Real Science Adventures

Spin off stories and other adventures from the world of Atomic Robo!
HUh, they get their bodies back and their armor and such magically reappears after they’ve been rezzed. I don’t know if I should be surprised by that or not .
Well, we have been getting hints that they each are associated with signature items which are somthing “more” than ordinary, both in sepia IRL world and in Arkerra. Apparently they are attached to/part of the characters in some… (Arcanometric?) way.
Wow, did the coleslaw comment get cut? I wasn’t aware that could happen. Either Phil and/or T. have personal experiences with cannibalism and really hate jokes pertaining to it, or there is a deep anti-potato salad bias I never knew about. In which case, I can understand the former, but the latter… I will not stand for the latter. I prefer potato salad to coleslaw, and all must know this.
It’s just an internet meme that she’s done at least twice in continuity at this point. First time was when fighting the big guy in the cave leading to the pirate airship.
Respect to the “savage races” that they buried them with all their stuff, hell even that they buried them at all. Then again, would you eat a chicken “filled with the madness”?
Thanks to the advent of Gastonia’s industrial-level production, it is estimated that almost half of all savage races do not get their daily allowance of madness in their diets. A diet rich in Berserker meat could help you naturally regulate your viciousness and righteous indignation, without all the fat and cholesterol.
The revive spell actually gave them back all their stuff. If you notice, they absolutely were not buried with it all still. That’s why their armor and junk is glowing blue.
Like the elf and alt-text say. Totally worth it. I only wonder how it’s possible to *bonk* someone on the skull with that mace without instantly killing them (again).
Anf Frigg’s *ffffffffffffffffffff* expression is hilarious. It’s that Kill Bill siren moment.
LMFAO ok i litereally fell out of my chair laughing so hard at friggs reaction right after being rezzed LOL panels 6 and 7 are the best humor wise and friggs experssion in panel 5 Priceless
You know, despite the expansionism and racism of Gastonia, the Worlds Rebellion do not seem to be any better, if not worse.
Syr’Nj is my favourite charachter and has been since, “Please, I can always Do Science To It.”
…and I don’t think frig is trying to let byron live, I think she’s just suffering a bit of weakness from having been dead for a while, and thus failing to kill
I don’t like how depressed Gravedust is looking at the mention of Bandit in panel 5 there. I guess it could be because he just performed “sacrilege” and everything but I’m fearing a “I was able to secure the resurrection of you three but not her because her spirit is not a part of this big, fancy destiny we all apparently have or something”.
I’m curious. . . who in the party actually knows Syr’nj is royalty? Just Frigg? Or Frigg and Byron? Do we think Byron understood what Harki was saying before skewering him?
Bandit? Where the hell is that sneaky bitch!
-OR-
Bandit? Where did all the arrows go?
Since it’s not really clear whether they all really understand they were dead. Not yet, I mean. They haven’t said much that is pertinent to the question.
The obvious answer is that Bandit, being a gnome and due to the fact the symbol has four prongs is behind Gravedust (if she’s there at all).
Otherwise I fear it is fairly difficult to res a person who was nearly bisected sans needle and thread.
It seems Bandit’s part in this story has been…
/puts on sunglasses
Cut.
I hate this meme… but I really did call it about Frigg jumping on poor Byron like that.
Love how she literally ran over Syr’nj though… I’m with her… where the hell is Bandit?
I had a theory, by the by…. the “ressurrection” is the plugging in of the new players. That theory was a bit smashed to bits by the fact that Frigg had memories of Byron kicking her ass. Darnit.
Oh God. Phil, T., John? Are you guys okay? I’m… I’m worried. You’re NEVER late. I mean, I could care less about the comic, I know that will come eventually, but I’m just hoping that some madman hasn’t decided to hold you all for ransom.
Well, I’m glad to see that someone noticed that Bandit was missing!
Yes, her arms.
Looks like bandit stole away somewhere.
I suppose that’s the sort of… PUNishment he deserves.
*Confiscates your punning license.*
Using THAT pun has consequences.
Nah, she split earlier.
You’re a horrible person and I’m a horrible person for laughing.
Bandit? Oh, she’s over there. And there. And there.
Lol TFS quote nice lol too soon!
Is that a hint of a smile I spy on Gravedust / Tombdirt?
You need to turn your monitor back on itself, you shouldn’t be reading the comic upside down. :3
The monitor is properly oriented. Evidently my eyeballs are upside down.
TOMBDIRT LIVES!
Hooray for Mr. Sandmallet!
Who’s quote was that, the one on the 4th panel?
Bandit.
the Origins of this qoute Elude me, but it’s one of the most Famous “Courage Wolf” Quotes.
HUh, they get their bodies back and their armor and such magically reappears after they’ve been rezzed. I don’t know if I should be surprised by that or not .
Zeee Goggles, they do glowing!!!!
Zee Goggles. They do nothing.
Zee goggles do EVERYTHINK! You understand nothing!
Nah, it’s normal. They’ll just have to deal with repair bills.
