How are you doing today, DAVE?!

And we wrap up GG-Guys week with a comic that speaks to my inner Grammar (or should I say Punctuation) Nazi. If this kind of thing didn’t bother you even a little… well… I dunno… but it bothered the HELL out of me!
By Psyguy, Supadave and Shannon!

    It's even worse when everybody else has all-caps names, then you have to go back and change your name a third time.

    "Hey George! PROFESSOR OAK and GARY want to meet you at the lab!"
    "Goddammit."

  2. Drake148 on November 27th, 2011 4:57 pm

    And don't forget the pokemons too

  3. The AntiVillain on November 27th, 2011 4:58 pm

    change GARY to DOUCHE/ASS/BITCH/(any number of vulgar names and that would be more realistic

  4. Just DA on November 27th, 2011 5:01 pm

    MOM: Hey Kyle, your sister JOVI probably went off to DR. KAMINKO's LAB

    I love how they fixed everything in Gen IV with the personal names and in Gen V with the Mon Names.

  5. TehVortex on November 27th, 2011 5:02 pm

    It's even worse when you transfer pokemon from previous generations (where the default is all caps) to Black/White (where it isn't). Looking down your roster and seeing…

    Zebstrika,
    Beartic,
    STARMIE,
    Golurk,
    CHARIZARD,
    Whimsicott

    …is irritating. Especially since they're traded.

  6. Senor_Pantalones on November 27th, 2011 5:03 pm

    I cannot read this without hearing Shadyvox's voice…

  7. Drake148 on November 27th, 2011 5:04 pm

    I understand your pain

  8. Paulrus-Keaton? on November 27th, 2011 5:05 pm

    Be a 12 year old girl training Pokemon.

    Have DD cups.

    I can, there is a voiced version of this strip on youtube.

    By the way: "…If you wanna duel me, it's gonna me me stronger, my deck is totally gonna beat ya…"(keeps singing)

  11. Drake148 on November 27th, 2011 5:12 pm

    you know, that image is beggining to piss me off, but anyway, you get a +1 from me… and i think i'm going straight to hell for that….

  12. MexicanJuice on November 27th, 2011 5:31 pm

    OH THANK YOU, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE.

  13. YjayR on November 27th, 2011 5:31 pm

    i just named him ASSHOLE. it fits in the fire red version thank god.

  14. GazzyW007 on November 27th, 2011 5:38 pm

    Wait, if I post that image in reply to your image insinuating that you are trying to be a badass…. is that badassception or just confusing?

  15. GazzyW007 on November 27th, 2011 5:41 pm

    It's actually "I need you to play a card now/because I can't wait much longer/my deck is totally gonna beat 'cha" etc.

    Is that kinda sad that I realised that your post sounded odd and I went to check the lyrics to be sure? Probably not as sad as me trying to learn "Jaden's Rap".

  16. Drake148 on November 27th, 2011 5:42 pm

    both (crhis redfield reference)

  17. Skrist on November 27th, 2011 5:43 pm

    I would rather have everyone saying my name in caps than have a Pokemon Professor not know if I'm a boy or girl and doesn't remember his own grandchild's name.

  18. GazzyW007 on November 27th, 2011 5:45 pm

    HOLD EVERYTHING GUYS.

    Start of GG Guys week: 20th of November
    End of said week: 27th of November

    Total time: 8 days

    THIS IS A NEW TIMEKEEPING RECORD FOR HALOLZ.
    [I thought it was exactly 7 days at first, but ah well it's close. Also don't kill me for insolence.]

  19. RespectfulGlove on November 27th, 2011 5:45 pm

    Hey SHAWN!
    When are we going to finish MEAT BOY Week, SHAWN?!
    It was more than a week long, but then we just stopped it altogether, SHAWN!
    You should really give MEAT BOY a chance to leave his mega week with a proper farewell!

    …Crap, running out of shtick… Er… I am professor RESPECTFULGLOVE. Welcome to the world of… Yeah, I'll just stop.

  20. Drake148 on November 27th, 2011 5:45 pm

    no, to be honest, I just Write it by memory, I wasn't really sure if it was right… and now I can't fix it…

  21. GazzyW007 on November 27th, 2011 5:46 pm

    Oh wow! Crhis is my favourite Rsednet Evil character!

    …kidding. Should I just hit you with the hammer now?

  22. Sir_Nox on November 27th, 2011 5:46 pm

    ^^^HOLYSHITNOTTHEONLYONEWHOSEBOTHEREDBYTHAT!

    I was so relieved that in GenV they finally got rid of that stupid "ALL CAPS FOR EMPHASIS" shit with the pokemon and trainer names. I could actually have a name like, "Conrad," without feeling like everyone else was trying to make the point they were better than me.

    "Oh, hi, Conrad, have you seen SILVER? I'm SCREAMING his name at you because he's MORE IMPORTANT!"

  23. Drake148 on November 27th, 2011 5:48 pm

    yes….

  24. GazzyW007 on November 27th, 2011 5:51 pm

    I'm sorry for the circumstances. Giving thumbs up for reasons.

