Generation Vexed finishing date was 20th April 2011.
The comic’s title comes from the phrase “Generation Next”, which was used by Pepsi as a slogan in the early to mid-90’s.
The comic itself is a parody of the first trailer for Sonic Generations.
“Well, here we are again. It’s always such a pleasure.” Is the first line from Want You Gone the end song from Portal 2. Numerous other allusions to the Valve game and the song populate the disclaimer.
The in-name titles refer to AAUK having recently left SEGA.
The French word for apple is pomme, and potato is pomme de terre (essentially) ‘apple of the ground’ – potatoes being another Portal 2 reference.
