Aegis J Hyena's Super Hyena Fun Show: Random Banter Thread #215

Oh my gosh, that was an awesome comic.

Like how the creator of this awesome webcomic went on to write a novel which became a major film. Bob was there, too.

I can almost say with 100% certainty that anyone above 20 who's on this forum has read Adventurers!, RPG World, or both.

I've never read Casey and Andy. Cool that he went on to do that. I checked and the person who did Adventurers! is STILL doing Anti-Hero for Hire, it updated the start of this month.

*raises hand* I'm 46, Miss, and I haven't read either?

Technically above twenty here and no, haven't.

Hello Mountain King. Hope you're halls are doing well.

I too am also half asleep due to the time I'm posting. And I'm remembering all these old web comics I loved like Sluggy Freelance, Adventurers! and so on. I wonder if the latter went on to do anything else after Adventurers! and Anti-Hero for Hire, like how RPG World's creator went on to make Steven Universe with Rebecca Sugar.

Yooooooooooo, Sluggy Freelance! I remember that one super fondly. Even after years of growing older (not necessarily growing up), I still think Torg is a kind of funny sounding name.

[FinnLassie]

So I just need to make you angry enough for you to come over, got it

And then once you're here, you'll see how great it is and forget all about smacking and stuff I am worth all of the money.


Also I spent like 2 hours last night bingeing on kantele music on Youtube. One guy (from Nest) has like a 2-hour solo live performance, and it's awesome.

I suggest you come to Finland, more like. More bands for you to see! I mean think about aaaaalllll of the concerts you could attend. Come on lad, step out from your denial and drag your arse up here.

Check out Pekko Käppi. You won't be disappointed.

It's 2am and I'm poking my head in on a board I haven't visited in many long years. Place looks more or less like I remember it. The folks, we're gonna find out. So, hi again. :D

Oh hello, person that has previously been unknown to me! How are you, mr. King of Mountain?

I fail then...I haven't read either!

[Teddy]

Today was spent reviving my suicided Ubuntu partition to access the drawings I was puting together for my thesis report. Turned out to be easier than I feared, following a dead lead, I came across an error message I could Google, and loo and behold, ther people had had the very same issues as me. Turned out an unfulfilled dependency caused apt to fail, and Ubuntu kinda depends on having the package manager check for updates on boot, hence why it would end up flickering and freezing on boot. Feels nice to have a fully functional computer once more-

You should all definitely read it. Adventurers! is basically the video game RPG answer to Order of the Stick. RPG World is as well, and though it's art is better and the story moreserious, IJQ got depression and never really finished it, right at the end. Though this did lead to Steven Universe so it's all good.

Oh, wow. That's so neat - I haven't thought about those comics in years!

Hey you wanna know what's REALLY old and nostalgic for me?

Bob and George.

[Aegis J Hyena]

I still glance at Bob And George from time to time. It's still up.

*makes faces at Tailiu, just because* Did you enjoy Level 1 of the Feather Caverns? There should have been about twice as many Ruined...

MS Paint Masterpiece is still going and still 100% accurate a name for that comic. God damn Disgruntled Ferret get an actual job doing this.

[Aegis J Hyena]

It's still going? I thought he lost what, one or two more computers and gave up.

[LaZodiac]

I mean it's on page 1177 so...I ASSUME it's still going. That's more than there was last time I checked a thousand years ago. There's no listed date and the FAQ doesn't mention anything about it not being around still. So....I don't know.

Okay did some searching around, the latest page is from December of 2015 so...I guess it's not still going? But then he never really updated FREQUENTLY, you know?

Hey hey, I'm doing alright. Fun fact, webcomics is actually what brought me back around. I was in the neighborhood and my curiosity overwhelmed me.

I remember Bob and George! We should trade old webcomics and see how many we've read before.

Does anyone remember Kid Radd? I wonder what the writer's doing now - last I remember, he was the manager of an ice cream shop.

