A couple of people were foolish enough to encourage me yesterday, so now I’m inflicting another one on you.
Juvenile and Proud
Yes, this game is loud, crude, childish, and stupid. But it it knows what it wants to be and nails it. And that's admirable.
The Plot-Driven Door
You know how videogames sometimes do that thing where it's preposterously hard to go through a simple door? This one is really bad.
Gamers Aren’t Toxic
This is a horrible narrative that undermines the hobby through crass stereotypes. The hobby is vast, gamers come from all walks of life, and you shouldn't judge ANY group by its worst members.
Wolfenstein II
This is a massive step down in story, gameplay, and art design when compared to the 2014 soft reboot. Yet critics rated this one much higher. What's going on here?
What is Vulkan?
What is this Vulkan stuff? A graphics engine? A game engine? A new flavor of breakfast cereal? And how is it supposed to make PC games better?
Heh, this one is even better! More humor about fantasy role-playing (vs. gaming in general) and humorous rule awareness!
As a slight tangent, hooray for OOTS returning from Summertime irregularity. Characters thinking like players need never get old.
Bah! I had a quick flash back to our campaign at the very beginning with that. Well actually it summed up most of it.
“I start gutting Gandalf!”
Here’s one way to win that particular campaign.
I’d just like to update Steven Den Beste’s link with the new Dork Tower link to the comic: http://www.dorktower.com/2005/04/15/comics-archive-674/
“Encouragement! Encouragement! Nya ha ha ha! I offer Shamus Young more ENCOURAGEMENT! Ha ha ha ha! Let the heavens bellow their darkest fears and bring forth more comics! Ha ha ha ha!”
…What? No, I do NOT laugh like Mandark. I laugh like that scary guy, you know, what’s his name. Never like Mandark. Stop saying I sound like Mandark!
This reminds me of playing the old 8-bit computer text adventure “The Hobbit”…
> kill gandalf
You attack Gandalf.
Gandalf breaks your skull with one mighty blow.
You are dead. You scored 2%.
Would you like to play again? Y/N
:)
LOL!
I say sack the town or die trying!
I refuse to post anything about not being able to see the webcomic, as I am a unique individual with thoughts of my own.
Wait… doh!
Heh, cliche. What make that especially funny is that most of the cliche’s in LoTR are cliche’s because Tolkien made them up and everyone else adopted them.
Kudo’s for the in joke.
11th!
@RPD: And kudos to you sir, for getting the joke. And making sure everyone knows you got it. And for making everyone who didn’t get it feel dumb. They do feel dumb, right? I hope they feel dumb. What’s the point of being smart, otherwise?
i would want to sack the town too after seeing that innkeeper!
I didn’t think I had earned my geekcard until I saw this site! Lovin it
only 15 comments??? Cmon you guys can do better then that! This comic is much better then 15!
Aragorn
Does 16 make it better? Aragorn could use a bit more dialogue, since he’s the only one around at the end.
very funny!!!! i love it!!!
Absolutely hilarious!!

Ah, this has to be one of my favorites in the series.
“Just wait. We’ll be back when I hit level 10”
claaaaassic
:)
total cliche
Most every single time I go on a quest it starts out in a tavern, even when we are in the middle of nowhere we find ourselves in some random tavern or inn
2019, still new readers ! (I read The LoR in 1977 for the first time…)
This comic remains the best ever!
