>Ocelot just wants so badly to be cool.
Is AZ the best gaming comic that is regularly updating?
Yes. It has been since Penny Arcade turned to shit.
>you will never take place in a devil's threesome with Katie and Ronnie
I have the sad
I kinda like how she makes a few random comics about whatever she's currently playing, even if it's an older game.
>>78654626
>Cute
>Funny
>Rocket scientist
Katie is my waifu.
>>78654636
The world needs more Metal Gear comics.
>>78654559
Honestly only gaming comic i check up on and its worth it every time
>>78654682
Indeed. Quality has been great for years.
>>78654670
I met Katie at a con two years ago. She's really nice. She signed the print I bought for free.
>>78654678
>>78654559
>A joke that hasn't been made before
Extra 10 points
>>78654678
Her MGS3 comics recently have all been gold.
>>78654710
The funny hting about her comics is that they become double funny if you've actually played the game, a rarity among gaming webcomics. They usually rely on non-game humor like "lol mario drugs".
I can't ever see revolver ocelot without thinking of this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYJARyE4QZE
>>78654769
That's definitely true.
>>78654761
I love Ocelot's face in panel 4. He is such a dorky little brother around his older sibling's cool friends.
>>78654804You mean his mother's cool friends.
awkward zombie and oglaf are the only good webcomics
There is another gaming comic that updates regularly called Life in Aggro, but it is very hit and miss. Very miss with their earlier stuff but getting better.
>>78654830
hello author of life is aggro
>>78654559
Comic is ok, artist is garbage and a Valve shill.
The comic during the whole paid mod fiasco was embarrassing
>>78654752
I just started playing that game recently and the conversations with Para-medic are funny as hell. Snake reminds me of Lyos from Dungeon Menshi.
>every Metal Gear comic ever
>something that happens in the game
>LOL NOW IT'S WACKY
>repeat
>>78654881
Have you gotten the one about James Bond yet?
>>78654899
No, I don't think so. Last one was about the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
>>78654881
Almost all of the conversations were great. I loved the one with Sigint about he mask
>That mask is some of my best work! It's the only mask in the world that can blink!
>But I can't move my mouth.

which one? The paid mods fiasco was in april but I'm not seeing any comics from around then that have anything to do with it.
>>78654843
>hello author of life is aggro
Nope sorry. But I would probably think that too if I saw someone say what I said
is the author a gamer gurl
>>78654926
Just ignore him.

nope, the author is a gurl who plays games

Seriously. Metal Gear is one of the most ridiculous and cartoony series ever created.
>>78654919
>And it never runs out of ammo?
>That's right
>How's that?
>Because the internal feed mechanism is shaped like an infinity symbol
>Ooooh, I get it. Yep, that'll give you unlimited ammo.

Whops my bad, confusing with someone else.
>>78654935
Rude to be honest
>>78654951
I just realized she's dressed like Dexter.

It just occurred to me, The End doesn't explode if you kill him by waiting him out.

If that means "most mediocre and boring" then yes.

>>78655075
That game is pretty fun, though.
Still waiting for another entry to this series.
>>78655091
care to point me to any better gaming webcomics then?
>>78655097
I am truly embarrassed at how long it took me to get the joke.
>>78655106
I don't know why people didn't like the post-apocalyptic Advance Wars. Shit was cash.
Most of this boils down to "what if we apply gaming logic to real life". Incredibly easy.
>>78655085
>She's actually a rocket scientist.
What does that have to do with this? At least it explains why the comics tend to be so formulaic.
>>78655121
There are none because gaming webcomics were never good.
>>78655106
this is her best comic
>>78655127
Personally, I liked it just fine. That's why I'm still holding a torch for the series.
I'm Norrin in this comic.
>>78655094
Also, rocket science, despite the idiom, isn't the most complicated of sciences.
>>78655094
the change of country and localization actually makes the game better and the setting more unique tho
>>78655147
>>78655018
>>78655048
Nevermind, just looked it up and I'd forgotten that he does.
For some reason it just doesn't happen until well after he presumably died.
>>78655170
I don't disagree but it's still super weird. Even Little Tokyo in LA is nothing like in the game.
>>78655170
It's gradually become more of a problem and makes localizing odd. See: that game completely set in feudal japan, and chapter 2 of DD.
There's some big, infamous explanation for making it California though if you google for it.
>>78655165
At least she isn't a biologist.
>>78655194
>>78655170It's an alternative reality where the Axis won the war.That's why LA is completely Japanese.That's why German prosecutors have absolute authority in the American court systems.It's why the court systems in general are nightmarishly fascistic.
literally me
Does anyone have that ALL OF THEM one? The Wow one with her Tank character?
The site needs a "random comic" button.
>>78654559
God the art is so bad, can you believe it's still going on? I can't. Why can't it be better?
>>78655033
Subtle.
>>78655240
It really does.
>>78654886
I don't know what's funnier about this one. Snake awkwardly spasming in pain in the last panel or the very concept of playing MP3s on a gun.
>>78655233
I miss her wow comics, they were funny
>>78655265
The funniest part is imagining someone actually taking a shot like that in a Metal Gear game.
>>78655282
Yeah, even though I don't play anymore, some of them are my favorites. A lot of the TF2 ones are great too.
>>78655233
her archive page lists what game each comic is about just fyi
>>78655231
I love New Vegas but god damn that game has some issues with the amount of time spent on looting and inventory management.
Fakkin' Bethesda.

