Erin Stout: Sage

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Some people don't get to learn that until they're adults. Erin is a saint.

Calvin & Hobbes did this, too:

The ultimate lesson: Never trust a self-centered *****.

Man, that last panel
You can feel the death of childhood

Kid is Kawaii <3

 

[Birdman1604]

What is the game they were playing? Can anyone make it out from the half screen?

 

[Amir Kondori]

I don't suppose Erin offers refunds?

Does EA?

You can just see the point where the girl's mind is blown.

This is kind of how I felt after Aliens: Colonial Marines preorder and actual playthrough.

Do not speak its name!!!!!

Also: good lesson. The final panel is heartwarming.

Let's all go pre-order some games.

Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.

And sometimes cruelty is its own reward! And in this instance, reward = $10.

Oh man, they referenced the song "I go chop your dollar" about 419 scams! My day is made. Thank you, Team Critical Miss.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Reminds me of a phrase that I haven't heard in donkey's years... 'Fleeced... like a wooly pully'!

Definitely relevant for this one...


Also, what game were they playing?

I also wanna know what they where playing, cause i feel like i should know it .-.

love that they broke out an old NES though

 

[Kelgair]

To paraphrase Dogbert, the first life lesson is always the cruelest.

Lesson: Deny Friendship, acquire profit.

 

[The Lugz]

SO many ways to interpret the 'ultimate life lesson,' I kinda like it.

 

[Something Amyss]

That is so adorable. And a valuable life lesson, too.

What is the game they were playing? Can anyone make it out from the half screen?

It's The Adventures of Bayou Billy for the NES. It actually came with a rarity that is Practice mode, which let you familiarize yourself with the game mechanics, which was driving, fighting, and shootouts, and two modes that you could choose depending if you had or wanted to use a Zapper. It's also has one of the most unique themes you'll find in the NES library, as the name suggests it's supposed to take place in the bayous of the deep South. Think Crocodile Dundee (part II if you know why) meets Dukes of Hazzard meets Commando. It's also got one of the best soundtracks as well, in order to match the uniqueness of the theme.

What's the tattoo on Erin's right back/shoulder?

And if I were that kid this lesson would have been learnt a long time ago...

Oh no! I'm not bitter about it or anything...

I don't really have antyhing to add to the conversation but I would just like to say that I keep seeing you among the first comments of a lot of Escapist videos and I admire that level of dedication. Also, your avatar makes me double over with adorableness.

 

[LetalisK]

...the fuck? I guess it took me a moment to figure out, and I'm still not sure about it, since I never had anyone ever pull that trick on me. You guys have lived with some assholes!

 

[I.Muir]

Here is your dlc?

Don't buy before seeing the product?

What exactly is the lesson here?
