WAV is honestly the coolest guy ever
Harumph. Well. Not very Best-like after-all, is he?
He’s RPing a different character now
He started over in Cyberia and apparently didn’t run into any Ego Magnifying Prophecies of Awesome. He didn’t actually suck AS bad before that moment in his development in Arkerra.
Don’t know, he sounded pretty sucky to me in that pregame interview back in Sepia.
Maybe he has since learned to roleplay better than Best.
No it’s wood… We burn men later.
You missed. You wanted the comment below this one.
Burning Man?
Pre-CISE-ly!
Survival problem alpha one: These primitives only have eyefone 3 lines and plugs, while I only have eye phone 6 input ports. Damn you and your planned obsolescence, Kumquat computer co!!!
Wait… does this mean WAV is going to ‘starve’ to death? Poor guy, we’ve barely gotten to know him (certain persistent fan theories notwithstanding).
Possibly, though it could also mean that he can’t use his abilities much without shutting down or something. I’m reminded about a show with a military android that was discharged and had only a certain number of days to live, which were reduced on occasion when it needed to access it’s more draining skills.
He may be able to absorb energy from the berserker entities? Or perhaps Syr’nj can do SCIENCE to him. Never give up hope.
I don’t see there being much of an issue. “Magic” and Electronics are so similar it is scary.
SCIENCE and Magic just need to create a wireless charging port.
Or the gnomes will rig something. they do that.
The music theme, the keytar, the solo lifestyle…
Maybe I missed the comments on this earlier, but I just had an epiphany that WAV is Payet Best’s Cyberia character/avatar.
If this hypothesis is correct, then perhaps Byron will now have a Cyberia character, too?
KILL the blasphemer!
Erase him from history.
Wait, are you not being sarcastic? You apparently missed like 90% of the comments on every single page this guy has been in.
The second part of what he said was interesting and new though
Best was sucked into a portal to another dimension. Byron just sort of got stabbed and then megapossessed and then stabbed a bunch more. Not remotely the same circumstances.
There _was_ a portal involved, though.
Huh, good point. Also this theory would remove the need for Byron to get resurrected again. I’m not sure how that resurrection would have been explained this time.
Maybe he’ll even sweep to WAV’s rescue with a convenient recharging device in this chapter?
No, lissen up, Rachel got wiped digitally off the holy Hurricain Hard drive. where as Byron merely died. This is a video game. there are probably a coupla lives in the lower margin of the puter screen sone place. Where as Rachel is nothing more than an error message.
No, lissen up, Rachel got wiped digitally off the Holy Hurricaine Hard drive. whereas Byron merely died. This is a video game. there are probably a coupla lives in the lower margin of the puter screen some place. Allyagotta do is clik. Whereas Rachel is reduced to nothing more than an error message.
And Cyberia was involved too…
And the way he slides down that hill… Yup.
Half Life 3 confirmed.
In other news, who’s been feeding Aslan?
Ooh WAV insights. nice.
Looks like he will not last long in this `realm. Hmm…an energy source…dancing dynamo? Shamanic thunderstorm ? Giant nosehair incineration plant ?
Good calls, all. In a magical world, finding someone to hit you with a lightning bolt might not be too difficult.
How about a bunch of Baghdad batteries? Very low current, but safer than lightning.
http://www.discovery.com/tv-shows/mythbusters/mythbusters-database/ancient-batteries/
Maybe find some lodestone, build a generator, and build a windmill in the Sky Elves’ city?
Could go hydroelectric, but if Gastonia got that technology, they’d start a dam war, wherever they wanted to create a lake.
A dancing landshark ? Now I´ve seen EVERYTHING.
Yep, that’s the reply I was looking for.
in the first panel:
comradesÆ
?
Fix’d.
Interesting. So far, I like WAV.
WAV needs to fix his text encoding, that apostrophe isn’t showing up correctly. It’s a common problem when viewing text files on a Cyberian HUD console that were written on a Mac, or vice-versa.
It’s weird, as the one in “Fr’Nj” looks fine.
That dance doesn’t look safe at all.
It’s a dance for friends, who have been left behind.
They can dance if they want to.
‘Cause his friends left WAV behind
They do seem to be suffering from a terrible case of boneitis.
Well you can act real rude, and totally removed… (and I can act like an imbecile).
Everyone let’s do the safety dance! now first of all make sure that there’s lots of clear space around you, second make sure to sweep the floor clean of any debris that might injure you, third, let’s do half an hour of stretches to make sure we don’t pull any muscles and… Oops! that’s all for today folks!
Which is odd, as none of them have hats.
They certainly look life they come from out of this world.
And leave the real one far behind.
Can I just say thanks for having page 1 and cover together? I am always disappointed by cover updates because it means more waiting for the real stuff.
