I never thought Eric's comic could get any worse. This radio play actually made logging onto the Internet seem even more boring than it actually is. A bland mish-mash of terrible dialogue and a yawn-inspiring plot based on one of the worst comics ever.
It's one of the worst-performed radio plays I've ever heard. Most of the actors sound so monotone that they'd only give a barely-decent performance as b-grade zombies. Sabrina sounds like a cross between a valley girl and my creepy next-door neighbour who is fond of her 13 pet cats.
The choice of music makes me want to shoot myself with a canonball.
All in all, I rate this radio play a "dire" out of 10. |

A big problem here is that these radio scripts are taken verbatim from the comic. There's no attempt to adapt them for the new medium, so jokes that might work in a visual medium (for example, Sabrina's reaction to that computer con thing she goes to) like a comic totally fall flat when you only hear voices. Also, it doesn't help that the acting sucks. Please stop sucking on helium before recording radio plays. |

This is worse than the voice acting in MakenX. I noticed there is an audition button on the website, these were the best that auditioned? Or maybe they're trying to replace everyone :lol: |

Hey, guys, let's put on a show
Goman, you can play washtub base.
Cowgirl, you can play the comb with the paper on it
Weird Guy, you can play the metal thing you beat laundry against.
I'll play kazoo.
And we'll still be more professional than these guys.
We'll be Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas. |

Offtopic, but still:

The wife has a copy of that on VHS. Creeps me out. I mean serious heebie jeebies. How can they live with no internet connection?! Not even a ready phone jack or easy access to electricity.
Of course, that was made in '77, so it would have to be with a brand new Apple II (Only $1295! Cheap!)... But still, I could not survive in the country. |

I think they used a camcorder mic in a bathroom with shitty acoustics to record this onto a 4 track. Terrible voiceacting combined with muddy recording=bleeding eardrums |

Oh man, I would love to see a South Park ep about furries. Especially since so many of them resemble Cartman in build. |

It felt really good to see them all die at the end... the animals didn't give a damn about the PETA people nearly as much as the PETA people did about them. |

Pretty brain-dead... Kinda puts the comic into perspective.
I used to enjoy this strip a lot until I lost interest just over a year ago. |

The artwork alone (which is admittedly cute) was no longer enough to keep me interested in reading the strip. The plot was always thin, but has now almost completely turned to dust.
Um... Sabrina's probably going to get preggers next... But I haven't read the strip in so long, perhaps she already is. |

I have admittedly read all of the Sabrina Online strips. A friend told me they were "really good", so I read all of them chronologially, waiting for the "really good" part...which never came to be.
The drawings are nice, I admit. Eric has talent. But Sabrina Online jumped the shark so quickly...
It was good until we started finding out about Amy and that Wolf guy's sex life. It was then that I realized this was nothing but furry wank material...and when ZigZag appeared, I was SURE. The rest of the comic is like a trainwreck. |

Yes, I prefered it when it was a comic on the joys of Amiga computing. But even then it was pretty lame. |

My point exactly. :cry:
And by good, I don't really mean good.
I mean more like good to make fun of.
I hate amigas. |

You know I think the blinding pace of progress in the field of computer technology is what I'll remember the most when I'm old.
I mean how can you cling to the past when it comes to computers?
A computer is practically obsolete by the time you get it out of the box. |

I grew up with them too. Which is probably why I'm bitter. They always crashed on me or something. |

Take it from me: they are a LIVING HELL to fix. When they die, it's always the motherboard. Meanwhile, Atari STs mostly suffer floppy drive problems and busted keyboards, X68000s blow their power supplies like cheap asian whores, and Apple >
Since Schwartz uses his comic as a sort-of LiveJournal for his computer woes, I have to hand it to him for buying a Pegasos machine. Several times the cost of a Mac Mini for just the motherboard + a quarter of the speed = WIN.
What I think happened with the PPC Amiga revival machines is that someone in Europe ordered a fuckton of PPC Linux boxes back in like 1999, suddenly flaked, and the manufacturer just had them lying around for a couple of years before realizing that they could hock them to gullible dumbasses on the internet by saying they were AMIGA-INSPIRED or FIRST NEW AMIGA HARDWARE IN A DECADE. And you can't play Chaos Engine or Lemmings on it? I'LL TAKE FIVE |

