Tempy bro keep your cool

Actually this could be also said about Tempers: "keep your cool"

Great job @WhiteMaze as usual!

Sorry to everyone about the delay for this issue but we aim to have the next issues back on regular schedule. (Every weekend)

The delay was actually my fault. My apologies everyone! Please enjoy the new strip!

So even the strips themselves are lagging.

There was a time I played starbound with some friends of mine.

My internet setup was terrible, the lag was.... bad.

When I COULD connect, they just saw my character warping and clipping everywhere. And freezing. Then the connection dies.

Other times it just wouldn't connect.


...those were actually fun days. whenit worked, that is.

So even the strips themselves are lagging.

Here is an accurate transcript of what transpired in the making of this strip:

@Costello : Maze when can we get that new temper Tantrums issue?

@shaunj66 : Maze is the comic ready yet?

@WhiteMaze : "NETWORK LAG DETECTED"



Seriously though sorry for the massive delay everyone..

 

[CeeDee]

How could you keep us waiting like that!?

Jokes aside, nice work!

 

[VitaType]

By now table flipping on the internet dosn't feels like a powerful statement anymore. It's just too overused for all kind of small things.

 

[SirNapkin1334]

So true...

Also, new Review-like format system for news?

 

[Taffy]

Anybody else notice his reward fpr placing 80th?

More like gets head shot 500m+ away with a pistol by a Chinese hacker.

 

[WhiteMaze]

Anybody else notice his reward fpr placing 80th?

lmfao

I was waiting for someone to notice that

 

[DeslotlCL]

It's pretty fun because it's fucking true

btw

>pubg

fucking triggered

 

[Zumoly]

I was waiting for someone to notice that

Funny the one kill he was so desperate to make is ruined by "network lag"

 

[gameboy]

is is why nobody should play crossplay on a nintendo switch

 

[thekarter104]

Great job @WhiteMaze as usual!

Sorry to everyone about the delay for this issue.

It's ok. It's because of the lag

 

[Subtle Demise]

This is the funniest one, because I can relate. Not necessarily lag or PUBG, but games in general. Fucking NPC grenade spam on The Division. Ok just about everything about the combat in that game pisses me off, but I still love it for some reason.

 

[Fusion]

Here is the shortened up and fixed version to some peoples liking, nothing special just different flavors for all to enjoy

 

[Deleted member 420418]

Very true.

 

[Deleted User]

Great job as always. This comic touched my heart because of how relatable it is... *sniff*

 

[brickmii82]

I have never felt this understood.

I had a similar experience yesterday. I was playing Bed Wars with my friend on Hypixel, it was just us and one other guy. Our bed got destroyed pretty early in the game, we survived by basically hiding on our island and occasionally making trips to the diamond island Neil we could upgrade our forge enough to get emeralds. It was just past Bed Destruction, and we were about to ambush the guy. When suddenly...I timed out and disconnected. I rejoined, but...I WAS A SPECTATOR. I COULDNT PLAY. I got so angry, i slammed my hands onto my keyboard and spammed the guild chat. Surprisingly, I’m better than my friends at containing my rage, if that had happened to my friend he would have ended up with a broken mouse, monitor, and keyboard (probably).
