And in the meanwhile… he got a real sword just to save his glowing stabbingshit for the big guys, or he just got that one feat that upgrades those glowy craptifacts to be made of actual, solid, permanent matter instead of temporarily solidified willpower and pixie dust?
AWESOME! Bottom panel, far right: a rare sighting of the “Chesticorn”, a variant of unicorn that has a sternal placement (as opposed to skull placement) of it’s bony horn … oh, wait … that’s a spear.
Dang it! And I just emailed the International Society of Chesticornologists!
Well, I suppose it’s lucky for me that they’re fairly old-school and would rather spend the day pontificating and getting their theories off their chests than fire up the scary computer.
Even Audubon (sp?) are on Twitter nowadays, right?
Yeah, was going to say: poor Chesticorn (or ‘Chesty’ to his stable friends, his unstable friends don’t communicate much), but at least he got a couple hooves in before going down (that is, if he goes down)
Watching this picture I got reminded of a certain video. Now, I do not personally mind the idea of one-hit kills or cleaving in video games (it’s spectacular and fun) but if you were ever wondering about the realistic possibility of a cleaving attack (through multiple enemies) I rather liked this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB_i2QjH2wE
Really like how he is not dismissing the ideas, just saying not to rely on it happening, plus he goes on to explain why instead of the typical “It’s not going to work, ever!” and leave it at that
When the line “History shows again and again” hit, my brain automagically filled in after it “how nature points out the folly of man. GODZILLA!” Curse you, Blue Oyster Cult!
His manner of speaking surprised me too. I didn’t imagine him to be the type to say “ain’t” or “y’know,” though he’s still obviously an intelligent-enough man. It’s cool to see how much information the creators are packing into a few lines and the color of the box.
Actually, I just re-read Silver Centurion’s previous entries, and at no point does he sound similar to the narration we’re reading here. Something is definitely up, though I think it is too early to say what.
Reminds of the great conversation in Star Trek 6:
>>General Chang: “To be or not to be?” That is the question which preoccupies our people, Captain Kirk. We need breathing room.
Captain James T. Kirk: Earth, Hitler, 1938.<>Chancellor Gorkon: You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon.
I fucked this up somehow. The quote is this:

The Silver Surfer strikes again! (or was he a paladin?)
It was SOME kind of metal or mineral, I zinc.
And in the meanwhile… he got a real sword just to save his glowing stabbingshit for the big guys, or he just got that one feat that upgrades those glowy craptifacts to be made of actual, solid, permanent matter instead of temporarily solidified willpower and pixie dust?
Silver, Gold, either way, I’ll still radium high on the challenge list. (ugh, that was terrible)
The palladium paladin?
Well, he’s just taking the opportunity to prove his mettle…
…and to dispel all doubt of his fighting prowess by taking his opponents, slaying them, and then barium.
Sorry to be “that guy,” but top panel, second text box–should “chaning” be “changing”?
Just long as it’s not 4-Chaning.
I thought it was because of the accent.
I read it as chaining. Whoops.
Or maybe charming?
Spotting my typos?
Guilded Age truly is back to regular updates after all!
It’s good you chainsaw that one and let the creator know. Otherwise it might stihl have had the same error when I read it.
Chaning the world?
Carol Channing the world!
4-chaning the world, one newfag at a time.
Weird to read that in Syr’Nj’s voice.
AWESOME! Bottom panel, far right: a rare sighting of the “Chesticorn”, a variant of unicorn that has a sternal placement (as opposed to skull placement) of it’s bony horn … oh, wait … that’s a spear.
NEVERMIND.

No, you were right. Chesticorns are more common than you think.
Live ones? Not so much.

Forgive the double post but I also remembered about this one (this one is about one-hit kills). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f88E12ldyY

Foolish monologuer! There are three worlds to go around, bare minimum.
When the line “History shows again and again” hit, my brain automagically filled in after it “how nature points out the folly of man. GODZILLA!” Curse you, Blue Oyster Cult!
Yep.
The Silver Centurion’s narration boxes seem… tarnished.
His manner of speaking surprised me too. I didn’t imagine him to be the type to say “ain’t” or “y’know,” though he’s still obviously an intelligent-enough man. It’s cool to see how much information the creators are packing into a few lines and the color of the box.

I thought it was pretty obvious that we’re listening to Goblaurence (sp?) talking.
Fixation on engineering, intelligent enough to use better grammar yet gives no f’s, and grey-green text boxes similar to his skin and clothing color.
Yep, I’d say that’s Goblaurence.
A GOBLIN philosophizing about war? UNTHINKABLE! (and some people probably wonder why this war has been kept up for so long)
Jeez man, if you think it’s that crowded just switch servers already.
Yeah, nobody ever gives server 4325234 any love…
Silver Centurion : pragmatic dude who cut his way through life.
That bunny is a real Watership Downer.
Well done man.
It’s just Fr’nj’s druid training taken to its logical extreme.
“Life must survive and so we forgive when life consumes life in order to live.”
Why do I feel like this monologue should end with “War… war never changes…”

That Unicorn is doing it wrong. The Spike goes on top.
Is that a dead Auraugu in the first panel? Hope it’s not so! :(
gnoll, yes. auraugu, no.
We could be so lucky, the Laughing Champion taken out by a gnome
