A hospital drama with videogame references that takes place in canada? SIGN ME UP.

but in all seriousnes Im a little confused what going on here.
It looks like the crash gave Erin some brain damage and she's seeing videogame characters everywhere. I think this is meant to be a piece on that study that was recently released on videogamers and how sometimes people will correlate reality to a videogame, or see game items and objects in real life.

Either way, this is making me chuckle a bit, but I'm really worried for Erin and the gang. :(
What made them crane the car like that? From the looks of it Eliot was behind the wheel...

All she has to do is head back to her House and take it easy for a couple days.

I was guessing she was at/on her way to a con of some sort, hence the cosplaying link that they crashed into (or crashed into them). Yes, she was a little confused when she woke up, probably not remembering the accident and being a little thrown seeing link. She may be hallucinating a bit with the pikmin.

So I guess she's hallucinating and seeing video game characters? Let's hope one of the more murderous characters doesn't show up. Also, I love that dress. Where can I get one?
If the murderous characters do show up that could be interesting. Not that I want harm to come to her. Maybe the good characters have to fight the bad ones to save her?

Also, I hope they tell us how the crash happened.

So wait, this comic actually has a plot now? And here I thought it was just a series of nonsequeter references of popular games released at the time. :D

Repeated. Hopefully the artists are alright, though. If they (hopefully) are, I see some kind of surreal Doomsday Arcade/Critical Miss crossover...they're invading, and she's having visions of it coming!

The blonde is Sharon, their bitchy boss (whom nobody is happy to see), and the guy in blue shirt and red tie is Ashley, a co-worker.
Ashley is specifically an asshole co-worker, so nobody is happy to see either of them.

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that Erin's always had a tattoo of the Triforce on her left arm.
Yes, she has always had the triforce tattoo on her wrist. Also a little star and rainbow one on her thigh.

I kinda just realized last week that I hadn't read the earlier comics, so I ran through the entire archive. These details are still fresh in my memory as a result. Kinda makes me want to see the hospital's reaction if Charles tries to visit Elliot and Erin in the hospital, seeing as Charles is a bear (with a degree from Harvard Law).

It is mostly a series of non-sequitur game references, but within a framework where Erin is a game journalist, so she has co-workers, a boss, and a best friend/roommate (not entirely certain what Mollicent is). Occasionally storylines crop up, like "Children of Steam"/"God Emperor of Steam," and the creators did give us warning in the notes below the strip before this arc began that a storyline was about to begin.

is there gonna be one of those strips where the character rediscovers there love of video games after become a bit amnesica coz its shaping up that way seeing as how she doesnt recognise a pikmin.
That or she's just confused at seeing one crawling over her wrist...

Also, it's been a while since I saw it, and I only played a tiny bit, so I may be completely wrong here, but does the first comic in this arc remind anyone else of the beginning of Eternal Sonata?

'Course, the only basis for that is the Triforce symbol
She's always had that. It's a tattoo she has. If you look in other comics you can see it there too.

As much as I loved the random comics about whatever game you happened to make fun of, these continuation ones make me so much more eager to read them. Can't wait for the next one!

I'd hate to reiterate a point made in the last page's comments, but where is her favored fancy rat Suchong?

I have my Hawkeye on you, if I notice anything strange I'll have to Radar it in to HQ.

OT: This is a weird arc tbh, was it Elliot who was driving then?

Is your reason for existence to make puns? If so, congrats, you have earned the life time achievement award for making those dying breed of jokes.

Why do I get the feeling of dread that I normally get right before someone reveals they have amnesia on TV?
