    Boring comic, it's like they did a banner ad on commission and then accidentally uploaded it to the site.

    Yeah, I like what's there for this comic, but it needs more. Maybe if there had been some backgrounds that changed from Monopoly board, to fantasy monopoly board, to rape-and-pillage fantasy monopoly board.

    You know, this description is surprisingly close to the old Solarquest board game. Replace "fantasy" with "sci fi" and you've pretty much got it.

    It aways amazed me how I could dig a hole that deep into my hand and never have it bleed. It's like the friction was cauterizing the wound as it being made or something.

    Good times.

    The worst thing was I don't know about anyone elses N64 controller but on mine the grey plastic that the analog stick was made of had long started to shave off and turn into this poisonous looking white powder gently dusting the entire surface of the pad.

    I kept thinking 'if I breathe this in by mistake am I going to have a lung amputated'.

    According to the book, Monopoly: The World’s Most Famous Game & How It Got That Way and The Monopoly Companion, Mr. Monopoly has a second nephew named Randy, although it should be noted the Monopoly Companion mistakenly refers to Sandy as a boy.

    Yes, it is important

    Wow, this is the first truly poor comic in a long time. I know folks like to talk shit about the comics every time, but this one really is just a punchline stretched across three panels.

    I hope there's a podcast :lol:

    I liked it. Seeing Pennybags in armor is a fun visual gag. Not a particularly deep strip, but good for a chuckle.

    If this is anything like the Wii game, LD, it's so worth it.

    My wife says I'm not allowed to buy any more games until I play the 8 I bought for the hospital and didn't stat yet
    I want the Arkham Asylum that comes with a batarang that I just found out about 3 minutes ago
    Name the 8. Or are they all for the Wii? :P

    The Wii only has 6 games.

    Munchkin is more of

    "I can choose to be a total bastard"


    Monopoly is like

    "Tis my game-piece and die rolls which make me a bastard!"

    okay, now who would like to talk about ISPs

    It'd be like if Monopoly said to collect up to $200 when you passed go and then only gave you $5.

    nuh uh it would be more like if you landed on Free Parking but then there's a $5 service fee

    I know this isn't what you're talking about but anyone who doesn't play $500+fees goes to whoever lands on free parking is a no-fun sonuvabitch

    free means free you don't get extra shit for landing there you are not smarter than the Parker Brothers you are messing up the game

    Anybody who doesn't play "fees go to free parking" is a goddamn commie rat

    are there other wacky rules that some people apply to monopoly?

    If you get the dark purple or light blue monopoly and become the slum lord of the board, you can trade sexual favors for rent if people don't have the cash to pay you.

    seeing as the only time I have played Monopoly it has been in familial situations that has a bizarre incestual undertone to it that oh my God Google is going to label this post as "incestuous Monopoly rules".
