    Awesome use of the Bungie Day special gift!

            Btw, 4th panel, is that a typo? "static electricity crawling [up/through] your armor"?

          • Jim Stitzel
            July 10, 2010 at 8:57 pm | #

            Nope. Any preposition is implied there.

            Great work, good use of the helmet even if the plot element seems out of place. And the last bubble seems a bit contrived and cliched, like a really, really bad one liner… In MY opinion anyway.

          • Jim Stitzel
            July 11, 2010 at 2:01 pm | #

            I'm curious. Why do you think it seems out of place?

            I agree. It feels really forced, like you just had to do it because of Bungie Day. And it also looks stupid.

            But it's still cool none the less.

          • Jim Stitzel
            July 11, 2010 at 9:35 pm | #

            Ok, which is it? Stupid or cool? Cuz you can't have it both ways.

            Well, like Snow said, it's like you had to do and it looks out of place, simply because it's not a common feature. However, I think it's a cool use of it. When I mean it looks out of place, it's doesn't really convey the message of an AI transferring into RC's suit, but rather a way to convey a bad one-liner.

            Thank you Doobz.

            Cool and Stupid aren't mutually exclusive Jimbo.
            I mean, look at me! I'm both.

      I think it'd lose something without the context.

          It was pretty bad ;) Hard pressed on thinking up new quotes Jim? Haven't been many that matched "I flew" as of late :D

          • Jim Stitzel
            July 11, 2010 at 2:04 pm | #

            Not really. It just seemed like the natural progression here, and I was looking for a good reason to torch our hero.

            Exactly why It's out of place.

            I think Snow and I are getting a bit over-critical of your work here Jim :p But the reason it looks out of place is the fact that you needed to find a reason, rather than find a scene to fulfill a reason.

            Sorry Jim ;)

            That's what I've been trying to say.

            I'm not too poetic.

      Reading the transcript will give you a hint. :) Other than that, you'll just have to wait.

        For a moment there I was like "WOAH Bungie gave Jim fire!". Then I read the comments. Lol, I didn't even play Halo on Bungie day…sigh
        Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing what's up with this Barcode dude.

          I don't really sign on much anymore, but I saw potential for storytelling elements there when they announced it on the Bungie Comm Chatter section. It actually fit what I'm doing with this part of the story. :)

            Its great when you've got something extra to make a story just that little bit better. :)

        Oooooh!! I didn't realise that the person talking in the last wasn't RC!! So it's another AI called Barcode!!

    Great use of the flaming headgear! Do have to admit the pun at the end was worth it.

    Will there be any more of the 'flaming head' in the next comic? :p

      Indeed.

    OMG!!! It took me a while to realise that the speaker in the last panel was another AI! I thought it was RC, but now I know that the last speaker is called Barcode, everything makes sense!!

      The tail of the balloon is actually pointing at the fire (and it's a different font), not the Reclaimer's head.

    My initial thought was the fire was ferial…. in some shape or form…

    I can just imagine the next shot, either post flamethrower or incendiary grenade :)
