    Birthday comic. I am pleased with my free entertainment.

    This comic put a huge smile on my face. Just how enthusiastic he is about the warrior-jumper.

    ...but I would say that

    I'm assuming it would be some sort of wuxia-style monk. Hey, it's not like Thief-Acrobat made any more sense.

    You know what? Nanowrimo's cancelled on account of the world is stupid.

    I'm guessing warrior-jumper doesn't ask how high, he just goes with his gut.

    I'm sure that the complete job list from Final Fantasy has dozens of incarnations for those systems.

    Daggerma'am

    Warrior-Jumper sounds like the best class though.

    I'm assuming that Warrior-Jumper is an attempt to make Mario into an RPG class.

    The first thing that came to mind for Warrior-jumper was the FFT Lancer class as well

    As soon as I read "warrior-Jumper", I thought of the Dragoon from Final Fantasy IV (and so did a lot of other people, apparently). Although, it may be a class of fighter that jumps over other warriors as a combat technique.

    And Daggerman sounds awesome.

    I'm not a nice guy, I just play one in real life.
  • Albino BunnyAlbino Bunny Jackie Registered User regular
    Warrior jumper clearly dev's personal class. Must be over powered.

  • LucascraftLucascraft Registered User regular
    My first thought was Dragoon as well. Of course, I was playing FFIV around the same age that Young Gabe probably is now.

    Another possibility is a warrior with a jump pack. Or perhaps an assault trooper from 40k.

    Twist: the Warrior-Jumper is actually a sneak-attack style rogue, who specializes in jumping warriors.

    Warrior-Jumper.

    so far my fear from the last comic that his son making a game is only interesting to him, seems to be justified. This comic wasn't interesting, and it wasn't funny. The whole thing is just "Hey guys look. My kid played a bunch of games, and then copied the ideas down onto a piece of paper! Isn't that amazing?" Not really, no. But I'm kind of curious where this is going. He said there were 6 comics in this arc, right? (Dear Lord in Heaven.) So something else must be about to happen. It can't just be six comics of his son describing his cliche rpg concepts..can it?

    Some of us enjoy seeing this sort of thing. Clearly, you do not.

    Different strokes!

    So you don't enjoy Penny-Arcade. That's cool. The forums cover a wide range of subject material, so there is probably something around here to interest you. Perhaps the threads about something you don't like aren't the best places to be?

    Since we have already discussed FFIV, I feel like I should jump in here and mention that the original FFII SNES translation listed Yang as "Karate Man" instead of Monk.

    Daggerman is obviously a mistranslation of the Rogue class.

    I like this comic. Also this storyline makes a lot more sense now - somehow I had gotten the impression little Gabe was making a video/computer game, not a tabletop game :P Which seemed really impressive for someone so young :)

    Edit: Also I hope Warrior-Jumper can do cool jumping moves. That would be awesome.

    Edit: Getting my RPG stuff out because of this strip. Time to create an adventure!

    There's just something... wrong about boiling a small child's attempt to emulate and make his father proud to "copying ideas down on paper" and "cliche rpg concepts".

    Like, it's straight up asshole...ly behavior. Borderline apalling.
