But if the five ever delve into Cyberia, maybe he won’t be the last warrior from there. They might even be interesting in weird new ways, given that they’d be made just for being Cyberians rather than for a player who probably trying to make sure he got to become an elf again.
“Now I’m naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show?
And what do you want? I want to change
And what have you got?
When you feel the same
Even though I know–I suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold-like old job”
Despite all his rage, it’s still just Payet on this page.
The key part of the dialogue here is that Best sees WAV, who unlike him actually acted genuinely and empathetically to others, as a ‘milquetoast joke’. This makes it official: Payet Best is truly a disgusting pile of shit right to his very core.
@Danzin
Quite so, aye.
But well, when Byron made his first berserk rage, Payet Best calmed him down,
and Payet seemed genuinely caring and worried by Byron’s state.
Penk wants to parley with the Peacemakers out of respect for their previous aid, but Best isn’t considered one of them. Maybe he’ll let Gobularence lob a grenade at him if he can get a clear shot.
Genuine hero? Variation of Guy Gardner?? No, sorry but this is false. Gardner and similar ‘ill-tempered heart of gold’ heroes would NOT have chucked those children from an airship, would NOT have toppled a sacred basin in an infantile tantrum, and would NOT blame the only person who tried to save them for their fate of not being saved. Best is no hero, he’s an arrogant selfish manchild who wants to play hero for glory and status.
Interesting. When Payet describes being made “a servant…[thinking] nothing of myself” is he saying that indeed his will was forcibly subjugated by the WAV form (no pun indented, for once) and he was forced toward other goals?
Or, rather, is he saying that being transformed into a nice, normal, fairly considerate person is to him intolerable suffering because it prevents him from being the self-absorbed a-hole he truly is?
Maybe both are true…
He was a shit elf before he gained notoriety for his heroic deeds. Perhaps he resents being forced back into a meek obedient servant since that’s what he was. That’s understandable, but he doesn’t have to be so egotistical.
True. A few snow flakes would hardly stop the right brain functioning of such a ponderous, artistic, melancholic, lugubrious heavy metal head. A minstrel’s lot is not a happy one.
So.. Best achieved his destiny as a great hero. And now he’s totally screwed it up by remembering? Give the bard a hand everyone. Not you Byron… your hand seems to speed things along to their final conclusions.
They look the same to me. Anyway, if I remember correctly, shit-elves are just elves who’ve lost their magic. I don’t think their physical appearance changes. Half-elves, on the other hand, have shorter ears.
Just gonna leave this here:
Ah, but who started the avalanche?
We didn’t.
It was always slidin’ since the Elves been hidin’
Ironically, this is the #best
+1, serious rhymamancy right there!
We didn’t dislodge it, but we tried to dodge it?
Came back to check on my little comment. Was not disappointed :3
Which just goes to show; it’s not the size of the comment that counts, it’s what you do with it.
;)
You really need some butter, cinnamon, and sugar to make that milquetoast any good.
He can do without all the salt.
It’s just not that easy, being green. That salt is pink Him-a-layan it all out there.
Darn, this means WAV truly is gone now. :(
Not only that but to add salt to our wounds he’s been replaced with *sigh* Payet fucking Best -__-
I will have you know. best is best asshole. xD
But even the best asshole is still an asshole.
@Rezby: Pretty ironic considering the gravatar.
But if the five ever delve into Cyberia, maybe he won’t be the last warrior from there. They might even be interesting in weird new ways, given that they’d be made just for being Cyberians rather than for a player who probably trying to make sure he got to become an elf again.
*who was probably
Lets not turn this into Sword Art Online, please.
Can the rest of the comic just be Byron punching Best in the face?
I need the option to upvote
A gif would be even better.
Internet? MAKE IT SO!
Cheers,
Cote
Oh the irony.
Oh the Byrony.
I love it when gravatars and comments line up! If only I knew how to get mine back…
Must say, Best definitely know how to keep himself warm with all that rage.
“Now I’m naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show?
And what do you want? I want to change
And what have you got?
When you feel the same

Despite all his rage, it’s still just Payet on this page.
He’s not a morning person.
Tell me I’m the only one
Tell me there’s no other one
Payet was an only son
Tell me I’m the chosen one
Payet wasn’t loved by mom
“Also, everyone liked WAV better than you, anyway!”
WAV was the Best!
WAV was better than Best! He was… Bester? Bestest? Hyper-Best?
Turbo Best? Cyber-Beast?
Since he’s changed back from being Wav, he’s more like the Best Beast.
*Flashing back to Fightopia*
The key part of the dialogue here is that Best sees WAV, who unlike him actually acted genuinely and empathetically to others, as a ‘milquetoast joke’. This makes it official: Payet Best is truly a disgusting pile of shit right to his very core.
Yeah, I was expecting Byron to retort with “So it’s my fault you were actually heroic for once?”
