Incase anyone doesn't know about this, Ctrl+Alt+Del is an online comic about two guys who sit around and play video games, their names are Ethan and Lucas.

Ethan is slightly crazed, whereas Lucas is more level headed. On paper it all sounds pretty cliched, but once you get into the story it's really fantastic fun, consistently funny with jokes than many gamers will appreciate. Ethan and Lucas are surrounded by a whole load of other characters that enhance the story such as Lilah (Ethans love interest, a female gamer), Chef Brian (a random insane chef), Rob (the Counter-Strike zealot), Scott (the Linux user) and Ted (Scott's pet penguin) to name but a few.

I'll link you to the first comic. I suggest you read from that one onwards as opposed to skipping directly to the latest strip as this is the best way to get to know the characters.

Btw, if there is anyone here who does know about CAD and is a member of their forums, hey, my name is Insomniac over there.

It doesn't hold a candle to Penny Arcade at all. It's like comparing Radioation Dude to Radioactive Man. While Radioactive Man has his awesome catch phrase "Up and Atom" (a delicious pun), Radiation Dude has a similar, yet lamer, "Up and let's go".

PA = RM, if you didn't get that.

I mean, I read a handful of these. They got a big stupid robot is is supposed to resemble an Xbox (I didn't notice until the guy said he was a console and I saw the big X on his abdomen). Whereas PA has a drunken....what is that again? The word "DivX" comes to mind...

In the end, this Ethan character is nowhere as funny as Gabe.
