Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXXIV: Om Nom I'm Lobster Dom

[TheArsenal]

An extradimensional creature that can render any human being powerless by willing it to be so and within a few weeks of meeting the protagonist has grown from a large ball of tentacles and fangs acting purely on hunger to figuring out who the hero is, where he lives, and how to communicate him, and it's going to be getting steadily smarter every time Dominic manages to scare it off for a while.

Except your missing the point. If this was a good webcomic, that focused on one side (Plot or Comedy) and could do all that well I would say "Thats actualy a very good Idea" . This is DD were talking about. Take all of the above, and remove all interesting parts. Then add on ten curb stomping battles.....and facebath. Then we get what will happen.

Edit:

But If Snuggly was more original, and not just a ball of tentacles I would have liked "Eldrich Abomination" more. It could be that the whole thing would be made up of distorted reality. So the monster itself is a distortion. Treas get mouths and feathers, animals spontaneously com bust and turn into gibbering eyeballs. And nothing could hurt it.

Ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen and ladies. I return from my hiatus to bring you a weapon against the Snarkerdammerung. I give you, the world's first strip-slay video-game, 'Punchy's Brilliant Adventure: Ley Line Scramble'. Punch.BA:LLS for short. I invite you all to check it out, marvel, question my sanity etc.

It's about 5 megabytes and the preloader takes a little while to appear, so if you just see a white screen give it a few minutes.

Words fail me.

Stop making sense! Can't you see it's useless?

Nay! To the last I reason with thee; from hell's heart I offer explanation to thee; for discussion's sake I hurl my justification at thee!

Hope springs eternal, my friend. And really, attacking The Beast seems to accomplish Jack Diddly, and tricking it's not going to work forever. Nothing CAN hurt it, as far as we can tell.

Yes!

Oh, man! That ending!

We are not worthy, TamerBill!

Except for talking...Pretty much nothing has changed in the beast. It used tentacles before, it uses them now. With a boost from Luna (Bless her heart) Dom killed the beast piece. I think the only reason it was powerfuller later was because of its armour. We have seen it defeated in combat twice already.

BEER BEAR! *pow* *pow* *pow*

My goodness, I laughed so much. Truly a work of art, Tamer Bill.

This. This is the best thing that has ever happened in all 34 threads, ever. This has made every single second spent on Dominic Deegan not wasted time. Every time I stayed up to see the sneaky gate, every rage-filled post I've ever made, every time Mookie's writing has caused me physical pain - so, so worth it.

I'd rather not use an unfamiliar site. PM me your e-mail address and I can send you a hard copy, though.

Well, that's going in my signature. For anyone wondering if there's method to my madness, I made the game to teach myself Actionscript. It's been a learning experience.

Seconded and added.

[TamerBill]

Speaking of first post links, SWFcabin seems to have died, so the old Flash movies aren't accessible. If anyone knows of somewhere else to put them, I'd appreciate that.

I don't know how, but hearing, "Beer bear! Get the beer!" is so rewarding.

[Gez]

Bill: you can try http://megaswf.com/ for hosting.

I don't think it'd really fit on Armor Games or Kongregate.

Also you should email Mookie the link to Punchy's Brilliant Adventures. He'd certainly link it from his newspost.

To help compensate for this raw stupidity, allow me to offer you ponies.

And pointed to me by an online gamer contact. From a furry artist.

20 games in, still stuck at the 'marvel' stage.

I won't say it's the single best thing to ever happen in these threads, but it's up there with the birth of Domiology in the golden days of the 300 page thread.

[Zaq]

Damn those little descending claw things marnogs! They keep interfering with my punchosity! Mainly by killing me.

My record's about 100 or so. I'll keep trying a while longer, though. I want to see the ending. It has to be glorious. The game is glorious.

EDIT: Final score: 286. No idea if that's any good, but hey, I saved rescued the world.

[Johnny Blade]

I feel your pain.
In the beginning, I kept getting killed because I didn't punch enough to get the Health Regeneration in time, and in the last phase these things are sometimes just too fast.
(Then I kept getting killed by switching lanes too aggressively and being injured by illusions that were already too close or only just past for a while.)

But it's so worth it.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

That game. It's amazing. BEER BEARRRR!

[Turcano]

This strip, to me, is firm evidence that Mookie is just trolling his fanbase out of existance so he can close up and move on. This degree of ineptitude cannot be generated accidentaly.

The Marnogs? The trick with them is to avoid charging a MegaPunch and just use standard punches to hit them as they come down.

Marnogs! They eat Weedles!

Jah, though those were the only ones. Using mainly the mega punch worked well for me, especially on the weedles. Dodge a lot, and mega punch when you can.

The ending is pretty glorious. So was the fist shield.

[Zaq]

I had a blast.

I did find it rather sad ironic telling something that the game has a much more richly detailed background and environment than we've seen in waaaaay too long. And that's terrible. Isn't the background just Maltak?

[TamerBill]

Isn't the background just Maltak?

Yup, a single panel of Vacation Arc Maltak flipped and looped. Dig the parallax scrolling on those clouds, too.

Also you should email Mookie the link to Punchy's Brilliant Adventures. He'd certainly link it from his newspost.

I do wonder. I deliberately avoided using snark-exclusive elements just in case; the original version included Stunt's Head Bombs. I'm not going to e-mail him myself, but someone else is welcome to tip him off.

[Glass Mouse]

My record is..... 43.

I suck at this game

(I'm pretty sure it's just me, though, as the actual game is awesome! Though when I died for the sixth time, I really REALLY wanted to just punch über-Dom in the balls XD )

[Helanna]

Hooray, I've been sig'd! And that is pretty impressive for a learning project.

Well, I'm not going to say that that's probably the most likely scenario, but . . .

[Castel]

I found that it was a lot easier to go all Megaman and use near-exclusively the Mega Punch.

[Johnny Blade]

I found that it was a lot easier to go all Megaman and use near-exclusively the Mega Punch.

Not using it is safe, though. Pretty much a guaranteed win, but you'll get like 150 points out of it.

It's the sissy way.



(Yeah, I've been playing this on and off all night.)
