Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Schlock mercenary, the daily comic about the misadventures of Tagon's Toughs, a valiant band of mercenaries. Currently, they have experienced their highest real death rate in the history of the comic. Schlock, our amorphous blob of a main character, asked if he could have their stuff. Tagon is not amused.
Also, there is an artificial planet that is probably doomed to karmic destruction because of a perfect wedding. And a lot of Gavmogres one head wound away from becoming UNS killing machines. Oh, the horror.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Ah, can't beat that new thread smell...
Notice how Schlock is holding on to the sides of the panel in today's strip? There's certainly nothing there in "real life" to hold on to...

Gee, you're right. Been nearly a week since Kevyn manhandled it.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
With bells whistles and lampshades on it. In contrast, grabbing hold of the frame isn't even breaking it so much as a routine signature bit of Howard's style. There's no direct comment or acknowledgement by the [/i]characters[/i] that they're in a comic, or even by the narrator. Just by the artist, and he's allowed to know that.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Yeah, it has toned down a little.
Maybe it's just because I started reading after a truly massive archive binge, but there also seems to be fewer footnotes these days either.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Well, most of the footnotes were put into expanding and explaining the universe. Now that it's much more established, there's less need.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
So, C-Gas. Have we run into this before? If not, any guesses as to what it does?

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Is that particular Gav one of their employers? I honestly can't remember.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
They were hired by Gavcorps, of which the Oisri project is a subset, not by the project members themselves. At a guess, I' assume this particular Ga is the ambassador to the fleetmind who arrived with the barrel of "instant amorph." If that's the case, then he's also the Gav who originally offered them the job on Parnassus Dom. So, "from a certain point of view" yes, he's one of their employers, or a a minimum, their employer's official representative. However, that's not to say that he's authorized to approve them liquidated Gavcorps assets. Or, ya'know, Gavcorps members.

I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Ouch. I'm guessing Thurl figured out that Ventura is a UNS operative at the worst possible time.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Why is he wearing his old uniform, though? Is it because the new ones were made by Tailor, who has also been interfered with by Ventura?

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Or Thurl could have been a UNS plant all along. It really could go either way at this point. He could be three steps ahead of the rest of the company like he sometimes is, but there's also no shortage of ways for the UNS to suborn a guy like him.
Since there are two factions at play in the UNS right now, it's entirely possible that both Ventura and Thurl are plants from rival factions as well, and Thurl is taking action to expose his new counterpart.
At least we know he probably was not infected. He wouldn't be wearing a uniform at all if he were.Last edited by Imgran; 2012-08-12 at 02:05 AM.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
While Para has cleary been an agent for someone, she also has done nothing to harm the unit and has at times used her special resources to help the unit. (Para is likely an ally of one of the Tough's kids) She almost certainly stopped all the Gavs from being taken over and made into super soldiers.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
SHE MURDERED TAG.
He wasn't "breaking down." He had an ethical crisis and decided to resign. It wasn't until Para hacked into him that he "shut down," and she could replace him with her own minion.

I think you REALLY need to calm down Lurker. Yelling at people is more often a sign that a person is wrong then that they are right.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Captain's orders. DOB'T forget that bit. Tagon ordered Ventura to get TAG working, and he was refusing to do so for no technologically justifiable reason So Ventura fixed the problem.
Sure, she did it with all the finesse of a neutronium sledgehammer, but it was on the Captain's orders.
