You are now the despondentAnarchist. You have a variety of INTERESTS. You enjoy TERRIBLE PUNS, SLEEPING to restore your low energy levels, and WRITING FANTASTICAL STORIES. You play ONLINE GAMES in your spare time. You SPEAK IN A MANNER representing the degradation of society. or whatever

>DA: View surroundings.

You are IN YOUR HALLWAY, recently having RESTORED YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION. You are planning on returning to YOUR ROOM, and PLAYING THAT GAME YOUR FRIEND TOLD YOU ABOUT. That GAME is known as 6.9, and you REALLY WISH IT HAD A LESS STUPID NAME. It's current name is TOO EASY TO MAKE FUN OF.

What will you do?

>Forget about 6.9 for now and play some GENGAME.

Dalies. Mentlegen. How are you on this fine day?

My other fancomic is kind of killed, because I can't go anywhere and I lost the files. However, I have like twenty character designs for this thing, and that's good enough that I can start to set up some ridiculous silliness for it. So, what should DA do everyone?

> DA: Forget about 6.9 for now and play some GENGAME.

Yeah, no. You've heard a lot about GENGAME from your ONLINE GAMER FRIEND. What was her name again...? staff... sword... Mistress? Yeah, her. She says that GENGAME IS PRETTY FUN, but she said that right before saying 'I will return, as I am currently falling down.' She hasn't replied for the past TWELVE MINUTES. You are BEGINNING TO WORRY ABOUT HER. But 6.9 is supposed to be the ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE IN ALTERNATE REALITY GAMING. Your OTHER FRIEND told you ALL ABOUT IT, and she claims that it is PRETTY NEAT, FOR A LAME MULTIPLAYER GAME. Your friend claimed that PORTAL was merely a MEDIOCRE PUZZLE GAME, so 6.9 MUST BE PRETTY SWEET.

Besides, GENGAME is FAR TOO COMPLICATED FOR THE LIKES OF YOU. You barely understood the CLASS SYSTEM when SM attempted to EXPLAIN IT TO YOU.

> DA: Retrieve ARMS from YOUR ROOM.

What are you talking about? You have YOUR ARMS already. You like to keep them HANDY.

Heh heh. HANDY.

> Try to REMEMBER your ACTUAL NAME.

What is a NAME? A MISERABLE PILE OF SECRETS, to you. You don't understand why the INTERNET IS SO OBSESSED WITH NAMES. For instance, when you met your FAVORITE ONLINE FRIEND, s/he introduced him/herself by ASKING AFTER YOUR NAME. You have a LIST OF FAKE NAMES YOU USE ON THE INTERNET, so you should PROBABLY INTRODUCE YOURSELF AS ONE OF THOSE.

You are now DEFINITELY JOHN SMITH. You enjoy LONG WALKS ON THE BEACH and NOT MURDERING PEOPLE. Because that is REALLY NOT COOL.

>Run off to YOUR ROOM.

As you begin to head back to YOUR ROOM to PLAY 6.9, You COMPLETELY FAIL TO SEE THE SHADOW BEHIND YOU.

> DA: COMPLETELY FAIL TO SEE THE SHADOW BEHIND YOU and continue down the HALWAY to YOUR ROOM.

Direct reference and knowledge of SM? This better be playing in the indefinite future. We don't wanna get any time paradoxed going here.

Please. When I use terms like "Alternate Reality" IN THE TITLE, I expect paradoxing the crap out of everything. By the time DA actually starts playing 6.9, Time is going to be paradoxing like a bowling ball hitting bowling pins. IE: A lot.

I'll wait for a few more commands then go.

>Seconded. Also suddenly realize how POINTY your CHIN is.
Then go off to PLAY 6.9 or WHATEVER...

What SHADOW? All you see is that COOL LAMP THAT FOLLOWS YOU EVERYWHERE. Man, you LOVE THAT LAMP. It is probably the COOLEST LAMP OF ALL TIME. And DEFINITELY NOT YOUR PSYCHO ROOMMATE, because that's WHAT IT SAYS ON THE LAMPSHADE.

> SHADOW BEHIND DA: Bring COOKIES and TEA with you.

But of course you have COOKIES! You are never uncivilized when ATTEMPTING TO MURDERSCREW DA IN THE FACE! You couldn't have TEA, but you do have some CHOCOLATE MILK, which is JUST AS GOOD AS TEA. And at least TWICE AS DELICIOUS.

>Seconded. Also suddenly realize how POINTY your CHIN is.

POINTY...? Your CHIN isn't POINTY. Sure it's very LONG and ANGULAR but that DOESN'T MEAN IT'S POINTY... It's just A VERY ANGULAR CHI-

Oh my god. It totally is.

>DA: Have a CHINSTENTIAL CRISIS.

LIFE has NO MEANING now... You have REALIZED HOW STUPID YOUR FACE IS, just LIKE IP ALWAYS WANTED. How will you GO ON, knowing HOW DUMB YOU LOOK? But then you REMEMBER A QUOTE YOU ONCE HEARD.

“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”

You are almost certain ROBIN WILLIAMS said that.

You have TRIED TO LIVE BY ROBIN WILLIAMS' WORDS for SOME TIME NOW, and you ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO CONTINUE DOING SO.

>Then go off to PLAY 6.9 or WHATEVER...

You have been TRYING TO PLAY 6.9 for a WHILE NOW! But you were DISTRACTED BY YOUR CHINSTENTIAL CRISIS for a MOMENT THERE. But YOU'RE FEELING BETTER NOW, and head to YOUR ROOM.

You are now IN YOUR ROOM, which was TOTALLY NOT TRACED FROM JOHN EGBERT'S ROOM. That would be REALLY LAME AND NOT COOL, which is the OPPOSITE OF YOU, JOHN SMITH, whose HOBBIES include LONG WALKS ON THE BEACH and DEFINITELY NOT MURDERING PEOPLE. JOHN SMITH would never BE SO LAME.

However, NICK would TOTALLY BE THAT LAME.

>play PORTAL just to SPITE YOUR FRIEND who thinks its a MEDIOCRE PUZZLE GAME.

Why WOULD YOU DO THAT? You've ALREADY BEATEN PORTAL TWICE, and DON'T FEEL LIKE PLAYING IT AGAIN.

Besides, AR WOULD KILL YOU if you TOOK ANY LONGER ON LOADING UP 6.9.

Apologies to Domo for stealing his bandwidth with the Arrow. I just couldn't find it on my own.

And I'm sorry for taking so long. It's just I usually trace out this stuff then scan it, but I CAN'T DRAW BACKGROUNDS AT ALL

I'm getting better though, so it's all right.

I'm really not pleased with the arms in the last panel, even though i usually sketch them like that. Ah well, c'est la vie. I'll return soonish with more commands, more of DA and maybe even some 6.9!

(that last option is incredibly unlikely)

**Domochevsky** · 2011-10-11, 08:51 AM (ISO 8601)

> DA: Take COOKIE from BEHIND YOU and EAT IT. Nothing wrong with that.

To be fair, we took the arrow from MSPA and are just hosting it on our own site. Not much of a issue there.

Speaking of backgrounds... the text on the lampshade is impossible to read and the cookie tablet doesn't contrast with the poster in the background. You need to arange those for better visibility.

Alright that's four suggestions! Now to go make the comic soon. I have actual HOMEWORK NOW.

I hate trig so very much.
