I like the cute little hat on her pet rat. :3
His name is Suchong!!!
Pfffft, Suchong is dead, remember? I don't know who his replacement is, but that is NOT the Suchong we all knew and loved!!!
Blasphemer!! Your hut will burn as your goats are added to my own!
Suchong is not a mere rat. He is an ideal! Many rats have carried this title. Each earning the right to be called Sucong.

He is not dead...He has been reborn!
You're the blasphemer for falling in line and worshiping this false idol! The body of the true Suchong wasn't even cold before some other rat came up to take his place! THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!
The body of Suchong was cremated, so that his mind and soul would bond with the new Avatar of Suchong.
He merely shed his used mortal form, so that he could use a new one to fulfill his destiny!
Keep telling yourself that, heretic. You will not be spared once the Crusades begin. The new Suchong is a fake! An impostor! He is the Anti-Suchong incarnate and you shall suffer the wrath of the True Suchong upon his glorious return! Because in the words of Shirou: "People die if they are killed!" This applies to divine beings inhabiting mortal shells as well!
Let us not wait for your mythical crusades to come! We will gather our armies and clash upon the fields of Battlefield and let our steel and claymores decide who is the true heretic. Know this, your blood will lubricate my door hinges, your skull will be part of my rewrite of Hamlet and your girlfriend/fiance/wife/only female friend will watch as I own thine ass.

As it is said in the gospel of Suchong: "Getting shot in the head is deadly."
Only blasphemers and non-believers play Battlefield. No, you shall stand before the inquisitor after you are defeated in the grand, ancient arena of DBZ: Raging Blast 2. There I shall rip your intestines out and use them as a prophylactic as I fornicate with your cranium. The forum will run red with the bitter-sweet sanguine that leaks from your ears, eyes, and nose after I summon Trevor Phillips from the depths of hell to move into your apartment/house. The women of your village shall wail, the men shall gnash their teeth as your lifeless corpse is paraded down the street to be fed to a pack of rapid Creepers! Repent now, lest ye be judged!
Nay fool! The war for Suchong cannot be decided in 47 episodes! I know not who this Trevor Phillips is, but I will banish your soul to the deepest pits of Hell (EA marketing). Your women will become my concubines, unless I find them unattractive. The men of your village will weep as I take their chickens. I do not stand alone. The soul of Suchong fuels my faith. As the PC is to the console wars, I will reign supreme.

Oh you poor, blind sheep...you have indeed strayed far from the path of righteousness. It has already been established that your faith is fueled by a false idol unworthy of standing in the light of the one true Suchong who, though he has passed, lives on within the hearts and souls of the true believers. Suchong seeks not a conqueror to reign supreme over all people's, but rather a humble shepherd to distribute Skittles amongst the masses and spread his Word.

That said he did order the Grand Inquisition to root out false believers like yourself and demanded that they have their hearts dug out with sporks. Or to have their feet pounded with hammers until the bones are naught but dust, allowing the feet to be gruesomely tied into a knot so that the blasphemers might be hung upside-down by them on rusty meat hooks. The battle for your soul shall not be decided in 47 episodes, but rather in two minutes. And as your charred body lies smoking in a crater as the buzzards soar overhead, you will know your faith has been misplaced with an impostor. For Suchong protects and rewards the righteous believer, and punishes the sinners so easily swayed by a false image of the glory that is Suchong.

I know not who this so-called Grand Inquisition claims to be, but they do not speak for Suchong. For Suchong is a rat and cannot speak. Your blindness has allowed their lies to claim your mind. Suchong would not condone the needless suffering of the innocents. He would show compassion and share skittles. He slew the Devil cats that were sent to destroy his line and he easily defeated them.

And know this. Even if you destroy my mortal form, my soul will be reborn, just as Suchong's has more times than even history can remember. While you sip wine to celebrate your fleeting victory, I will gather the true believers and purge the heresy from you with both flame and more flames.

For Suchong cleanses himself with fire, and so shall I, you.

...and he is adorable in his little blue top hat.

I should have known Erin was a wizard, just look at the monocle! (Achievement unlocked: Classic reference. 10G) I wonder, does Suchong also have a tiny monocle? Difficult to see, but I'm going to assume he does. Because he's fancy like that... and also also a wizard.

