Manly Guys Doing Manly Things

Why would you link that Coela.

You're so mean, I had shits to do today.

Why? I suspect that, deep down inside, part of why webcomic artists do what they do is to feed their Inner Sadist, and that the cries of their readers are like candy to them.

(You'd think that one of these days I'd catch the post count, and have page topper context ready already...)

Oh man, it's been a while since I played this game.

Still one of the better "launch a dude with a timed input, then direct him away from obstacles and into extra launches while buying upgrades" games I've played.

There needs to be a shorter name for that genre. "Slingshot Game", perhaps.

That'll do, Enlong. That'll do.

Tries out the game...

God dammit.

Well, all achievements complete.

That was fun.

>There needs to be a shorter name for that genre. "Slingshot Game", perhaps.

Kongregate has them with just "launch" tag.

Also, I can't figure how the fat gummybear works

New comic out;

And yeah, Dredd is precisely like that in the original 2000A.D. comics...

I thought it was a touch odd that she used the comic's Dredd appearance, in a strip obviously based on the movie (Anderson's uniform, and IIRC Slo-Mo was created for use in Dredd), though.

And no, I didn't buy the Bluray. I did buy the DVD, though. Having neither a BR player nor a 3D TV would make buying the BR kinda pointless, I'd think.

Last time she drew Dredd she mixed elements from the different outfits I think.

She basically draws him how she feels like.

Yeah, like most of the original artists on the strip. The range of different uniform styles the Judges have worn over the years has been astonishingly huge.

New comic out. Jared gets dangerous.

Not dangerous to the enemy, mind you... :P

Hey, everyone knows the fastest way to get badass in a videogameverse is to hang around in the back lines while a bunch of much stronger guys do all the real work killing lots of powerful enemies.

Poor Coela, if only you knew that the best way to have a popular pawn is to make it an eye candy.

Also, the best pawns to hire is warrior or rangers. Having your own pawn being a mage is better since you have a direct control over what spell/elements he has.

But that's for another thread.

all I know of Dragon's Dogma is that Zero Punctuation review. Which colored the Pawn system with an interesting brush (specifically, a royal purple one)

All I know about Dragon's Dogma is that I'll probably never be able to play it :V Oh well.

I'm still waiting on the damn game to drop in price. It's still 60$ at my local gamestop! Madness!

The neat thing though is that I played the Demo and it saved my character's data, so I don't need to worry about meticulously recreating her and my Pawn.

Do you do stuff on Ebay? If so, there are tons of copies of the game, on both PS 3 and X Box 360 available now on ebay.com

Most far cheaper than 60 dollars, and not just used but new and sealed ones as well.

New comic out. Idris Elba co-stars.

2 stars? What kind of cruel man would give only two stars to a pawn.

Is two stars a really bad rating then?

Not really, I'm exaggerating the truth a bit, but the truth is that depending on your job in the game, you're either climbing a monster or dodging his thousand attacks, and you don't have the time to notice what your pawns are doing. Generally the rating ranges from "Helped me alright, 3 stars", to "didn't see him but he helped I guess, 3 stars". It all depends on the Arisen player really. But actually, I think there's a rating for the combat prowess, the "helpful" rating is the information a pawn can help you.

Pawns can do missions that you haven't done yet, and they can return some of that knowledge to you. For example, one pawn I hired can be clueless about where the hell is the snake skin purse I'm looking for, but the other pawn I hired had an owner who made the quest already so the pawn knows information and give it to me. The latter pawn would obviously be more helpful.

But again, it's rare to give less than 3 stars. You expect pawns to do at least something, anything. It's hard to fathom all the things that need to go this wrong. But in the case of the comic, Jared would probably deserve 1 star since you know, he's not even attacking the cyclops. The arisen is being generous with 2 stars. Especially since archers are godlike against cyclopes.

Didn't know that. Corrected.

I think it's "Cyclops" and "Cyclopses", not "Cyclop" and "Cyclops".

Almost: I believe that it's "Cyclops" and "Cyclopes" ("s-eye-clope-eez", roughly, and only one 's') for singular and plural respectively.

And if he has a jetpack, then he's Flyclops.

And if he starts singing K-Pop, he's a Psyclops.
