Have you read Powerup Comics! by Unwinder and various Truth and Beauty Bombs forum members?
Yes, completely!
Yes, partially
No
I've never heard of it
"A comic about gamers and gaming, and a psycho PS2 that wants to take over the world."
Propaganda:
"I <3 Oil"
Read it here!
That one Powerup Comics panel having become a recognizable meme, you know the one
is incredibly hilarious to me because Powerup Comics started as an incredibly elaborate joke back in 2007 in the Truth & Beauty Bomb forums (you know it's old when it involved forums), born from the beautiful mind of the artist Unwinder, plus a lot of community support for ideas and assets, as a way of parodying and trolling Ctrl+Alt+Del -- and, universally, webcomics about two gamers on a couch -- by creating the worst but still feasibly genuinely bad webcomic possible. Everything from the sloppy production, obviously re-used assets, shameless copypasting, corny and lazy punchlines, typical insecure gamer humor (Moobs as a character), and dated topical humor (like Jack Thompson in the early strips) was entirely deliberate and VERY well conversed upon.
The fact that this particular panel has basically been immortalized through infinite edits is just poetic and a good end for a very particular, very specific, very small amount of people, something incredibly and patentedly Internet to occur.
its the fate of all gamer comics to go on way too long and start trying to do like self serious dramatic storylines and shit. which i THINK is what powerup comics ended up trying to parody, after it got done parodying "gamer webcomic" and "gamer webcomic that has creator drama and inserts it into the comic." in practice though, i feel like it ended up just genuinely overstaying its welcome? even though that's the bit, it does just stop being funny
