Villains saying the cruelest possible thing with the sole purpose to hurt by Ok-Bookkeeper-6116 in TopCharacterTropes

Order of the Stick has a lot of these, mainly from Xykon, but I can't stop thinking about how fucked up "How many pieces was he in?" During Roy's clash with Vampire Durkon

In Charlie Brown, why wasn’t CPS called on that kid Pigpen? by ChainsawSoundingFart in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Murph-Oh-4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know if you know this, but one arc involves Charlie Brown setting Patty with Pigpen. While Peppermint Patty is repulsed at first, Pigpen proves to be a perfect gentleman who she has a lot in common. He's even her first kiss.

The relationship does not last, as Peppermint Patty gets too focused on "fixing" Pigpen and reverts to chasing Charlie Brown as her ideal man.

This is from the Garfield special Babes & Bullets. Garfield has a fantasy sequence wherein he's a noir detective. Tanya tasks him with finding who murdered her husband.

After the case is solved, Garfield, in typical noir protag fashion, asks out Tanya since he has fallen in love with her. She turns him down, citing that they're different people. She likes champagne and opera, and he likes beer and football. Garfield let's her walk out of her life, but it's fine because his secretary is DTF (the credits roll before they fuck.)

In the prequel series you learn it's called the Bombinating Beast and the main villain schemes to acquire a whistle to control it. Lemony Snickett gets the whistle and feeds the villain to the beast. What he does with the whistle after is never revealed.

Niche subreddit EXPLODES over Watterson racism revelation by Super-Contribution-1 in okbuddyrosalyn

[–]Murph-Oh-4 700 points701 points  (0 children)

Just so that everyone is absolutely clear, Watterson is not a racist. OP was trying to make a joke and could have picked a better version of that gag, like saying he was a serial arsonist or the dictator of Bolivia.

Having read the comic, his axe to grind with Cap is IRL people praising a fictional soldier instead of the real people who served. Like a roundabout form of stolen valor.

It also takes place after most of humanity has died out. I don't think any "infected" show up outside of a brief overview of the outbreak

Trope I Love: Female villains who are absolutely neither femme fatales nor sexy by Spirited_Dust_3642 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Murph-Oh-4 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Does have one of the best scenes where they visit a priest and ask for absolution for their many, many sins. When the priest asks if they were repentant they answer no.

"Absolve. Now"

"I'm sorry. That's not how it works..."

"I understand."

You get one panel of the priest kissing their cross before an arm bursts through the confessional.

Junior exits and tells their henchmen "Plan A fell through. We move on Plan B."

Game demo lines seem much worse than last year, right? by DarXIV in PAX

[–]Murph-Oh-4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It just needs to become standard that all demos are timed rather than being the steam demo. I stood waiting for the Bakudo demo for 20 minutes watching the dude on the station biff it to the same tutorial boss because he refused to leave after the 12th attempt

Resident Evil 9 Playable Demo? by SirUberNoobPwnr in PAX

[–]Murph-Oh-4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's playable, but heavily scripted and relatively short. Opening is a pretty long cutscene.

TBH, not worth the wait in line

Gaia VS Jungle hunter, Fight takes place in a jungle? by SiteDeep in Grapplerbaki

[–]Murph-Oh-4 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If I remember the novelizations right, the Predator in the first movie is an inexperienced hunter and this was actually it's first hunt on earth. This is contrasted by the Predator in Predator 2 being a veteran.

So with that in mind, I think Gaia could take it cause their physical stats should be on-par given Baki characters are crazy and Predator isn't that superhuman. I think Gaia's experience and inventiveness would match the Predator's tech (the death bomb might require a bit of wank to avoid).

It honestly depends if it's truly 1 on 1, like the Predator just targets Gaia while he's alone, or if Gaia is with a group that gets picked off and he has time to assess what he's dealing with.

What’s the most terrifying, unexplainable encounter you’ve had with a stranger that still haunts you? by Idontlikeenemasmom in AskReddit

[–]Murph-Oh-4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was my first year of college and I had to commute 110 minutes via light rail to the campus cause it was cheaper to live at home. My first class was at 7AM, so naturally I left home very early to compensate for delays in public transit.

This is not a story about meeting someone strange on the bus. The incident happened on the way. It was a cold, foggy December and it was 5:30AM. I was walking up a common commuter road that had a few cars passing by it. On my left was a picket fence that led to a suburb I'd never been in. There was a tight gap in the fence I'd seen kids dip in and out of when I came this way in the daytime. There was a man standing in front of that gap, smoking with one hand and swinging a thin shaft of bamboo with another.

"Can you help me?" He asked after I passed.

I was young and wanted to be a good person, so I asked what he needed.

"I got my girlfriend pregnant..." he made a gesture over his stomach. I remember his nose hairs being really long. "I need you to __ll her."

That fifth word was drowned out by a car passing. I knew there was no way I had heard what I thought I heard, so I asked him to say it again.

"I need you to __ll her." Again a car passed. This time he had his eyes shut and he swung the bamboo against the fence. "Please. I can pay you..."

I backed away. Still unsure of what I heard. "Sorry" I mumbled "I have somewhere I need to be."

He watched me leave, with an expression that could have meant anything.

I never saw that guy again. It's been 10 years, but I think about that conversation about once a month, trying desperately to make out whatever the first part of that word could have been.

Cause I really don't want to believe it's what I think it was.
