Description
Based on a true story that happened on Saturday.

Basically, ~vzealotes and I were playing Robotech on the GC before we watched Session 9 (which was tres cool, by the way). After ~vzealotes got the hang of the controls the game was pretty close, until we discovered a fatal flaw in the game design. If you kill yourself in multiplayer, whether it be by your own missiles or by ramming a building at high speed, you are not penalised. You simply die and respawn with full health - your enemy gains no points and you lose none as well.

This quickly became ~vzealotes fave strategy - we would fight until he was on the verge of death, and then he would dive-bomb into a building, leaving me with no health and very annoyed. What I said in this comic is pretty accurate, while what ~vzealotes is saying is a rough approximation of his inane cackle. I didn't chuck the controller at him, but oh, how I wanted to.

Technical side - everything here is done in ballpoint, which explains the construction lines. All the panels except the last one were drawn during my COMP1100 lecture, which just goes to show that I haven't changed in the slightest since school. The final panel was done on the bus home, which means I have a damn good excuse for the sloppy perspective and linework. As for the blue lines- nothing much I can do about them.

Comments = Karma

PS - I have realised that I write far longer and more illuminating comments if I do them in Notepad first. Try it!

PPS - I have just noticed that my face in the last panel seems screwed up. That's because I tried to draw a little anime angry mark - you know, the popping vein - but slipped on the bus and merged it with the eye. So now it looks as if I've twisted my head around ala Exorcist.