Bah. All I had to play on was a Commodore 128 up until the mid nineties. Yes, you read that right. Surprisingly, the thing still works, although the disk drives died long ago. After that my parents bought a real computer, a Macintosh Performa 6300CD.
My parents suck at picking out computers. |

I guess I could understand a love of Apple II's a bit more since it was "the computer that changed the world" and they are still laying around by the thousands at underfunded school's everywhere (seriously my sixth grade math class had like 20 of them they even had that ninja game). |

Your school had Karateka? No way. Dripping with envy now. All we ever had to play was Odell Lake, Oregon Trail, and Word Munchers. Mind you, Apple II Oregon Trail was awesome, but even the best of games can only be played so much before you get sick of them. |

We had a few games on ours, but I was usually too busy trying to press all the keys at once and cause the computer to go into "scroll past 200 pages of random gibberish" mode to bother playing them. Damn that was fun. |

I'd like to say something cheesy like They don't build them like they used to.
this sort of applies to cars and appliances and in some sense computers.
People remember how durable things used to be.
And while part of this is due to planned obsolesence (which is pure evil) what people don't seem to realize is older things are durable because they are simpler.
There was a time when you could take a car apart and reasemble it, those days are long past.
As things become more advanced they become more complex and thus there is more that can go wrong.
That said there are exceptions, if you can get a really old electric stove in good condition do it THEY ARE SUPERIOR. |

When the teacher was acctually around i would kill myself over and over again in oregon trail so i could leave obscenities on my tombstone for others to find.
"Here lies your fucking whore mom" :lol:

What do you want on your tombstone?
Pepperoni and cheese.
I'm too young to have ever used an Apple 2 other than through emulation. Oregon Trail fucking rocks though. I also must give credit to the working Apple 2 in the physics room which we actually use. That thing is so badass and green.
Also was that pepperoni and cheese thing an ad for Tombstone pizza back in the day because every time Oregon Trail is mentioned somebody says it and I don't get where else it could've come from. |

Wow, you are young. It was a lengthy and obnoxious add campaign for tombstone pizza. They showed a guy about to get shot by a firing squad to hock pizza. Pretty delicious pizza i might add.
My new diet doesn't allow me to eat pizza anymore :cry: |

I remember Oregon Trail. I'd always end up with sick cattle because I always chose "grueling pace". I also remember getting fustrated trying to cross the darn rivers. Hunting and going down the raft at the end was always fun though. |

OH GOD OREGON TRAIL
I remember being in Elementary school and getting into fist fights over who got to play it that day.
It sounds horrible, but I loved the hunting bit. It played into my sadistic tendencies. |

Wait... were you in my school?
Anyway seeing we are off topic (thank god) we had a blank machine in the computer room we where allowed to play with over lunch. The first machine in a new batch of 386's (fuck I feel old now) was buggered and the system op couldn't be arsed to set up the replacement. Being one of the local computer nerds I helped out by installing Doom onto it.
Happy days. It had to stop as everyone's work disks hard been magically been turned into boot disks and there where fights over the doom machine (now with a number of games on it too but Doom was naturally the favourite). It was a pity because there's nothing like an audenance when you make an imp go splat with the rocket lancher. |

Our fight over lunch computer had a shareware of Raptor on it, actually. Never lucky enough to have doom. |

Ah, the IBM EduQuest on MS-DOS 5 (well, once I hit high school). Token ring, OS/2 on the 486 server, and even Geoworks on any PS/2s I was allowed to fuck with.
Meanwhile the CAD department had real computers. I joined the Quake team sophomore year. Ha ha. |

Me too.
I honestly SUCKED at that game. I didn't use my resources and usually let my wagon people die of ebola or whatever. I just liked getting to shoot the ducks. |

The Commander Keen series was the best, but they screwed us out of number 7 back in '92. Also don't forget other great games like Crystal Caves and Secret Agent.
And I never got Oregon Trail, our school had this wierd caveman version that was supposed to be edutainment, I think. It was cool, because if you beat the game on the hardest mode, the cavemen got to live in a suburb. |

I liked shooting, like, twenty bears, and then only being able to carry home 20 pounds of meat.

It was never made clear to my satisfaction why you couldn't just drive the wagon over to pick up the rest of the dead buffalo, or have a couple of your pioneer kids come give you a hand. What kind of a frontier family are you raising if your boy don't know how to hunt? |