*makes faces at Tailiu, just because* Did you enjoy Level 1 of the Feather Caverns? There should have been about twice as many Ruined...

I definitely enjoyed it! Glad we didn't have to face any Ruined, though - those are a pain in the arse to fight.

You did, remember? Three of them... one large one and two regular ones. The "Black Ruined" on the tables in the next room should have been attracted by the noise but I hadn't paid attention to what was in which room :P

Webcomics are yay! It's always fun to meet "new" faces. I've only been here since 2013, so I always bump into something nice and new! Also, OotS has made me acquainted with a lot of new webcomics as well. The ads are awesome most of the time.


ION: Went to an educational event today about gaming and movies in education. It was mostly targeted towards librarians but my university had advertised it for us, so... yeah. It was really awesome! I wish there'd been more about gaming, though the movie section was really intriguing as well. And I might've just secured myself an internship at the media education centre... I also met another student there! She's in the lower year so I hadn't met her yet. She seems super nice. I wonder if I can add her on Steam... and if some people don't know/remember, I'm studying community education

IOON: So, we divided our project groups for our... well, project management course... and the group I'm in is...
*drum roll*
*DRUM ROLL INTENSIFIES*

ESCAPE ROOM!
We had like other stuff as well that were requested by actual organisations but there was a section called wild card... and ofc I had to suggest an escape room week prior today. People actually liked the idea enough that we actually have a chance to create it now. Daunting but exciting. No idea what the target group will be BUT HEY WE GET TO BUILD AN ESCAPE ROOM *rubs hands together* *hand rubbing intensifies*

Because of the training at the library I couldn't join today so I was a bit scared of where I'd end up in, but all went well. Really glad that I remembered to send in my priority list beforehand...

I have had so much coffee today. I can't speak any language right now. My English is crappy as hell and Finnish isn't going too well either. HFFUAHFe.

DID SOMEONE SAY...ESCAPE ROOOMS?!?

Spoiler: Reposting a joke I told quite some time ago

Show

You know the phrase "faster than greased lightning?" Well, a man named Bob thought he did. After being hit by greased lightning for the first time (which he claims was already somewhat gross) he decided that he'd race against a bolt of it! Bob did indeed run fast, but ultimately, the greased lightning caught up and, once again, struck him in the back.

This time, it was revolting.

This reminds me of a bunch of Tom Swifties I and a couple of friends came up with in FB chat. "Revolted" was definitely one of the puns we used. My favorite, though, was:

"Well, who do you think could possibly have been as good for Jane?" Tom asked probingly.

DID SOMEONE SAY...ESCAPE ROOOMS?!?

I went to an escape room with a group of Mensans. We failed to escape in the time limit (success in overtime). Not sure what that says about us...

*squirms in panic* WHAT IS ZERO ESCAPE

Mensa is a mystery to me. I am most certain that they're somehow connected to some weird alien stuff. Mensa members are aliens? Hmm. Myes. Most likely.

You have to score in the 98th percentile on an IQ test (people in the top 2% intelligence). In other words, a group of the smartest people around were unable to solve a simple escape room.

Oh, I misspoke. I meant to say "any more," not "any."

To be fair a room full of anyone probably can't solve an Escape Room. Large groups of people, regardless of intellect, tend to be stupid. A person is smart. People is dumb.

[Gnomvid]

A person is smart. People is dumb.

Not in my experience, single people can be surprisingly dumb about just about anything, on the other hand often groups of smart people may overlook the easy bit's because they are too obvious, but then again that goes for dumb people as well although we can't guarantee they actually think the easy bit is easy or obvious.....

A-ha! I told you. Aliens. Confirmed. Our human puzzles were too human for the Mensans to solve!

This is exactly my point. Take the basic human being. They tend to be rational, but stupid. That's still smarter than a group of people.

Yup! It has muuuurder in it! You should definitely play them to get ideas and to experience one of my favorite narratives of all time. It's nothing bad don't worry!
