No, seriously, stop imagining that. You're freaking me out now.

Ugdon	2008-10-16 02:35:40
Play it again, Sam.
gerbiom	2008-10-16 09:46:52
isn't groundhog day a day where a furry giant rat comes out of the hole and predicts the weather?... no I haven't
NotAdrian	2008-10-16 15:00:25
Also a movie about a guy who gets stuck repeating a day over and over again... stars Bill Murray, good flick.
Ugdon	2008-10-17 02:37:12
It's totally ironic that you it says "stop imagining that" days before I actually start imagining it.

Johnald	2008-10-21 07:34:15
I was just fearing the same thing
Steelion	2008-10-21 08:10:23
If nothing else, they've violated their "One comic a day, no exceptions" rule.
gerbiom	2008-10-21 15:10:06
this place had rules? i thought it was pure anarchy
Bob	2008-10-21 22:42:55
I think "one comic a day, no exceptions" may have been the only rule, now it is pure anarchy
NotAdrian	2008-10-22 01:35:17
Well, at the very least, realitymachine used to be pure. Pure what is up to debate, but the purity isn't.
JC	2008-10-22 09:51:55
Anyone else notice the typo in the main strip? If you're going to leave something up forever, you gotta proofread...
Ugdon	2008-10-23 11:20:22
I'd say I fear the worst, but see above. The strip clearly warns against such acts.
Ed	2008-10-23 13:50:49
I really hope he is taking an extended break to think about his sense of humour. I miss the days when reality machine was funny :(
Gila	2008-10-23 14:52:18
Ed: It's the lack of Reason. Abnormality isn't as funny without a straight man and White isn't as good of one as Reason was.
dragonmage	2008-10-25 19:10:32
:( This is depressing. Realitymachine was the only consist thing in my life! What will I do now?! AHHHHH!
Sdude	2008-10-27 01:16:19
Hopefuly the next strip will be so big and fat, that we'll forget all about this abomination!
Autonimous	2008-10-27 15:04:17
I understand! Conist isn't a typo, it's a pun! This whole comic was a con! We've been had! Or my second guess is that the comic is now for the extreme vision-impaired, invisible comic strips for the blind. D=
Steelion	2008-10-27 16:51:16
Or for goldfish. Every day brings a brand new comic for their short memories to forget.

The only thing is able to explain this, is that they all had a terrible car crash. Which hopefully has not accured.
Steelion	2008-11-04 16:37:52
I had a dream last night. It was a weird dream. In it, reality (machine) came back. The art was similar to the early comics,and I can't remember what the dialogue was, if there even was any dialogue. Oh, and it was in full color. Like a rainbow vomited onto the background. Very weird.
Pi	2008-11-05 17:37:19
You know you miss a comic too much when you start to dream about it.
Forsooth and Pi	2008-11-06 02:01:42
Too true, Pi, too true. I was actually hoping they would return after the US elections, but I guess not. Man, this is worse than Dresden Codak!
Probably me	2008-11-06 04:04:26
I think I want an update, but that could just be Reason talking to me
over there	2008-11-07 17:18:25
They never call, they never write!!
Probably me	2008-11-08 05:36:19
/ah, but do they ever write about calling or call about writing?
Autonamous	2008-11-09 05:05:54
Maybe...We are the new comic! All our comments are just there to entertain our former hosts. We are but toys tied to the strings of the cruel puppetmasters! *Puppet dance*
Autochthonous	2008-11-09 12:43:48
Ah, but every good puppetmaster knows what happens if you leave the puppets alone for too long... At first, it's subtle. Did you hear a rustling noise? Did that one's eyes always follow you? Has that one always looked so... menacing? Next thing you know, wham! Your whole family's dead! Beware the puppets....
Sdude	2008-11-11 00:15:22
So by your theory Person will kill they'r family soon?
rubix13	2008-11-11 06:08:17
Mmmmm, no person must travel through the labyrnith if he is ever to see the family again.
Nikki	2008-11-11 20:26:17
Will he meet David Bowie and a whole cast of eccentric characters there? And everything will be coated in 40 tons of glitter!? Oh.. Unless you mean a normal labyrinth. Then I guess will have to forgo the glitter and Bowie.
Ugdon	2008-11-12 20:21:49
There is only one thing left to do, associates... We must download every RM comic and store it in case the dreadful day comes when the subscription for the host site falls through and we're left at 404 screens. If the sun sets, WE WILL KEEP THE FLAME THROUGH THE NIGHT! (No plagiarizing please.)
Gaekub	2008-11-13 00:21:45
Ooooh! Let's do the Fahrenheit 451 thing and divide them up, then memorize them.
Nikki	2008-11-13 06:15:41
Oh hey! There we go. Fahrenheit 451 sounds fun! (As long as we can avoid the robotic dogs with the death needles ya?)
Sdude	2008-11-15 11:36:05
Whats wrong with you people, stop visitng this page. This thing is dead, aiight? Im making this comment just because RM is my homepage. Tata', ya'll.
Autochthonous	2008-11-15 12:29:17
OK, so it's dead. Does that mean we can't entertain ourselves by dancing on its corpse? Man, it's been MONTHS since I last danced on the broken bod— I mean... yeah....
Derrick	2008-11-15 12:32:00
I've been reading RM since it was SoG, and i do not want to see it fall. Sure, the humor was getting stale there in the end, but there were times before this. The great terrible storyline in 06, and such. VIVA LA REALITY MACHINE
jc	2008-11-17 15:29:49
Nonsense! Old webcomics never die; they just fade away.

