Nerf Now

On the next episode of Nerf Now! SCIENCE!

Science reveals the hypothetical Zerg vs Tyranid battle ends in a d'awwwwwwwww.

Engie-tan's new design appears to have garnered generally positive reactions.

"Soon". More like already for more than two years.

[1] So... Engie-tan sleeps in the nude?

All hot girls sleep in the nude.

Oh dear. There's going to be a Cat Fight soon, I think.

And am I the only one who cares that the comic is about to hit Number of the Beast?

I do, the first comic I ever read ended on it's 666 comic, or would have, if the author hadn't realised andmade an extra strip just so it wouldn't.

Casey And Andy did too, but had trouble getting there.

STRIP #666... Wait, why does the archive say it's a Duke Nukem strip?

My first Elder Scrolls game was Morrowind, and before that I'd only seen Lizard Folk in the Avernum series, so I'm still a little off-put by the idea of reptiles with boobs.

I fully agree with The Rant.

For the love of Weegee FUND IT!

...Proceed

I just did an archive binge of Nerf Now and I think it's pretty funny, but the whole Sniper cheating on Pyro with Spy was absolutely unnecessary drama to me. Did the part with Pyro cheating with Engie come up at some point before Spy revealed it? Because otherwise it seems to be thrown in there to make Sniper and Pyro equally guilty.

I also really dislike how the comic tends to turn into a whiny Author Tract at times. It's really grating.

I don't think that Pyro cheating with Engie was mentioned before the whole intel thing, so no, it just seems to be something put there to make it so that it was mutual cheating.

It seems like a rather loose continuity to begin with though, unless Jo is suddenly going to start in on huge dramatastic story arc.

On a side note I've been meaning to ask this for a while: has anyone else been weirded out by the way he's drawing noses lately?

This is why the Mushroom Kingdom can't have nice things.

The very first story arc did involve Pyro going Big Damn Hero on Team RED to rescue his crush Engie, only to have Scout steal all credit for the victory and rescuing Engie... except it doesn't work on Heavy, Medic and Demoman, who all go 'You are credit to team!' to the real hero.

Oh, and the final page is where we see Pyro waving to the wistfully watching Sniper-tan. Next TF 2 strips, of course, show her confessing to him.

I don't get the reason behind what happened in the third panel. Can someone explain it to me, please?

It turns out Zelda was a good enough adventurer to have gotten a bunch of cool stuff, thus she no longer needs rescueing and Link, now redundant, fills her previous role. I have not played any Zelda games. I guess it's poking fun at a recent one?

But that doesn't seem connected with the previous two panels being apparently about Zelda and Ganondorf possessing the Triforces of Power and Courage, respectively.

I think Zelda usually has Triforce of Wisdom and this comic is switching all three of them around. Link usually has Courage and Ganon has Power. If both of those are claimed, he only has the usual Zelda's role.

Ahhhh... That makes perfect sense. Heh, poor Link.

It's not really inferred, but if their roles are based off of which piece of the Triforce they've got then in that run-down Gannondorf would be embarking on an epic quest to rescue Link from Zelda, who kidnapped him.
