You'd think Tycho would know better than this. Isn't it equivalent to a double negative?

Meissnerd

FUCK I WAS JUST ABOUT TO DO THIS

Rolo

Mysst

He just doesn't know it.

Moriveth

So who's gonna make Gabe and Tycho kiss?

Langly

I think that the best P.A. comics are the ones where you can tell that it's from an actual conversation the two had.

Agreed. Like: http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/2/4/

There are some serious Kurtz fingers going on in this comic.

That is also one of my ATF. <3 That and the one shortly after where Gabe is obsessively arranging his pills in a grid.

jwalk

So is "no no na-no no" a reference to that song?

You know, the one that goes "no no na-no no"?

Grath

Krentz

such a good comic. so good. seriously.

Squall

I'm not entirely sure if panel 1 would look better if Tycho had a neck.

Both are replicas of fictional weapons, but one of the replicas functions as a real weapon - the other does not.

sarukun

The "functionality" is questionable.


I mean, they don't sell frostmourne sharpened, and I am fairly certain the steel is not of sufficient quality to withstand a sharpening.


But I suppose I'm splitting hairs.

jwalk

I kinda doubt those replicas of Warcraft swords can be used as "real" swords. Are they even sharp? Surely they are not made of the finest hardened steel.

EDIT: splitting hairs is definitely out of the question.

Granted, but I'm sure the replica Frostmourne makes for an efficient stabbing weapon.

It's far too unweildy to stab much of anything, it is more akin to a claymore. You bludgeon people with it.

jwalk

You can say that about anything though, like a trashcan lid. You don't need to spend $300 on a cheap fake fantasy sword with a dumb name to bludgeon people.

Quoth

guys the answer is no

none of these display weapons are fight ready

they will break if you try to fight with them

isn't that what they basically did with claymores anyway

Well, they did do the whole series that was up on the Fallout site prior to release, perhaps that burnt them out on the subject?

This is a great comic, I've always thought replica weaponry from games/movies was kinda cool, but there's no way I could ever justify the price.

That is why I said they are basically the same thing.


What is wrong with you?

Centipede Damascus

oh, lots of things

sarukun

For reals, man.

Quoth

i have always found it much cooler to buy real weapons, even if they don't look ridiculously awesome

Grey Ghost

I doubt I could even lift a fucking claymore

Centipede Damascus

Quoth you are absolutely right
