I’ve put up a t-shirt poll, so be sure to weigh on it and leave comments, if you have any.
Jim I love the way you are voicing Goddard. It is so perfect to have this AI blocking someone who thinks he is unstoppable with basic sarcasm and wit. This is some of the more entertaining dialogue you have entered in, other than I flew of course!
Everyone seems to like the "I flew" line. I might just have to make that into a t-shirt.
Definitely.
I'm thinking white text on black with a Reclaimer logo and website address on the back.
I would buy that.
Finally it seems that Ferial gets what's coming to him, great comic as always.
wooh!! go goddard,bit of revenge on Ferial for once,he wont be dead,and probably not even hurt but its always nice to see the bad guy get blown up,all the AI stuff makes sense to me now, as in what they were going on about
BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Awesome. didn't expect Goddard to pull something like that. Let's hope he did some permanent damage to this incarnation of ferial.
The title reminds me of Cluedo…
Rulebook: I think Ferial killed me outside Eternal Refuge with the Splazer. Ferial: Yep. Ferial: I think Goddard hit me with some fusion cores in the generator room. Goddard: Yep. Goddard: I think Rulebook hit Ferial with a Candlestick in the dining room. Rulebook and Ferial (together): What?
Haha, I hadn't looked at it that way, but I think you're right!
Rulebook: I accuse the soup broke Ferial in the soup.
Run that by me again?
He's crazy, don't ask me.
I think it was RC with the lead pipe in the study…......................oops, let that one slip early.
No, it was with the Magnum. ;D
That only makes sense. I should have seen it sooner.
Oooh, nothing like a good pistol whipping to make your day better.
Always improves my day, let me tell you…
Pistols at dawn. Old classics
very nice, a good, fulfilling installment
Great comic Jim…once again ferial was taken by surprise, but i'm sure he will find some way to use this in his favor
Sounded like that hurt, which is odd for Ferial. Then again, we've never seen him in combat before.
Could have been a cry of frustration, as well…
If that was a cry of Frustration, then was that wall panel a way of accessing Rulebook and the AI? Why would a small explosion be so frustrating to Ferial, he seems to have ways around such small setbacks?
Is the frustration just because Goddard joined Rulebook in his defense thus blocking Ferial?
Something like that…
Why do you keep smirking? : )
Well, that could be something like a data holder that held vital information o.o Remember that with Jim, items could be anything. The bulge on Ferial's back (I'm going to call it his backpack o.o) Could contain not Ferial, but soda for all we know!
Read further and you shall see, you are not incorrect, as far as the fusion coil goes.
Yes, it's generally safest to assume that nothing is as it appears to be in the Reclaimerverse.
I knew there was an explosion coming as soon as Ferial set foot in that hallway. Great work, Jim.
"crackle crackle fizzle pop" sounds like a bowl of cereal. Reclaimer Flakes? Spartan Pops?
Spartan Pops FTW
or in this case, ferial fries…
which would not really class as cereal. fries and milk is not a good combination…
Have you tried it?
Fried and vanilla shake is better.
Did you mean fries? A fried vanilla shake?
I think he means fries dipped in a shake. Like Wendy's fries dipped in a Frosty, way to good.
I know, I used to do that with McDonald's fries and their ice cream cones
Exactly so.
OMG!!! PWNAGE!!! Ferial obviously isnt dead, nut maybe he will just be an eggplant because of brain damage or sumthin…
Eggplant! Hahahahaha! Yeah, I liked this panel too. Essplosions galore! Secondaries like mad! Okay maybe not, but the argh was certainly choice.
Was the "I flew" line from some previous panel I should be digging for? I've never seen that line…
Go back to 117 – Revival for that reference. If you haven't read back through the archives yet, I'd highly recommend you do so. Current events don't really make sense without that context.
Seriously, it should feature in the "Top 10 Rreclaimer Qutoes of All Time".
Although, I still think it should have been "I walked."
I dunno. I still think "I flew" is funnier. Kind of goes along with the whole "and boy, are my arms tired" punchline.
Ouch, I was wondering if you were going to go there.
ouch… i would say poor ferial, but he is a bastard. so the calvacada finally got some sort of revenge on him! haha! good work, jim!
Is it me, or was Ferial talking to the fusion coils?
Look at it like a memory core.
I thought it was something like that.
Talking to inanimate objects is the fourth step in going crazy! 1)talking to oneself 2)seeing visions 3) creatin friends that look just like you so you can entertain yourself!
