Name Game: The Important Australians

[Geo Da Sponge]

I'm really annoyed with myself that I didn't immediately recognise Shanks. Doomsday Arcade is and always will be the best show on the Escapist, after all.

So happy birthday!

 

[AssassinJoe]

Oh... My... God!!!

I laughed when Saxton gave Alix a mustache!
Also...

Haven't seen Micheal Shanks that much any more. Happy birthday Mr. Shanks!

 

[chinangel]

my money is on Yahtzee: he has the imps.

 

[Orange Monkey]

Mann.Co! We sell guns and hit people

 

[VanQ]

I'm Australian and I approve of this message. Next time someone asks why I grow out a moustache (well, beard) I'll tell them it's for the heat of a thousand years of manly evolution. After all, it is almost winter down here.
Also, happy birthday Michael!

 

[Bloodstain]

Yahtzee, manly mustaches and Half-Life 2.
Awesome comic.

 

[antigodoflife]

Is that supposed to be Yahtzee?

He's British you know...

Yeah, but he lives in Australia, so he gets in on a technicality.

Well no, plenty of British movie actors live in America. That doesn't make them American.

A lot of New Zealand actors live in Australia like Russel Crow and Hugh Jackman they're Australian now and Nicole Kidman, she was born in Hawaii and she's totally Australian, we like to steal people, so Yahtzee is Australian.

Also, Australian Michael Shanks (not to be confused with Canadian Michael Shanks) you need to do something new, Doomsday Arcade was so good and we need a follow up series, I miss your brand of ... really... really bad... but so good, humour!

Sooo... who the hell is the guy in the green shirt and the dude that comes down from what I assume is heaven?

The green shirt guy is Micheal Shanks, he made the Doomsday Arcade series on this site (it's in the archives, go watch 'em). The other dude is none other than Saxton Hale, he's from the Team Fortress 2 universe, he's basically the Australian Chuck Norris, google him.

 

[aashell13]

Didn't Michael Shanks play Daniel Jackson on SG-1?
Also, Happy Birthday!

 

[Goldeneye1989]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANKS. You may be a bloody Mexican but your alright

I think if you survive in that alien, murderous, accursed wasteland for longer than a year you are officially Australian by destiny if not birth.

(I like Australia but playing up non-harmful stereotypes is fun)

You, stop stereotyping us Aussies, before I throw this croc at your face and rectally prove your gender with redback spiders.

Fair shake, mate?

 

[Russian_Assassin]

I'm going to be a dick and complain about something. Saxton Hale's chest hair are in the shape of Australia. You forgot to draw that!

 

[Azaraxzealot]

i don't think yahtzee would go THAT far over a copy of half life touched by gabe newell.

i know i wouldn't (unless to make PC elitists jealous)

but i was going to say... who's shanks?

 

[Wicky_42]

Awesome comic I didst laugh...

 

[Owlslayer]

Doomsday Arcade was so awesome...
And so are you, Michael. Happy Birthday!

 

[Megacherv]

Sooo... who the hell is the guy in the green shirt and the dude that comes down from what I assume is heaven?

Green shirt = Michael Shanks, one of the guys from Doomsday Arcade, who they're wishing happy birthday to

Not from heaven, from Australia = Saxton Hale, CEO of Mann Co., from the TF2 canon
