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 ? '
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.
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.
OH MAN I LOVE TODAYS STRIP!! 😀 u got to me on this one since i am a gamer hehe and the 1st panel rocks! pixel bug made me laugh 😀 and how bug is chillin in a gamer chair XD i also think it would be awsm to see a person glitch >.<
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. 🙂
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.
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.
I love the video game bug in the television!
poink! bleep! 🙂
oh crap. the boss is holding an uzi. I never noticed that until today.

Actually, I don't see what's so weird about rebooting Nana. We have to do it all the time.
Totally awesome!
i get timed missions all the time, deadlines, but except from that, which made me cry, twas a good one.

Excellent comic, as always.
I LOOOOOOOOVE the puzzle levels!
8 bit bug ftw!!
LOVE it as usual! Video Game bug is awesome!
Timed missions=tests. Oh college…
hey, that second panel would really me become more productive.

Wait a minute …
The art in that last panel is FANTASTIC. Well done.
what about the things that happen in video games that you wish would be in real life like save points and background music
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.

It would be fun to claim your homework was late because of lag.
Or that on your way to school, it glitched through the ground >:D
And escort missions! Don't forget about those.
oh I HATE escort missions! >_<

You could have the escorted person run into traffic with reckless abandon. Escort missions are like that a lot of the time…
i actually thought that was pretty funny
videogames have quicksave and quickload… i miss that in real life… oh, yeah, and miss "Undo" button…
I personally would like to go out like Mega Man, and I want the sound effects, but I'll be okay cause i found extra helmets
LOL!! i love this one
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.

I wish the real world had glitches.