Going by the usual dwarven stereotype it seems only logical that their resurrection would come with an embedded mend spell.
Well, he DID say “reform” so I guess he rezzed their items.
It’s so much nicer than having to corpse-run. Or worse, lose all your items due to corpse-looting.
Well, we have been getting hints that they each are associated with signature items which are somthing “more” than ordinary, both in sepia IRL world and in Arkerra. Apparently they are attached to/part of the characters in some… (Arcanometric?) way.
…OK, Best has a point.
> Byron: Berserk out again due to shock from revival and attack by Frigg, make all of Gravedust’s efforts pointless.
I would love that, if only to finally see those axes split Best into perfect butcher cuts… tender loin, shoulder, rump roast, ribs…
… I need a to take a cold shower, maybe a brain bath too.
…I’ll be in my bunk.
Calm down, Hannibal. :P
Wow, did the coleslaw comment get cut? I wasn’t aware that could happen. Either Phil and/or T. have personal experiences with cannibalism and really hate jokes pertaining to it, or there is a deep anti-potato salad bias I never knew about. In which case, I can understand the former, but the latter… I will not stand for the latter. I prefer potato salad to coleslaw, and all must know this.
MADDOG!!!MADOG!!!
LOVE this page! Really like Friggs look in the 4th panel!
Verily, Friende Frigg hath lost her shitte.
loved the Friggs “ffffffffffffffffffffff”
I keep thinking that that guest comic Angry Buddha did was eerily close to the mark, right down to the “Fffffffff!!!!!!!” ;-) Coincidence, or homage?
HE’S A WITCH!
It’s just an internet meme that she’s done at least twice in continuity at this point. First time was when fighting the big guy in the cave leading to the pirate airship.
Where Bandit? Miss Bandit!! WANT Bandit!!!
I’m guessing she made out like a Bandit?
I don’t know. Seems pretty worth it to me.
oh, frigg <3
All Frigg needs is a Guy Fawkes mask.
She’s doing a bang-up job already.
Byron already looks a little emaceiated.
I think it’s sweet, she’s just trying to cudgel up to Byron.
She’s being rather blunt about her feelings, though.
Nothing makes a man feel pain like a woman using mace on him.
Awww, Frigg’s just a big sap.
Bryon is going to have a hammering headache after this
So now Frigg has banged two of the guys in the group?
It woulda been a lot cooler had instead of freaking out and yelling “mad dog”, Frigg just says “Round two, ding”
Lets just hope we don’t hear “Fatality!”
What do you think Gravedust is there for?
Gravedust is not there. I thought we established numerous times that this is indeed Tombdirt, his dance-happy counterpart.
My apologies.
What do you think Tombdirt is there for?
Time to do the unspeakable and… answer a rhetorical question!
He’s there to revive ass and chew bubblegum… and no one has invented bubblegum.
You sure? The gnomes might have. You never know.
Could be there to revive bubblegum and chew ass… nonono that would be Cryptmud, Gravedust’s Hillbilly cousin.
Tombdirt is wondering why the heck Best isn’t holding his Axetar, grinding through levels of Arcanorock&Roll.
cuz it’s time to dwarfmother F’ing DANCE!
The huge out turn of Best’s feet is really starting to put me off him. He seems to be in the middle of a failed plie.
ah, yes. that’s become annoying (it’s not just Best). seems like a shortcut as clearly the artist is capable of more.
You shouldn’t make fun of his condition. He does the best he can.
At least they’re not Liefelding it.
Well, if you used leather pants the whole day, had to ride a bird, and dig a bunch of dead guys, you too would have a rash once or twice.
Respect to the “savage races” that they buried them with all their stuff, hell even that they buried them at all. Then again, would you eat a chicken “filled with the madness”?
Thanks to the advent of Gastonia’s industrial-level production, it is estimated that almost half of all savage races do not get their daily allowance of madness in their diets. A diet rich in Berserker meat could help you naturally regulate your viciousness and righteous indignation, without all the fat and cholesterol.
The revive spell actually gave them back all their stuff. If you notice, they absolutely were not buried with it all still. That’s why their armor and junk is glowing blue.
HELL YES I would eat a chicken filled with the madness
I would serve that to Guy Fieri and he would be all “Winner Winner Chicken DinARGHGARGARGLELGARAGLARGLFFFFFFF”
God, what a mental image. Guy Fieri, foaming at the mouth.
been watching food network then?
So… bandit.
Bandit! Bandit! Bandit! *starts pounding on table with a tankard*
Like the elf and alt-text say. Totally worth it. I only wonder how it’s possible to *bonk* someone on the skull with that mace without instantly killing them (again).
Anf Frigg’s *ffffffffffffffffffff* expression is hilarious. It’s that Kill Bill siren moment.
Oh that is too perfect. I propose the kill bill siren reading be adopted as canon.
…did Best always have man nipples or did I just not notice it before now?
I’m digging Best’s doucheface in the last panel.
Yeah ! The entire team – well, almost entire – is back on duty !!
HOOAH !!
