@Connor:

YOU WIN THE INTERNET

This site seems to lock up my computer and eat its processor for a few seconds every time it has to load a new comic.

"What!?! Grandpa, you can't be good at video games, you're old!" "Son, have you ever played Ninja Gaiden?" "No..." "Then stfu and come back when you can beat an actual game."

From the pose on the old man in panel 5, he is clearly about to show us all how to catch our first pokemon... with his mug of coffee.

I'm assuming it is ment to be the xbox 360 controller. Maybe you should have had a picture of it next to you as your draw it as you draw it as the colors of the buttons are wrong and your miss the analog sticks. other than than nice comic

The shape of the controller (not buttons) looks more like a wireless white genesis controller than anything else

Joe's story telling is fine. He wouldn't have put the title in the final panel if this wasn't part of an arc. This isn't "Memento (2000)".

I'M GOING TO SHIT ON THE WIZARDS FACE

SHITSPLOSION LEVEL 5

Replace remote with Penis

kids: ogre's a noob for using club

As a short explanation: Gramps sees kids getting PWNED hardcores and picks up a controller to help them.
On the noe of personal inference, this will either result in the Grandpa making it worse (making him the noob) or saving the day (the kids are the noob)

@Annoying Bastard

It's the start of a new arc, and it's an old school gamer picking up a controller so he can show his "noob" kids how to play.

Once again he needs to work on his story telling. Either this is just a bad joke or no one understands what the hell gramps did.

It looks to me to be a strange remake of the first Final Fantasy.. Warrior, Black Mage, and White Mage, taken down by an ogre.. Used to happen to me all the time outside the elf town, except I had a fourth character. Which brings us back to "strange remake". What, are they each controlling one?

@vulpis

He beat them with one hand, while not even facing the TV?

Also what fantasy game (which appears to be an RPG) allows 3v1 battles?

@Sigh.....: Those aren't side burns and their are clips in her hair. Iz a girl.

@1hp: Personally, I was interpreting it as Gramps had the controller all along, and the kids only just realized who 'pwned' them in the last panel.

White mage is androgynous. Enough said.


Funny how everyone seems to judge them on hairstyle alone.

Amazing how a obvious white mage expy gets charged as sexist. Get off of it, red hair is obviously a boy,you can tell by the chin and sideburns.

GRAMPA

@SmallIvoryKnight: Me too, but at least my dad is that cool. XD He's the reason I got into gaming in the first place.

What game BTW? Not much of a console gamer.

@1hp: wow, i didnt see it like that, I thought that it was going to be a new story arc about how grampa tries to help them but always fails, then ends up saving the day.

Your interpretation gets immediate lulz though, so im going to take it yor way until the next panel shows up (if its an arc)

you know, I can't help but think that this comic would have been better if the panel order had been switched around so that the grampa was the ogre that pwned them. It does seem to be how peeps are interpreting it even though the pwnage happened before he even picked up the controller

@StarPilot: BOINK!

you know Jo, you CAN put up just a sketch once in a while, i seen webcomics do far less work then what you're doing and still get publicity.

Use Linux and everything's fine.

when i get old ima be the tech grandpa too
"hey timmy wana play call of duty 23 after i change my dipar?"

Shit's 'bout to get real

Oh the girl can only play healer huh? That's totally sexist. I demand she roll RDM/BLM and tear that place apart.

That ogre's battin' a thousand! Eh, is anybody keepin' track of his heads batted in?

funny thing is when im a grandpa i can jsut imagin all the "old" toys my granchildren will get into.

lol my grandma was like that old dude, she showed me how to win wolfenstein and DOOM on the hardest modes. she made it look all too easy.

I can see gramps sayin, "Back in my day, we had to draw the mini maps!"

It appears that school is now in session.

Plataforms

Oh man I wish my grandfather was that cool.

well here is the exception to the jo's male don't have color irises rule unless that a purple wearing kemo victim.

Is going on in this
I don't get it

totally role red mage

I don't know how good the tablet support is, but as far as online drawing tools go, the best I've seen so far is aviary.com

I hope I'm still kicking ass at games when I'm his age.

I have an idea Jo.

Linux!!

Move over, punks. I was gaming before you were a smile on your daddy's face.

Sixth, epic pic except for the fact that I own my dad at every type of game except timesinks. (he has a lot more time than I do)

I hope they're looking to the controller ._.'

Grandpa: "Back in' my day...we had 'real' controllers. We only need two buttons to play...TWO! Today's youngsters...don't realize...how lucky... they...arrrrrrrrrrrr..." *Snores to sleep*

And Mungo, you're a bastard. At least say "First" and add something about the comic. Damn.

Inb4 first 'mine':

"Why don't you have a seat over there?"

Old School Gaming = the Best Gaming
