    First panel is a joke in itself. Isaac's expression in panel 2 is also great; naked fear upon seeing Q again. I can feel his terror.

    Yeah, something about that expression in panel 1 is great.

    New tale today:

    The good ol’ switcheroo trick.

    There are 2 kinds of show stoppers when you’re close to release.

    First, there’s the ones that you don’t want the public to see. Then there are the ones the console manufacturers don’t want to see.

    They’re pretty hardcore sometimes on finding crashes in places people will never go. And by that, I mean that no one will eject their disc and reinsert it while mashing the home/guide/PSN button… during the logo videos.

    So we had a crash in our game, it occurred if the player did something no one would ever do on purpose. And it only occurred on the default multiplayer map! We thought that no one would ever get this crash and because it was impossible to fix we considered leaving it there, but we were worried about the console manufacturer…

    So… We put that particular map last instead of first. They didn’t find it. Better that than to cut a map out of 6 huh?

    Uh I could actually imagine doing that. You put in a game you want to play then you say "oh shit just kidding I don't want to play it" so you eject it and start mashing Home, then you change your mind.

    I can't figure out what the dialog in frame 3 is supposed to mean.
    Q had in a previous comic implied that Isaac's perceived isolation from the rest of the team is self-imposed/imaginary. Isaac is pointing out that the fact that everyone knew that Isaac lived in his car but didn't offer help is evidence that his exclusion from the group wasn't solely in his head. He's doing so sarcastically.

    Also, apparently, while living in his car, Isaac had to deal with a homeless man in the parking lot who thought that TV dramas on the cable channel AMC were documentaries about his life from the future. Q knew this man as a former employee named Dave who was laid off.

    Have they posted any more? If not, that sure was a short "season".

    There was a new comic today.

  • marsiliesmarsilies Registered User regular
    The new comics appear to be going up later in the day than they used to, closer to the afternoon rather than the morning. It appears to be confusing Geth.

    I don't think that would do it, but there's definitely something. Dog needs a kick every now and then, it's not a big deal.
