Just sayin', you know. Ahm.

Crap, I missed my chance to vote for the arm that can be used both as a perfect defence tool and a decent weapon as well (did you see the size of that thing? It was the biggest, bulkiest one! She could pull up an invisible girl force shield or have the option for clobbering time!). Oh well. The blue one looks cool at least. Maybe it'll be more useful in actual situations.

We just have to make sure somebody ends up naked because of this and all will be right in the world.

Everyone who voted Red should consider the fact that the arm only works at close range (as in pretty much right in front of their face) whereas many weapons in modern times do not. And we are a little girl. With little girl arms. Which are shorter than not-little-girl arms, so regardless unless we have initiative, the girl's in trouble. Seriously, people. (Yes I know at the end of my one post I said robotics may lead to machine gun arms, but I wasn't being serious, and was instead referencing some movie where some guy had a machine gun arm in virtual reality which somehow turned into a watermelon. It was a comedy. Does anyone know the name?) EDIT: "Has been 8 weeks since last uprising." Clever touch, Thallium! RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 00:01 on May 9, 2008 |

I've been feeling that these threads are too common, but this one is pretty great. I'll reserve my opinion on the story for later, after we can see more of where it's going, but I like it so far. More importantly, the artwork is really great. I like the "colored" choices, too - somebody said it felt like a DS game, and I agree with that.

I feel like as long as the art is charming a la this thread or Dropsy, adventure threads are totally cool. It's when they become "walk down a hall - an mspaint adventure thread" that it's disconcerting. Go Robotgirl go

Hm. The unreliability of the yellow and blue arms is a bit unnerving. The red arm might be limited in its uses but at least it's a sure thing.

Gah, I go to sleep and I miss two rounds of voting (and last time I missed it the thread was closed to boot  ).Anyway I'm glad blue won that one, I'm pretty sure there will be 'better' weapons down the track and mind control WOULD be good at this point. Hell you could mind control and syringe them... we could be going for tactical espionage here

 No update today because Photoshop exploded horribly in my face. However, I will post the panel I managed to complete before it went kaboom. It's pretty much self-explanatory. Goodnight, goons. Edit: Apparently I have a custom title and it is pretty drat awesome. Whoever is responsible, please identify yourself, and I would also like a large-sized copy of that art to add to the OP.

Maybe we should stop being so risky and actually take the time to figure out what is going on. Instead of going straight on to go against the people who probably know how her arm works, maybe she should get some experience and then save everyone.

I like how the expression in the first panel seems to indicate that she doesn't want to be sticking things in her shoulder-hole and knows it'll hurt, but doing it anyway is a good idea for some reason. I love the art all around, but this particular face is making the thread for me right now. Don't worry Pigtails, it'll be alright. You're just being charged with BLUE for extra minty goodness when you control people's minds.

Wow, this is by far my favorite internet adventure game yet. It seems that having clear, finite and well organized choices is what keeps it from becoming a carnival of idiocy. Other adventure game makers take note!

The third panel reminds me of getting a plasmid for the first time in Bioshock. Except with less electricity.

Being a small girl and not an engineer, you're not even sure how to install these things. However, there seems to be some sort of electromagnetism involved, because it suddenly snaps into place and screws itself tight. You feel a strange wave run through your body, and suddenly it's like having two arms all over again. You have a look around, hoping to find a battery pack for Adam, but there's nothing else for you here. Let's get moving.   UNAUTHORISED EQUIPMENT TRANSFER. REMAIN WHERE YOU ARE FOR PROCESSING.  Dr. McCreepy reappears with a very large, armed robot. He explains that although he would rather not dismantle you and use your parts on more cooperative patients, you are forcing his hand. Your options: Red: Attack. Let's see if that new arm works on him. Edit for clarification: If you choose red, you may also suggest what exactly you should do next. If Red wins and there is a general consensus on what to do, I'll take that route; if not, I'll pick one at random. Yellow: Run. 'Dismantle' does not sound promising. Blue: Surrender. Hopefully he won't rip your arm out and do God knows what else right away. Stuff: No options panel today, sorry. It just wasn't coming out right. Also, one corrupt file due to a power cut does not equal Photoshop being broken.

I knew we shouldn't have taken blue. The robot has a gun and our arm is useless against it. Our best bet here would probably be Red: attack him and try to mind-control him into disabling the robot or jumping in front of its lasers or Blue: surrender and wait till we're alone with him to mind control him into telling us what's going on. Gonna have to go with blue here since it's probably the only one that won't obviously get her killed.
