Justice: Yes, but my issue is I would earnestly be trying to do good art, failing and my perfectionism would make me want to quit. However if I just drew shit like this:
I could stomach it, but the game would not be very serious :P

^^ Even art that's not good can be tolerable if you work out a decent style. And I think decent writing can make up for art that's "still a work in progress".
Preston's problem is he's somehow stumbled on a style that's grating and he lacks the skills to attach anything interesting to it.
I mean, going back to old Penny Arcade, I'd say Preston's current level is well above Gabe's when Gabe started drawing PA, however Gabe's style, while not showing an abundance of skill at the time, didn't make my skin crawl.
Tycho could usually be counted to have add some entertainment value to the comic.
With Preston, he's somehow committed to this horrible style and he lacks any wit or cleverness to save himself in the word balloons.
I kinda wonder what drove him to this madness. I mean, it's been shown he can draw. Honestly, if he just made tons of stuff like that Metroid picture, he'd probably even be reasonably well liked. I wonder if he desperately wants to be liked for his personality as well, hence the attempts to make a web-comic.
Unfortunately, this is the web-comic equivalent to nature throwing a bunch of neon colored shit on something.

Old as balls K.C. Green work.
I think this is proof that a good sense of humor can save not so great artwork. Green uses the same EXACT expression on his author avatar here and makes it work.
Preston has like...six expressions he cycles through, but couldn't write himself out of a wet paper bag if he had scissors.
JZ: Yahoo News has been doofy every since it started in the mid-1990s. It's all unedited AP rip-and-read reports, so it's only as good as what comes down the wire.
Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
Actually it is
Right now at full-time enrollment (12 hours) I don't have much free time anymore because I'm always studying. I can't imagine what that would be like with part or full-time employment figured into that
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
I still have some interest in philosophy, but I no longer kid myself into thinking that I have GREAT ORIGINAL THOUGHTS which deserve to be plastered all over the interwebs.

So i managed to get a little bit of sleep. It's something.
^^^ Right now I have Yahoo, GMail, and Hotmail. Oh, and an AOL address that I stopped using years ago because my mother had parental controls on it.
And my student email, which is technically a Hotmail account, but with the CentiesSchool.edu domain name.

Well, yeah, I meant "try" as in "go through with doing so only to realize almost immediately that it was a bad move."
Aol: the company I can't ever peel myself away from despite hating its guts with a passion.
For one, they still own CompuServe and I've got at least one other account on Aol. proper (read: probably two). That, and as much as I dislike HuffPo for making Engadget its bitch (and being essentially a tabloid that tries to snatch its claws into ALL the news) I blindly click on their news reports rather often when I'm searching about news.
If I could, I'd have hauled all my Aol. accounts to Google by now but unfortunately I can't do that because lole-mailaddresses.

My mother worked for CompuServe up until the merger. She said at work they used to make fun of AOL for treating "online" as two words.
Not CompuServe (I love my cs.com email, I use it proudly even after 10 years) but AOL and HuffPo and whatnot. I'm surprised Time Warner waited till 2008 to get that fester removed.
Philosophy (and a degree in) leads us directly back to what we were talking about: cooking fries at McDonalds
It kind of irritates me when McDonald's is held up as a standard "bad job", tbh.
Though I guess my mother (who works there) would probably agree with you.
I think that post is as much a reflection of the usefulness of a philosophy degree as it is the status of a McDonalds job.
While, not HORRIBLE, per se, working at McDonalds will almost always be the sort of thing you can do with no degree, but the pay is low no matter how you sell it.
You know, unless you're working a corporate job for McD's, or some such.

Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
Just another step on the path towards being an adult.

There is an adorable level of stupid earnesty here.

For some reason, the guy who owns the McDonald's my mom works at also owns a construction company.
Also can't you use a philosophy degree for like, writing books and shit?