Steelion	2008-11-17 23:14:58
RIP Reality Machine 01/05/2006 ~ 10/12/2008 Here's to over 1000 comics.
jc	2008-11-18 11:16:47
Overreact much? I've seen loads of webcomics resurrect after a mysterious posting absence. Men in Hats... ok, bad example, uh... Joe and Monkey, no same problem... N4WTB (man I'm striking out here)... Triangle and Robert... Wigu! Wigu did it like 10 times and now its going strong(ish), so y'know, if it's good enough for Jeffrey Rowland. Anyway, keep keeping the faith and RM will return. maybe.
Probably me	2008-11-18 17:03:57
It's not a mysterious posting absence, it's a vacation. It's got a reason. The only thing it doesnt have is a date for when it'll be over.
Probably me	2008-11-22 05:18:55
Yeah, but you have to admit, some of the comments have been worth reading :)
Nikki	2008-11-21 04:10:43
Uhhhhh. Spam? *points up* Cause seriously. If so, I'm frikken hungry. *makes a sammich*
Autonamous	2008-11-21 13:09:43
You know you miss a comic bad when you check it everyday when there's been no post for over a month, even just to see if someone left a new comment D=
that guy	2008-11-22 15:49:59
@Autonamous yes, i know the feeling, and you pray that somehow you get an update to what's happened... this marks a sad day in history...
Nikki	2008-11-26 07:36:46
!!! The spam. She is gone. Does this mean there are people moving about in there?

yes, we seem to have some life here :D

Well, spam is gone, but the page is broken (for me at least.)
Nikki	2008-12-01 00:08:06
It's broken here too. Like a never ending string of some error code on the bottom of the page right? You know. I was thinking. What if they're trying to like, fake their death to escape us? Cause if they were gonna stop, they would have at least said so. So what if it's all some evil hoax!? *fear*
Ed	2008-12-01 09:05:25
My only explanation is that their vacation went drastically wrong; and they are as we speak fighting off Buddhist monks in outer Mongolia...
Gaekub	2008-12-01 18:48:30
Why do I keep torturing myself by coming to this page? Oh, and the page is broken for me too. Is there a programmer in the house?
Nikki	2008-12-02 07:50:42
Ed! You're right! We have to help them! Though honestly, it's what they get for going to outer Mongolia. I mean really now.

Nikki	2008-12-07 05:30:16
You know. If you read the spam, it's actually sorta funny. But really. I wonder if we'll ever see anything up here again.
Mr. Pants	2008-12-27 14:55:49
The messages are out of order due to shoddy coding of the message deletion function. The More You Know!
SangApp	2008-12-27 16:52:53
Well the spam got fixed...that means someone was doing something to the site, doesn't it?
Ed	2008-12-08 11:41:32
Nah, I'm afraid they are quite dead at this point. Reality Machine shall be sorely missed, If I could draw stick-men, and was funny; and would carry on the tradition, but alas, I am neither.
Probably Me	2008-12-14 17:01:13
Maybe all the spam means something. Maybe the spam is the new comic? Maybe it's all part of an elaborate encryption system and once we decode the lines of hyperlinks into binary it'll be in a png format...
Jostikas	2008-12-15 17:21:49
I assume I'm not the first one to notice that not only does the spam disapear and reappear, with the exact same text, the posts also keep reordering themselves. Either this is an elaborate hoax on Cushman's part to keep us non-enetertained while doing nothing or it's some very clever bug. Or a life game simulator of the random kind. And it really is quite hard to believe that a cycle which trows up an error message but continues iteration, or a case of instancing (can it be done in php?) to maximum depth would just randomly introduce itself. So Cushman... what gives?
SangApp	2008-12-15 18:54:35
Let's throw our shoes at him.

Autonamous	2008-12-30 14:22:31
Hey the page isn't broken anymore =D At least for me... I almost miss the endless wall of error code that used to be on this strip.
Gila	2008-12-16 15:22:47
I'm not sure if the messages are re-ordering but the date displayed in the upper right doesn't match the order they are displayed in.
Nikki	2008-12-17 05:08:13
I did notice the reordering and such. But I'm rather dumb when it comes to computer-y stuff. Otherwise, my computer wouldn't be in the process of dying from some trojan my multiple anti-virus programs are missing. ><
Jostikas	2008-12-31 10:57:55
...and a happy new year!
Ed	2009-01-01 08:09:20
I would say Happy New Year; but without RM I am a broken husk... incapable of ever being happy again. :)
Probably me	2008-12-18 16:31:56
He, can anyone get the links in the spam to work? I've tried a bunch but none of them seam to go anywhere...which kinda makes them useless as spam
SangApp	2008-12-18 17:59:48
Maybe they got tired of the comic and instead of saying so, came up with this tricksy plot in order to make people go away. Or quite possibly they angered the gods and you need to be on AfterlifeNet in order to connect to the spam.
Sdude	2009-12-10 09:50:40
That's it. It's official. They died.

You should place the same links on your webcomic! Google will make the connection and, seeing this is a highly visited page, should give yours a little push up the ranks too. Or not.

Ugdon	2010-02-20 02:00:06
First post in 2010! I... I'm pretty sure that first post a year and four months after the last update of a comic isn't anything to brag about, so I'm not bragging, just making an observation. This might actually be the last post, given that no other hopeless romantics have posted in over two months. You know, you'd think that the web host would drop it if it wasn't being paid for in over a year. I have these sexy business cards that I can't do anything with. What will I use to make my reality, if not a machine?
Ugdon	2010-02-20 02:00:54

Well, I'm still here, and still checking in. The longer this goes on, the more I suspect that it's a game, and just none of us are figuring out the solution... Is there a riddle somewhere?
