Ctrl+Alt+Del Mesocron of Knowledge - CYoA Arc

[ShunNakamura]

Linkage (http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php?d=20081126)

Once again Ctrl+Alt+Del starts a story arc in which its readers get to decide the 'horrible' way in which Ethan will die(or not, but it is quite likely considering what happens when you let a group of people on the internet make your decisions for you)!

Basically this is to discuss the arc itself, discuss the various choices as they arise, and to promote voting.


It is a tad alarming that on the first page Ethan has already caused his first casualty. Add this to Ethan trying to 'sex' a robot out of a charge... and well trouble has already fallen into our midst.




My choice this round must definitely fall with the majestic bird known as the Turkey! That and Ethan trying to talk his way out of something is almost always good entertainment(and I would rather not kill him...... yet). Not that the first choice is likely to kill him anyways.

Hurry and get your votes in!

[Aerith's Knight]

Turkey all the way. :)

Ethan is not good with words, should be fun. xD

[scrumpleberry]

I'd say turkey, but I'm too lazy x) It wasn't so fun the last time around.

Which word is it to make Tim Buckley stab himself in the eye with a rusty fork?

[Psychotic]

Which word is it to make Tim Buckley stab himself in the eye with a rusty fork?"Miscarriage".

We have a winner!

My personal favorite, the Ultimate CAD Rule:

[ShunNakamura]

Turkey won!

Wow... it usually seems like what I pick doesn't win(no don't use the ai duct!).

"I mean, Heh, what do you do if someone can't pay their bill? Kill, em?"
"Yes."

Wow... harsh. Anyways so far so good. Though it looks like trying to skip out would have been the more entertaining option :/.

Zalgo.

[Shoeberto]

There should be a site dedicated to CAD parody comics because they're really the only thing that justify the comic's existence.

Your hotlinking has failed us all. ~Shlup

[scrumpleberry]

I find these funny, but I'm still a fan of the comic. I think it's good light entertainment, I'm rather fond of it. The abortion storyline wasn't that bad, but the internet just completely leapt on it and mob mentality turned into THA WARST SRS BIZNAZ EVER WRITTEN EVARRRRRRRRRRR

So it goes.

[Madame Adequate]

The miscarriage stuff in itself was merely a cackhanded example of Cerebus Syndrome. What was worse was B^U's patronizing, insulting, and entirely insensitive 'justification' of the whole thing:

[Shlup]

I think the CYOA idea is cool, but these particular ones are dull.

Of course I'm one of those people who thinks the best part of CAD is the parody comics so whatever. POST MOAR!

[ShunNakamura]

Now we have a choice (http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php?d=20081212).

So what do you all think. Do we trust the employer Dr. Slaag's information(particularly considering the "last three guys" comment) and go visit the colleague or do we go and visit Ethan's contact?

A bit of a toss up here. If we assume the other guys went to Slaag's contact it doesn't exactly paint a reliable picture of the information to be had. Meanwhile we have Ethan's contact who is likely no more reliable and is highly an unknown factor.

I think the coathanger one was probably the best.

[Psychotic]

Haha, I was looking for that binder one but couldn't find it.

YouTube - CAD Tribute 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaLMLPUFFwg&eurl=http://encyclopediadramatica.com/CAD)

The animation when he dives and rolls on the ground slays me. Oh and 1:17-1:20.

I got these from Something Awful. Hurray.

Which is better?
Comic A (http://www.cad-comic.com/comic.php?d=20081121)
Comic B (http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e373/photobucketamazingness/buckleycrayon1.jpg)

Finally, an actually decent gaming webcomic. I think Dan and Hsu of the people who have posted in this thread will get the biggest kick out of this: F@NB0Y$ - Better Than [insert name of game] updates M and F (http://fanboys-online.com/index.php?comic=280)

[Madame Adequate]

Fanboys is love.

CAD parodies too.

That's some of the funniest stuff I've read in a while. Gonna bookmark it for sure.

[scrumpleberry]

Fanboys is pretty good & funny, but his style kind of annoys me sometimes. He is working really hard to make his comics look better though, which is nice. I dunno. I wouldn't count it as any better or worse than CtrlAltDel. I'm quite fond of both of them, but neither is really ROFLMAO HIRAAAAARIOUS

I found the art style for the backlogs I read to be really fresh compared to other webcomics I've encountered, though admittedly I've never seriously read more than maybe five or six so I'm a little limited. But what really took the cake was this one. (http://fanboys-online.com/index.php?comic=274) It slayed me.

I've only read back about a year or so but it's such well done random humor.

[Madame Adequate]

Yeah man 404 errors are a laugh riot! :D

[ShunNakamura]

Well we are onto the next choice now. (http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php?d=20081219)

Do we purchase the information with the reserve funds? Do we try and Cheat Lukah? or Do we pass on obtaining the information?



Currently it seems to be progressing decently. This sort of thing is funner though in single reader form where you can explore all the options :D.

[Peegee]

I voted to spend the money on the information. I want this to progress with as few enemies as possible.

[ShunNakamura]

Yeah, that and Lucas has put up with Ethan for all these years in the main story, so should we really screw him over? It just wouldn't feel right :D.

[ShunNakamura]

Trying to cheat Lukah.... won...

This is not exactly looking good. Well we know we at least lasted as long as last time.

[ShunNakamura]

NOOOO!

They killed Lukah! Is this what he gets for putting up with Ethan all these years?!

[Psychotic]

You'll be next in line after Lukah for your triple posting antics!

[Peegee]

We're off to a bad start -- if Ethan is just going to murder everybody to get what they need, they will have a lot of enemies following them.

[Baloki]

You guys post all those links and miss this one?:

[Peegee]

The second panel is cad. The third?

I don't know if the choices made thusfar were good. Ethan's all by himself and could end up anywhere. If he survives Saturday's comic who knows what will end up happening. He has no gun as well.

I don't give him much time left to live.

[Sephex]

I'm not a real big fan of CAD, but I really enjoy the "choose your own adventure" strips simply because you can tell half the voters are trying to kill him, while the other half want him to get a happy ending. He keeps on getting slowly screwed over, and I am loving it a lot. He is going to have such a glorious death.
