No way, you know she's gettin' that PC fixed soon as humanly possible. Soon as inhumanly possible, even.

[Jimor]

::Makes a backup copy of important files::

At least she knows where to replace that hentai folder.

[Delirium]

Fuck damn. Marigold seems to have completely forgotten that Momo was doing her a favour.

[vonsteck]

Panel 2 - obviously Momo *isn't* grounded...

 

[Tuitsuro]

I found myself shaking my head saying, "Oh god, I've been here..."  Anytime something *pops* on a computer, it's not good.  Even if it was just a capacitor, you're still ending up replacing the hardware.  Hopefully she doesn't just rip it out of Momo.  Literally.  

[Delirium]

The whole PC part of AnthroPC seems to be a bit of an informed ability, I don't think we've seen one actually used as one, and from what we've seen from a few representative examples, I don't think that would generally be a good idea.

i registered just so i could tell you that joke made my night.  thank you good sir.

Next strip we see Momo tied up and Marigold with an electro-afro

We've seen pintsize used as a PC - in the strip where Marten had him set up a blog for his "ranting about music" thing and played with the dictation mode. But we've also seen someone (I think Tai?) comment that it's pretty much impossible to get any actual work done on an anthroPC.

[Lizard]

If you look at it from the right angle, Marigold is performing a Senator Palpatine on Momo in Panel 2. Actually, once you've seen that I don't think you can unsee it 

[dilbert719]

Fuck damn. Marigold seems to have completely forgotten that Momo was doing her a favour.

She's drunk, for what is almost certainly the first time in her life, given her clear inexperience with beer and wine. It's entirely plausible she did forget.

[renfield1969]

What does "finish this instance" mean? I presume an "instance" is a game session, but why is it called that?

[LeeC]

its another name for dugeon.  I dunno, when I first started playing when WoW first came out, its just what everyone called it.

[Lizard]

What does "finish this instance" mean? I presume an "instance" is a game session, but why is it called that?

Simple: The game creates specific "worlds" for each player so they can be The Hero even when there are 50'000 other players killing the same beasts. Any such world which is custom-created for one (or a small group) of players is an instance of the general world - i.e., where the general world description might only have information of the form "Here be 5 goblins", when a player actually comes along and enters the critical area, the game instantiates 5 actual goblins with stats that are carried throughout the session the player is having. If the player logs out prematurely, these instances might be deleted and his progress would be lost.

Every morning when I wake up, I have an electric afro. It's AWESOME!

You, sir or madame, are chock full of win.

Not wholly. You can do half of the Black Fathoms Deep dungeon without launching an instance and I've just started Gnomergan and haven't run in to an instance yet.

If Marigold doesn't have back ups, she's going to be losing serious geek cred here.

[Dliessmgg]

I love terrified Momo with terrified hair.

It was Ellen:  AnthroPCs

[Blyss]

First thing that popped into my head upon reading today's comic - Ouch.   

[GG Crono]

I'm not sure whether to commend Jeph for making a "grounded" joke himself or not.

[nichidani]

has it been stated that she was actually doing marigold a favor, or is that just an assumption?

i thought she was just... playing. -shrug-

edit: i read back and she is playing for marigold, whoops.

[TwistedRemedy]

I think I like 'Gold so much because she's one of the few characters with long hair..

[H0b0K!n9]

I wonder what Marigold will do without a computer now. Unless she can play WoW on Momo.......>_>

[nichidani]

i would think she's either going to get it fixed or quit being such a damn nerd.

who knows?

[LeeC]

hey what is she going to do while she waits for parts?  Hang out with her new friends. 

[Kazukagii]

Internet Highfive, place palm on screen to recieve.

This is why you don't let a robot that can emit static electricity stand near your computer.

[H0b0K!n9]

I wonder if she'll start having WoW withdrawals?

[celticgeek]

hey what is she going to do while she waits for parts?  Hang out with her new friends. 

Wait for parts?  She probably has parts for five or six computers hidden behind the Yaoi. 

[Mojo]

Jeph owes the estate of Charles Schultz a nickel.

I-rony. Losing serious geek cred.... and you're citing your experience in Gnomergan and BFD?

For the record, they're all fucking instances. Instance=dungeon, they're entirely interchangeable words.
From the official WoW site: "An instance is a personal copy of the dungeon for you and your party. The only players in this instance will be yourself and members of your party - no one else can enter your dungeon instance. Instances allow you and a group of friends to have a more personal experience exploring, adventuring, or completing quests in your own private dungeon."

The second you walk into Gnomer, or BFD... you're in an instance!

Gah! How can you correct someone when you obviously have a astoundingly rudimentary grasp of the game itself?! Nerd rage... hulking... out.

sorry dude ad a smiley and I would have known you were playing around.  Thought you were giving a serious answer.

[Tobimaro]

Man.  Marigold just got burned.  I guess reasoning with an AnthroPC is not a good idea.  Just look at Pintsize.   

Well, at least for this comic I can use my period knowledge to say that Jeph is right, talking about farts really only took off in the Edwardian era.

As so.

And I see that literature has seriously gone downhill since the time of Joyce.   

[Jeff7]

Thus it was, because of the immense power surge introduced into the mains, the Great Cascade Blackout of 2009 had begun.

AAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGGGHH!!!!!!!!



NOW what are they going to do?

[akronnick]

Well, if I were Marigold, I'd disable Momo's capacitor. If I were Momo, I'd let her.

I-rony. Losing serious geek cred.... and you're citing your experience in Gnomergan and BFD?

I don't know if you've heard, but there are other games besides WoW that people enjoy playing and the fact that I've only recently begun playing that particular game has nothing to do with geek cred. Also, gamers are not the only form of geekdom to be found. My point in this case was that she obviously knows something about computers and I would find it seriously hard to believe that she doesn't have buck ups at the very least.

The point, sir or madame, was that I was not the only person there in Gnomergan and the first half of Black Fathoms Deep. There were other players and parties there. By the definition you yourself posted that does not qualify as an instance. How then can the terms be interchangeable?


Also, as much as I'd really like to be a level 80 and sit at my computer for endless hours gaming, like I did when I was in my teens and early 20's, I've got 3 kids that run me from 6:30 am to 9 pm and it takes a really long time to level  when you've got about 4 playable hours max per day, that's if I wouldn't rather spend that time with my husband watching a movie or something. Gotta have your priorities straight.

had to get in on the nerdery. Admittedly I have never played WoW. However, in Everquest (the only true MMO,) There are dungeons that are not instances and instances that are not dungeons. Therefore, the words are not interchangeable.

pwned.


Also, it is entirely possible that Momo finished the raid and then got sucked into a regular after-raid group. I would think if she were still raiding she would have said "I want to finish this raid" rather than "instance." Either way, they were both being unreasonable.

[St.Clair]

You're not actually in an instance until you walk through the swirly patch of corridor.
So there.

(To everyone else:  most WoW dungeons have a "foyer" area, connected to the rest of the world and inhabited by monsters and so on.  It isn't until you pass through the instance portal - which, as noted, looks like a semi-transparent vortex - that you/your group is shunted off into its own personal copy of the dungeon that's supposedly on the other side.)

[bicostp]

This just kinda happened during tonight's Ustream :



Derp

[Delirium]

the fuck is this shit?

This sort of reaction is not untypical.

Although in guild leader in a steady guild is understanding of computer exploding mishaps.