I started talking to inanimate objects before talking to myself.
i talk to myself all the time, and i see stuff thats not really there! IM CRAZY
*Achievement Reclaimed 6RC-Wierdo You Talk To Stuff
Talking to myself is a job requirement.
Being mad is a job requirement.
Sanity is a job perk that few people achieve.
But does the stuff talk back? Let's hope so otherwise its real boring talking to yourself in front of a bunch of inanimate objects…...................sounds like my job some days.
They do when I supply the voices.
Since I am the only one I can have an intelligent conversation with I suppose I am at least at step one. By the way, what color is the sky that you see?
Blurble How tall is the pillar you are on? I haven't slept for ten days, cause that would be too long
Tall enough to get me a little dizzy, its a thrill ride at 6" A.F.F. Mine's maullow but only just….............
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
Were that actually the case, you'd be dead.
That's an all to accurate perception of the world.
Sorry about the bad link, I'm still not sure what to do with ID and Distefant commented before I could fix it. D::=
*Achivement Unlocked *10 RC – Around the Bend *You might as well get it over with now, Pikmin.
Oops, i thought i was being cool.
There's a certain spot on the elites neck that you can shoot right through in multiplayer without causing harm. Or at least at one stage, might have been a bug fix since then.
Very nice, very clever. So Goddard was holding back that part. He traced the wedge (spike whatever) to that installation…maybe, wasn't it sent rom last resort? Found Rulebook plodding around and received like a cry or help from it's subconcious…..subroutines? Sets himself up to overload the power cores on the o chance someone should pop around the corner and send everything bugger up. (I admit parts seem ridiculous but it could happen…maybe)
EDIT: Where's Ferials body in the last panel eh…
No, it was a definitive plan to at least slow Ferial down. Rulebook may be insane, but he's not stupid.
For some reason, I couldn't help but be reminded of 'Home Alone'. Meh, oh well; its interesting that in spite of his insanity Rulebook and Goddard have had some form of communication, unbeknown to both Ferial and readers alike. I can easily see Ferial being aggravated by this; what was supposed to be a simple trip to get some information out of Rulebook has turned into…well, this. An ONI AI who shouldn't be there at all, Rulebook tripping him up…yeah, Ferial isn't too happy.
It's definitely a monkey wrench in the works.
I was waiting to see how you used those cores… and you didn't disappoint.
That's what I'm talking about, Goddard!
PS. You can clearly see the well-known "hole" in an Elite's neck in multiplayer in the last frame. It looks like Ferial's head got blown off.
There is also one in the Spartin body type, although it's a bit harder to see.
Hole? I don't follow…
Well, it's called a hole but it's more like a gap.
The Elite player model has no neck to his body… you can see clearly the gap between the head and the body.
I dunno but I think Ferial should have at least kinda of seen that one coming. I know he is a cocky, arrogant little fella but cores on the wall should have at least tickled something in the back of his mind that maybe it wasn't such a good idea to stand so close.
I hope Goddard gives Ferial a run for his money before this is over.
Bear in mind that in this context, those cores were actually representative of a memory core, specifically Rulebook's. The little guy went kamikaze.
If he went kamikaze, then why during/after the explosion do we see him laughing? or is that laughing as he dies?
Heh, see my comment reply below.
looks who comes in all late and bumbs my comment down so it doesnt make sense…angery face
Well, if you'd use the Post Reply button properly, that wouldn't be a problem.
I don't even see it any more.
Noooo…. Jimmy!
Poor thing. He wasn't in the best shape as it was.
Ferial see boom-boom too late.
Well, he certainly wouldn't have expected an AI to blow up its own memory core.
If I rember correctly, there are more fusion coils in that level. : {]
Not the way I use the map.
Plasma batteries, I think.
That's it.
Is it possible that Goddard has taken over Rulebooks position as guardian, now that Rulebook has kicked the bucket? Or is Rulebook going to spawn over again with other backup memory cores?
Well, now, that's a question to be answered another day, isn't it? (Insert maniacal laughter here.)
Still Alive…
With Rulebooks knowledge and a sarcastic Oni AI this should provide some real entertainment/frustration for Ferial. If they merged that is.
If Goddard now has Rulebooks memory, the UNSC just got a huge dump of info. If that is what happened. I have a feeling Jim's going to make me wait till Wednesday to find out.
Oh, I'm going to make you wait a lot longer than that.
I have many bad words that are coming to mind right now Jim.
You're not being nice. I'm not going to share my tonkas with you anymore. Go home to my own sandbox.