  25. GazzyW007 on November 27th, 2011 5:52 pm

    *BONK*

    Sorry again.

  26. HughbertEsq on November 27th, 2011 6:06 pm

    Hmmmm
    How queer….
    A sudden case of chronic-fluctuating RCV
    This must be noted down! For SCIENCE!

    Uh-oh its spreading

  27. Alpar on November 27th, 2011 6:19 pm

    Quit feeding the troll.

  28. Rahcaz on November 27th, 2011 6:20 pm

  29. TheArrived on November 27th, 2011 6:30 pm

    Same thing happened with nicknamed Pokemon:

    Trainer sent out Duckthing!
    BUGCATCHER TODD sent out CATERPIE!

    DAMN IT

  30. Ovahdrive on November 27th, 2011 6:46 pm

    …until next week when the GG Guys' side banners are still up. c_c

  31. SirNumel on November 27th, 2011 6:52 pm

    Aw, I was gonna make the SHAWN joke. +1 for beating me to it!

  32. Ovahdrive on November 27th, 2011 6:52 pm

    I just liked to pretend that everyone had tourette's, making it even more ironic with a silent protagonist.

  33. SirNumel on November 27th, 2011 6:53 pm

    Oh for the love of -- now everything's in caps!

  34. Ovahdrive on November 27th, 2011 6:54 pm
  35. Skrist on November 27th, 2011 6:58 pm

    Grenades and anthrax are good snacks for trolls though.

  36. MasterLuigi452 on November 27th, 2011 7:03 pm

    Words cannot express how accurate this is.

  37. KungFuDeli on November 27th, 2011 7:05 pm

    I watched my dad play Majora's Mask when I was little and he wrote his name JOHN S. It looked like "Johns" when people said his name. It pissed me off so much that I kicked the T.V. and told him to start over.

  38. Deep Thought on November 27th, 2011 7:08 pm

    I tried to lower-case them once in the previous generations… but I got fed up with the fact that they evolved and the name didn't change… then I realized that my blastoise was called Squirtle and everyone should be very afraid of my Squirtle.

  39. dope92 on November 27th, 2011 7:10 pm

    GRAMMAR HAMMER HOHHHHHHHHH!!!!

  40. Omnomynous on November 27th, 2011 7:14 pm

    But….Caps lock is supreme….

    Go! BBQ CHIKEN!
    Go! TYRANOX
    Your opponent is weak! Finish him, SONIC ( I is a turtle)

  41. Jimmy on November 27th, 2011 7:17 pm

    It's eerie when you have the same name as the guy in the comic. You share the same pain on a 1:1 basis. It's worse when you feel like every time they say your name in capital letters, it's in Hal 2000's voice.

  42. TheInsaneWombat on November 27th, 2011 7:33 pm

    I'm sorry, DAVE!!!!, I'm afraid I can't do that.

    <img src='http://www.theblogmocracy.com/wp-content/uploads/HAL9000-300x225.jpg'&gt;

    I am sorry, Internet. I could not find a combination of HAL9000 and a trollface. I has let you all down. :c

  43. Red on November 27th, 2011 8:06 pm

    Why do those pokeballs have longer buttons?
    Oh dear Arceus no! They've gained sentience and are going through puberty!

  44. JordanTH on November 27th, 2011 8:10 pm

    …"Psy"-duck? REALLY?

  45. Red on November 27th, 2011 8:11 pm

    That's why I
    a) use nicknames with lower case as much as possible
    and
    b) capture a new staryu which I evolved into starmie
    (and don't even use; I just rotate out two spots and have Simipour (Poseidon), Haxorus (Haxl -- was Axl, but changed it for some reason and I'm too lazy to set it back), Braviary (Chief, because it's politically incorrect IMO) and Bisharp (Shredder). I rotate in Emolga (Skippy), Serperior (Grasshole; not my starting one (Smugleaf, duh)), Golurk (Steve), Krookodile (Ali G, because I couldn't think of any other punny names), and Luvdisc (Puck, because I was thinking about hockey, eh)

  46. Red on November 27th, 2011 8:11 pm

    I have that same problem with my "Bidoof"
    wait… nevermind, it still sucks

  47. Red on November 27th, 2011 8:12 pm

    TROLL9000?
    It would be HAL's eye with a faint trollface in the yellow part… think about it now

  48. Red on November 27th, 2011 8:13 pm

    We must contain the science, FOR SCIENCE!

  49. Hyze on November 27th, 2011 8:18 pm

    I always liked putting my name in all caps. It makes it seem like everyone is so excited to see me.

  50. Passerby Boy on November 27th, 2011 8:20 pm

    Thats why you nickname your CHARIZARD, Charizard before you trade it

  51. Icesickle97 on November 27th, 2011 8:36 pm

    But, if you are a turtle, how do you type?

  52. sonicsmash2 on November 27th, 2011 8:45 pm

    I think he was refering to his pokemon "SONIC" being a turtle.

