Bill Murphy's comments under the comic were intresting to read, but even after reading them I feel I don't understand what was the point of the comic.

There's usually some joke, or some story that the comics tell, but this one seems to have nothing. And it doesn't look like an introduction about characters and topics that will be covered in future comics either.

I think they should not add follow command. Because AFK, botting and multiboxing aren't really desirable playing styles.

I have never been fine with taking away things from players because a small % use them for bad things. My wife often goes AFK to pee while she /follows me to where ever we are going. I think ESO staff can come up with better ways to stop botting, as I have seen games without follow still have bots following. 

/signed, I want /follow command!

I'm ready to change my opinion a bit: Maybe they should add a follow command that would work max. 5 minutes and have 30 minute cooldown.

But aside from allowing people to take short breaks, I think follow command is bad for the game. People should not be given tools to be less attentive while playing.

The bandwidth is good enough if you've got a good connection and really get that bandwidth with good latencies, even during peak hours.

However if your net operator has sold more bandwidth than they actually have, and during peak hours your network performance jumps up and down because the operator's network is busy, then the bandwidth wouldn't be good enough. Good and stable connection is more important than bandwidth while playing online games.

EDIT: You can check how much bandwidth you use while playing by using a program like NetLimiter: http://www.netlimiter.com

I think ArcheAge's graphic engine looks better.

It's a bit early to start talking about most solid graphic engine of 2013 since the year is only beginning.

 It's not a purchase because it's not a payment for an item of like value.

Good lord, you're trying to argue what kickstarter is or isn't and I let is slide because you had a different opinion, but you don't even know what kickstarter is.

The biggest project actually are a purchase, Pebble sold over 100,000 pebble watches through kickstarter, OUYA over 60,000 consoles, etc

The pledge is the purchase of the item in many cases, in fact in almost all of the major kickstarter projects, the pledge is the purchase for the item. You are buying the item.

 You need to reread the kickstarter rules. They don't actually have to deliver those things although most companies will. You would have a hell of a time making a fraud case if they didn't because, just like Kickstarter says, it's a donation.  Unforseen circumstances do arise. That's not an opinion. It's a fact. Kickstarter can be a wonderful thing but go in with your eyes open.

Zymurgeist you need to reread the Kickstarter rules, like the part where it says:

   "Project Creators are required to fulfill all rewards of their successful fundraising campaigns or refund any Backer whose reward they do not or cannot fulfill".

Or where it says:

   "By creating a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter, you as the Project Creator are offering the public the opportunity to enter into a contract with you. By backing a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter, you as the Backer accept that offer and the contract between Backer and Project Creator is formed"

Kickstarter Terms of Use are clear that it's not a donation, it's a contract between project creator and the backer. And the project creators are obliged to either fullfill their promises or refund the backers.

Kickstarter would only be charity is backers were not promised anything valuable in return. So many Kickstarter projects promise finished (and valuable) products to the backers that it's a purchase, not a charity.

 It's not a charity because the recipient isn't a nonprofit entity. It's not a purchase because it's not a payment for an item of like value. If I gave you $5,000 and you gave me a token of appreciation worth $5.00  that's not a purchase. It's a gift. Easter Seals gives Easter Seals to donors. They are a charity.

I disagree with the part in red. Kickstarter projects go to great lengths trying to promise backers the finished game, artbooks, miniature figures, and other goodies. As a result the promised value of what a backer gets if the game is released is usually significant compared to the money backer spends. That makes it a purchase.

If kickstarter projects really promised you something like 5$ worth for donating them 5 000$ dollars, then it would be a donation made to them and not a purchase. But most of the backers are promised so valuable rewards that it does not qualify as a donation.

I'm starting to wish they'd just let people install Windows to PS4. Then use mouse, keyboard, monitor, and completely replace their desktop computer.

Find out how copyright laws in your contry work, then publish everything in internet and try to get some game devs to look at it. You won't need to worry about anyone copying your idea, copyright will give you enough protection.

I'd suggest going to some large electronic store that has keyboards on display and lets you test a bit how the keys feel, then choose the one that feels best. It's about personal preference and there's no choise that would be good or bad for everyone.

Personally I love Logitech K800, it feels good when writing. But it's just me, and other people have different tastes.

There is gonna be the group of people going around the review sites that automatically post about how they always need an internet connection. Which isn't a problem at all for me, since I always have internet. And even tribal people in middle of jungles are connected with the internet through phones now. So its probably only pirates that actually care about that.

I take it you haven't experienced it when single-player game is unplayable because of some f***** server somewhere is down and thus copy protection prevents you from playing your legally bought game. I actually once pirate copied a game I had earlier bought legally because the copy protection made me so mad.

I think it's unnecessary to complain about SimCity's reviews when the same problem is with every new game. So many of the reviewers are either trolls or blind fanboys that it's hard to find a legit review no matter what game.

I haven't heard of that issue before. But if you want you can also validate your e-mail by going to account management on SWTOR website, and clicking the "subcriptions" -option. You'll be redirected to e-mail address validation page that should work if you haven't validated your e-mail address already.

I was trying to innocently quest in Stonetalon Mountains in WoW and got a quest to rescue frightened peons from a mine. I went to a peon, clicked him, and he said "Oof! You touch naughty spot!", but I god credit towards the quest so I went to next peon. Again same reaction when I clicked him "Oof! You touch naughty spot!".

I wasn't really doing anything creepy (at least intentionally), but I was honestly creeped out. Why did Blizzard write that answer to the peons when they are rescued? What exactly was my character doing to rescue those peons?

Quest was "And That's Why They Call Them Peons", http://www.wowhead.com/quest=26047/and-thats-why-they-call-them-peons

I think they should keep either Camelot or Unchained so that the new name would be easy to remember for those who remember the old name and the hype would better carry over to new name.

My suggestion: Players Unchained

English is not my native tongue so I'm not quite sure how native speakers would interpret that name.

omg ezmode hand holding in my day we opened our bags one at a time, uphill both ways through the grey items, and we were grateful to have them

You forgot to mention we had to drag our items to equip them. Today's younger generations just right-click their items and except them to magically be equpped, while we had to drag them out from huge piles of grey items just to be able to equip them. Then we had to place them under all the grey items again if we ever wanted to unequip.
