The Opportunist

[The Random One]

Angry Star Shirt Dude has some impressive upper body strenght.

Hey! Last week I described this as the K-Pax school of psychology! You rewrote my joke using a reference people'd actually get! I'M ON TO YOU, CARTER.

 

[mojojojo-evilmonkey]

No panties? FUCK YOU!

Just kidding, though I think this arc is lasting for a little too long.

I feel like I should know this joke, it seems familiar but I don't get it sadly .. though now I am wondering how come Erin our 'protagonist' is seeing villains and enemies of video games now? I know for a fact that Medusa is a boss character in God of War.

It's actually a Medusa head from Castlevania.

 

[Malty Milk Whistle]

I'm really tired of this story line, and I don't really get the bit with the Medusa Head.

It's all about her starting to see Antagonists, as opposed to her usually good guy hallucinations.

Well I wouldn't really call Kratos and Duke Nukem "good guys."

Shush you, they have good intentions.

Oh? .. Wait if I may ask, how do you know she's from Castlevania?
Not saying you're wrong, for you're most likely right but just figured she was from God of War since there was a Medusa in that game.

Cause Medusa heads float and Erin is up in the air, plus in the little sentence bellow the strip he says it is a Medusa head which is the Castlevania's creature official name.

I knew that. It was it's significance to this comic that I wasn't getting.

There's probably going to be a lot more to it than just "appreciate the fragility of life as I dangle you out a window".

People seem to be really annoyed for some reason. I guess I understand since we only get two strips a week and the pacing is a bit slow, but thus far, nothing has happened that would keep this comic from being the very first thing I check every Tuesday and Friday on the Escapist. Hell, I seriously doubt anything will ever change that.

Let's see... What are the medusa heads most known for in Castlevania and how does it correlate to Erin's current position of being inches from dropping to her death...

Oh I get it now, hence why I said "wasn't getting" and not "am not getting."

 

[AbstractStream]

Took me a bit, but I get it! I dunno, made the joke funnier since it took me a while to understand.

Oh, Erin. You are so messed up.

 

[TheDrunkNinja]

Ah, I see. Read that wrong. And here I was this close to writing a more sarcastic comment juxtaposed with Nicolas Cage's face. That would have looked pretty bad on my part.

 

[Mouse_Crouse]

I actually don't mind this storyline, but I do agree the pacing is kind of slow.

This is basically my feelings on this arc. I think the story is interesting enough. But it is REALLY boring me with how slowly we are getting there.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Just kill her off already, and get on with it!!!

Yes! Get on with it!

So, which one's the fan of Ellie Goulding? You or Cory? ;D

Also, interesting turn of events. I'm looking forward to seeing the next crazy twist in this crazy arc xD

It's all about her starting to see Antagonists, as opposed to her usually good guy hallucinations.

Well I wouldn't really call Kratos and Duke Nukem "good guys."

But they are both the Protagonist (the main character) of their respective games and not the antagonist (a character, group of characters, or institution, that represents the opposition against which the protagonist must contend)

Third frame: What's wrong with her nose!?

Seeing that Medusa head & reading the caption underneath gave me a major Castlevania flashback! Well done to those of you who figured that out too.

I'd probably be less "meh" about this if the pacing of this arc wasn't diabolically slow. Can't help but think you could be working within the confines of your medium a bit better- this would work much better as a comic book than a twice a week webcomic. We could at least do with a bit more of the story with each installment :/

Ah, but you see that's where the bone of contention lies. A protagonist isn't always necessarily a "good guy."

Ha! I suppose her subconscious is trying to help her. But like Tris said, "I never said it was particularly good at it."
