Hm. Not as vulgar or acerbic as I expected from May. Although the accusations of knee fetishism are in character.
The equivalent of a prison giving a guy a new cheap suit and sending him out into the world.Quote:

More that it's all cheap. The only bit that doesn't fit "cheap materials" is the feet, and that'd be explained as a lack of quality control beyond safety.Quote:

Obviously they still make them, though....
I hate septum piercing. Always makes me worry the person will accidently rip their nose by accidently locking it somewhere.
That's my problem with anything other then earrings for the most part.
I'm freaked out by piercings of any kind. Even earrings. I will never understand how people will voluntarily stick metal things into their bodies. I shudder even looking at them. Also, add tattoos to that list. You take colour. And put it into your skin. With a needle. Like, my skin hurts just thinking about it and I feel nauseous.
I dont want them myself, but i don't mind them in other people.Quote:

I'm not sure but I think that might be an author avatar doing the piercing.
It's not exactly how he's drawn himself before.Quote:

Also: Come on Marten, the joke wasn't that funny, stop laughing to appease your girlfriend :smalltongue:
Hence the need for good delivery. The Shadowrun character joke was still funnier though.Quote:

Geez, Marten, that was stupid.
That can be our next thread title!Quote:

It's from Hanner's father, it might do anything, including reshaping reality. Claire looks the same, though...Quote:

Makes a noise and a light when you press the button. Her dad wanted to make something useless for once.
Now that we've met her father, this is scarily plausible. Though it does clash a bit with his panic at finding out it was his birthday, and he was running out of time to do things before he died.Quote:

Spoiler: New ComicThe new update is so much in Sync with which was posted in this thread, it's almost scary. .... maybe not as scary as that line about the app.
Maybe just me, but this latest comic has a very classic QC vibe to it.
I think this thread by large is very much the intended audience for WC, at least in most regards. We may bitch about it at times but we have a rather good idea of how the plot develops... Well, some of us, anyway. Also: Crazy scifi gadgets are always fun to guess about.Quote:

He knows how it works, it's incredibly obvious and simple. Why would he need to write a manual?
I found the thing from before about robot jobs/personalities - commentary under comic 1996.
