Well That Was Unexpected Thread II: Now with 230% more lasers!

[Emperor Ing]

Remember he's 20th level. It's not entirely impossible.

I had to look up the meaning for sic. I hope you feel ashamed of making me learn something.

[Emperor Ing]

Knowledge is power my friend. In order to have Marnia sound at least remotely Shakespearan, I did have to study the dialect. While i'm not fluent, I can think of a few times where sounding like a 17th century actor has come in handy. All you had to do was learn one 3-letter word, I had to learn half a language.

Comic 481 is up. Now for a temporary change of pace. I had a lot of fun with this one.

Also, for nostalgia purposes i'm playing Pokemon Red. OMFG I am having fun like you wouldn't believe!

Heh, didn't know you'd put that much effort into it.


Oooo, Pokemon Red? Normal play through, or Nuzlocke style?

[Keios]

Get a Tauros. That thing is OP.

I really like the theater-style reenactment of Marnia's story.

[Emperor Ing]

I find my Gyarados and Kadabra to be pretty OP already. Between them, everything dies forever.

And...*googles Nuzlocke Pokemon* i'm doing a normal playthrough. To add some challenge, I started Charmander, because the first two gyms are strong against Fire. What I ended up doing was making my pokemon so high-level that even the gym leader wasn't a threat.

Speaking of which, Check this out. Summarizes pretty much my Pokemon escapades. 5 Gastlys and 1 Haunter were "knocked out" in the making of this comic.
You'll notice a SLIGHT...uhh...problem. Needless to say I accidentally saved it as a monochrome bitmap, and couldn't salvage what it was prior. So if you have a good imagination, try to imagine the greys back in as normal. If not, well, I might remake it sometime, but the substance is still more than excellent enough that it's worth sharing.

And yes, I did name my Kadabra "Ahriman." Deal with it.

Is the problem that your game screwed up?

Is the problem that your game screwed up?

No, it was TOTALLY my fault. I accidentally clicked "monochrome bitmap" when I meant to click "24-bit bitmap"

[Emperor Ing]

...and...

Comic 492 is up. I'm worried i'm gonna drag this on though, because i'm feeling a bit uninspired. Fortunately the comic after the next one is planned out :3

In other news, i'm training the Pokemon A-Team so that when they do powerhouse through the Elite Four effortlessly, they aren't as easily ruthlessly curb-stomped by [RIVAL] at the end. Considering the highest-level thing I can fight in the wild is a level 45 Onix with a relatively mediocre XP payout, this'll take a while. And no, no ruthless curb-stomping has occurred. Yet. But it's happened to me before and I know it'll happen again.

So I wanna poll you guys: Since it'll be a long-ass time before Magnemite is anywhere near useful, who should I bring back to the A-Team? Gyarados, or Ahriman (Kadabra?)

[memnarch]

Kadabra; there's next to no real weaknesses for psychic types in the old games.

[Keios]

I aprove. I also aprove of a Snorlax or a Chansey, with high HP, rest, body slam and whatever you like. Good for soaking up damage and paralizing things, while you do nasty things.

First thing that popped into my head when I saw that last bit.

Howard: That’s both kinky and horrifying.
Kreese: So, regular Saturday night for you, huh?

[Emperor Ing]

So I went through. I thought I was gonna get curb-stomped because my 2 most powerful pokemon were KO'd by the first guy. I had only one revive, so I used it. I then curb-stomped the next three near-effortlessly. Final battle with rival: Ahriman, who's the last one standing, finishes off Blastoise (the latter of whom has 20 levels above Ahriman) sends a Psybeam into Blastoise's face, granting me the final victory.

Now i'm off to get the computer to get my saved games to work so I can actually progress PAST the Elite Four. Until then, Pokemon Crystal now, where save games DO work. I want Mewtwo!

Comic 493 is up.

Shouldn't he have said 'Oh Emperor'?

[Doorhandle]

It appears Marina is suffering technical difficulties.

Shouldn't he have said 'Oh Emperor'

Taking his holy name in vain? HERESY! *BLAM*

Let's stir the pot. Have an incredibly disturbing and late Valentines Day special.

Forever alone,Xeno. For ever, alone.


On that note, Can anyone here cast phoneix's enhanced restrianing order?

[Keios]

Mental scars have been given.

[Emperor Ing]

Nothing is powerful enough to cast that spell, let alone make it into a scroll. Nothing.

Comic 495 is FINALLY up

Also, Metroid: Consternation Comic 14 is coming up next.

Q? C? C?

[Doorhandle]

...Candy?

Is candy gonna come out of the portal?

[Keios]

Arcane candy? That's the best kind. It tastes ethereal.

[Doorhandle]

Also Octarine, if my sources are to be belived.

[Emperor Ing]

Wanna know a secret? Octarine is grey. Also, it's not the only color of magic. Just the preferred color of Xeno and The Emperor. Princess Marnia uses gold, Kayl uses a greyish crimson, Rand uses blue, Clanor uses crimson, The Archmagister uses purple, the Superintendent of Hypt uses black and green, you get the idea.

Metroid: Consternation Comic 15. lol, this is comic 15 and it has 15 panels.

How are you female? AI don't have genders.

[Keios]

Did HalfTangible just say your new avatar has feminine parts? The artist might be quite sad with that statement, seeing as is obviously unintended. I also didn't think so until he said it.

*points at Rand's gender icon*

[Keios]

Well that's silly of me. Also, is it cross gender week again?

[Emperor Ing]

Annual obligatory thread link. TL;DR, yes it is gender bender week. Well, it's not going on right now, but most people like to set up weeks in advance.

Comic 496 is up. I can honestly say I did not see that coming. That said, I like where I am going with this.

For this reason, expect 497 to be done by tomorrow. I anticipate a 6-paneller.
