Why do these two have to be the most adorable couple in the world? ^_____^ <3 <3 <3 (ok I'm done. sorry)
I think the real sin here are those drawers he’s wearing.
Those are not his drawers, that is the default male nude model #2.
Gold Star.
Assuming I have the authority to grant those…
Nah, Fr’ is completely nekkid so unless we see Scipio’s ass that’s not a nude model. Not that I’m complaining about seing Fr’s , um, stump?
Pretty sure bush still works here.
They installed a Nude Patch
I don’t give Gold Stars to anyone who asks for them, or to posts where others request that I do so.
So in short: Nope.
I nominate this post for a gold star. :)
Well, I would like to make it clear that I absolutely DO NOT want a gold star. *Jedi mind trick*
So you’re saying that we can stop others getting gold stars by requesting that they get them? =3
Wow, the comments almost have as many story elements as the comic sometimes!

I am going through the archives and am actually feel the same about going forward to the next comment sections to see if this started being done as I would be about seeing what the villains in the story will do next. So much content and I don’t even have that plus thingie!
That’s how it’s really done
Weird, this sounds exactly like the protagonist hearing their party member’s backstory and hearing “ask me about it later, after we hit the next story arc, to hear the next part.”
I’m looking at you, Bioware.
[Influence: Failure] Thanks.
God, I wish that they had fixed the sequel themselves, then made another one.
[Influence Gained] You’re right. They are making other games at the moment. So we’ll see some more Obsidian goodness eventually. Plus there are restoration projects for KotoR 2
A dark and troubled past is revealed! Soon a quest of epic proportions shall begin, and the destinies of all will entwine to forge a bright star of hope for the future! What songs shall be made, what pacts broken, what-
*Frigg beats a metric shit ton out of the people giving her totally not crush said dark and troubled past*
Oooor we just set the crazy chick on them and it’ll be over in a minute.
The reason I love this comic is that from the first pen-stroke the characters step forward as people, so when they are in deep, deep shit, you give a damn. Good story-telling. Respect.
Check out the parables on this guy!
COPYPASTA!
Also, it’s just so nice to see characters like this, and totally forget that they are supposed to be two NPCs… Imagine all the power in the computer making this… creating backstories like this…
I thought some of those panels looked strange. Thick lines and… visible pixels? Could this be because M-F updates necessitates shortcuts?
A bit, yes. At least in the short term, until we have a massive buffer going.
Yeah… if I had observed this kind of thing over the course of many pages, I would have said that the new update schedule failed. But it is, of course, too soon to judge yet. It is a big leap the team are taking, but I am frankly more than a tinge disappointed with these apparent dips in quality.
i didnt notice until you said something about the resolution. even now, i really dont mind; they ARE facing a plausible 40% increase in bandwidth costs. maybe (significantly) more… i know absolutely nothing about accounting for bandwidth.
still, i feel compelled to suggest that if you (thats you generally) like the change from 3 to 5 days, then perhaps you (again, not you specifically) should just read the comics and have a coke and a smile and stfu.
three up to five is a 2/3 increase in volume, which is 66.666(etc)% :)
yep. mb.
i personally wasnt going to say anything on the resolution, but since the topic’s been broached, my two cents..
i am, as a rule, happier to see things done well than i am to see things done quickly. to be honest, if it took a two-week break to get the buffer to a point that the artists felt comfortable smoothing lines that shatter the immersion of the awesome story they’re telling, i’d be okay with that. i’d also be okay seeing a return to the 3-a-week schedule. while i understand and appreciate that this is done with no charge to me, i also, as an avid reader, feel that it is at least tangentially within my scope to comment on such matters.
please dont take this as a “>=O I CANT BELEVE DAT COMIK IS S0 BAD NOW, GAWD”, because it’s not. but i eagerly await the return of the visual quality that helped push GA to the top of my bookmarks, however long that may take.
A scraggedly line breaks your “immersion” in this story?
fwiw, we’ve had copy-pasta in GA before.
Personally, as an artist who occasionally draws comics, I find that there are times where your art really doesn’t need to say something new, and you may as well save time by copy-pasting. Remember a copy-paste means that all the time that would have been spent making that panel awesome can be spent making the other panels more awesome.
