Barrens Chat: Dead ringer
I don't have much to say with this comic this week, thank goodness. With a two page reaction paper due tomorrow, and two exams Friday, I greatly enjoyed the time I took from my week to sit down and do this comic. With that said, I would like to send out a sincere "I'm sorry for your loss" to the five of you whom have recently (read as: within the last month) experienced something similar with a very different piece of hardware. At least that made one of you turn your World of Warcraft subscription back on.
Anyways, have you ever wondered what it would be like if things in Word of Warcraft worked the way they did in real life? Like if for instance some large corporation made your Mechanostrider instead of that nice little Milli Featherwhistle? You could be minding your own business, enjoying a nice breeze from running through Nagrand when, Bam!
What do you think? Have you ever just thought about something like that? Standing there one day being shocked back to life and thinking "Gee, what if these jumper cables malfunctioned?" Maybe it's just me, but when I see my Engineering friend zooming around in his Turbo-Charged Flying Machine while I'm stuck on my poor, unflying kodo, I sometimes giggle at the thought of him crashing.
At least he's not our healer.
Barrens Chat is being devious this week, while the author enjoys picking fun at those unfortunate enough to experience the one of the many rings men (and women) fear most. Past victims have been shockingly few, however not all innocents were spared. Come back next week for a new comic!

One of the neat things about the gyro is that the blades stall every once in a while. You don't fall (the rockets take up the slack), but it definitely give it the feel of WoW engineering.
BTW, I enjoy your comics. Don't listen to the idiots who keep telling you to quit.

I'm not an idiot. I'm an intelligent young man who just doesn't like the humor that passes in this comic. However, I understand that I need to say more to back up my criticism towards this comic I'm at a loss as to what I can say that can be considered constructive.
I can say something like "Meg's got a good drawing hand but her humor is really lacking. I'm sure if she did something else, it would be better because it's really too late for RRoD jokes in WoW". That's about as generous as I'd want to get, now I need to soak in a tub of industrial strength cleaner.

I HAAAAAAAAATE Mechanostriders with a passion. Noisy, rickety things.

It looks like Milli's boobs are showing... >.>

I mean, I get the idea of the comic, and I do think they're good, it's just that you sure did use a pretty similar tone for the bottom of her shirt and her skin... :P

That's why you should've bought a Nintechno Wiistrider.

Best news ever! Ever since I transferred my gnome warrior off Frostmourne when BC hit I've regretted it, and now I can finally go back *glee*
