"...perfectly timed"
So what else goes boom in the Reclaimerverse? Or is it some random object that you will make "explode"? But will RC always go for the big boom? Or will he go the hard way this time?
So when we talk about the Cavalcade I always think of and assumed male voices.
Jim, did you envision all male voices or are some of them female or are the Cavalcada androgynous?
I hate it when I make assumptions like that.

That sounds to me like it would be a good solution.
"either take this difficult and time consuming process, or just blow $#it up"
I would definitely go with #2.
Yeah and guys aren't so bitchy (sorry no offence to anyone!) Can you imagine if all the characters were female. The arguments would be a bit more interesting…
Guys aren't so B**chy? you've obviously never met my bo…
Na, I'm just kidding.
But, seriously though, one of my friends is a regular winer, with a voice to match.
It really depends on the individual person, not their gender.

You know, in real life people would be considered insane for talking to people in their head, but then again real life doesn't involve super smart AIs.
that is very true, but i've been thinking about it and it seems that all of the characters in Reclaimerverse are sarcastic in some way…maybe some carry over from the creator?
I agree, I love the way that you have Reclaimer doing a voice over. It really provides some depth to his character. It also shows us where he has come mentally since the calvacade have come to visit
Question is, can the Calvacade hear his musings, as they are in his head?
Hmm… The cavalcada didnt seem the type to tell someone 2 blow something up. There's a suprise. for me. Honestly, if he doesnt throw something Really, REALLY BIG, not just a crummy fusion coil or 2, im gonna be grumpy. And i havent had my lemonade yet, so that might not be a good idea… Its all up 2 u now Jim.
you dont actually need the gravity all stuffed around, but if you do have enough on the inside blowing and instant spawning then it should go down without a hitch.
Yeah I agree. When I went through and read it again, I almost heard ironic sarcasm from the Clavacada when they (it?)said "we don't joke". Huge change in the feel of the comic from the first ones. Less serious, more humour. I've noticed that there has been a decrease in the number of people trying to guess the plot line. Musta figured that it's a hopeless and pointless exercise.

Oh and thanks for getting the bugs fixed, I'm not getting failure messages anymore.
I think it helps that I've become more comfortable with my characters. It's easier for me to communicate their personalities and insert a little humor here and there.
Yeah, I've been bugging Austin over at IntenseDebate quite a bit over the last week or so about various issues. (He actually partied up with me and bunch of my fellow Gunsligners for BTB last night, that's how much I've been emailing him.) I think we've got most of the bugs worked out now.
That have lived for who knows how long and have the knowledge of the Forerunnners. And has anyone you know tried to fight an ancient, super smart, crazy being hellbent on destroying/controlling the universe?
I don't think it does. What your trying to say doesn't sound right and that word is out of context with what you are trying to say. You may want to look it up and find out what it means before you use it again, though that's just me. I mean no offence.
oh, don't worry. i will. i'll be expecting some huge BOOM! like the one from halo ce… i have faith that you won't let me down. reclaimer is such a kick-ass comic!
Ah but if you were thinking about confusing thoughts than the person thinking those thoughts would know that the thoughts thought would be fake thoughts and would think other thoughts. Does that make sense?

Waiting for this to happen =]
You must enjoy disappointment.
So no complicated rube goldburg device for pushing explosives about? Just a nade or a rocket…
Hehe, it's not that kind of catch.
I have a feeling that RC will soon be in physical pain
It's a distinct possibility.
What are you deviating?

All male, kind of like Spark and Tangent, but more full, rich, and powerful.
Yes, I don't know why but they don't read like female voices.
Maybe because there was nothing to indicate otherwise?
That sounds to me like it would be a good solution.

Oh, but there's a catch. There's always a catch to the easy solution.
I could almost hear Reticent Mystery struggling not to luagh as he said the last part.
I could almost hear Reticent Mystery struggling not to laugh as he said the last part.
Haha, perfect! That's exactly the way I was thinking of it while I writing those lines – a sort of ironic humor.
"Liar"
The things that are worth having are not the easiest.
Generally speaking. That's a good rule of thumb.
I'd say it was the sarcasm, but ladies can be every bit as sarcastic as men.
Nah, only men can be this sarcastic.
Although it might not be possible for them to have genders, being creations of chaos.
Clearly, you've never met my wife. (And this I say with great affection and admiration.)
Or my ex-wife
or my (insert typical annoying female stereotype here)
I think he was being sarcastic. : ]]
Of course he was.
I was carefully avoiding sarcasm in order not to risk incurring the wrath of said wife/wives.

