Whenever the conversation stops after I post a message with a link, I wonder if everyone clicked the link and the site I linked to somehow made their computer stop working.

@AndyD273 Youre on a list of people they won't sell one to.
 
@James That's why I'll shave my goatee as a disguise. That will tell them I'm the non-evil version.

Wow, I didn't know they were non-evil people in WorldBuilding. I though all of us were mad scientist, sorcerers and such.
 
@Kepotx Well, that's why I need a disguise
 
@Kepotx Mad Scientist? How dare you? I'll have you know I am a Mad Alchemist!
 
I'm just a mad (angry) programmer.
 
well, IT is part of science. Also, when we fix our parents computers, they see us as a wizard
 
Nah, they just see us as wrecking their setup. :P

@Gryphon Are they one of those people that hits CTRL with their thumb?
 
4:02 PM
@AndyD273 There are people who do that? Why?
 
@Gryphon I don't know. I actually only know of one person. A guy that goes by Mumbo Jumbo who plays Minecraft on youtube has talked about how he hits either CTRL or shift with his thumb. I can only imagine that he has freakishly long thumbs...
 
@AndyD273 Maybe you bend your thumb under the rest of your hand and hit it with the top of your thumbnail. I can sorta do that on my keyboard.
Works for ctrl, but I can't reach shift.
 
I'm getting a hand cramp just by looking at it
There are more of them

But... you have a pinky finger for a reason!
 
4:40 PM
@Gryphon Yeah, for promises obviously.
 
@Gryphon for tea drinking?
 
5:03 PM
@AndyD273 Whatever you say Elan.
...have you read order of the stick?
www.giantitp.com
 
@James Yep. I just wish it updated more frequently.
 
@Gryphon Yeah he has slowed down alot the last couple years, but after what...2k strips I can see how that would happen.
 
@James It's only like 1.2k, but that's still pretty insane. Especially given how long the strips are.
 
@Gryphon @AndyD273 is Nale.
@Gryphon There are quite a few double strips in there too.
 
@James Most of the time I feel like Roy. Then occasionally I snap and temporarily become Belkar.
 
5:26 PM
@James Heard of it, haven't read it much. Any advice on where to start?
Oh, found the start
 
5:59 PM
@Gryphon It might have been a bit silly but I was hoping for something at strip #1000. Nada. I don't think he even did a news post.
@AndyD273 It's good. Read it. Until they get out of the dungeon it wanders around as a gag strip with no story or real characters, but he does an excellent job of retroactively weaving a plot in.
It's my second favorite webcomic.
 
6:21 PM
@NexTerren What's your favourite webcomic?
 
http://www.samandfuzzy.com/new-reader

It's got a ninja mafia, robotic death teddy bears, dinos with monocles and suits, and a pretty snarky but not sardonic sense of humor.
 
I like Schlock Mercenary. The worldbuilding is quite good, though there is currently a lot of parallel plot threads happening currently... I'm kind a hoping they focus it down a bit. But they have been publishing a brand new comic every single day since June 12, 2000, without missing a day.
 
Link?
 
artwork starts out a bit rough, but gets polished up fairly quickly
 
Added it to my RSS feed.
Ha, same for Sam & Fuzzy. In fact he suggests you skip his first few hundred comics.
Is there a good place to start with Schlock Mercenary?
 
6:30 PM
@AndyD273 It took forever, but I finally finished the whole Schlock Mercenary archive a few months ago.
 
@Gryphon me too
@NexTerren He has this note: "If this is your very first visit to Schlock Mercenary you might consider starting with the Force Multiplication story. It's great! Then again, if you start here at the very beginning you'll get to watch my artwork evolve from bad to, well, marginally less bad. It's your call. Thanks for clicking in!
So I did that; started with Force Multiplication, got caught up to current, then looped back around and started at the beginning.
Once I started over a lot of references suddenly made sense, so there is a strong case for starting at the beginning.
But I also didn't feel lost when I started half way through, so it might not matter all that much either
 
7:06 PM
@AndyD273 At the very beginning.
There's a joke about being naked making you better at sneaking like 25 strips in that is HI-larious.
 
@James past that already.
 
@AndyD273 If you just started today I do not suggest trying to get through them all in one day...there are lots
@AndyD273 Anyway there's a bit with Elan's evil twin brother (not the first appearance) and you will understand why I brought this up in the first place.
 
@James heh, ok. I probably wont try to do it all in one day, but each one is short so a few at a time.

IncognitoHow can you develop a plague/virus that targets a specific group of people? A domestic terrorist organization has come to light due to recent terror attacks that they claim responsibility for. This group has developed a biological weaponized plague that attacks the nervous system of an individua...

 
@Feeds4026 I feel like this question has been asked already...

That does sound pretty familiar

A: How can guns be countered by melee combat without raw-ability or exceptional explanations?

MephistophelesRavenholm from Half-Life 2 is the microcosm of the best justifications for melee weapons. Why? Limited supplies: Supplying your army with ammunition, weapons, mangas, and everything they need to fight is a pain in the a, and WAY too common to be ignored in almost any setting. Throughout Ravenho...

 
@Mephistopheles Where do you find the katana in HL2?
I preferred the giant saw blade...
 
9:24 PM
@AndyD273 You can always open the map up in gmod...
 
but if you're going to do that, why not just edit in half a million .50 cal rounds?
 
Because where's the fun in that?

@Mephistopheles Exploding things.
