LE EPIC FUNNY XD AND NOT AT ALL DISGUSTING!
    081115.jpg
    Punchline: suicide. Look, I know Nuts and Bolts was a divisive (at best) game the moment it was announced, but I still feel like Scott's depiction of the bear and bird duo is (ironically) more insulting than Nuts and Bolts ever was. And yes, that even includes the beginning of the game that features Banjo and Kazooie as out of shape lard asses (a favorite among YouTubers hungry for their precious clicks).
    081221.jpg
    LOL LEFT 4 DEAD KILLS SANTA LOL BLOOD EVERYWHERE LOL
    090107.jpg
    What if Frosty the Snowman but satanic?
    090125.jpg
    LOL WII SUX BECAUSE OF BAD PORTS OF GAMES THAT WERE NEVER MEANT TO RUN ON THE SYSTEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
    (Semi-related fact: on his retarded blog, Scott actually insulted Nintendo for releasing Mario Kart Wii on the same week as GTA IV. Yes, he actually thought Mario Kart Wii was competing with GTA IV. And he somehow thought fucking Mario Kart of all things would bomb because of that. I guess part of being a "super hardcore gamer" is rejecting any kind of rational thought or common sense. And intelligence, but that goes without saying.)
    090225.jpg
    Wow, Scott! Now you're just quoting lines from a far better source of entertainment than your shitty comic as a substitute for making your own jokes! And no, I'm not joking when I said the Street Fighter movie is better than VG Cats.
    090303.jpg Oh look, yet another "LOL ONLINE GAMING SUX LOL" comic. Nothing to see here, folks!
    090326.jpg
    That's a lot of words for such a weak punchline. I have nothing more to say about this one.

    Here it is. The one that made pulled the wool out of my eyes and realized that VG Cats was shit when I first saw, and the very same one comic that ultimately led to the creation of this thread in the first place. Something so shitty in just about everything that it deserves its own separate post. I present to you: Nerd Rage.
    090423.jpg There's much shit about this that I actually feel the need to break it down with bullet points.
    • First two panels alone shows that Scotty boy is making this retarded temper tantrum all over some shitty bro gamer show made by d-bag Hollywood producers that no nothing about games.
    • I can already tell right off the bat that Scott somehow thought the Colbert Report wasn't satire on those shitty news networks such as FOX. This abomination is more like Ann Coulter, if she was even more retarded than usual.
    • "GAMERS: THE MOST OPPRESSED GROUP OF ALL"
    • Seriously, Scott. Casual games and shovelware have been around since the days of the Atari. The Wii and and games like Rock Band was never going to be the death of video games, you elitist twat!
    • On that whole "bastardized easy mode version of classics" BS your stupid pink cat spewed out: most of those old games (Ghosts N' Goblins and Battletoads immediately come to mind) were obscenely hard entirely due to bullshit game design. You just think games being completely unfair horse shit is fun because you grew up with them.
    • "When was the last time you played a truly great game?" How about Twilight Princess, Okami, Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6, Punch-Out on Wii, Super Mario Galaxy, Portal, Metroid Prime 3, Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, and Red Dead Redemption, for starters? Fuck your retarded fallacies, and fuck your stupid childhood, Scott.
    • "FUCK YOU!" RIGHT BACK AT YA, SCOTT!
    • "WE DIDN'T SPEND YEARS AS SOCIAL OUTCASTS JUST TO SEE YOU FUCK IT UP!" Seriously, this shit is just a gamer's rise up meme but 100% unironic
    • "I know what you are, and what you are not" I do, too. We're not whiny killjoys that decided to be some sort of gamer nazi because we don't feel special anymore. So what, Scott, want a teddy bear to protect yourself from the "evil" casual gamers?! Baby want a bottle?! Fuck you!
    • There's probably more stupid shit in this comic that I'm going to let @One Too Many tackle. Or he can just make his own statements on the same stupid shite that I mentioned.

    The gamers one, yeah it's pretty bad. It's both not funny and way too long.

    This one happens to be even worse than usual, thanks to both those traits and the simple fact that it's an unhinged rant by the author that is nothing more than this

    Important takeaway from this is video games are a hobby, not a lifestyle.

    You know, it's always weird when these "hardcore gamers" always complain about casual games, but they always seem to give Tetris a pass even though it is a casual game and probably the first most successful one.

    And to add insult to injury, this is the comic uploaded after that putrid shit.
    090627.jpg
    That's right, a guest comic by none other Psyguy himself. For those that either forgot about him or don't know, here's a good summary by the Bad Webcomics Wiki about this genuine scumbag.
    Something I want to point out: Scott has deleted several VG Cats strips out of embarrassment (or in some cases to hide his nasty personality). Guest comics were no exception to this deletion shit, and you would think after all that shit about Psyguy's exes came to light, Scott would delete this one, simply because having a guest comic by Psyguy would most certainly not make him look good (especially since several associates and friends of Bryon already knew about the abuse and just helped him hide it). But nope, let's keep the guest comic created by an abusive pedophile up! Good job, Scott!
    (P.S.: The guy who did the art for this, Supacrikeydave, is only marginally better than Psyguy; Dave happens to be an abusive pedophile himself, only difference being that it's not on the same severity as Bryon. So this is technically a guest comic created by two genuine wastes of space.)/SPOILER]

    Ah, VGCats.
    The "I thought it was funny in 8th grade with my brothers" webcomic. Honestly I forgot how dark it was. I remember the "Adaptation With No Name" where people dubbed it and found that to be not too bad. It definitely hasn't aged as well as I remember it, but I am kinda nostalgia for it.

    I think that is what a lot of people's experience with it is. I honestly don't remember myself reading it regularly, but I do remember people posting the comic pages on various forums. I didn't know what it was called at the time, but I knew the art style. I then heard about all the furries in the fanbase and the autism associated with that and I was like "What is VGCats? Oh yeah! That comic..."

    These days though I despite all of that "lulsonerdy" humor especially since being a "nerd" is apparently cool now and everything feels so corporate as a result.

    I miss when people just made shit to be on the internet. Something was lost when the smartphone era really blew up in popularity.

    I guess the constant distraction of checking updates takes energy and attention away from doing other stuff.

    People still make stuff to share on the internet though (although now more "monetized" with crap like Patreon).

    Being a gamer, on the other hand, was never cool, and will almost certainly never be cool.

    That's what I noticed about old 8-bit games: they seem to always be ridiculously hard ("Nintendohard"). I think it could've come from from arcade games being hard on purpose to get the player to put in more coins. Which is also where the "running out of lives" and "game over" concepts come from.
