Ctrl+Alt+Del - Hard times.

No not even close. Ctrl Alt Del had a storyline dealing with the loss of a child through a miscarrage. That comic was talks about getting a wire hanger to preform an abortion just for the sake of making a jab at another online comic. Worlds apart.

I honestly don't care. The ctrl alt del comic is just as stupid. If that guy thinks this is something you discuss in a web comic, he deserves all the **** and stuff he is getting. I say good job No Punctuation. Yahtzee nailed that right on the head.
 
Exactly.

Did any of you even bother to read what Tim posted after the miscarriage comic?

He had a girlfriend who was pregnant, and they as a couple suffered a miscarriage. And you write about what you know...what you've experienced in life. Ethan and Lila are 'real' people with 'real' problems. People just don't sit around and game 24/7.

Ah well. There are going to be people who hate CAD from now on, and there are going to be people like Faiz and I, who stick with it.

That's not the point. He talks about wanting to talk about what happens when they're not gaming, to build character or whatever, but that's not what it should be. People who read CAD do so for some comic relief, whether they find the webcomic itself entertaining or they find taking the piss out of it entertaining. If he really wants to do a character based webcomic with humor and drama, he should do it seperately.

Indeed.

at least someone knows what everyone besides the trolls have been jabbing at. self-insertion is definitely not the way go in a web comic, especially if you're going through ****. there's gotta be a a time to draw the line between your personal life and what you put in a webcomic (showing your penis to underage kids aside.).

if he wants to make his comic serious and dramatic, he should've made another one, not put it into something that's supposed to slapstick funny and lighthearted. that's bad all around.

and regardless of what's happening with him and his girl, which is a sad thing for anyone, i've met tim buckley before. met him at otakon a couple years back when he was sharing a booth with brian clevinger (8-bit theatre) and scott ramsoomair (vg cats).

no offense, but the man's an arrogant narcissistic prick who swears his comics are fueled by insomnia and alchohol in the first place. he even had the nerve to get mad when i said i had never heard of his comic. take what you want from what i say, but this is only my account of how i see the man. those of you who are his fans, stick by him in his time of need. if you really support him, nothing i say should have any effect on how you feel.

I don't want to go off on a tangent, but I'm curious; what were Clevinger and Ramsoomair like at the booth?

they were actually quite nice believe it or not; a bit nerdy, but aren't we all? brian autographed an 8-bit theatre poster done by scott, and all they did was answer fan questions and sign autographs and pimp their books. i remember it vividly because that was the year i bumped into my ex-girlfriend in the dealer's room, but that's another story.

I totally forgot about this, but from what I've read, Tim and his girlfriend at the time didn't even want the baby and didn't give a **** about it.

Yeah, hes a douchebag in real life, theirs e-mails about him doing that. Sadly I don't have any links to them.
 
I prefer reading F@NBOY$ than any of the others.

Anyway, I don't really know how I feel about the comic. I know he wrote it out of personal experience, but it borders on bad taste to me.

Plus Yahtzee makes some good points but he's been known to jump to conclusions and, let's be honest, is notorious for being a troll.

I've never suffered a personal tragedy like this so I don't believe that I should make a decision just yet on something this big. I'll leave it to people who've actually experienced something even close to this to be the judges.

How can you be so cold? Tim did NOT say that he and his gf didn't give a ****. He said that he and his gf had an unplanned pregnancy, and that they did not welcome the idea of a child.

ALOT Of people have unplanned pregnancies and don't relish the thought of their lives suddenly changing in the biggest way possible.

That doesn't mean 'you don't give a ****' about the baby.

Jesus, all of you are talking about how Tim is in the wrong here.....well you aren't showing me how any of you are any better by putting him down and ragging on him.

You support him, some of us don't. You are not wrong, and we are not wrong. This is all a matter of opinion. That you try and bring in the "who is better" argument just makes me think your belief in him isn't as strong as you claim. That kind of argument is a last ditch thing IMO.

A troll... Yeah he gives reviews of games, and that makes him a troll. Damn man I better get over to ign, 1up, and other places and start labeling all the reviewers trolls... Oh wow even that dude on Gametrailers is a troll :P

Yahtzee is a guy who rubs people the wrong way ON PURPOSE. He is paid not so much to review a game as to rag on it and bury the game in **** before pissing on it's grave. Even in his review of Bioshock and COD4, both games he admits he liked, the majority of his reviews consist of him talking **** about the game. No one would watch him if he was like any other reviewer and wrote simple summaries of the game. People, even me, watch him to tear a game a new one.
