BrickGamers 41 - Are Gamers Cool?

Are gamers cool? Are you a gamer? Do you think you're cool? Do others think you're cool? Gamers (non-sports kind that is) have usually been seen as geeky or even nerdy, but of late, with the dawn of the information age and gadgets, technology is seen as a cool thing as people need geeks to teach them about the modern world. With that, gamers are being seen as cool with electronic sports... (click the comic below to see the larger SVGA @ 800x600 in a new tab)

So perhaps one day being a gamer is just as cool as sports people today and just may be the killer talk which wows people that you're not just another nerd who stays at home with their computer.

Ironic Circumstances

Life imitates game, and comic imitates life.

No More Kidding around

Brick Gamers 40 - Futile Protests

Our bad. The Christmas and 2010 New Year gaming delayed us for BrickGamers 40. That's 40 comics that's appeared in GameAxis (a South-East Asia regional monthly print game mag) since we started 4 years ago. This doesn't include the 70-over Web-only BrickGamers comics which appears on this site 3 years ago! Now due to requests, our GameAxis converted comics for the Web have been enlarged to 800pixels (SVGA) to cater to bigger LCD monitors, so when you click on the 400pixels (width) thumbnail below, it will open a new tab/window with the 800 one.

Oh yes, we decided to tackle the Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 2 private server gamers protest issue for this 40th GameAxis BrickGamers LEGO comic! For Malaysian gamers with lag problems, it's something that's very close to the heart that's worth protesting about! However, as Jack has mentioned, it's the Console gamers that will doom PC gamers and their protests!

Top PC Game of 2009

You can read more about this in the report of the Most Pirated Games Of 2009.

Some say it's because its a good - if not great - game, while others insist it's a backlash from the issue of Modern Warfare 2 PC won't support dedicated servers.

Either way, the bottomline of the massive sales should please the developers from taking this path, a decision which can leave a lot of players with not-so-fast Internet connection, feeling left behind.