Ok, I'm calling an ened to this particular sub-thread. Alright, everyone?
Ok, I'm calling an end to this particular sub-thread. Alright, everyone?
It'd also be damn inconvenient.
Fun though. And frustrating. Imagine trying to argue with someone who knows what you're thinking.
Shortest argument ever.
Not if you confuse them with your own thoughts.
That'd be a very confusing inner monologue.
of course, who WOULDNT take the opportunity to blow something up?
Absolutely love how you played with the characters here, Jim!
I've had a lot of fun writing for these characters recently.
You know, in real life people would be considered insane for talking to people in their head, but then again real life doesn't involve super smart AIs.
It's never been a problem for me… ;D
Of course not. You're already insane.
It's taken as granted
I dont have super smart Ai's but i talk to my cofee… i dont know if i should have told you that.
i've always felt that the cavalcade was sarcastic even before RC
It's a fair point!
True, but then again, we didn't really meet them until the Reclaimer found the first one.
that is very true, but i've been thinking about it and it seems that all of the characters in Reclaimerverse are sarcastic in some way…maybe some carry over from the creator?
I wouldn't be surprised, haha, I think Reclaimer is Jim's sarcasm outlet besides just satisfying his writing itch!
I don't need one specific sarcasm outlet, per se. As you well know, that's just my personality coming out.
In other words, you have a sarcastic personality? I get it!!!
Oh, no doubt.
can't wait for things to start blowing up. i like pretty explosions.
i love the fact that they are taking on each other's traits and it is always fun to hear the Reclaimer's thoughts.
I agree, I love the way that you have Reclaimer doing a voice over. It really provides some depth to his character. It also shows us where he has come mentally since the calvacade have come to visit
Question is, can the Calvacade hear his musings, as they are in his head?
They're in his head, but only metaphorically so, since that's where the implants are. They can't actually read his thoughts.
That would be cheating ;D
i loled

i think the he was being at least semi-sirious with the second option. The thing is, large was a MASSIVE under-statement.
I would imagine an Elephant.
Those explode, right? : ]
Well, at the very least, they flip real nice.
Or not, as appears to be the case when you view the "Press RB…" message.
Or not, as appears to be the case when you view the "Press RB…" message.
It takes a little power, but you can do it. ; ]
If you reduce the gravity to the lowest setting and then start exploding things underneath the Elephants, you can keep them aloft indefinitely.
you dont actually need the gravity all stuffed around, but if you do have enough on the inside blowing and instant spawning then it should go down without a hitch.
Fusion coils, set minimum runtime equal to amount made, step back and shoot it. Elephants can fly…if only we had a pig now.
I must say, You've become very good at character development.
Wonderful comic!
Thanks!

LET BLOW SHIT UP!!!!! YEY!!!!!

I wrote the sentence wrong and I couldn't go back and fix it once Jim posted.
Hehe, want to take another stab at it? Cuz I really have no idea what it was you were trying to say there.
Not really, I kind forgot.
(Or did I?)
That is my favorite line ever… of all time.
I agree. Even better than "I flew". It just makes more sense with the humour.
He was, and you're right.
Lol, he isnt insane, he is just extremely talented.
:O Jim didn't trim the yellow's speech!
Actually…it's not quite yellow…yellow-orange…ish…
more on the yellow side though lol.
I think it's the shade of the border.
I think it's more orange than yellow. It depends on how you look at it.
Looks green to me.
: ]
Someone here's color-blind – and it isn't me.
He said it depends on how you look at it.

This strip simply reminded me why I love reading this comic.
Not that I needed a reminder, just saying. Very nice dialogue ^^
Thanks!
Erm… Does my teacher count?
Probably not.
oh, don't worry. i will. i'll be expecting some huge BOOM! like the one from halo ce… i have faith that you won't let me down. reclaimer is such a kick-ass comic!
Ok, well, then you might want to go up and click the 'Next' link right under the comic. #135 has been up all day now.
ummm… yeah. whoops… completely missed that. lol.
hmmm… maybe this large explosion will do something to the facility the reclaimer is… namely, an EVEN BIGGER explosion! hmm…
Read #135.
Smath man.
Smart man.
Doesn't bother me!
Ah but if you were thinking about confusing thoughts than the person thinking those thoughts would know that the thoughts thought would be fake thoughts and would think other thoughts. Does that make sense?
But, you could take it one step further and still confuse said person.__(I would do the long involved version, but I'm too tired)

It's a fair point. But that would imply that you knew that they could read your thoughts.
I do, and I know it's not the prefect word, but it will work.
What if you could read theirs?
Then you would have no need to.
Ya, its says Press RB to… Wait how did you do this?
Also what do you think a warthog is?

It's the greatest and most iconic game vehicle ever known to mankind.
And if you fill the troop carrier version with 10 marines with Spartan Lasers, also the most powerful.
Okay, Darn
I was gonna do a funny one with Ferrits.
For how long this thread is, we stayed, amazingly, on topic.
I was referring to when you try and flip it back.
