Previously On Critical Miss

[Quiet Stranger]

This comic just wants me to get into the same kind of accident even more, I want to start seeing video game characters in real life!!

 

[Zen Toombs]

Feel better! Also, I'm totally jealous of your hallucinations. I wish mine were that cool....

 

[Formica Archonis]

Erin kinda looks like Rosa Blackwell, without the glasses.

You think so? I'm really not seeing it.

 

[knight4light]

wonder what kratos does when erin feels like ragequiting... i wonder if they help write her reviews.. would love to know what they think of other installments of their games. or other games heh..

 

[Dreadjaws]

I love the art style. Now, I wonder what's happening in the last panel. Are the guys giving her instructions or just talking?

 

[Nouw]

I love the 'Therefore Aliens' poster xD. A nice touch.

There are almost 40 comments and no one points out that she can see the dark templar, I find this outrageous.

Hey, she's obviously a detector unit xD.

 

[Saltyk]

You have to wonder, is there any pressure to play the game better when the main character is looking RIGHT over your shoulders?

It would be kind of odd to Game Over on God of War with Kratos looking right at you.

That's a good question. It certainly would be awkward, that's for sure. I'm not sure I'd want to play God of War with Kratos standing over my shoulder scowling at me.

I think it'd be far worse to play any other game with Kratos standing over your shoulder scowling at you. Imagine playing something kiddie like Mario. Or God forbid you play a 360 game.

 

[Rassmusseum]

LOVE this art style, very well done!

 

[Primus1985]

Take this lesson children: don't use a seatbelt, spend the rest of your life with hallucinations backseat gaming with you.

You say that like its a bad thing

 

[Erttheking]

Who's the alien behind princess peach

 

[AbstractStream]

Daaaang. That's some seriously good art.
Loved the strip xD If only all hallucinations were like that.

 

[Erttheking]

Who's the alien behind princess peach

*punches through a wall*

I mean... it's totally fine that you haven't played StarCraft

That's Zeratul, one of the most badass characters in gaming history. Look him up!

Ah, him yeah, not a fan of RTS, personally I always preferred this guy

[triggrhappy94]

I love her, ever since the Fear and Loathing in New Vegas one.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Love the memes hanging out on the bookshelf. And on the coffee cup, now that I think see it.

I wonder what she's playing, seeing as how none of those characters are going to be in a 360 game.

Darksiders, maybe? The illegitimate child of Link and Kratos, born by Joe Mad wearing a Portal t-shirt? The Captain is just hanging around.

Zeratul? Thought it was Raszagal?

Zeratul is the most iconic, and judging from the portrait in SC1 Raszagal has this whole hair thing going:

...and Zeratul looks a hell of a lot like the comic:

Looking again, yeah, yours is better. Guess I just saw the other girls around, and the images lined up like that. Thanks for the correction, I guess.

 

[Clankenbeard]

Triple "in coma" panes with text becoming sequentially more clear--stroke of genius. Well played sirs.

 

[Mousse Templar]

What cool freinds she have,
to bad it's not imitatible.
(have no car)

 

[dubious_wolf]

Erin Stout a little looks like Samus Aran... just saying yo.

<3 Erin <3

That is all.
