Aqua-Soft ForumsGabe Comes Around
Yeah, I just read that, its great.
I feel the exact same way, abandoning my open source ethics for a snobby mac (one of these days I will).
They got me kicking and screaming, >.<
This is also a classic:
PS. Does anyone know what Gabe/Tycho (whatever their real names are, Mike or something) look like? It'd be interesting to see how close their characters are to them.
few things:
1) PA rocks 
2) why is gabe wet in today's comic? 
3) gabe and tycho look nothing like their real-life counterparts <_< , i was digging through some of the archives, and "gabe" had a web-cam...nothing like our cardboard-tube-samurai hero. the closest i can give you is a strip from Movie-Comics ("Gabe" is the one with glasses...i cant remember their real names either)...it contains harsh language, but what doesnt now-a-days?
edit: i just realized it says "Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins" in the comics that were posted...i just dont know which ones which, my guess is the Mike is Gabe, and Jerry is Tycho

Ta-Da!
This pic is a few years old (as you can tell by the drawings of the characters; Tycho (Jerry) now shaves his head bald. The other guy is Gabe (Mike).

Figured they wouldn't look realistic, people with glasses are very self conscious

hey you got a problem with people who wear glasses? i wear glasses ,whada u got to say to that? 
bifocals. 
thats very unlucky Contra, sorry man.
i blame computers... i got a cheap 14" screen with a 60Hz refresh rate then in 2 years my sight went from perfect to piss poor.
Now that i use LCD they have stabilised again.
Most likely coincidence, but who knows?
its just hard to imagine them as the tycho and gabe we love today....but there is nothing wrong with that, they still kick ass

nah, its not the screen, its from your right arm convulsing upwards erratically, and poking you in your eyes with your stiff, pointed hand. And you might want to look into that developing tourettes. And oil your wheelchair. (hehe, that was a damn good character).
funny comic too.
Cartoons not always looks like the people who drawn or uses them. Otherwise i would look like a white and bald guy wearing an orage shirt.
Hey, wait a minute...
Unless you look like me, a lowercase w in Myriad Pro with a gloss finish in a 33% red , 0% green and 67% blue hue. I don't wear any glasses. I feel out of place.
