That illustration of a raccoon in the alien's book is absolutely adorable. :3

This strip got a lot better now that it isn't depressing as all fuck in her dingy apartment with no reason to live except her LSD induced imaginary friend.

I didn't think I would like this, but I do now.

I dunno, I know more than a few people who've gone through the 'crappy apartment, borderline depression, no interests except weed and gaming' phase. The focus of the earlier strips on the 'seedier' side of gaming addiction was uncomfortable, sure, but something that I'm guessing quite a few people could relate to.

OT: I can see Rad going all 'Pulp Fiction' with this whole raccoon thing. "Say raccoon again! Say raccoon again, I dare you!" :)

Wow... If that's how you say "Raccoon", then I wonder if it is different than saying "Panda"?

Other than that, these demands sounds too simple... They better not pull a Vader and "alter the deal" while telling them to "pray we don't alter it again"...

I told you you shouldn't have done all that cocaine and Apple Tango, Brian Cox. Now look at you - you'll never be Agamemnon again.

This remains enjoyable.

I also agree that the dictionary raccoon is cute, though it's probably a warning to be on guard for them.
The last one they met borrowed some guys leg and never gave it back.

Well, that's twenty times as fluent as *I* am in Alien, so kudos!
Love the glasses, very futuristic ;)

I could certainly see the appeal to a niche market that could provide, sure. But agoraphobia alone is something few people really grapple with. The type of issues she was depicted with go sort of beyond anything you seem to mention. It isn't borderline depression, it's severe depression with a laundry list of conditions including schizophrenia.

People can draw their own parts out of it if they want, sure. I remember a shitty apartment in a bad neighborhood that I didn't want to leave the place for my own safety. I remember spending way too much time gaming. But comparisons generally stop there with a lack of any drug addiction or severe hallucinations. Most of us know loneliness but not complete isolation either. Heck, anyone on this message board is at least aspiring to social interaction.

What kind of boss fight is this? One of those conversation mini-games from an RPG? I bet the next option Rad Panda will take is ->Eviscerate now.

You can't play Agamemnon in films after you look like that, man:



And that's not even a real f***ing Scottish dictionary either. The rage. The utter incandescent rage. Now I need a Carling.

Indeed, that's about as well I can understadn it. "Dude, I'm a red panda."

I think it's partially inspired by the Halo 4 boss cutscene/QTE
