  1. Things that you find baffling

    I never saw a full episode of either show, but I did hear that Xena was a villain (or at least an adversary) when she first appeared on Hercules. Perhaps that's where the "antihero" label comes from?

    And young kaiju. But that tends to be rough on the local buildings and infrastructure. Just young? Most fights between adult kaiju are territorial disputes, rather than for fun.
  3. This Day In History

    Because some people like to pretend their pets came off an assembly line? ...Considering the health problems many pure-breed dogs and cats have, perhaps it would be better for everyone involved if those people just bought robot "pets".
  4. This Day In History

    But do they need to say "eh" in almost every sentence? In some fields of science, it's practically a requirement that things have snappy and/or easy to remember names. If they couldn't come up with an acronym, they might have just called it "Iris" anyway.
  5. Things that make you sad.

    I hope so too. No one witnessed the fall; she was found a few hours later. I really hope she was unconscious the entire time. After they got her to the hospital she was sedated, and later given morphine, so I suppose from that point on she was as comfortable as possible under the circumstances.
  6. Things that make you sad.

    She's passed. I've spent so much time preemptively mourning her over the last couple of days that now I'm to emotionally drained to feel much additional sadness, though I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it hits me again. In the mean time though, it's at least a little bit of a relief to know that it's over.
  7. Things that make you sad.

    My grandmother is in the hospital after falling down her cellar stairs and hitting her head badly; she's not expected to make it. The timing is particularly cruel too (not that any time would have been a good time). She lives a good four hour drive away, so we were usually only able to see each other a few times a year; our next visit was going to be next week, and we had recently been talking about how we were both looking forward to it...

    http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/gam-05 It's an epic battle of epicness! Or not. Oh, and yay for starburst background in panel one!
  9. Story Monday June 18, 2018

    I look exactly like my avatar. It's my real world body that doesn't look like me.

    Art style change. He does still have a bit of a wrinkle under the eye, though.
  11. Video Game Discussion 4

    When I was a child, I had a hard time understanding what other people were thinking and feeling, and went out of my way to correct this by consciously thinking about how other people think and what it would be like to be in their shoes. I still have a bit of trouble figuring out what to expect from people I just met, but with enough information I can usually put together in my head an approximation of just about anyone else's mind that at least makes sense to me (whether it's truly accurate is something I can't really know) - and I can even do it with people I really dislike or whose views I strongly disagree with.

    Yes, but sometimes it's fun to ignore the MST3K mantra and try to figure out answers to questions the original creator(s) never intended to answer. In my Grace-a-Monsters head-canon, Monster Professor George is a lot older than he looks (and canon George), and really is old enough to be grandfather to a teenager. And I figure that in the in-game story, George's "grandson" has always had the name the player gives them; Bubbles complaining about it is just a breaking of one level of fourth-wall. (Mind you, an explanation that didn't require fourth-wall breaking would be even more fun.) A simple option that doesn't require this lighthearted parody to delve into deep gender issues. I like it.

    What I want to know is, is this a World that doubles as a cup, or is it a cup that you put worlds in?
  14. Video Game Discussion 4

    Ah, but bullying people you don't know and can't even see the faces of means you hardly have to put any effort at all into dehumanizing them! Plus, to someone who feels the need to assert their dominance over others, being able to affect hundreds or thousands of people at once must be quite a rush.
  15. What's the Moperville South Team Name and Mascot?

    I do more or less agree with this - however sometimes while who/what the mascot is was chosen out of respect, the mascot design itself is offensive. Oddly enough I've never heard the suggestion that they just change the design without changing who/what it represents... Personally, I find them rather boring looking.
  16. Character Alignments

    Pandora seems to shift between Chaotic Evil, Chaotic Neutral, and Chaotic Good depending on the situation and her mood. It does seem like her "good" tendancies are mostly concerned with her family and those she's taking a liking too, while her "evil" side is more mischievous than malevolent, so I'm thinking it would all even out to Chaotic Neutral.
  17. NP Wed June 13th 2018

    So, this is a comic depicting a fictional video game, a video game that has it's own internal story. Dan presumably had Bubbles as Professor George's grandson because it's funny (although knowing Dan it's also possible he'll explore some gender-identity issues too). The "game" was likely programmed to have George call Bubbles that due to an overly rigid script and/or the programmers failing to account for all the possible choices the player could make. But, within the world represented by the game (and ignoring that it's probably not "supposed" to be that way), why does George's "grandson" look like a girl? Is she a trangender boy? A transgender girl who has transitioned? Or is the situation something more elaborate and unusual?
  18. Character Alignments

    I figured that Dan got rid of the move because he decided he didn't want Elliot to have repressed anger. Sorry, never heard of it.
  19. Story Wednesday Jun 13 2018

    Considering that they were called in to investigate a paranormal incident, the two CSI: Moperville agents we saw working for Mr. Verres are likely magic-users.
  20. NP Monday June 11, 2018

    Sometimes.
  21. NP Monday June 11, 2018

    Why is it dangerous? (The only danger I can think of is Nintendo's overzealous defense of their copyrights, but with all the different ways of talking about the comics these days, just keeping people from saying it on the forums isn't going to help much with that.)
  22. NP Monday June 11, 2018

    Nah, that's just clever marketing.
  23. Friday June 8, 2018

    My headcanon is that she fired the beam that knocked the Golem out the window from her mouth.
  24. Friday June 8, 2018

    Oh, I missed that. (I usually skip over reading the links section of the commentary, as I assume I remember the comic well enough I don't need a recap.) I prefer EGS with dragons in it's past, though, so I'm going to continue having that as my headcanon until and unless it is conclusively proven the main world never had dragons (or at least there's an in-comic explanation for that flashback). Of course, that doesn't mean the scale is from a dragon (although if you go with the "any big reptile" definition it probably is, as the only other likely option would be a big fish).
  25. Friday June 8, 2018

    My understanding is that the Chinese words for "dragon" and "dinosaur" are the same, due to large dinosaur bones having always been called dragon bones there. Then there's Komodo Dragons... So really, there's precedent for using the term "dragon" to refer to any large reptile, regardless of if it can breath fire or has any known magical powers. Either Pandora can travel between worlds, or there were dragons (or something that looks like a dragon and can shoot fire) back in Blaike's day.