No, a scraggedly drawn line does not break my immersion entirely, but cracks it a little bit. I love GA and the team have very good reputation in my mind; so this conversation will probably be forgotten in a month when we’re all happily enjoying high quality, even-more-regular GA. But for now, I look at these little bugs and I feel irritated. And as a reader, paying or not, I have the right to feel that way. I hold GA dear, and I didn’t think I was being unreasonable or trollish, so I mention how I feel in the comments, along with some other readers.
It’s fine if the dip in quality does not affect you, or if you do not percieve it as such. But it affects me, a little at least.
If a scraggedly drawn like does break it for me entirely and I expressed disappointment over it? Then it wouldn’t make me unreasonable, especially as GA has never disappointed me so far. Readers who feel a bit taken aback by these glitches/changes and voice it are just doing what readers do.
hmmm. Yes, complaining about slightly degraded image quality in a comic with an awesome storyline and fantastic characters THAT YOU GET FOR FREE is not unreasonable. Just entitled.
No one asked for it, but that’s my two cents.
It’s not entitled. People like to express opinions on stuff regardless of what it cost them, it’s just natural. We complain about shows on TV we don’t like (that are free), we complain about poor weather (you can bet that’s free). You’re even complaining about his post and if reading it wasn’t free (bandwidth?) then I’m a donkey’s uncle.
It’d be different if there was raging, rudeness or demands being made (you know, actual entitlement) but I’ve seen none of that.
Hmm. I suppose you have a point. But I think my post was rude. I apologize for my rudeness.
Of course! – but it’s equally non-unreasonable for me to have and express an opposed viewpoint, that’s all :)
I thought the pixels were intentional, honestly. It’s a game. Games have pixels. Having a little fourth wall come into play every now and again adds to the overarching story.
Plus the alt-jokes can now include Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff references.
I WARNED YOU ABOUT PROTECTION BRO!!!
I TOLD YOU DOG!
Now you have potato blight and it’s all your fault.
Potato blight? Ew. But funny!
We don’t know if he’s supposed to be an NPC or an actual player, do we?
No Jimmy, you are the robots.
Scipio must be very upset because it seems as if he didn’t even take his cigar.
I still think yesterday’s strip held the true answer he’s withholding from her.
He fought, and inflicted harm on others, for fame, riches, and the acclamation of others… and it left him empty on the inside.
Hence his current path. Panel 4 (yesterday) showed his nature, this is a man who *enjoys* a good fight; he’s Byron, *without* the rage fueling him.
The decor of their room makes me wonder if there’s a town like Pornshire on the game. Those of you who’ve played on Moonguard know what I’m talkin’ about… / sigh
A fellow Moonguardian, eh? It’s disappointing that Pornshire is what the server is famous for, and not the large(r than generally seen) population of good RPers.
Since they did the whole server share thingie, I’ve had some excellent RP with Moonguardians. Since I’m massively shy and it’s hard for me to RP, that’s saying quite a lot. :)
(I’m on Cenarion Circle; it’s not terrible, unless, for some reason, you wander by the blacksmith’s on the wrong day)
One of the best damn tanks I’ve ever barely kept up with in a heroic 5-man was from Moon Guard.
Woa, I already liked Scip’s coolness and minimalism a lot, but over the past few pages he’s become an even awesomer character to me.
This is all a mistake. Scip should have never opened up and made himself vulnerable. This will all end in tears.
Skip’s expression in panels 4 and 5: that’s genuine affection. The way we are learning about these new characters suggests they are played by real humans.
Scip being played by a 45-yo fat bald ex-CEO, and Fr’Nj being played by a 45-yo fat FBI agent.
cannot.. unsee… last three updates.. agh
speaking of which, nice gravatar..
Thanks. I like it: A Big O with every comment. For a little while, at least – then we’ll be back to the old muppet hecklers soon enough.
Sure, he could of stayed in the pit. Could of even been king. But in his own way, he is king.
I wonder if there’s such a thing as a Low Druid? Or maybe a Middle Druid?
Nah, “high druid” doesn’t mean anything to do with status, it’s referring to the drugs.
Like.
Well, Scipio just proved there’s such a thing as a horizontal druid, at the very least.
Not to mention the horny druid wearing the ceremonial stag horns.
…See. This is why I agree that this is a universe – there might be players in one universe who correlate with those in the other. But. The back stories. The relationships. These are not people who just sat in front of a computer one day and started playing a character.
Fun-fact, one of the reasons why Frigg and Scipio are such great fighters, is because redheads have unnaturally high pain-tolerance.
