My next comic, wherein I attempt to add more verisimilitude to Left 4 Dead.
As requested, here is the section of the wall obscured by the characters:
Civilization VI
I'm a very casual fan of the series, but I gave Civilization VI a look to see what was up with this nuclear war simulator.
The Biggest Game Ever
Just how big IS No Man's Sky? What if you made a map of all of its landmass? How big would it be?
Starcraft: Bot Fight
Let's do some scripting to make the Starcraft AI fight itself, and see how smart it is. Or isn't.
Internet News is All Wrong
Why is internet news so bad, why do people prefer celebrity fluff, and how could it be made better?
The Dumbest Cutscene
This is it. This is the dumbest cutscene ever created for a AAA game. It's so bad it's simultaneously hilarious and painful. This is "The Room" of video game cutscenes.
Would it be possible at some future time to see the comments obscured by our three heroes and their text bubbles?
Ben
I thought this was hilarious! Love that sort of thing.
I think it was the “tap a cold one” that got me.
“Don’t say no”, indeed.
Ah, yeah.
Was playing with Shamus last night, and his spray is actually something very similar to the comic. Not as long, of course. Still pretty damn funny though.
Geez, 8 tries to beat that last level?
That “tap a cold one” graffito is a t-shirt waiting to happen. You have a moneymaker there, Shamus.
“Tap a cold one”
Oh, Christ, that is brilliant.
“It’s a witch”
And no one thought to add, ‘May we burn her?’
CrushU: Yeah, I noticed that when I played with him, too. First time I saw it, I thought “those words can’t have ALWAYS been there…” so I put a nice big picture of Flapjack over it to keep my mind focused.
Hmmm. So would the witch be more or less feared if hse turned people into newts?
Thanks Shamus! I like the bottom right comment.
Ben
If the newts could get better, no. And please, stop referring to Monty Python? It’s soooo 20th century-ish.
Dang, Guus, nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition!
Funny stuff. I recall seeing something similar in-game:
Forum Wall Grafitti
I especially like Francis saying “Anybody got a marker?” Totally in character for him.
Add my voice to the chorus calling for a “Tap a cold one” t-shirts!
Heh, cute. And yeah, Monty Python is getting a little bit old. While we’re on the subject of Witches, though, I’ve become rather good at, ah, “coronations” … I’m even halfway-decent at one-shotting (or at least two-shotting) Witches on Normal with the regular shotgun … though I still play more or less strictly on Easy.
Shamus: Do you really feel less-bad about friendly fire incidents when you think about this particular “what if it was like this”, Considering you’ve been taking pains to play with players who, pointedly, wouldn’t behave like that at all?
OMFG! You really do read all the comments here!
I’m touched. ;)
Yup. “Tap a cold one” is pretty much brilliance, I have to agree. That’s a keeper.
You’re only calling Monty Python old because you didn’t think of it first.
No, other people thought of the content of Monty Python four decades ago. :P
What one of the previous guys said was right! If ‘Zombie Booty: Tap a cold one’ isn’t a shirt yet, you have GOLD on your hands Shamus and are a CRIMINAL if you don’t not jump on the opportunity! That is money in the freaking bank right there.
What gets me is that so far nobody has picked up on his wonderfully understated Night of the Living Dead reference. :)
Hilarious! Monty Python getting old? Never! LOL!
Interestingly enough (and on a mostly related but not really sidenote) finally bought the game. Figured my machine wouldnt be able to handle it, given that I am at the bottom of the required spec list for the game. Turns out it worked fine, with the settings set low enough (new machine is in the works, which is why I bought it anyway). Anyhow, as I was figuring out the game, I recalled this thread and actually found myself paying attention to all the scribblings on the walls. Go figure.
Oh, and the game is a blast. :)
“Tap a cold one….”
