#3 - Loading Tastes Like Chicken!

Twin

on March 1, 2006

Yep. Loading screens. The bane of gamers everywhere. Apparently, they feel like floating into a formless void, filled with warm jelly.
(Or at least I imagine so.)

In fact, I saw a movie on Youtube.com not too long ago about loading screens that made my jaw drop. Someone had tried to find out how long it takes, from turning on a PSP to the first actual gameplay, for a game (in this case, Smackdown Vs. Raw 2006) to load.

6 MINUTES, 28 SECONDS. Ho-lee carpsicles.

I don't mind saying, being a DS owner, that I snickered a little at all those PSP owners out there. In a nice way, of course.
(Suckers…)

Enjoy the comic.
