I believe the word is "nicker", a colloquialism referring to the soft sound made by contented horses. Mario, imagining such a peaceful creature, realized what a monster he'd become through his vengeful ways. Then his eyes blew up.

My favorite part about the whole concert is when the Troll King (I think it's him, since it's just a silhouette) says: its a trap shadow set this up to draw us in. i know i read bevers blog

POINDEXTRE posted:Is this "Word of Death" thing a misguided protest against political correctness or am I reading too much into it I'm skeptical of the intent considering some of the other stuff, but at minimum I don't see a problem with the concept of depicting the Big Bad Guy using words that are used to suppress/hurt minorities as actually literally hurting people since part of the problem with them is that they think they are no big deal to say to the affected minorities. It could be a very clever metaphor for social justice in the context of some pieces, though here it seems like it was probably serendipitous. If the words were used against the minorities they are supposed to hurt I'd say it was a clever highlight about the hurt those can cause minorities.

change my name posted:Hey, you don't know what's hidden behind those asterisks It was actually a minor compliment because I kind of like the concept, regardless if it was intended or not or how perfectly it was executed.I have lots of other better things I could go after criticizing this comic for if I really wanted to spend the time, but it's self-aware so sometimes I'm not sure if it is just being ineffective in parts, oopsing from blindness or actually trying to promote bad things which makes it a little too complicated for me to try to put in the effort for this thread. At least for now. Kylra fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Apr 23, 2012 |

C'mon Troll King, step your game up. Italians aren't fazed by racial slurs against black people (I'm pretty sure they invented most of 'em). That said, I bet Mario is faking bleeding out of his eyes, it's probably tomato sauce.

I'm really hoping he gets another completely random character to intervene in this fight, that was one of the magical parts of the early comic. That said, this words of death thing is a nice twist. The dialogue about shutting Luigi's brain down so he could be hosed to death is vintage.

If there's any single regret Troll King has for the countless horrific events that have transpired in his wake, it's that he's dying.

I love that he kept the detail of the stars having a short time limit. He's true to the games!Slime posted:Well, if you keep using a word it would probably lose it's impact. What gives the deadly word it's power is that it's so hateful. It's probably not a one use thing, but using the same one over and over would probably weaken it, since it would lose meaning if it was used constantly.  Lazerbot's a fuckin genius
