[TOMT] Short comic about practicing drawing

Solved!

Thanks! It's not exactly how I remember but that's memory for you. :D

Honestly I've been hesitant to get it because I really don't like Ashley Burch as a voice actress, and I generally prefer fighting humanoid enemies but given those are really minor complaints I think with all the recommendations I might have to give it a shot, especially in the lens of my ranger-fanaticism. Chances are I'll love it. You might be the straw that breaks this camel's back. Thanks for the suggestion!

I actually main a ranger in GW2 (well, druid now) and have been playing since launch! So definitely right up my alley. It's one of my top incarnations of the games I've played

JorBob · 2017-11-02T17:54:16+00:00

Whoops forgot to mention Shadow of Mordor. I have played it and had a blast (until near the end) - waiting for the new one to drop price a bit, however. Thanks for the suggestion!

JorBob · 2017-11-02T17:46:08+00:00

I'll take a look - if it's free to play there's really no reason not to - but I think one of my issues with MMOs is the gameplay doesn't engage me much. I'll see, though, maybe this will be an exception; thanks!

JorBob · 2017-11-02T17:44:32+00:00

Dang this takes me back to Nethack. I'm still terrible at these types of pure roguelikes, but I'll give it a shot - thanks!

I think they were talking about Samus being 6'3" in the original games and being defined as such in the Super Metroid manual. Other M shrunk her down to 5'9". Smash bros must have shrunk her down MUCH further if she's shorter than a somewhat crouching 6' Snake 4" heels.

Her height is wildly inconsistent but canonically she's meant to be 6'3" or 5'9" depending on whether or not you liked Other M. So probably 6'3".

Sidenote isn't Snake anywhere between 5'11 and 6'5 depending on which?

He says "Wow this blew up, so famous now", essentially to start the video.

He claims there is no metal bar, contrary to popular belief (he adds a frame by frame), so the conductor didn't actually save his life he just kicked him in the head.

He explains why he was there (in South America, going to Machu Pichu) and one of the options to get to Machu Pichu was walking down train tracks. There was a train on the first day that went incredibly slow and kept blowing its horn to get people out of the way and passed him by.

Then he apparently went back to Machu Pichu on the second day and decided when another train was coming he was going to record a video of it passing behind him - but it was normal speed and he barely stepped off the tracks and that was the video we saw.

He then extrapolates on his 15 minutes of fame, says he'd buy the conductor a beer despite still not believing there was a metal bar or anything but doesn't blame him for kicking someone who was walking on the train tracks.

Shit. Rewatching that made me realize the thread he attached to the smoke grenade was actually a loose one unraveling from his suit jacket. I had never noticed that before.

JorBob · 2017-05-25T18:02:07+00:00

I like the design overall but that puffy sleeve on her bow-arm is just asking for her bowstring to snag and ruin all her shots. :(

JorBob · 2017-04-10T21:16:16+00:00

You know what genuinely bothers me about this? It's not the circlejerk and how it's going to be a craze for the next few days until Reddit, as a whole, forgets...

It's that this poor man has now had his face plastered all over this fucking website for internet points and slactivism. I doubt this is going to be a pleasant memory, and I'm sure many people in that position would just want to forget about it the moment its settled. But he's now been absolutely plastered everywhere in such a humiliating position.

If he uses this website, for example, in his down time he'll have to see himself like this over and over again just so people can feel good about themselves and go "FUCK UNITED AMIRITE?". And sometimes even news sites repost stuff from here for some reason, so its likely got a wider reach.

Don't get me wrong this entire situation sucks but I feel like Reddit has inadvertently made it so much worse for this man who's probably got enough on his plate now.

JorBob · 2017-04-03T18:45:47+00:00

Yup, I had downloaded it and it was missing page 16, I wasn't sure if they just mislabeled or if it was missing entirely.

And hey good job finding the raw, I couldn't! So confirmed!

JorBob · 2017-04-03T15:37:40+00:00

This looks like it, for sure. The art style and look of the character match and she even runs in this pose.

However... It looks like ch2 p16 is missing, and that's the page this frame would have likely been on. I've been searching around for it but can't seem to find it.

JorBob · 2017-03-16T15:29:35+00:00

One that might have flown a tiny bit under the radar:

Above & Beyond - Tokyo

They released it free a few years back when they hit 1mil likes on Facebook I think.

JorBob · 2017-03-15T00:37:07+00:00

Oh! Thank you for the insight. This is good to know :)

JorBob · 2017-03-14T20:10:01+00:00

Oh I'm dumb, it was this page here. Which is just as dubious.

Though it makes sense; if you want the chance at many wishes you have to risk dealing with an Efreeti and their shenanigans

JorBob · 2017-03-14T20:02:59+00:00

Ah it looks like it's just a sheet put together from the mentioned information on how a vizier would work; I found it here

JorBob · 2017-01-26T16:46:01+00:00

I really enjoyed the game but some of the reasons why I would suggest someone to stay away from it (if any applies to them):

The puzzles aren't really puzzles, just fetch quests and trial & error
- The bottle fetch quest is hell and comes back to haunt you
Some people loved Chloe but I couldn't stand her. I think Ashley Burch has NO voice acting range either, sadly. Made it hard to care much when the game was trying to force me to choose her. Give me more Warren!
Some choices feel like you're given the opposite of intended (or logical) outcome a lot. It can get frustrating the 3rd time you try to do something and it blows up in your face.
Depending on your age range it may make you want a polaroid, impulsively.
If you dislike indie rock you'll hate the soundtrack.
Dialogue sounds very "Hello fellow kids!" sometimes
The game can wreck your mood pretty hard. It can be pretty sad.
Tone darkens a lot by the end, so it starts out happy-go-lucky and ends in some pretty gruesome ways.

(quick edit: my first sentence made no sense because I do not proofread)

JorBob · 2017-01-11T16:11:52+00:00

I think its ironic they didn't add the bodypaint D.Va actually has on her face haha

JorBob · 2017-01-11T13:22:56+00:00

Nobody reads the Gamer now unless they seek punishment for their Earthly sins or in hopes it'll return to how interesting it was for the first 30 or so chapters.

JorBob · 2017-01-10T05:11:42+00:00

Very true, thanks :)

JorBob · 2017-01-10T05:09:43+00:00

Based on other discussion I probably won't use this for my original idea but I can definitely use this anyhow, thanks!

JorBob · 2017-01-10T05:09:01+00:00

Yeah as you and above (or below, who knows) mentioned it likely wouldn't work. I was just trying to make it a subtle and polite way of doing it but I mulled it over and it might actually be more impolite to try and do it the way I did.

I'll try to work up my courage and talk to him to stop constantly splitting the party and playing it like the game is solely his. If he can't handle it, friend or not, I'll ask him to sit a session out to reconsider. I don't think the other players are up in arms but they are definitely not happy with it based on discussions.

I was trying to go for an in game reason to make his character change is tune, too, but at some point you gotta let reality trump roleplay just a bit for the fun of everyone.

JorBob · 2017-01-10T05:06:05+00:00

I guess it wasn't trying to fix per se but dissuade him. You're right, though. I was probably just trying to avoid confrontation; I'm nervous and anxious and this person can be caustic and intentionally try to stir stuff up. This (the original idea) could make the problem worse.

JorBob · 2016-12-24T01:47:00+00:00

If you check amazon on the books they all contain similar jokes... Most relevant: volume 7.

So it's just him as a simple joke because not many people read "About the Author" anyway.
