There's no joke, the last panel (where you'd think the punchline would be) is devoid of dialogue.
Would of been nice if they explained that shit or gave some sort of clue. As it stands the comic is basically lying to the reader & the ultimate joke is that the reader is an lemming that'll believe anything. A joke is 100% less funny when you realize it's on you.cricket chirps said:The layered joke sandwich:antipunt said:Wait hold up what's the joke?! I don't get it!! D:
1. The game doesn't exist
2. Grey understands the gaming community well enough to know that based on his silly "thoughts on the game" after the comic that people would look up the game out of interest and find none, then as intended go, "OHHHHH xD I can't believe I fell for that. Probably shouldn't believe everything I read from someone on the internet because I trust them."
3. It is humorous that Eren complains about there being so many indie games showing up that it is hard to even keep track of all the ones worth knowing about.
4. Tying it all up, we stumble into Eren's problem and assume the game exists and we haven't heard of it somehow BECAUSE there really are too many random indie hits lately.
5. That character being just so d@#$ crazy looking that we believed it would actually be in a JRPG.
People normally call something like this a practical joke. It's like sending someone who is on their first camping trip to look for a left handed smoke shifter, snipes or sky hooks. The humor in it is when you realize you'd been had and slap yourself on the forehead for being gullible enough to believe it.Elberik said:So they're just a couple of trolls now?Tank207 said:The joke is that they tricked people into searching for a game that doesn't exist.Elberik said:So the game doesn't exist.

._. Well, it's called humility. "Oh us gamers are a silly and predictable bunch sometimes." -Laugh laugh- The joke, can in fact, be on us.

That said I'll give them points for being clever but this still isn't a joke, they're just lying & being trolls
Ah yes, mana khemia... what the atelier series looked like back before some moron executive woke up one morning and said "you know what would make this already perfect crafting JRPG better? 500% more moe!" /facepalmMaster_of_Oldskool said:Argh! Curse you, Carter! I've been waiting for another crafting-centric JRPG to lift me from the abyss since fuckin' Mana Khemia!
There was so much hope...
That's her? Huh. Now I feel kinda ashamed, because I'm pretty sure I have that game but have yet to play it. I think it was a Humble Bundle. I shall have to give it a go next weekend.Groverfield said:Girl not guy, I can't remember her name, but she's from "They Bleed Pixels," a sort of sugar gothic version of Super Meat Boy.scienceguy8 said:Who's the purple fellow in the lower right of the first panel?

The light purple spot where the nose should be is the giveaway, the character's hair is clipped back further, so it's not 100% exact, but what is. To be fair, that's the only one that I did recognize, and here I was looking for Bunny.scienceguy8 said:That's her? Huh.