After dropping back down to 3/week after doing 5/week, we figured that cover-only updates would just be cruel.
Thanks.
Yeah, I was hoping for a page update. Thanks! Though honestly, waiting through an entire interlude to find out what happens with the rest of the team is going to be hard as heck.
Wait, how would he eat? He doesn’t have a mouth… I guess he’ll have to get all his energy from revelry then…
It has now been 1.5 cycles since the encounter with the Corrupter Beast. I happened across an artifact that greatly resembled a data disc from back home. Though it didn’t glow I thought this a result of being too long in this odd environment.
I attempted to insert the disc into my drive slot which proved to be impossible due to some physical alteration to my body caused by my translation to this world. More on these alterations later…
Designate Frigg immediately began to convulse, making honking noises, and collapsing to the ground. I found this extremely distressing as it appeared did those in the immediate area. However, they were looking at me as opposed to the suffering of designate Frigg. I believed they wished me to help designate Frigg as the one closest. All attempts failed and in fact appeared to make matters worse.
Later, after I gave up on reading the disc and Frigg recovered from her odd condition, designate Fr’NJ explained that the item in question was actually native to the local realm and was meant to hold a portion of a prepared mass to be consumed.
Designate Fr’NJ insisted I acquire a different instance of this artifact for use in the consumption of mass. I was about to ask why but designate Frigg as well as several others present appeared about to succumb to her former condition again. Designate Fr’NJ suggested I simply obey for now but that she would conduct a “crash course” in the basic functions necessary to life in Arkerra later that cycle in private chat.
The consumption of mass was an amazing explosion sensations! I can’t describe it. It did not have the immediate re-energizing affect that I am used to however so I thought that perhaps I had not consumed enough mass. The continuing consumption of mass not only seemed to have the opposite effect of accessing the Circuit it eventually begin to cause pain forcing me to stop. I could barely move and as I wearily looked around designate Frigg walked by and said, “If you think that was good wait till your first poop. After all that, its gonna be a doozy of a doody that you pop your brown cherry on!” I find designate Frigg very difficult to understand at times. Luckily her speech patterns do not seem indicative of common communication protocols among my newfound comrades.
I will try to look forward to the continuing “adventure” (apparently a very important concept here) that adjusting to life in Arkerra presents.
This is great.
Thank you very much though to my dissatisfaction I was unable to find a way to fuse, “Adventure Time!” with the greatness that is, “I pooped today!” and still have it sound vaguely like him so I decided to stop there. Next time!

Well, this is now my headcanon. XD
That was awesome.
“my stomach feels funny.”
“oh? did you eat today?
“i did! in fact, i decided to get all of my eating done all at once; i ate until i couldnt take another bite.”
“oh. you are supposed to eat small amounts throughout the day.”
“being a mortal is very complicated…”
Okay. Who invited the landsharks? I know they throw wild parties, but it never ends well. Does no one remember what happened to the elk people?
Not to mention those poor tofutti-beasts…
Or the schools of Landfish.
Don’t get me started on those Jive Turkeys(tm)…
The tasty Turduckens never stood a chance.
That last panel is fantastic.
This is no time to celebrate!
I really, really need to finish that game someday.
And Earthbound. *sigh*
That’s not penk on the left?
What I don’t get Is Hurricane Software is capable of this gee whiz ground breaking 256 bit Arkerra video game and the new game, the latest, Cyberia looks 32 bit max
Retro Tron look?
We’re capable of making games that look like reasonable facsimiles of real life – or better – yet sometimes we still *choose* to make something look like Shovel Knight. Maximum graphical fidelity is not always the main concern, or even desired. Sometimes you want a street-by-street photo-realistic reconstruction of LA, sometimes you want 16-bit mushroom-infested kingdoms, and sometimes you want 1982’s Tron.
Also, my impression from HR’s description of Cyberia was that they were basically “mailing it in” on that game.
Got through my GA binge in two weeks. No water… Even less food.
Didn’t help reading the last ark while listening to Ennio Morricone’s “The Thing” soundtrack.
As for your suspicions…
…I’ll show you what I already now.
*know
There goes the pathos.
Hmm… Looks like my image link broke up. *puts on heavy coat and goes outside into snowstorm*
…goddamn computers…
http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x146/tojiroh/Best%20WAV%20Comparison.jpg
Ooh, nice comparison!
John was kinda asking for it. :-)
Thank you, I aim to please.
*lights flamethrower*
Indeed, he was – I still didn’t catch it but thanks to you!
Well spotted!
Wow! That comparison absolutely confirms one of two things. Either WAV is indeed none other than the reincarnation of Payet Best, or Mr. Waltrip is a merciless troll. ;)
Now I wanna go back and compare all the images of Best with all the images of WAV. Too bad I’m too lazy to do that.
I think that last panel would make an amazing poster. 10/10 would hang in my room.
