30 Hilariously Dark Comics By Arcade Rage That Gamers And Pop Culture Lovers Will Relate To
Interview With ArtistWe can call the internet a place where we can take our minds off our daily struggles and find comfort in relatable things we can all share. You might argue, but comics infused with dark humor are a great way of dealing with the anxieties of life and finding little opportunities to chuckle about the absurdity of modern times, or simply sharing silly, random, and hilarious stuff you would never normally think of! These ones are for gamers, meme and pop culture lovers, and people trying to survive in these crazy times in general!
Estonian visual artist Mart Virkus lets out his frustrations about video games, pop culture, and everyday life in a form of nerdy and witty comics called Arcade Rage. His minimalist comic strips range from reviewing and capturing the essence and problems of the most popular video games to touching upon serious global topics such as mental health and environmental and social issues. The artist sums up his comics as “dumb jokes for smart people.”
Scroll down for the interview with the artist and follow Arcade Rage on social media for a regular dose of darkness!

Canada is great and our healthcare is good, but... mental health care kinda sucks. Thanks for the props, tho.

They are as shortsighted as the actual humans who won't do anything about global warming. The whales will run out of food once the ecosystem that supports their prey is destroyed. Humans tend to be more concerned with the costs, but the one thing that's more expensive than reducing CO2 emissions is the cost of mitigating all of the damage from climate change (sea level rise, more severe weather, etc). But most of the politicians will have died of old age before society has no choice but to pay the costs, so they just don't care.

The first game I've ever played where this behaviour is fixed to some extend is Desperados 3. If there is an enemy guard on patrol, and sometimes have a nonsense chit chat with another guard and leaves, and you kill that other guard and hide the body, the first guard, when coming back, will wonder where the other guard went to and search around. I think this type of behaviour also happens in Metal Gear Solid 5. Obviously, it still needs to be a game, so realistic behaviour can't work.