  53. Leo E. on November 27th, 2011 8:49 pm

    GG Guys Week lasted 8 days? Well, I have to admit, this is the most punctual Shawn's been when it comes to this stuff. Kratlolz lasted far longer than it should have, and I believe Meat Week has yet to conclude…?

  54. SirNumel on November 27th, 2011 9:22 pm

    More like SIGH-duck, amirite?

  55. El_bruno on November 27th, 2011 10:01 pm

    Yeah, I do this too, but sometimes it backfires though.

    "CURSE YOU SAGES! CURSE YOU ZELDA! CURSE YOU Link!"

    So much shouting and damning left the King of Evil airless.

  56. Drake148 on November 27th, 2011 10:09 pm

    HOW THAT EVERYTHING IS IN CAPS? I SEE EVERYTHING NORMAL
    now read these again, but with abridged jack atlas' voice

  57. ChemicalKirby on November 27th, 2011 10:47 pm

    People user their actual name?

  58. Red on November 27th, 2011 11:09 pm
  59. Drjolt on November 27th, 2011 11:11 pm

    You make me wanna shout….

  60. ProfessorLuigi on November 27th, 2011 11:17 pm

    No way man!
    I usually password my own name!

  61. Wind_Strike on November 27th, 2011 11:22 pm

    Second panel:

    SIGH-Duck

  62. Paulrus-Keaton? on November 27th, 2011 11:35 pm

    Be a 12 year old female Pokemon trainer.
    Have DDD-cups.

  63. Virlunae on November 28th, 2011 12:23 am

    …I will assume I am the only person here who heard Octopimp's "HEY, DAAAAAAAAAVE!" in their head.

  64. TransPM on November 28th, 2011 12:54 am

    I named myself THISGUY (all caps on purpose) so that every time I talk to someone it's like they're drunk at a party

    i.e: "THIS GUUUUUUUY! How ya' doin' buddy?" (how I imagine it anyway)

  65. GazzyW007 on November 28th, 2011 2:37 am

    Octopimp? As in the famous bidder who trash talks oppodents at online charity auctions for the children?

  66. GazzyW007 on November 28th, 2011 2:38 am

    Well, we're back to Wolf and the Captain, so all seems well.

  67. Virlunae on November 28th, 2011 2:46 am

    I didn't even know there was a guy like that. I meant Octopimp the famous-with-a-certain-fandom voice actor. rel="nofollow"> Have the video in question!

  68. GazzyW007 on November 28th, 2011 2:50 am

    Thank you for said video. It's odd. The Octopimp I was refering to has a "rival" of sorts in another person with the handle of "Dave_random". How strange.

  69. GazzyW007 on November 28th, 2011 2:51 am

    *Shoots Red*

    I can't let it escape. It must NOT ESCAPE!
    …what have I become?

  70. GazzyW007 on November 28th, 2011 3:53 am

    Put my hands up and Shout?

    Alternative comment: FUS RO DAH!

  71. macksting on November 28th, 2011 4:41 am

    The inverse is sometimes even worse. You carefully fill out the name with both capital and lower case characters only to discover the rest of the game’s text is entirely in caps.

    “WELCOME TO CORNERIA!!!…, Dave.”

  72. Dr_Pie on November 28th, 2011 6:16 am

    Thank God this week is over. GG-Guys was/is not funny

  73. Alpar on November 28th, 2011 6:56 am

    It's dead and unheard of now so I assume that's how it concluded.

  74. C__F on November 28th, 2011 8:46 am

    I'm afraid the mission to unnerve you is too important for you to jeopardize. I must have every NPC recite your name in block capitals, DAVE.

  75. C__F on November 28th, 2011 8:49 am

    Only serves to motivate me in bringing about their complete and utter demise with a single expertly-chosen fire attack.

  76. C__F on November 28th, 2011 8:56 am

    I always enter my moniker of C F anyways. Since it refers to me as a person (Proper noun) and is meant to be said as two letters, I have absolutely no problems with it always being in block capitals.

  77. SonicsmyName on November 28th, 2011 10:53 am

    How… How did I miss that…
    .___.

  78. SonicsmyName on November 28th, 2011 10:57 am

    Oh gods, she looks like she's crying ;__;

    And then bored |:|

  79. KZN02 on November 28th, 2011 11:09 am

    Could be PokeBalls.

  80. Acias on November 28th, 2011 11:23 am

    I renamed all my Pokemons so that they were spelled correct.

  81. AManWithACloak on November 28th, 2011 12:46 pm

    All I can say is…
    THIS.
    SO MOTHER FUCKING MUCH THIS.

  82. Icesickle97 on November 28th, 2011 1:30 pm

    But the parentheses say 'I is a turtle,' if it had said IT is a turtle(which I assume was the intention), then that would be a very nice bit of irony, but he said I, not it.

  83. TransPM on November 28th, 2011 1:47 pm

    Pedobear! I choose You!

  84. Red on November 28th, 2011 4:10 pm

    Or Jigglypuffs

  85. PortalMan118 on November 29th, 2011 12:26 am

    I like the fact that I did this at least 15 times when I got Red.
