Awkward Zombie

It's not really all that bad. You can set random battles off, all but a very few battles are optional after the loops begin, and you only have to do one loop. I say it's very much worth it to do it all the way, but if you want to end it quickly, you can do so with little penalty.

But if you end before doing all the loops, you get the bad ending.

"Bad" is a stretch. Incomplete would be better. It still ends up on a high note (arguably more so than the good ending), and it's still satisfactory.

@Bravely Default,

Huh, the comics made me reticent to play the game, but the system actually sounds really interesting. I will most certainly try out eventually.

Yeah, "incomplete" is more proper. And there've been plenty of people willing to argue it's a better ending. Let's leave it a that.

Awkward Zombie thrives in overplaying a game's silly flaws, anyway. And seems there have been some heated discussions about the endings that I never got to hear.

Oh, no doubt. And this really is funny, and illustrates a legit issue with the story. It's just that, in this case, there was something about it I had to counterargue.

Really, there's like, two bits in the game that need a total rewrite to really fit.

Anywaya, the comic was definitely funny, though I prefer Reason for the Treason and Fashion Deux Pas.

The Beautiful People

Hilarious, but I disagree with her comment on Link's Art Evolution in the rant. He's been getting more expressive◊, if anything.

Well, I read it as her complaining that Link switched from his own "cartoony" design to a more... Streamlined one, but said evolution started way back to Ocarina of Time, and sometimes he gets back to a more cartoony design for some games (A Link Between Worlds being the most recent example).

He sure looks closer to a "classic" anime character in Skyward Sword and Hyrule Warriors, however.

Well, maybe I could have phrased that better. I disagree with the "expressionless" part, not the "anime elfman" part.

Anime Elfman◊?

Heh, Awkward Zombie is back doing her Smash Bros comics just as Brawl in the Family ends. She even have a grumpy Dedede.

She's been doing Smash Bros comics for a loooong time. She even has her own Marth, because she's been writing Marth for longer than the Fire Emblem he appears in has been localized.

She comments on that here.

I phrased it wrong. I meant she is back at making her SB comics now. She haven't been making them consistently for years.

Oh.

Okay, then yes. She is back to them.

Also: her 24-hour comics are always adorable.

That new haircut of hers makes her look even more androgynous than usual.

Also can confirm, cats are adorable.

Her cats are named Tom Servo and Crow. Amazing.

New Ico comic. Moral of the story : watch where you push your blocks.

Well, so much for that journey.

More timely ''Smash Bros.'' jokes!

Yesssssssssss.

I wonder if Master Hand (or better yet, Master Core) is going to blow Roy's face off again.

Poor Roy.

Dude can't catch a break.

Man... I know he would have been just as much a clone, but I would totally have taken Roy over Dark Pit if I had a choice.
