This is an Overlord comic, but it’s not really about Overlord. It’s about a game which is not Overlord. If you want this to make sense, then you’ll just have to read it for yourself.
The Best of 2011
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2011.
Trashing the Heap
What does it mean when a program crashes, and why does it happen?
Starcraft 2: Rush Analysis
I write a program to simulate different strategies in Starcraft 2, to see how they compare.
Spider-Man
A game I love. It has a solid main story and a couple of really obnoxious, cringy, incoherent side-plots in it. What happened here?
Charging More for a Worse Product
No, game prices don't "need" to go up. That's not how supply and demand works. Instead, the publishers need to be smarter about where they spend their money.
Maybe next time, the Overlord could sue a game that tries to have in-game incentive why to go Bad or Good, which enforces a peticular and oppressive kind of morality?
I don’t know… like Fable?
Are you sure blocking anything with Jack Black on it would be considered “evil” and not an act of “protection of humanity” ?
Wow, what a hilarious coincidence.
I just now, 5 minutes ago, beat Overlord 1. And now you post a comic from Overlord (II, but close enough :P)
Also, LOL :D
Very sharp one here. And ‘grats on the 111 comic, as I’m one of those who celebrates repeated numbers.
I found the word “Underlawyers” to be the funniest bit, for some reason.
I didn’t even know there were lawsuits going on. How, exactly, do Activision think they can stop someone from selling the rights to a product they completely dropped? Also, what’s the point to the suits?
Well, as long as I get BL in the end, I’ll be happy.
Shamus, the wording in your comment makes it sound like Double Fine dropped Brutal Legend, not Activision–you overused pronouns and I wasn’t sure what that “it” referred to. Normally a pronoun refers to the most recent proper noun, which is Double Fine, not Activision.
I wish more villains yelled “Curses!”
Like Snidely Whiplash?
“Summon the underlawyers from their lair and break the seal on the litigation gate! I will see this deed done.”
I love it.
