Stolen Pixels #245: Tycho Brahe

[Spencer Petersen]

Wasn't Tycho Brahe an astronomer who had a metal nose?

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

No love for Richard?

He'd probably just burn down the place. In self-defence of course. I know how dangerous orphanages are.

Elan would be pretty funny to see in it too. Misinterpreting innuendoes, noting what would be most dramatic, being Elan, yeah I can imagine that being pretty funny.

 

[Joshimodo]

Brent Sienna and Guybrush would be ace additions.


Would be somewhat amusing to have Yahtzee as a playable character, fully voiced and what-not.

 

[Xocrates]

I'm pretty sure that the only reason Tycho is in this game is because Hothead already made a Penny Arcade game. Don't expect any other webcomic characters in this.

Except as far as I'm aware, Hothead wasn't involved in any way on this, their Tycho wasn't voiced, and used a different model.

I'm pretty sure that the work that went into tycho was pretty much the same as if Penny Arcade never had a game before.

Also good picks for inclusion:
* Sergeant Schlock ('Cause he's like the Heavy crossed with Max, and it would be delicious fun to watch them play off each other)
* Manny Calavera (The game needs some deadpan delivery!)
* River Tam (Tell me this wouldn't be awesome)
* Rincewind (See River Tam, above)

Dr. McNinja. Or Dan McNinja. Either one.

 

[standokan]

Yeah i too feel, that there is some Elan needed at the poker table.

 

[Jamielordofgingers]

Both Elan and Nale needed, if only for the cross table banter/swordfight

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

I like this idea...I like all the suggested personalities, but....

Elan?

Are you sure... you do know his pun-ishing ability exceeds even mine.

I'd much prefer Roy and Hayley at the table. Especially self-loathing Hayley. [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0382.html]

Actually, Varsuvius could beat Tycho in a big word contest. Especially given that runes can be put on poker cards quite easily.

 

[FredTheUndead]

Shamus is a student of the Professors Foglio? I'd have never guessed!

 

[Worgen]

Agatha Heterodyne!

<3!

Fools! I will destroy you all!

[sub]ask me how![/sub]

finally, someone else who knows who Agatha is, every damn webcomic or comic thread I see, I have to be the only one to says girl genius

also, dies horribly from goblins could be pretty good too

 

[Sneaklemming]

I would add gordon freeman to that list... but you know... it would be a quiet table.

Not as good as Señor Vorpal Kickass'o!

But I wuld so much rather se a Girl Genius game before a Goblins game. Goblins kind of already got D&D.

Tycho Brahe

He has quite the impressive vocabulary.

Oh I'd love to see Brent Sienna and Elan in this comic!

Maybe have them team up against Guybrush Threepwood.

Why?

'Cause it's AWESOME!

 

[kastanok]

If they did Agatha someone would have to accuse her of cheating at some point in the game and attack her whilst removing her locket, releasing Lucriza on them all.

Oooh... terrible things could be done with that.

That or her little clanks could just whip up mischief under the table.

Following established mechanics, her amulet could be her buy-in item? Though maybe a clank would be better... something for the Engy to use.

I would be shocked if they weren't at least considering a Guybrush add-on. No good reason I can think of not to.

Someone above mentioned Rincewind. Licensing him's just not going to happen but you could get a similar vibe from Jim, the protagonist of Mogworld.

 

[Scout Tactical]

Heh. Shamus doesn't know big words.

Heh.

I wasn't terribly surprised.

 

[Mechsoap]

Im the only one thought this was about a scientist?

 

[Atros81]

Am I the only one who actually played the game who thought that the character and animation for Tycho were a bit off somehow? He doesn't 'feel' right to me, though I can't put my finger on it.

 

[Abedeus]

Who voices Elan in the game? ;d
