Silly people. Don't you remember anime death sequences 101? When a person is knocked around fiercely, and are very quickly subdued, this is just giving them time to get REALLY pissed off.
I would also like to point to Lain's sword. Now, you may have noticed, earlier on it broke. Having a sword today is NOT us fucking up on the job. Rather, Lain's sword functions based on his will. The man was doubting himself earlier, so his sword was weak. This caused it to break. However, he has new resolve to kick ass, so it is now reforged.
Yeah, I know, crazy voodoo magics. Everyone loves a paladin!
My cohort had to rant for me last week. Seeing as I am in the home stretch of my time here at Auburn, they have decided to fuck with me on as many levels as possible. That's alright, I'll be sure to extract my revenge in some personal way. It will either involve a small controlled fire, or possibly feces in a place where feces do not belong. I'll cross and burn that bridge when I get to it.
My cohort mentioned a little game called Meteos in his rant last week. Fucking awesome game, might I add. I wanted to note here though that the thing I find most fantastic about the game is the music.
Each level has its own music, a little riff that plays as you go. As you shoot up your blocks, it makes a dramatic little noise thing, and the falling blocks also make their own little noise that serves to add to the music. As your blocks get higher and higher, the music because faster and more intense. It really gives a sense of urgency to these blocks that the screams of tortured children only accent like little dallops of frosting on the top of the Meteos cake.
I would also like to make a suggestion, if only for your own good. If you are a T-Mobile user, and enjoy gaming, and see that they have Galaga for download – do not download this atrocity. It will not serve you well in your endeavors. What it WILL do for you is waste six of your human dollars to play a game that literally moves at one frame per second.
For those of you who know how fast paced the gameplay of galaga is SUPPOSED to be, then you surely understand how infuriating this could be.
There is a picture over at Penny Arcade that makes me drool to no end. Check out the NES games on display near the bottom. SOMEONE out there is winning that. That pile of awesome is going to somebody's home. That's going to be sitting on someone's MULTIPLE shelves at home. I'm jealous, I admit. Fuck, if I had the money I'd have signed up for PAX PURELY so I could get my hands on that shit. There is now a little puddle on my shirt, that formed as I stared at it with a half-smile for about twenty minutes, imagining that adorning my own gaming mecha. A man can dream.
A man can also dream about getting a direct link from Penny Arcade, but this is the sort of thing that will never happen (nudge nudge hint wink). | |

Really, as far a looking at this particular strip for the first time, it looks like he pulled this new sword from it's holster somewhere hidden on his back. His faceplate coming off looked like a repurcussion of this. I mean, think about it, why would you take off your facial protection when fighting a 50-foot zombie/skeleton thing? It don't not make no sense! | |

Because you dumb bastards* are confused:
1- Lain's sword DOES form and reform based on his will and convictions, etc etc. I wanted to devote a comic to showing this but couldn't figure out how. I probably will in passing sometime soon. The sword reformed between the "sword breaks" and "Lain dies" comics, not between now and the previous. He only has the one sword.
2- I really don't like drawing Lain's faceplate helmet that much, especially over his entire face like that; I always had to do something weird with that stupid tuft of hair to show his left eye from the side. But we'll just say it was about to break anyway (well look at the cracks, man!!).
*"Bastards" can mean a number of things, which may or may not be positive at the time of writing this. Please don't go away. We love you. You have money. Money you can give to us. We love you, Jane. | |

Sweet mother of...whoa. Lain kicks ass! Sweet!
That's all I can really say for now. Maybe more next time. Keep it up! | |
| |
| |
I don't see why it's so hard to believe that a sword can respond to it's users Faith in themselves, etc. I mean, c'mon! A sword that can go through anything because it's user has absolute confidence?! It's fuckin' awesomeness!
...... I so want one of those..... | |

What did I say? did I call it or did I call it....wait that's the same option... baka | |
