Topic: Does anyone here still read Kurtz's PVP?

Anyone know enough about this recurrent little storyline that's been running through the last year, I've assumed from going through the archives the last few days.

The jist: The character Jade being heavily into games like EQ and DAoC, while her boyfriend Brent isn't. They broke up over the issue, and never fully resolved things. Hence which brings us to today. She's been having an online relationship with someguy in game, and flies to meet him in Vegas on New Year's eve. The guy is in full plate armor including helm with visor. Comments on her beauty..blah blah blah. She states she can't do this yadda yadda yadda. Dramatic pause..continued until tomorrow.

OK..now for my point. Is Scott Kurtz really such a hack? I mean good god, he will be if what seems so apparent is actually going to happen. 1.) Of course she can't do it, because she will still be in love with Brent. (Apparent enough.) 2.) That the mysterious guy from the game, and on the roof wearing the plate armor, I'm willing to wager will turn out to be Brent himself in some convoluted attempt to win back his woman.

I read it like once a week, whenever I remember the URL.

And the dude is, uh, what'shisname.. That rival magazine guy.

Max Powers. Possibly, but I think that was a weak attempt to distract from the obvious lame story.

I don't read PvP. Too annoying. I read Angst Technologies. Less soap operatic, and the jokes are better.

Agrees fully with Deth. I used to read PVP back in 1999- early 2000, then just forgot about it. Some of the posts here brought my attention back to it, and went to see what all the controversy was about.

Exactly...originally it was about the funny stuff, but it became increasingly about essentially unfunny characters.

I don't like angsty humor comics. Sluggy Freelance started to get angsty after Torg lost that anime robot chick, and I stopped reading (despite the fact I'm told it got better again after that).

Therefore it's ironic that I keep coming back to a comic called "Angst Technologies" that manages to tell sweet stories (Dante's wife having the baby, for instance) without turning stupid.

That's Max Power. No "s" S isn't good enough to be a part of Max Power.

I think it's liek, either the brother of the rival guy (I mean hey, he's got a sister, right) or it's actually the long haired MAC guy trying to win her heart by playing what she enjoys! OHO

No, he just wouldn't listen to her apology! He's playing the callous male who does a surprise turn-around! The best way to complete a surprise is to act unknowledgable!

Thanks for reminding me

I've forgotten to read that for a bit.

And I read both. Angst and PvP, among others.

Maybe if PvP were funny I'd read it.
You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

I still read PvP, but it's just out of habit.
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

PvP?

Shit dude, I could get a better plot reading tea leaves.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

PvP would be a good newspaper comic. Bland, inoffensive and he can crank them out on a daily basis.

If Kurtz hadn't have been such an offensive sell-out prick, I would read it.

He is an assmunch.
