    Timed Missions:(when I was still employed) Finishing rounds before the morning shift shows up and starts bitching about just about everything. Or now that I'm unemployed, waking up while businesses are still open in order to job hunt.

    Obligatory Sewer lever:Any good saturday night after a few drinks (open drain pipes are awesome)

    Glitches: 'What do you mean I can't go back to a save point ? '

    Actually, I don't see what's so weird about rebooting Nana. We have to do it all the time.

    I'm glad we don't have those puzzle levels where you go on a slippery surface (most likely ice) and if you movie in one direction, you keep moving in that direction until you hit something that stops you, and you need to use the correct obstacles in the correct order to get across. I always hated those.

    Excellent comic, as always.

    If life were like a video game, every time you solved a problem, you'd be faced with an even more difficult one. The higher you advanced, the tougher the challenges facing you would be.

    Wait a minute …

      I agree! I want the Mario Death sound to play ominously when I die. 🙂

    Sometimes in real life we have cheats though. And those are always good.

    What are you talking about? Life is full of timed missions (just most don't lead to death) and glitches (don't tell me people are that stupid by design?). Sewer levels, maybe not, but you might compare them to work…

    I just wish life had more fun physics and better sound effects. It's kinda boring.

      I got tired of waiting for the music to start. So, now I make my own "Goooobachuba chucka chucka chubba, wah wah boom chucka chucka goooobachuba”. Try it; it makes things not so mundane. 🙂

    It would be fun to claim your homework was late because of lag.

        Funny you should mention that. The first joke I wrote for this strip was about escort missions. I was going to have the bug getting shot while escorting the girl bug. The girl bug was going to say: "Good luck. I tend to wander." As you can see, it wasn't that funny so I dropped it.

          You could have the escorted person run into traffic with reckless abandon. Escort missions are like that a lot of the time…

    What, no Goldeneye physics glitch? Honestly that would be… well, different at the very least.

    I think most assignments in work or academia are timed missions.

    Instead of video games I get rather annoyed that you can’t use control F (command F on Macs), in real life to find things like you can on the Internet and other computer programs.
