Okay, so Metroid Prime is out now.
Will it be a Metroid game... will I be disappointed... will it be any good whatsoever?
At this point we were faced with a difficult decision. Finish this strip, or play Metroid Prime until our fingers bled. And with all due respect. Fuck you all.

After a blast of powerful solar radiation owing mostly to the depleted ozone layer, I find myself able to fly with great speed through the sky...
...over the oceans...
...faster than the speed of thought.
Hey, Dipshit, wake up right now or you're fucking fired.

Hello Class, and welcome to English 251. Also known as Intro to Fiction, with a focus on short stories.
Now, I know the course description states that we will be focusing on short stories. But I think we should start with a little poetry and, if we have time, tackle pure fiction later in the year...
Now, I'd also like to mention that my newly published book, "How to Write Poetry" has now become available at the on-campus bookstore...

Dude, I can't believe it, Namco's remaking some game called Sinistar for the Playstation 2.
Kid.... if you only knew...
Apparently they signed some sort of deal with stripcreator.com or something...
RUN COWARD!

That kid's been staring at me for almost half an hour... maybe I should say something...
Then again, maybe I should run...

Hi Folks, Cthulhu here. Today on "This Old One" we're going to be taking a look at various souls and determining what might be called an 'order of entree'.
"For example, I find that the best way to open any meal is with an appetizer. The soul of a retarded person is excellent. For your main course, you'll probably want the purest soul you can find..."
"...and of course, when dessert time comes, never forget to look to your own worshippers. Often the finest meals come from close to home... Soul devouring... It's a good thing."

I guess it's a rule or something that everyone makes at least one default comic.
Yeah, at least, we're pretty sure.
Or maybe we're just being conformist.
I thought you were a Taoist?

Hey there, chicken-dude, can I ask you a question?
Let me guess. Why did I cross the road?
Hey, uncool, how did-
I must have been asked that question more often than Colonel Sanders... so that's it. Once and for all I'm going to SHOW you dorks why I crossed the road.
Heh... cool.

Hey, baby!
Oh, christ....
There's a flick playing over at the Omniplex I think you'll enjoy. Say... eight o'clock?
Sorry but I don't think you're my type.
Type, nothing. I'm your font-asy baby...
Why can't people like you just die?

Hello ladies and gentlemen, no doubt by now you're aware that advancing technology causes human cloning to look more and more plausible each day.
Naturally, we here at Penny Arcade would like you to know that while it may some day be deemed acceptable by the masses, we will never accept such an affront to nature.
Who, that? Oh. That's just Tycho... uh... yeah.

Mmm... nachos...
Behold! I am the magical mystical powerful TIKI-GOD!
What the fu-
Behold the mighty Tiki-God, I am here to grant you three wis-... Is that a Nacho cart over there?
Uh, yeah, I was about t-
SCORE!

Alright, the mail!
Mr. Stickman, we regret to inform you that your services will no longer be required. It has come to out attention that all strips featuring you has ended the same. You will be replaced immediately.
So, what am I supposed to do now?
Pound the nail into your skull and bleed a little bit.

Somewhere in the Abyss...
Here man, I got this for you. It's your very own copy of the Necronomicon by Abdul Alhazred.
Ah, jeez, Luc... you know how I am about my birthday...
"And that is not dead, which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons, even Death may die."
Yo. Your time has come.
...well fuck me....

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler, long I stood, and looked down one as far as I could, to where it bent in the undergrowth;
then took the other, as just as fair, and having perhaps the better claim, because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there had worn them really about the same,
and both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh, somewhere ages and ages hence; Two roads diverged in a wood, and I... I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
Man that's deep...
What's deep?

Oh my God! The plane's crashing! We're all gonna die!
What on Earth are you babbling about?
See, we're in a plane, and the roof came off, hence, we're plummeting like fucking stones!
Actually, we aren't necessarily in an airplane. I know that it looks that way, but we could very well be in a movie theater in the middle of a tornado or something.
You know, just because you don't like the airplane background doesn't mean the reader has to suffer.
Bite me, you miserable little Bender clone.

Gregor, don't forget you have work tomorrow!
Work sucks... that's it, I'm going to bed.
After a night of unsettling dreams...
Well... shit...

"High Flight" by John Gillespie Magee
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds, and done a hundred things you have not dreamed of, wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung my eager craft through footless falls of air... Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, nor eer eagle flew-- And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod the high, untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of God.
You touched my what now?

Okay kid, just gimme a couple seconds to set-up and then we'll take your picture, and you can take that mask off, okay?
I really don't think that's a good idea.
Okay, here we go, you can take your mask off now.
uh... okay, if you're sure...
Okay, maybe that wasn't such a good idea...

Okay, just so we're clear, I'm up for anything that seems at least semi-watchable.
Ok, sure sure... how about "Porky's"?
Maybe not. We could get "The Shawshank Redemption" or "The Apartment". Oh, look! They have "The General" on DVD!
Black and white films suck. Maybe we should get "Last Action Hero", it has Arnold in it, it can't be bad!
Maybe when I open my eyes he'll be gone...
Ooh! Look Angie! They have "The Swarm" on VHS! We've got to rent it!

So, my old nemesis, Mr. Computer... we meet again.
This time I shall tame thee, foul beast of the electronic world!
Okay, that didn't work. Maybe I should try and find that manual next time...

I've done it! I've created the world's first fully autonomous Robot!
Most impressive, Dr. Tudemgud, but what is the Robot's purpose?

Now we must face the long dark of Moria...
A wizard, is never late, Frodo Baggins. And nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to...
The Ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom, and only there can it be unmade...

Hey! Marie? Where'd you go?
Crap, he's still following me. Time to try a different tactic...
Perfect, he'll never recognize me now.
Hey, dude, did you see a hot chick come by here? I think she was wearing a vest or something... she had big knockers though.
Uh... I think she jumped off that cliff over there...

 

by Devlin
10-08-02
Oh crap, he's coming back, I think I'll need a different disguise.
Hey, Mac, I didn't see her off any cliff, you sure that's what you were talking about?
Sorry, who were you talking to?
Wha... but that guy... he was right here!

Okay. Calm, cool, collected, you deserve this job, you've got a degree damnit!
So what makes you think you've got what it takes to work here?
My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die.
I can only assume this awkward pause is a good sign.

Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen
Understand, Mr. Darcy, that were my sister not ill from the rain I would never stay here, as you are a bastard.
Know also, Ms. Bennett, that I would not willingly stand near you, as you are a stuck up bitch.
I love you.
Marry me.

The Wheel of Time, by Robert Jordan
Rand al'Thor, I know you've been a farmer your whole life, but there's something you should know.
What's that Moiraine?
You're the savior of the world.
Well great, now my brain is broken.
