| I doubt the reference is to a Command & Conquer expansion pack and not to the Half-Life expansion pack, though there's nothing in the strip itself to say either way. --[[User:Alex|Alex]] ([[User talk:Alex|talk]]) 21:39, 18 April 2014 (UTC) | | I doubt the reference is to a Command & Conquer expansion pack and not to the Half-Life expansion pack, though there's nothing in the strip itself to say either way. --[[User:Alex|Alex]] ([[User talk:Alex|talk]]) 21:39, 18 April 2014 (UTC) |
− | ::I agree. I've put more time into C&C than CS and I immediately connect this with the Valve game. Additionally, units in C&C are inherently light sources, so they are grue-proof. I am going to change the explain. [[Special:Contributions/173.245.54.63|173.245.54.63]] 18:06, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

− | I know I'm going to sound like a grammar nazi for saying this, but to whoever put "it's subsequent sequel", it's "its" in this situation. Don't worry, i fixed it. --[[User:JayRulesXKCD|JayRulesXKCD]] ([[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|talk]]) 13:22, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

− | The RPG genre and the adventure game genre aren't mutually exclusive. Weren't the {{Wikipedia|Quest for Glory}} games, for example, adventure games and RPGs at the same time? Wiki even describes them as hybrid adventure/role-playing games. [[User:Pelosujamo|Pelosujamo]] ([[User talk:Pelosujamo|talk]]) 16:14, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

− | The computers mentioned (IBM-XT, Atari, or C64) are too new. Zork was originally written for a DEC PDP-10 and ported to several other text-only computers. [[User:Condor70|Condor70]] ([[User talk:Condor70|talk]]) 14:41, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

− | ::Those computers certainly are not too new. I played Zork and many other Infocom text adventures on my Commodore 64, and I'm sure far more people played them on the C-64 and the IBM-XT than could have possibly played them on the DEC PDP-10 mainframe. A big part of the success of the Infocom text adventures is that they could be ported to everything that could run them at the time, and so they were.[[Special:Contributions/172.70.98.37|172.70.98.37]] 01:23, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

− | I was never into adventure games. Rocket-Propelled Grenades - now that sounds like it could be fun! [[User:TCMits|TCMits]] ([[User talk:TCMits|talk]]) 17:12, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

− | Am I the only one that picked up on Randall poking fun at explainxkcd with this one? Obviously an explanation of the comic would lead to "a discussion of the reason for the disappearance of adventure games in favor of RPGs," which is rather fascinating. Some kind of meta-humor here. {{unsigned ip|172.71.158.22|00:30, 1 December 2023}}

− | :...the above comic came out in 2006. The Explainxkcd site can be found to have been started in 2012 (going by the earliest created user accounts - and I think I was IP-editing on here within a year or two). The now-defunct, but separate, Forums/Fora ''might'' have created early enough to have been the target, but I can't easily confirm that bit of history.
