I reckon if that thing’s reactor blows it would be comparable to a thermonuclear bomb explosion. Can’t be war without any participants.
Winter Elves: Yes, excellent.
If only Micholuszek continued to phrase everything in a what’s for the best for Taro context he wouldn’t be ordering him to open the door. Or maybe that’s what he wants Taro to do.
If he gets out, it’s his chance to abandon Taro. He’s probably worried about Bandit shanking him but now he sees he’s in (likely more) danger inside. He and Franzington already saw Bandit, Sundar, and Rendar sneaking up to the tank and didn’t tell Taro. If he wants to escape, getting out and yelling to Bandit not to attack him as soon as the doorway blocks pistol LOS would be his plan.
I suspect a cunning use of reverse psychology (“PLEASE don’t throw me in the briar patch!”). Either that or he’s just too obtuse to see that this is his chance to make a break for it.
You’ll know repairs are complete when that unsightly growth between his shoulders is gone. Pay no mind to that red tinted oil spewing everywhere, that’s natural.
She’s a marvel indeed if she can cling to the side of that thing during an explosion powerful enough to shake up the people inside like they’re on the bridge of a star trek vessel that’s taken phaser fire.
… And I take it this is confirmation you don’t actually have to have the arms to fire.
Oh good, I’m not the only one…doesn’t help my internet was down most of yesterday and today it’s stinking like last weeks fish. (gee thanks charter your internet sucks more than your customer service) glitchy, twitchy, noise in the line internet. Makes for unhappy people and you don’t get to be an auld adventurer by being stupid.
Tried Microsoft Edge. Same black box, but also an annoying loud video ad started playing about type 2 diabetes. Curiously, all the other comics in the archive load correctly. It’s this one that’s messed up.
Yeah, as awesome as the comic is, that alt-text was even better. I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry at how good it is… laugh because it’s funny, cry because it’s so close to true.
This is EXACTLY the current situation at where I work right now.
“This software is a total piece of shit, the vendor and users haven’t even finished configuring it, we haven’t tested many functions, even if it was ready we can’t get enough users together do a proper test, we don’t think it does many of the things that our users expect of it, and we need at LEAST 6 more months to beat this piece of shit into shape where it MIGHT work!”
“We’re going live in a month. No excuses.”
Guns.
Great invention, guns.
Big guns for playing with your enemies, small guns for intimidating your friends.
…
I wonder how the boy-king will escape this time.
So… Bandit versus Taro, soon as they crack open the door? Good times, good times.

Little did we know, that “winter elves” was short for “nuclear winter elves” ;-)
The canon never works properly in this story!
I missed that typo. Very observant of you!
Heh! It seems that typo has become canon for the story now.
:D
It’s kind of a loose canon
That leaves mortar follow up on later.
Now they need to call on the maintenance crew for repairs! Blast the luck!

Yeah, I half expect Mich & Franz to run off & go hide somewhere as soon as they clear the doors. Probably hoping that the adventurers dispatch Taro.

He can’t shoot you if you leave the tank, Mic.
Exactly, he’s telling you to get out, do it! The repair part is optional.
The time has come to fix Taro’s wagon…with a wrench.

Maybe she held on to something with a better grip and afterwards moved to the place beneath the window.
Should be “cannon”, with two letter N’s.
Arms and the Ma’am
Now run as far as you freaking can as soon as that door opens.
How come all I’m seeing is a black box?

No idea, but I’m seeing it as well. An empty box with the lightly textured page background showing through. :(
It’s a plot hole.
Same here. Someone’s fucked up badly. Chrome / Windows 10.
Tried Microsoft Edge. Same black box, but also an annoying loud video ad started playing about type 2 diabetes. Curiously, all the other comics in the archive load correctly. It’s this one that’s messed up.
Oh I thought it was because I was on mobile or something, I’ll check a couple browsers when I get home from work and see if its fixed by then.
I don’t know if it’s chrome specifically; using chrome, and I was able to read the comic earlier this morning.
And immediately after I post that comment, the comic appears again! Weird!
I can’t see the page either. Maybe a problem with the links?
As an IT person, the alt text is fairly accurate.
Yeah, as awesome as the comic is, that alt-text was even better. I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry at how good it is… laugh because it’s funny, cry because it’s so close to true.

“We’re going live in a month. No excuses.”
Nah, there’s only one person screaming at them.
Was that a puberty voice crack? Are his balls dropping, or is he just dropping the ball?
“I’ve lost the connection! The weapon’s useless to me now!”
Banjo will never find me here!
I’m just trying to figure out how that pistol works… A bare charge of mercury fulminate in a massively oversized pan maybe?
Guns.

This is the part where Taro turns into Gabe from Penny Arcade, stupidity and all.