“I BECAME A WAY BETTER PERSON WHO WAS NOT INCIDENTALLY A LOT MORE USEFUL IN A FIGHT AND IT’S ALL. YOUR. FAULT.”
I want to upvote/like this comment. :D
Oh, this makes sense.
And his concept of something Byron should recognize as an unspeakable cruelty to him…is that he now has memories of not being a selfish egomaniac.
Urgh. May his next death be significantly more permanent.
If HR has his way it will be.
Ah lovely. A choice between one selfish, ruthless egomaniac and another selfish, ruthless egomaniac.
Hopefully Best and H.R. will wind up stuck somewhere alone together for a very long time.
When you’re the best, you can’t afford to think about others. You may realize they’re better.
@Danzin
Quite so, aye.
But well, when Byron made his first berserk rage, Payet Best calmed him down,
and Payet seemed genuinely caring and worried by Byron’s state.
Yeah, it was unlocking his core memory that turned him back into a dipwad…
Aaaah, haha… Yesss… Welcome home, Best. Must say, I am quite happy.
Hit him again Byron.
Kick him once or twice, too, come to think.
Penk wants to parley with the Peacemakers out of respect for their previous aid, but Best isn’t considered one of them. Maybe he’ll let Gobularence lob a grenade at him if he can get a clear shot.
Talking is indeed a free action.
Yeah Byron, Tell him the truth.
..oh and should you -tottally by accident of course- kill him in the Process….nobody would blame you.
I killed Payet Best.
But, I swear, it was in self-defence.
:-)
That could be what Byron’s first line when in court.
Hands up all who think Best will actually listen to Byron’s words?
_(ツ)__
_(ツ)__
/up hand
Best is an ass, not an idiot. And even under the assyness, he’s still a genuine hero. He’s like Arkerras more bootylicious Guy Gardner.
now i can’t NOT see Best as Guy Gardner XD
Genuine hero? Variation of Guy Gardner?? No, sorry but this is false. Gardner and similar ‘ill-tempered heart of gold’ heroes would NOT have chucked those children from an airship, would NOT have toppled a sacred basin in an infantile tantrum, and would NOT blame the only person who tried to save them for their fate of not being saved. Best is no hero, he’s an arrogant selfish manchild who wants to play hero for glory and status.
+1 to you, Danzin matey. :-)
I’m glad best is back. he’s gotta be my favourite asshole that isn’t frigg
This is super appropriate for your new gravitar.
Interesting. When Payet describes being made “a servant…[thinking] nothing of myself” is he saying that indeed his will was forcibly subjugated by the WAV form (no pun indented, for once) and he was forced toward other goals?
Or, rather, is he saying that being transformed into a nice, normal, fairly considerate person is to him intolerable suffering because it prevents him from being the self-absorbed a-hole he truly is?
Maybe both are true…
Yes!
He was a shit elf before he gained notoriety for his heroic deeds. Perhaps he resents being forced back into a meek obedient servant since that’s what he was. That’s understandable, but he doesn’t have to be so egotistical.
Nobody could possibly carry this conversation while fight WHILE falling down an avalanche.
Potentially mindblowing dialogue is always a free action.
Byron’s mind has been blown at least twice now, but he’s turned out okay…So far. Best has probably the worst excuse for still being a jackwipe.
Best is a bard. Not even an avalanche can shut up a bard.
Damn straight.
True. A few snow flakes would hardly stop the right brain functioning of such a ponderous, artistic, melancholic, lugubrious heavy metal head. A minstrel’s lot is not a happy one.
while fighting*
……*ahem*…..only one possible outcome here.
“NOW KISS!!”
Well, they’re finally having a meaningful conversation… while grasping each other’s throats, yes, but at least they’re talking.
Yeah but Byron was dead FOR REALSIES so you can’t complain!
Not just dead for real, but dead for real *twice*.
YOU KEEL ME?!?! I KEEEL YOU!
Payet: I KILL YOU!
Byron: *sigh* Again?
People like Best *always* blame others for their problems. THEY couldn’t possibly be at fault, for anything.
Indeed, Eric.
That is what makes it so satisfying to se them getting their living daylights punched out of their faces.
Could someone please send in another portal to Cyberia?
Ooh, HR is too busy using it right now. Maybe they could stalk the portal depots rental returns office?
So.. Best achieved his destiny as a great hero. And now he’s totally screwed it up by remembering? Give the bard a hand everyone. Not you Byron… your hand seems to speed things along to their final conclusions.
I can’t help but think that the future encounter with the Savage Heroes is going to be spoiled by Best’s Bestness.
Is it my imagination or does Best appear to have retain full-elf ears—versus the shorter shit-elf ears?
They look the same to me. Anyway, if I remember correctly, shit-elves are just elves who’ve lost their magic. I don’t think their physical appearance changes. Half-elves, on the other hand, have shorter ears.
