Waaaay back in the 80’s, I found a copy of the soundtrack for “Transformers: The Movie” in a “USED” record bin of a music shop near my grandmother’s house.
Stamped in gold on the album cover, “For Promotional Use Only. Ownership Reserved By CBS.”
And a number. 0000
Asking price? Fifty Cents.
That would be Mister Bedard, and now that I think about it, I’m surprised that there hasn’t been any clear indication that he’s either manipulating the other Heads or being manipulated by them.
ah he just does it behind curtains very soon he will be Chancellor and then emporer after they won the War he started by controling harky which he will soon dispose off to take a nerdy kid traumatized by the death of his mother as a new aprentice jhears later the kid of the kid will overtrow bedards empire
Wouldn’t doubt if manipulation does exist one way or the other. Goes hand in hand with politics. But in this case, manipulation isn’t necessary. As a member of the House, he’d have a vested interest in not ratting the others out every time they spoke.
I love being an out of touch autocrat, problems just don’t exist anywhere and I can never be removed from power. (Until the mobs kicking in my door and haul me off to the guillotine.) Why worry about things that can’t possibly happen, becasue I’m “powerful” and “wealthy”.
Byron, Byron, busting through doors/walls and being covered in red stuff just aren’t enough to be the Kool-Aid Man. You’re going to have to step up your game, maybe find something more compelling than “ARRRRGHBLARGL!” to shout.
1. Since the schedule’s gone from MTWThFS to MWF, I’ve noticed John has the time to put in extra intricacies, such as the awesome shading on Syr’J’s face in the last panel.
2. After chopping through two thick wooden doors, Byron’s blades will match his current intellect: dull.
3. Scip, E-Merl, Bragg: What the s*%! is that? Bandit: Oh Cog, I remember this s*%!!!
I really wonder how the gaming management will try to explain this “new development” with gamers losing their high leveled characters to the “rage/madness” and being unable to control/play their characters they have spend ages on to develop to this point. I mean at some point either the gamers have to realize that this is no game or the NPCs have to realize that their world is a computergame.
Ladies and gentlemen of the press, thank you for coming. These recent problems of lost player characters in our flagship game was caused by Al Qaida hackers. Yes, you heard me right. The terrorists are after our (virtual) children. If you don’t renew your subscription and continue to play like nothing happened, you let the terrorists win.
To help the community in this difficult situation, we’re offering a 5% discount this month on year-long subscription plans, and new players who sign up this week only will get a limited-offer vanity pet of a “Stabby the Cute-Widdle Cultist”.
You’re joking right? They are still controlled by players.
Offer a +50% damage, accuracy and critical hit bonus as long as you only PvP and players will be queuing up to ‘join the host’.
“this is the Gaming Company -There is a Event(bug) in game if you wish not to a Byron Berzerker pay $9900 for Syr`j`s Cure.Oh the $99.00 getts you 1 time stop Buy as many as you think you will need! ths The Company”
He’s making too much progress for that. He’d still be back in there woods, missing a one axe, a shoe, and a sock (but not the shoe) from the other foot.
I would play the absolute hell out of a guilded age video game. Not, like, the MMO it’s set in, but a sort of JRPG or sidescrolling fighter, that’d be awesome. Maybe something like Banner Saga.
Don’t forget folks. By all indications, Byron is currently dead and simply being used as a meat-puppet by some kind of spirit. And it doesn’t look like curing the possession will fix him being dead. So the only question at this point is how many other main characters he’s going to slaughter before they manage to bring him down.
Ain’t no party like a Byron party.
His funky fresh beats are so charged they blow the doors off their hinges.
Also death.
After all is maimed and done
You’ve never walked, you’ve never run,
You’re a berzerker!
You got the touch
You got the rage.

Best after-school special soundtrack. EVER.
Would love to see Byron murder everyone with that song playing in the background. Would be one of those cutesy-creepy things.
If the House of Houses had to deal with mss media, that “glad to be out of touch) line would get them in a huge kerfluffle. XD
Isn’t one of the members of the House of Houses the leader of Gastonia’s newsprint business? Or am I misremembering the existence of such a thing?

Come on man, I know some people said you couldn’t hack it, but there’s no need to fly into a rage.
That pun didn’t cut it. We have high standards, almost like a gated community. Try harder, but don’t forts it.
Somebody always shows up to close the door on pun chains eventually! Seri-slicely, I can only ever hope to get in on them before they get cut short.
Yeah, just axe SotiCoto.
well personally i think he’s smashing it.
I think he proved he’s got the chops.

2. But that would be anticlimactic!
Two axes combined with berzerker strength are going to make serious damage, dull blades or not.
Heeeeeeeeeeeere’s Byron!

Oh, hi Syr’nj! We haven’t seen you in the main comic all year. Welcome back.
Yeah, holy shit, I just checked, and the last time she was in the comic proper (not counting Ask an Adventurer and such) was September 24.
Depending on how this all goes, that link may well lead to Syr and Byron’s last conversation.
“Twitch plays Byron.”
He’s making too much progress for that. He’d still be back in there woods, missing a one axe, a shoe, and a sock (but not the shoe) from the other foot.
I would play the absolute hell out of a guilded age video game. Not, like, the MMO it’s set in, but a sort of JRPG or sidescrolling fighter, that’d be awesome. Maybe something like Banner Saga.
Is that supposed to be Bayen and Brayen behind Byron?
No, these are the former gate guards. They seem to have been infected, too.
Why is Syr watching FOX news?
It’s actually CSPAN. Somebody put some truth serum in the water supply.
Congress finally got hit with Truth serum?! Crap I better move to Canada before the riots start…
You know shit is fucked if SCIPIO is making a shocked face.
Hey E-Merl! Good time for a pit spell. just sayin’
YAAAY! Byron is here!!!
….
Oh, wait-a-minute…
Byron, Bryon, burning bright,
In the fortress, mad delight.
Neither Cultists hands nor I,
Can tame thy fearful enmity.
Eli…

Uh, Commander? May i be axecused from this engagement?
