Console Wars: Modern Warfare

[Foxi4]

Console Wars Who won? I think we know.

An infinitely less funny comic strip than my own, but it shows the general idea:

I'm really sorry about the font in this one - due to the used backrounds it's hard to read the text at times. I hope it won't be too much inconvenience. Cheers, and enjoy!

Text Transcript (because it really is barely readable):

Nintendo: Fancy restaurant, secret meeting... this'll be good, right? Is it a new "Mass Effect" game? Guys at the office loved the Wii U one - more of those and the system will sell like...
EA: Yeah, about that... Listen... I'm terrible at "Good Bye"'s so I'm just going to be frank... this isn't working out for me, Nintendo.
EA: Don't get me wrong, this isn't about you... but... that Wii U of yours... I don't think I can handle it. This was going to be your big throw-back to the core gamers... but they don't want the Wii U, can't you see? I can't support your crazy dream anymore, it's over Nintendo... I'm sorry.
Nintendo: Slow down EA, we can still...
EA: Hate to break it to you but... No, we can't. Oh, and can you pay for my meal? I totally forgot to take my wallet with me tonight.
Nintendo: ...sure.
EA: Sweet. Thanks.
*Later that night*
SEGA: Last Call, Mr. Nintendo. You're the last customer here, what'll it be?
Nintendo: Sake. Unless you have games... I don't.
SEGA: ...you know what? I just may have some of those. Y'see, there are these three Sonic games I just wanted to...
Nintendo: Yeah, offer retracted, hit me with the sake, man.

My eyes hurt!!! It looked like it was funny for awhile, but couldn't read the end. I'm now blind. I'll be sending you the medical bill soon. Thanks.

I'll add a text transcript in a spoiler. I blame the .jpeg conversion (but it was actually my lazyness).

Lol. Ok cool. Just giving you a hard time.

I would say that recent events call for another Console Wars, but that would require another console being shown. You know, one that actually plays games.

 

[Maxternal]

Well, we have both an official announcement of one and bigfoot-ish blurry photographic evidence of another.

 

[Foxi4]

The next episode of CW:MW was already announced twice in the shoutbox. The working title is "The Last Nail in the XBox".

The Last Nail to the XBox​

[Veho]

BMP? Are you insane?

 

[Gahars]

Console wars... console wars never change.

 

[Foxi4]

BMP? Are you insane?

Converting to .jpg/uploading to Imgshack removed most of the Anti-Aliasing from fonts. In comics with a large number of panels with photographs this is undesirable - in "BrEAkup" it practically made some parts entirely unreadable. Enough is enough.

Console wars... console wars never change.

5 points for this guy - he got it right off the bat.

 

[Veho]

Here you go. Still huge, but not insanely huge.

And the text is already unreadable in BMP you lazy bum, find better fonts and stop blaming jpg

There, replaced.

Probably the worse place to ask, but what 3 operating systems is the One using?

Probably the worse place to ask, but what 3 operating systems is the One using?

XBox Kernel, Windows Kernel and a Supervisor Kernel. They all work simultaneously - the Snap-on Metro applications and the UI is ran by the Windows Kernel, the games by the XBox Kernel. Switching and management of the two on-screen is done by the Supervisor.

...or so I gathered from the presentation/assumed from what I saw.

First time reading thread. So much "what"

That's pretty much the whole point of this.

So bad that it's good.
