No doubt…If they were in Barnum & Bailey’s Circus, he’d say that he was “The Best Show on Earth,” but he’ll just have to settle for “The Best Show on Arkerra.”
As a response to the alt-text, No, I don’t “normally” get nekkid to play MMO games. I keep my underwear on at least. To address my use of quotation marks on that particular word, well, they’re ARE some “naughty” MMO’s out there…Rule #4, ya’ know…
Not if there’s a believable reason for it. The ‘tubes’ probably act as sensory deprivation tanks (to prevent ‘real’ sensations from overriding the VR), and they tend to work best when the occupant isn’t wearing clothing that they can feel.
Best take off your coat
Real slow
And take off your shoes
I’ll take off your shoes
Best take off your dress
Yes yes yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Oh yeah, Gravy’s scarf is *definitely* a different shade from the background in the last panel. If anyone from yesterday’s comments still had any doubts.
So… “three hours”, eh? It’ll be interesting to see if that was indeed the original plan and something will go wrong or if this is just a ruse to get them to cooperate.
Something went wrong.
HR has been trying to kill them since the start of the story as that’s the only way he can shut down the simulation and get them out.
Makes some sense. Going by D&D 5th Edition, HR (and Doctor Faciller) seem close to Warlocks than Wizards, having struck a bargain with powerful entities and given great power in the process… But at the risk of some truly horrible consequences should they default on their debt.
I love how Sir Besty of Triblydouche already has his shirt half unbuttoned even before the sentence is over. He may have become a better person during his time in the tank, but the core remains…:D
Somehow, Best just looks all too happy to get nekkid.
It was about naked O’clock for Best, anyway.
When the Best has an audience, every time is showtime, and getting naked means more of the Best to show.
No doubt…If they were in Barnum & Bailey’s Circus, he’d say that he was “The Best Show on Earth,” but he’ll just have to settle for “The Best Show on Arkerra.”
Seriously…
Frigg and Gravy: ‘Is that so?’
Byron and Syr: ‘Well, makes sense, I suppose…’
Best: ‘BOOYAH! Everything’s coming up Payet!’

Ugh! Rule #34, dammit!
… and this is when a normal person would start for the door (no one ever accused Best of being normal)
Oh, please, like he’s the only one who’s taking their clothes off in that panel.

…is what I imagine everyone is thinking.

It’s more of a shade of pink, compared to sepia world’s browns. Re: Monday’s comic’s comments about it being brown. It’s way more obvious here.
If you go back a page, it’s clear that the colour has been altered in this page to better stand out.
So… “three hours”, eh? It’ll be interesting to see if that was indeed the original plan and something will go wrong or if this is just a ruse to get them to cooperate.
So you’re saying this is a Gilligan’s Island scenario?
“Five passengers set sail that day,
For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.”
Beat me to it
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful game
That started from in this basement
Inside these VR tubes
The CEO was a mad man,
His assistant brave and but not sure.
Five players stepped into tubes that day
For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.
The experiment started getting rough,
HR was at a loss,
If not for the courage of the fearless five
The game would be lost, the game would be lost.
The fearless five landed in the lands of Arkerra
With Byron,
Syr’Nj too,
Gravedust & Frigg,
Saved the Best for last
Here in the lands of Arkerra
Something went wrong.
HR has been trying to kill them since the start of the story as that’s the only way he can shut down the simulation and get them out.
HR has indicated this was not how it was supposed to go, neither the captivity nor his ability to become “God”:
http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-15-page-22/
And it’s only after the scene in chapter 15 that he orders a tube for himself (and Carol).
I have a feeling once HR is defeated in Arkerra, his “investors” show up.
He’s got friends on the other side.
Makes some sense. Going by D&D 5th Edition, HR (and Doctor Faciller) seem close to Warlocks than Wizards, having struck a bargain with powerful entities and given great power in the process… But at the risk of some truly horrible consequences should they default on their debt.
I like how Frigg is the only one not getting undressed. “You want us to WHAT????”
and when she gets into arkerra shes most active when it comes to sexing it out:)
This is either a really long chapter or they forgot to start the new chapter.
Has Phil mentioned the official end date (last comic posting) anywhere yet? It’s got to be coming up.
shhh …. the longer they forget to end the chapter, the longer the comic will continue
I love how Sir Besty of Triblydouche already has his shirt half unbuttoned even before the sentence is over. He may have become a better person during his time in the tank, but the core remains…:D
He’s always at his Best
Best was probably unbuttoning before HR even said anything.
Investors. Heh. “Investors”. Heh heh.
I know who your “investors” are/is. His/their name is:
BILL D.R. BERG!!
