    New Disgaea!

    I must add this to my pile of N1 games that remain unfinished (it's all of them. Sometimes on multiple formats).

    He has said that he does draw the naughty bits.

    He has also said that no, he will never post the unpixelated images.

    This is a sensible approach.

    I've never played any of the Disgaea games but I've wanted to for a while.

    Is it just me or do these not have jokes in them anymore?

    This one has a clear joke with a traditional structure. Perhaps you have joke blindness.

    Eh, it's a departure from the old joke of an artist implying that they have a huge penis.

    He probably can't post the uncensored image. He doesn't keep his work before the finished product. Scott talked about how he wanted to see how Gabe created the strips, and was about horrified when he saw that when the strip was done Gabe would flatten the layers into the final image. There was no going back.

    Also, the preview image from the main page is hilarious. They've said before they don't select the preview image, but it seems to always be excellent.

    Disgaea is...not for me.
    I love RPGs and I don't mind grinding to a certain extent, but Disgaea is just too much.

    I picked it up on the DS and ended up in the same boat. As I remember I had just come off a FFTA2 bender that had boiled down to the point where I was randomly walking around counting off months waiting for the last two or three missions I'd missed to show up in the pub again and thought it sounded like a good substitute.

    Holy hell. I think I got about nine hours out of the game before I realized that I had accidentally done nothing in the main storyline after being railroaded through the first couple missions, and I had little to show for the time invested, and no real idea what anything I'd tried to do was for. I don't remember anything about classrooms, but I do remember needing to convince the some kind of demon Congress to approve new characters in a process that taught me new hatred of the political system. Another few hours and I finally thought I had some idea how to get things through congress or whatever it was called, dumped almost all the money I'd accumulated in those hours into a character who ended up coming out so weak I was still using those penguin things I started with because goddamn.

    I never had the heart to sell it back, but I've never mustered the courage to go back, either.

    And a bonus visual gag, and a bonus gag via the preview image.

    I have and love Disgaea 1 and 2, but stopped buying after 2 when I realized that I never finish the games because I just keep going in and dicking around and never actually make any progress toward finishing the games.

    The congress was an odd beast, yeah. They'd never, ever passed anything I wanted, so my solution was always to just start tossing enemies around to combine their levels. There was a trick to it, I think - if you combined an enemy who supported you with an enemy who opposed you, their level would combine, but their position would be that of the higher level enemy. So really, you just had to wander around throwing low level opponents into high level supporters. Every time you did this, the supporter's level would increase, making it easier and easier.

    I sent the un-edited version to the rest of the office. It was not appreciated.

    Good birthday comic.

    Great birthday preview image.

    Could have done with a reappearance of Tycho's Mr. Tea mug though.

    If anybody wants to see the uncensored image, Gabe tweeted it. Link itself isn't NSFW but Gabe's link is.

    It's everything you imagined it to be, and more.

    This tickles me all over, especially Tycho's "Fuck Monday" expression.

    Actually my favorite part of the comic. Tycho's unchanging, thousand-yard squint. Gabe is just a surreal hallucination he's experiencing before his coffee kicks in.

  • PlatyPlaty Registered User regular
    Goddamnit, they established in 2002 that Gabe is not a morning person. I don't consider this comic canon.

    I'll vouch for this. I know jerry has said it's completely automated in the past, but this preview is not the one I saw when the comic first went up.

    Perhaps I should acquaint you with a phrase they have used in the past.

    Tycho's expression matches mine pretty much exactly when my friends talk about Disgaea.
