“Kitten in a ball of yarn complicated”, or “Killed someone and taunted her friends on-camera with my face in full view” complicated?
Enough about his sex life.
Magical corporatist boss creating, then infiltrating, a make believe world where 5 other real people are in total immersion and deal with magic, trolls, talking doggies, and lava golems? Hey – I can buy all that.
A parking lot where everyone is properly parked in between the lines? GIVE ME A BREAK!
If it helps, the van by that very first word balloon parked a bit too far forward, forcing the car opposite to park on the rear line of their own parking space.
*Breathes sigh of relief*
Technically, H.R. opened a door to no less than two alternate dimensions, enabled people to take partial control over their alternate universe selves, and due to a misinterpretation of Plato’s the Cave and a heretofore incipient case of malignant narcissism, now believes he’s God. It’s like if Cortez believed he created the Aztecs because he found their civilization.
Maybe he did create the actual world of Arkerra? He is using magic afterall.
Maybe the game was just a blueprint for the world. And he found a way to treat the thousands of players out there as mana generating worshippers. The software could act a guide for all that mana and the output was a new world.
It is possible, but that is not a read that the text supports at the moment. The references to Plato’s world of Forms and Ideas coupled with prior musings by HR that Arkerra was not so much created as it was the archetypical form waiting to be released beneath the marble suggests that Arkerra is not HR’s creation as such.
That and the fact that characters in the game appear to be fully sapient beings.
Wait, so Cortez didn’t create the Aztecs? Man…there goes that awesome AU storyline.
Ah but there is the give away! In reality they are ALSO in a game thinking they are in real life with a Magical corporatist boss creating, then infiltrating, a make believe world where 5 other real people are in total immersion and deal with magic, trolls, talking doggies, and lava golems. Its the Russian Dolls of total immersion gaming. The question is though……..will you take the red pill or the blue pill?
Complicated bodes well for the good guys.
Not necessarily. It just means JJ is that much more determined, and willing to go that much further, to get the job done. I get the sense that he is a ‘get the job done’ kinda guy.
I get where you are coming from… But my thought is that he’s the kind of guy that really doesn’t seem to have too much “kick-back” in the jobs he’s undertaken just based on the hubris he operates with. The fact that a band of “easy marks” has made things “complicated” for him tells me that he is bound to make a huge mistake. He’s so used to easy treading, that this job will be his undoing. Just a hunch.
“What sort of complications are we talking about?”
“Foreshortening, ma’am. It’s hiding the full splendor of my facial hair.”
He can rest easy. It still looks pretty splendid from this angle.
Better safe than sorry, better safe than sorry…
Has it been an hour? I must be immune!
Better safe than sorry, better safe than sorry…
Is that from L4D’s Dead Toll?
Sounds like it to me.
*Rings church bell*
Horde time!
It’s actually the “Death Toll” campaign. And the voice actor for the Church Guy also can be heard as the Scout in Team Fortress 2.
Dammit JJ, she hired you specifically so she didn’t have to worry about “complications.”
Welcome to Panel 6, for another thrilling episode of Regretting My Life Decisions!
Hah your avatar is perfect
Did the site layout change this month? I found a way of viewing the alt text on a mobile browser by tapping a certain area on the screen (previously, top left corner of the white space under the title, then bottom left corner under the ad, right above the brown line…).
But recently, the box harboring the ads has extended downwards covering the brown line and the area that i tap for alt text.
Is there anyway we can remedy that?
That being the top brown bar, that has the buttons under the comic…
If you’re using an apple product, then I think you may be in luck. I had found a way around this problem the other day thanks to a nifty script someone suggested here:
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20100404045906105
I hope this helps!
(assuming we can in fact post links here)
I may have forgotten to add some instructions on how to do this, as the instructions in that link weren’t completely helpful to me. Basically, the first post in that link there suggests a java script. On my mobile I couldn’t see the whole JavaScript, but to copy it you need to highlight the first word in the box holding the script. You can force highlight the whole string of script by pulling down and releasing on the little highlight extenders on either side of the highlighted word. Once the whole JavaScript is highlighted, “copy” it to your clipboard. Then make a new bookmark (any bookmark will do). Now edit that new boomark’s url, and replace it with your copied script. Save the bookmark that way. Now if you did that right, any time you want to read alt text just tap that boomark, then tap the picture who’s text you want to read. It’ll pop up a window with the alt text inside. Obviously this isn’t the best fix, but it certainly works for me. I hope this made sense, and helps anyone out there having trouble with the alt text.
Unfortunately, I’m on an Android.
I don’t think this’ll work for it?
But like i said, i can view it by tapping an area on the screen, but that area is currently hidden.
Thanks for sharing, though.
:)
In the first panel there is an error in the painting on the parking lot. The arrow on the right is pointing the wrong way.
Yeah, I know, picky picky.
I thought that at first, too, but there’s a dashed line to the right of that arrow, so I think that’s some kind of crazy two-way angular parking lot.
Even if that’s the case, the arrow’s pointing the wrong way (unless their world is weird and/or they aren’t in the US, hah). American traffic would be going down in that lane, not up.
Well… shoot.
I’m sure you all can tell the background for panel one is obviously from a photo I used as reference. It has also been reversed, which will explain why the arrows appear to be going in the wrong direction. I was going to erase those arrows, but then forgot.
Just gonna assume alt text actually belongs to Xan and not JJ.
I didn’t, but I do now.
“It’s not paranoia if they’re really after you” “Yeah but what about up to now? They weren’t after you before this” “Dangit Chrissie, quit bringing up logic”
Congratulations on 50 Patrons! At this moment it’s only 194$ per month – here’s to hoping it will become a lot more!
At least five contiguous sunrooved cars? Improbable!
“Gee, thanks for calling me on my work phone. You know, the one that is being monitored for solicitors and death threats? This is an association I definitely wanted to have discovered.”
Somehow this guy does NOT belong to the sepia world. This guy belongs to Gastonia.
Did noone notice how they are in a parking lot and how Moustache Man is in a stationary car?
I might just be missing it, but how can you tell the car is stationary? o.o
He’s having a phone call.
Being an assassin doesn’t mean you can phone while driving.
Mario cart NEVER stays still.
