[VartioArtel]

You all can keep arguing over who gets Ban Hammer.

...I'll be over here with my Ban Cannon.

 

[Noctosphere]

In other words, Smash Bros is not fun anymore? Tired of Remakes?

Games are not as fun as when you were a kid?

Time to take a vacation... from videogames.

Take vacation from video games?
Are you crazy?
Hell no fucking way...

 

[CeeDee]

I find it insulting that I haven't had an Easter egg or made a cameo in any of these yet

Well, I've cameoed. So I can't tell if I'm that good of a user, or if you're just that bad of one.

Maybe it's the convenient shill banner.

 

[Quantumcat]

@shaunj66 you are a truly amazing artist

 

[jt_1258]

But why does he have 2 ds's....

 

[Noctosphere]

Well, I've cameoed. So I can't tell if I'm that good of a user, or if you're just that bad of one.

Maybe it's the convenient shill banner.

But... but... where is Zelda kitty?
I dont see her...

 

[MagnesG]

No switch...

 

[MaxiBash]

Me everytime.
Also, HE HAS A BAN HAMMER.

 

[lordelan]

That first picture is amazing. Spent some time lookin' at it. Feels so familiar having my Wii, Wii U, 3DS and Switch full of games here and my PC with a Steam Account which holds far more than thousand games from which I didn't touch any for years, asking me the same question everyday:

"I've been at work, I ate dinner, I have two hours until I would have to sleep. Now ... what should I play?"

Until I made my decision, another few moments have past. It's pretty hard living in the first world you know?

 

[Bullseye]

What is the thing on the top shelf?

 

[PrincessLillie]

Well, I've cameoed. So I can't tell if I'm that good of a user, or if you're just that bad of one.

Maybe it's the convenient shill banner.

Or... Maybe you bribed the artist to give you a cameo. /s

 

[hamohamo]

why does he need a seat if hes only a floating head with hands?

so he can put his hands on it.

 

[linuxares]

So relatable ... but mostly it's just my mood that I don't feel like playing a game.

 

[Taleweaver]

Yup...this is more relatable than it should be for me. While I don't have such a man cave yet (heh...I might steal some ideas from here ), I get the same feeling when browsing my 1000+ game steam library.

Only problem I can see is that he has a VR headset but almost zero space to use it.

I don't have a VR headset, but something tells me this just adds to the surrealistic realism that makes this sort of comic hilarious.

In fact: I'm fairly sure that somewhere somehow, the following sort of conversation has taken place:

Him: oooh...the upgraded vive! At a 1% discount, no less!
Her: is that really needed? You barely use the sony headset we have at home.
Him: yes, but this is much higher definition! This is next generation stuff. That's no comparison. You don't hear me saying "do we really need a car? We have bikes!", right?
Her: it IS more expensive.
Him: yes. Again...a car is more...
Her: <*death glare*>
Him: <*voice trails off*>
Him: still...this comes with motion controls so you can INTERACT with the world like never before.
Her: yyyyeeaaahhh....<*is visibly thinking of the wii*>
Her: look: even if it delivers all that: we don't have the room to properly inter...sorry: INTERACT with the virtual world without accidentally breaking things in the real one.
Him: <*sad*> I...guess you're right.
Her: you know I am. I love you.
Him: <*still glancing the VR device*> I love you too.

<*two days later*>

Him: oh, honey! I got a larger tax break than expected. Look what I bought with it!


...and this is why gamers are often single: women mistake our dedication to technology for unwillingness to listen.

But why does he have 2 ds's....

A normal one and a 3DS one, I assume.

 

[Enkuler]

A normal one and a 3DS one, I assume.

Nope, you can make the difference between a 3DS and a DS by checking if it has a stick above the dpad.
Now there is a red 3DS on the shelve on the right side, and a blue DS under it.
And there is also a blue DS on the bed on the left side? Or one of these things is not a DS?

 

[Taffy]

I need to look into seeing if I could do one of these sometime... in crayon.

 

[eriol33]

sometimes I call my friends to hang out whenever I am bored.

 

[Subtle Demise]

Pirate syndrome made flesh?

I was going to say that this is totally me. I have so many game systems, games, emulators, etc, and when I come home from work what do I do? Watch youtube until I fall asleep on the couch, and then go to bed.

this comic relates to me

 

[Reecey]

what if the chair is his body

its under the dreamcast on the shelf wonky

Yes your right I can just about make it out on the shelf. I was looking for something much bigger I kept looking at the book shelf they look more like 360’s than books they even have the same round power button that the 360’s have.