They’re somewhat short of a full team… There’s just a little bit missing.
so after Gravedust raises Byron….again…
It’s good to know that at least Tombdirt has learnt his three Rs.
LMFAO ok i litereally fell out of my chair laughing so hard at friggs reaction right after being rezzed LOL panels 6 and 7 are the best humor wise and friggs experssion in panel 5 Priceless
Well worth it indeed. Can’t keep Frigg down, she doesn’t lose stride even just after a rez.
Hey, does this mean the party’s equipment is “soulbound”?
WIN.
Frigg, you’re my hero.
Hero… heroine… heroin?
Ohmygod Frigg I really missed you. It was SO worth the wait.
“MAD DOG! BAD DOG! SIT! ROLL OVER! BEG!”
Oh, she’d like that, wouldn’t she?
“STOP HUMPING MY LEG!”
Yeah! Ignore the leg, and aim a little higher.
“STOP HUMPING MY ARM!”
It’s all just armless fun…
Maybe he needs a hand.
Huh. Is Bandit Best’s alt? Have they ever been in the same place at once?
Yes, see last comic’s comments. They were seen in the tavern together.
Follow-up to Thom, they’ve been involved in even more tricky cooperation than that.
When I first thought to ask this question, I figured I’d go look through the archives for them. Turns out they’re both on the Chapter 1 cover. :P
You know, despite the expansionism and racism of Gastonia, the Worlds Rebellion do not seem to be any better, if not worse.
Syr’Nj is my favourite charachter and has been since, “Please, I can always Do Science To It.”
When in doubt, Frigg says to herself, W.H.U.D.
Why Hit Underpowered? Duh!
We Hits Unsane Dog?
Maybe now we’ll get some hot elf on Frigg action. yeeeeees…
NERF SHAMMIES. That’s way OP a rez.
ah, tis good to have everyone back
…and I don’t think frig is trying to let byron live, I think she’s just suffering a bit of weakness from having been dead for a while, and thus failing to kill
also, for once I agree with Best…
I feel dirty
Actually, then she fought him in the arena, she proclaimed she didn’t want to lose her friends and was going to have to knock him out.
Thank goodness for Res Sickness. Even Frigg has a hard time with 75% stat reduction.
I don’t like how depressed Gravedust is looking at the mention of Bandit in panel 5 there. I guess it could be because he just performed “sacrilege” and everything but I’m fearing a “I was able to secure the resurrection of you three but not her because her spirit is not a part of this big, fancy destiny we all apparently have or something”.
I’m curious. . . who in the party actually knows Syr’nj is royalty? Just Frigg? Or Frigg and Byron? Do we think Byron understood what Harki was saying before skewering him?
Remember back when Frigg said she wanted to fight Byron in berserker mode? She got her wish.
it seems the spirits have repaired Frigg’s armor. neat!
I thought that your armor broke for reviving. :C
No, no, we didn’t get to hear all of Syr’nj’s line because of Frigg’s interruption.
“… Bandit? Where — is my hat? Did you take it again?”
Free Hat!
Bandit? Where the hell is that sneaky bitch!
-OR-
Bandit? Where did all the arrows go?
Since it’s not really clear whether they all really understand they were dead. Not yet, I mean. They haven’t said much that is pertinent to the question.
The SMARM on Best’s face is nearly palpable.
What, you can’t palp it? Weird.
Palpate
Palpatine.
He’s lying… It’s palp fiction
The obvious answer is that Bandit, being a gnome and due to the fact the symbol has four prongs is behind Gravedust (if she’s there at all).
Otherwise I fear it is fairly difficult to res a person who was nearly bisected sans needle and thread.
It seems Bandit’s part in this story has been…
/puts on sunglasses
Cut.
Best, don’t act like you don’t own a shirt.
Captain, are you a model, if you know what I mean?
(Also, I totally should have expected that one.)
Well, I’ve been know to make a little turn on the catwalk,
Yeah on the catwalk, on the catwalk yeah
I do my little turn on the catwalk.
I hate this meme… but I really did call it about Frigg jumping on poor Byron like that.
Love how she literally ran over Syr’nj though… I’m with her… where the hell is Bandit?
I had a theory, by the by…. the “ressurrection” is the plugging in of the new players. That theory was a bit smashed to bits by the fact that Frigg had memories of Byron kicking her ass. Darnit.
The new comic… Is late?
Oh God. Phil, T., John? Are you guys okay? I’m… I’m worried. You’re NEVER late. I mean, I could care less about the comic, I know that will come eventually, but I’m just hoping that some madman hasn’t decided to hold you all for ransom.
Is it late, really? Wow. Well, better for them to be late than come prematurely is what I always say.
Nah, it’s not late – they just moved to a new website is all.
Wait no, wrong page, I meant to link to The new page, rather than just some random crap. Whoops!
It’s April Fools Day. That may have something to do with it.
On a completely unrelated note, it seems landsharks are catching on:
http://www.amazingsuperpowers.com/2011/03/cover-girl/
Best’s not going to think this is worth it until someone gives him some new shampoo.