PS:
I hope she didn't catch the PS4 when she flung it. Its mere existence defiles the gaze of the master race!!
Clearly it is the tech heresy and must be eliminated. For the Emprah!

For shame! Even for a heretic that is just foul. This discussion is over, and by the right hand of Suchong thou shalt be smote upon his righteousness for thy transgressions against Him.

C'mon, Erin, the PS4 and Xb1 don't even have good exclusives yet. Nothing to get excited about until spring at the earliest.

P.S. Thanks

You truly are blind! Suchong has lived more lives than you could possibly comprehend. It is to his followers that he gives his orders. It is to us, that he told to take the beautiful women for ourselves, so that they could also receive the gifts that he has bestowed upon us. He understands that we are but mortals and are still distracted by the physical forms that he has shed so many times.

He does not judge them as you or I. He has returned before and will do so, long after our war has been forgotten by those who merely glimpsed it. I know not what power you claim to serve, but Suchong uses only his disciples to spread his teachings.

Your order will fall. Make no mistake. Suchong may promote peace, but he will fight to protect the richous. When your body lies broken and exposed to the elements, I will show you the mercy of a quick death.
For Suchong commands it.

Renegade and RJ. It pains me to see such a fight when both of you are horribly mistaken. Suchong isnt all knowing. He isnt devine. Suchong is the title and name given to the rat whos purpose in life is to accompany Erin. He is no god. He is no holy being who will smite the "heritics". He is a knight. A knight who when his life comes to an end they chose the next in line. They give that young rat the title and name of Suchong. Those of you who argue Suchongs divinity do not understand. The past Suchongs, the present Suchong, and the future Suchongs will forever be Knights of Erin. Born of Fancy Rats.

Having now googled the F-117 Nighthawk, I can only say, "Holy shit! That jet has a NAME?! I thought it was just called 'stealth fighter'."

Why is Erin so excited when she says there's no games on it worth playing? I guess I'm not as materialistic as her.

She didn't. She and Suchong are just fancy, as TB is (hence the top hat insignia).

Now this strip has me questioning what the Escapists own writers really think of their PS4's and XBones. I get why they're given for free, because it makes no sense to pay money to do your job. What is this, the Krusty Krab?

Thank you Mrs. Yeisley (senior English, 1986) for forcing me to learn this alternate definition of the word "affect". It was 27 years ago and this is the first time I have made mental note of an actual usage "in the wild". She's probably dead now. And if she is, I'm positive that she rolls in her grave for every "your/you're" misuse on the internet by you insensitive bastards.

However, I have doubts about the aerodynamics of the PS4.
While it is not the most efficient shape for aerodynamics, it does maintain a slope to change air speed when split by the front of the PS4, and would be capable of flight if light enough.

I thought Erin was a pc master race, so console opening shouldn't thrill her.
Maybe that little black box brings back fond memories of her childhood or something.

PC's my primary platform these days, but this strip still gave me the warm fuzzies from those days when I first unboxed my NES, my SNES, my Playstation, etc.

Actually, it isn't all that aerodynamic but so-long as it obeys the general rule of being within it's own wake at high speed it's really irrelevant as you tend to generate vacuum for the plane to sit in at the speeds these things fly at, in fact nasa did some research on special aerodynamics for high speed jets and planetary decent vehicles and they found the perfect shape to be a sphere, or a bulb type shape since it penetrates the air for the rest of the vehicle and reduces drag that would otherwise rip vital components ( like wings ) off the frame and this is why the reusable space shuttle has a bulbus nose, to prevent friction and sonic sheer forces tearing it in half :)

note: I am not suggesting that a lockheed F-117 approaches decent velocity, only that supersonic flight is an odd peanut in terms of logic.

Well, it's normally done with something like "the King." And Kings have successors, usually also Kings. Sometimes Queens, but most monarchies prefer the male line.

Say Bob is King. Bob dies, now his son, Steve is King. What they're saying is "The King [Bob] is dead! Long live the King [Steve]!"

Suchong is both dead and alive, because the first Suchong passed (and probably several others; the rats seemed to have this well down by now), but there remains a Suchong. May the sun never set on his reign. >.>

Edit: or hers. I never sexed it.

I got that way the last time I unboxed a new processor, for that matter. And GTA V. And a parrot. Don't ask me why a parrot was in a box.

Erin may be a little crazy, sometimes even evil, but I don't think she has the level of douchebaggery required to become TotalBiscuit.
