I read the Stephen King short story in one of his anthology collections.
It had absolutely nothing to do with super computers, or virtual reality. Sigh.
Then I’m glad I haven’t read it. I quite liked the first Lawnmower Man movie. Especially the directors cut. Who knew a phone ringing could be so creepy?
Night Shift, if I remember right. It has nothing to do with VR, but everything to do with mowing lawns. How shocking that King would title a story “The Lawnmower Man” and make it about MOWING LAWNS. :D
That is as close to a defining sociopathic statement as anything I’ve heard voiced, and I had to live beside a sociopath for 12 years after his first attempt on my life.
I think dramatic convention dictates that her death by redemption should fail in defeating the final boss, instead transforming him into a one-winged angel to be finished off by the real heroes – otherwise, their existence in sepia world will have been totally pointless.
HR presence there automatically proves his statement false, because he wouldn’t have needed to enter his “created universe” if he hadn’t lost control over it. The *only* reason he’s there now is to try regaining control.
Oh. My. GODS. I just discovered this comic a week ago and have just caught up (y’know, I had to work ‘n stuff). AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I have been on an emotional roller coaster this whole weeek because of this…this…EPIC, brilliant, and compelling story!!!! And there are only 1.5 chapters left, if THAT MUCH?! *weeps*
Many thanks for keeping this going long enough to get here, both to the creative team of G.A. and to the Patreon supporters who believed in this story. I am so grateful to get here before the end credits roll.
Actually, according to the Winter Elves, he didn’t create shit, he merely made a copy, and then started to mess with it. So actually, he’s a pirate, and I’m waiting for the Cease and Desist order.
Lawnmower Man says that he is god here.

Solipsism laughts at your punny sociopathy!
I am sorry you had that experience, Tom Billings. But I am glad that you were able to get out.
The *real* question: can the deity survive a .38 bullet through a pane of glass and a foot of water?
More likely though, they’ll open some form of communication line to him, instead.
Mmm-hmm. HR has forgotten that his true nature right now is just meat in a tube.
For anyone thinking like H.R. (or any similar way), the original body only is an avatar.
Don’t worry Carol, you’ll still get your gold watch and retirement stocks.
And by that he means you’ll be publicly chained into the stocks, hands & head; and all will watch.
…and will the docu-drama get a Golden Globe..?
I dig it. ::)
And if all else fails, there’s still the gun.
There’s always the gun.
…
Okay, time to shut down HR’s TubeTrip(tm)
I think HR got distracted away from TubeTrip™ by http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AGodAmI
and now he’s stuck there.
Not sure if I was just tired or being silly, but I at first thought you said ‘retirement socks’, just because the image was humorous.
likely worth more ;-)
Hey, they may be sagging around my ankles, but these things are comfy!.
Comfy socks are worth their weight in… (looks up the price of gold per ounce) umm, worth their weight in silver?
Why did I read that as retirement socks?
God complex much?
You are all… until you’re not.
“If you are all, then you are also nothing!”
HR vanishes in a puff of logic.
Carol has to be the one to finish him off. He’s her villain to face.
Love the glowysh** “lunar lander” look.
Also – Shanna: OMG MY EARS!! Carol: OMG WE’RE GONNA DIE! Xan: OMG MUST REACH PHONE AND POST TO FB NAO!
Xan’s reach for the phone is clearly in the course of reportorial duty.
I was thinking glowyd20shit. :D
“ET is calling collect. Will you accept the charges?”
DAFUQ!
WTF?
I CAN NOT EVEN
OMGWTFBBQ
All you guys…Hah!
LOL
:D

‘…..even my ugly assistant knows that!’
And that was when HR learned why even gods fear a woman who feels offended.
“AND WHERE IS MY COFFEE?! IT’S BEEN OVER AN HOUR!”
You know you’ve gone off the rails into Doctor Doom territory when you start saying things like, “You dare defy me?”
PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER!
Ity bitty living space.
Well, yeah…A character file usually only occupies a few KB of disk space.
He made the mistake of throwing away the one person who supported him…
I am that DM.
It would have been just as effective to leave it at “I am.”
;)
Solipsistic implosion in 10… 9… 8…
Death of the Author is the birth of the Reader.
Publishers would rather prefer to wait for an author to die before their works see print…Paying out less in royalties, ya’ know.
O.o
And just remember Carol, he couldn’t have done it without you.
HR couldn’t have done it without Carol…Who he apparently says is nothing.
Is your paycheck worth THAT kind of a boss, Carol?
Rocks fall, everyone dies.
Hmm at this point all he needs to do is say he is invincible and I think he will have ticked off line that insures a villain’s doom.
“YOUR EXISTENCE IS DEFINED BY MY RULES”
Yeah, except it’s already been stated that the five created a bunch of new rules for Arkerra just by existing in it.
Methinks it’s time for them to roll the dice.
By which I mean the giant, glowy cage of force that looks suspiciously like a d20…
it does look like a d20 doesnt it?

FRIGGIN’ HELL, WAYWARD BOAT!
Keep up the AoE shield until the boss banter is finished. Then interrupt his spells, pop buffs, and DPS like hell!
Quit Yelling We Can Hear you H.R.!
IKR? People who speak all in caps are so annoying.

Hmmm… What about Chrissie, Daniel and Lia ?
Actually, according to the Winter Elves, he didn’t create shit, he merely made a copy, and then started to mess with it. So actually, he’s a pirate, and I’m waiting for the Cease and Desist order.
I AM that one DM
And the PC hate it
