Okay people, looks like this is an ingame comic. No outward opinions here. So we can all just turn down the threat level and



DAMMIT STAN!

Oh man, the steam from the glass!

Hell on Wheels

I think that's a soul trying to escape

Commander Zoom

That worked out so well for Dr. Aeon in Cap au Diable (City of Villains)...

Hell energy is emanated from a purple dildo with a butt plug at the end?

Reaching pretty far for that one.

is that a spirit trying to manifest from the energy?

Absolutely not. UAC would like to remind you that in any way implying our limitless free energy is dangerous, will result in a potentially financially crippling lawsuit for you and your family.

To give some credit to the UAC's marketing department, they did at least brand it as "Argent Energy" rather than "Hell Energy" when selling it.

Lucascraft

My roommate and I had this very conversation last night. Discussing Hell Energy.

And I think we both came to the conclusion that maybe they should reconsider using a product with "Hell" in the title when it refers to actual Hell.

The road to hell is paved with Argent Energy.

KalTorak

i mean, Hell is famous for its abundant energy

some might even call it excessive

Last two panels made me think of The Emperor's new Groove, "Oh right, the poison. The poison for Kuzco. The poison chosen specially for Kuzco. Kuzco’s poison." - Kronk
Maybe I need to watch something other than what my kids are watching.

Tofystedeth

Nah, Emperor's New Groove is good stuff.

Hell energy? Coming from Hell? Preposterous!

Bursar

If we can extract energy from Hell, eventually it might freeze over. And then think of all the possibilities that will occur when that happens!

I'm closing in on page 200 of 900 in the Cryptonomicon right now, weirdly enough, and son I can't wait to read them crazy ass poems you writin'!

I haven't played the game. Is the grey-haired guy wearing typical women's videogame "armor"? Because if so, :biggrin:

Well, the guy's a chick. So.

It doesn't really come off as anything remotely resembling bikini armor in-game. I'm not sure who would've wanted that, actually.

I'd just like to say I find it pretty amusing that Mike's coloring book features the Tycho pose wherein he declares he will be known as "the Neil Armstrong of Dog Fucking." Do not get this coloring book within 20 feet of children. I'm not sure how, but I'm pretty sure it will turn them to a life of depravity.

Was just about to say maybe nothing UAC straight cops to it in their advertising

If Hell existed, wouldn't it be better to drain as much energy as possible from it rather than just letting that energy just sit around somewhere where demons could do demonic things with it?

Now that's the kind of out-of-the-box thinking we at the UAC like.

Sounds like you could use a job with great benefits like accidental dismemberment insurance and an incredibly productive seven day work week.

Perhaps UAC is the right fit for you?

Like that, but instead of adding pitchforks you convert the ones that are already there to energy and drain them away for your own ends. Sure, some of your coworkers might get disemboweled, but it won't be by pitchforks, and that's really what matters here.

Steamboat Willey

Is it me, or does this sound a lot like the plot from Event Horizon?

basicrowan

The CEO of Argent looks a lot like the Mayor (voiced by Bruce Campbell) in Cloud with a Chance of Meatballs. Is that just me?
