Have you seen those commercials about the Mac using the PC operating systems? I have. I don’t like them. In these commercials we see the Digital Diablo holding hands with an upstanding PC. On top of this blasphemy, the Malicious Mac informs the audience that he is still superior to PC. LIES!!! That has never before been true nor is it true now. I prayed to the comic gods that one of my favorite satirists would draw a comic on this travesty against all righteous and good PC users. The comic gods responded in a way that reminds me, they have a sense of humor.

I know I’ve been pretty negative in the articles I’ve written recently, and I probably hated it more than most of you. Well, rest assured that those days are over with, and they aren’t coming back. Instead, I thought I’d give you guys a bit of a heads up about something I’m doing that I found interesting. Not interesting because I’m doing it, but because it sort of breaks the norm.

Infectious.

That’s the word.

These freaking things are everywhere. The poke their heads into our communities and in most cases rule them. Almost every game comic I run into on the quest for new comics is the same insipid crap with equally insipid titles. It’s always something dumb like “Press Start to Play” or “The Game Corner”.