2 more at the needler spawn
So there is. I was thinking of the room above the lift room (where there's a jump back down into the lift room via a ledge, or a drop down to a lower walkway and the lower lift room and the shotgun spawn.
i think most people just refer to that as the "blue room" or "flare spawn" if you're an OG
There's a flare? I'd honestly never noticed. I'm ashamed to say I don't really know when to use equipment to best advantage.
There is. I find it only marginally useful, though. It's occasionally good for when everyone is gathered out in the middle. Toss the flare, toss a few grenades, watch everything go boom.
I'm pretty sure I'm wrong about this, but I might as well type it up anyway.
Perhaps Rulebook is not actually insane, and only pretending to be insane to annoy Ferial. After all Ferial did say at one point "I know your perfectly capable of understanding me".
Oh, he's insane and as batty as they come. But he is capable of understanding, as well, and even communicating – in his own fashion. Ferial knows this and understands that Rulebook is being deliberately obstinate. Why Ferial ever thought that just talking would be enough to get Rulebook to cooperate is anybody's guess.
They're all mad. Just like us.
It is up to Jim to immortalize our insanity forever in the form of a comic!
There are ten?
Oh no, I completly understand your reasoning, it's just i wish i knew that before.
Oh no, I completly understand your reasoning, it's just i wish i knew that before hand.
It's actually a Mitch Hedburg joke. I don't know if you've heard him before, but he uses very long posses.
I have; I'm just not familiar with that particular punchline.
Perhaps Goddard and Rulebook will regret doing that very soon…..
Perhaps. Perhaps not. But I suspect that someone will.
Yay! Boom!
It's ok. I have images disabled in the comments, so your link would have failed even if you'd gotten the syntax correct.
Perk of the job.
And sanity is so over-rated.
I'm sorry?
No sleep for 10 days = dead. Actually, it takes fewer days than that to accomplish the feat.
In order to reap the true rewards of insanity you must delve into it and enjoy all the facets it provides. Besides, the cake is not a lie where I lie.
I admit I am biased on that subject, having never experienced it myself.
What can I say? That punchline never fails to crack me up, especially when it's presented in a novel light.
Oh, I know. But really, have I ever given you a reason to NOT expect cliffhangers by now?
If the cake is not a lie where you lie, then why where I lie is the cake no lie?
Ah, I couldn't tell which post you were replying to underneath all the other posts.
You might want to read that one again, Jim.
The short answer is erm… NO.
We do live for the day, though.
No, but its still not nice. Anxious expectation is not easy. Of course neither is life.
Well, you might want to reset those expectations, then.
I would never lie about a lie to just create a lie about a cake that is no lie.
Keeps you coming back, though, doesn't it?
"I said, throw down boy."
Yes, yes it does.
Then it's doing its job.
Then the formula's working.
"He who draws first, wins."
Of course you would not lie about a lie that may or may not have been a lie about a cake, but my point is that the cake may have been a lie where you lie but the lie was that the lie of the cake (being a lie, of course) was intrinsically a lie and so I could not, therefore, have been lying when I said "the cake is a lie where I lie".
It never goes away. ;D
Old classic, it is.
He who laughs last, well, laughs last and looks like the fool they may truly be.
A lie is a lie is a lie. But is it a lie when it comes to cake? I don't believe anyone could lie about cake. Although I do not condone lying with cake. For that lie is a bad lie.
But you never said "the cake is not a lie where I lie". You Lie!!
And so the randomness spills over.
: |
You need to do less lieing and more looking, I was talking to Hats-Are.
Not really. (although I guess you could count this) (or can you?)
Just a bit.
I don't expect it would.
Good. That's one idea, then.
And I intend to abuse it silly.
Trust me, it's for the best. The last thing I need is some smartass coming in here and posting an inappropriate image. I'd much rather avoid that particular headache.
Your original premise wasn’t particularly clear, so I chose one likely interpretation and ran with it.
We are toeing the line to spamming aren't we.
Because the cake is not a lie as I stated previously. Or did I lie about lying about the cake not being a lie.
No, the cake is definitely not a lie where I lie.
I've doen that a few times too. As for the soda I going to assume he doesn't. : {)
I've doen that a few times too. As for the soda I going to assume he doesn't. : { )
I've doen that a few times too. As for the soda I going to assume he doesn't. : {]
Oops, my bad.
Did that right after my post…in retrospect, I should have done so first o.o and hey, Jim never said there WASN'T soda in Ferial's backpack!
