I think it's funny how we think lazerbot is cool but is basically an alien, and how bringing him into our atmosphere would make him immediately die. I'm not saying it's not true but it's funny.

If Something Awful were a planet the atmosphere would be 100% methane.

This has been bugging me for awhile since the skeletal ear-wig demon showed up but is Demaro's name supposed to be a pun? :confused:

It sounds like the love child of Demon and Marrow.

I'm thinking that Demaro is a fake body made or controlled by that skeletal demon, and it takes the place of his spinal column and ribs, but it doesn't matter if that body loses a limb or two because Demaro is just a tool to get the skeleton covered in flesh by sucking up souls like Garry's.

Really? I thought it was just a demon spirit hosting itself in Demaro's body, but not a physical being. Like, it needs a host body because it can't exist on it's own and uses Demaro to get more souls to eat so it can become stronger. I bet it could even leave Demaro and enter a better vessel... perhaps Shadow.

I feel like my guess isn't far enough off from yours to disagree. I think the skeletal demon could definitely make use of other people. But it will still end up eating souls to flesh itself out.

I could see it happening where the demon realizes Wile E. Coyote is the stronger Neutral and leaves Demaro for him (killing Demaro in the process), and then Silver and friends have to find a way to take out Wile E. without killing him.

Silver and co. have had the most success in actually getting poo poo done, so it would make sense to have something more important distract them away from the trolls, or else the other groups in the story won't really have any enemies left to fight. Plus, it's totally in the natures of both Silver and Rob to value the lives of their friends over everything else. :911:

scarycave posted:

Whats going on with Lazerbot is why I finally caved in and bought an account. Can anyone give him a screen shot of the thread posts, or is that ban worthy? He's clearly looking for a reaction to his work.

This might be the solution. Would showing someone screenshots of posts behind the paywall be okay, or would it result in whoever does it tasting Lowtax's mighty banhammer?

Tweek posted:

edit: I'd buy lazerbot an account (I'm sure any of us would) but I don't really want him posting. I kind of like the degree of removal where he reads about something here and the replies to it either in the comic or on his blog.

Plus his style of internet speech, while fun to read, would get him banned here.

Remember when someone bought Gord an account? Yeah.

Edit: Has anyone actually told Lazerbot about the moved paywall yet?

If you e-mailed him screenshots or whatever and didn't loving post on the forums "HEY GUYS I SENT HIM SCREENSHOTS" and don't stick your credit card info or "SCREENCAPS BY DICK TOUCHLY" on the images, it's impossible to determine who is sharing screenshots and ban someone, plus I'm pretty sure no one would really give a huge poo poo.

But really the easiest solution is to get him an account and suggest to him that he not post.

Yeah, this is what I'm expecting will happen really. Someone's gonna kill Demaro and then get a whole new demonic parasite for their trouble. I don't think it'll make them evil on its own though.

Except now the thing is exposed to pure Goonery and it will either explode or run in terror, at which point the thing is no longer cool and was never cool and we hate it

That is such an apt description and I worry it will come true. Similar situation might be playing out in the PYF internet critic thread right now. Internet "fame" is seriously the worst.

That's funny. I opened both this and the Internet Critic thread in adjacent tabs, started reading Zenzirouj's post and thought this was The Internet Critic Discussion Thread and that it was in response to what's unfolding there until you pointed it out. I was this close to speculating on the extent of Wile E. Coyote's necromancer powers in between other people's posts about Cinema Snob videos.

(I had to double-check again which thread I was in before posting)

EDIT: But yeah, don't buy him an account, please. If he wants to read the thread and/or buy an account himself there's nothing stopping him, but nothing good can come from goons dragging him here to receive first-hand the same admiration he's already getting second-hand. I love the man but I don't want to get my greasy goon-fingers all over him.

Time for some Lazerthoughts.

quote:

hey i saw that you chosen the answer lies and most people do think lying is worse then the truth and that probably is true, people only think of it in one way lying to people but no one thinks about the lies we all tell our self, i mean we are all lying to our selves about something, i mean lies can be bad yet in ways be good really depends on perspective really,

i mean here's an example, there's this person who's dieing of a illness and they have a zero per cent chance of living do you tell them the harsh truth or do you lie to them to give them hope? some times the truth can be worse then the lies, when the truth is about something bad is it better to tell the truth or lie? when the lies are bad then the truth is good but what about the other way around? a lot of people can't handle the actually truth and lie to them selves every day,

i am for the truth because lies like to pile up and explode but what if some of the truths are bad as well, i mean how can someone tell the truth to someone they care about and tell them that there dieing? and the doctor told everyone it was a 100 percent chance of death, do you lie to them and tell them that there is a chance? people don't ask these questions that much,

something like that can't be decided by one persons opinion, its good to tell the truth even if its cold, could any of us do that? could you tell someone you care about that there gonna die? its not something someone could answer until it happens to them, there are many truths that people keep hidden for good purposes, what about the things that people lie about for good purposes, i mean parents lie to there kids all the time, its something to think about