But you don't find the crocodile head until after the fight with Ocelot.

You find it in Dremutij Swamp, or whatever it's called. Which is after the fight against the Ocelot Unit, but before the showdown at the ravine.
>>78655344
hmm where can I actually read these?
>>78655988
I thought it was at the base in the river after the ravine.

>>78654747
Didn't hiimdaisy make that mancrush/crush joke as well?
>>78656387
It's not a joke, it's explicitly spelled out in-game.
The fresh joke is Ocelot adopting the animal hat.
>>78656387
ocelot having a crush on big boss is just canon, not a joke that needs to be made
in this instance the joke is animal hats
>>78655438
Look at that retard wearing a school shooter coat and a hat indoors and then joking about being self-concious.
>>78656111
>>78656173
M'kay, so? I couldn't give a flying fuck what an artists political views are so long as they don't use their work as a blatant soap box. Shunning someone because they said something on another medium you disagree with is the kind of petty bullshit SJW's do. I'm above that, and so should you.
>>78656473

Buddy did you even read my posts? I was mocking the fact so many screamed "KATIE MY WAIFU" while she'd consider their behavior toxic and steer clear from them in a heartbeat.
>>78656682
> I was mocking the fact so many screamed "KATIE MY WAIFU" while she'd consider their behavior toxic and steer clear from them in a heartbeat.
Why though?
Katie lives in my city and my city is sorta small so I get to read her twitter and watch her explore this dumb little college town and I want so badly to be like "stop by my pizza place and I'll give you a slice no charge" but that would be creepy.
>>78656615
It's a coping mechanism I think. There's a lot of pressure to perform well in a specialized mental arena and there's not much room for "grass is greener" type thinking.

Well the thing about AZ in general is you can tell it's just her doing it out of love when she's not busy doing rocket science.
so there's no soap boxing, no pushing this. It's just a girl who likes games and wants to say HEY GAMES ARE FUN.
She treats it with the proper level of seriousness unlike all those other faggots who think that video games need to be their whole universe

Fun fact. 99% of the game comic ideas Katie has are from a single AZ forumite name Omnithea who LIVES in the comic suggestion thread. She doesn't even write her own material unless it's about her life. Also one time Norrin wrote a bloody Jarate comic and tried to take credit for the idea.

Awkward Zombie as a comic is mediocre at best. I used to wonder why it was one of the few comics people don't flame to shit even though it's hardly ever funny.
Then I realized people only like it because Katie is one of those rare people who isn't a complete shit and actually likes video games.
>>78658710
I disagree with you on mediocre, but yeah, it helps when the author is a normal pleasant human being.
>>78658815
Always thought that one was pretty weak. Especially with Fox ham fistedly having to say "gun" for the pun to work, when someone would probably just ask "how does it work?"
>>78656615
Because we are all competing for the same small pot of gold.

New Vegas was Obsidian.
>>78658978
not him but the inventory system is still the same from Fallout 3, by Bethesda. Obsidian essentially built giant maps, new equipment assests, rendered a few new monster models, and tweaked some of the existing features while adding a bit more. They were essentially a super mod team

>>78656338

So someone explain to me how the Penny Arcade guys can't make comics about video games anymore because they have kids, but Katie can become a nuclear engineer and still put out funny comics about games?
>>78659814
Kids like shit games and take a lot of time, while Katie has become a stronger nerd.
>>78659814
because the money's in conventions not comics
>>78659814
Perhaps once Norrin puts a bun in her oven she'll also become a nofunallowed parent?
>>78659516
That's usually a running concept in the comic, no one ever picks the trainer that matches their gender.
>>78659837
I assume being a nuclear engineer takes a lot of time too.
>>78655144
I have played and completed every Pokemon game since yellow during release, I never used guides or the internet because I personally believe its one of the few series that should be enjoyed without them.
I only just found out about existence of shinys 2 months ago.
![comic240[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/RJVorYs.png "comic240[1].png")
I can relate to that one.
>>78659666
Bethesda bluntly forced them to use FO3 assets to make the game.
>>78659951
Nigger what where you thinking when you found that red Gyarados then
>>78660070
Just figured it was just a red Pokemon .
>>78655127
It's not a Days of Ruin joke. The joke is just that the COs in the first two games are upbeat when there's a war going on.
>>78659951
oh man, the only time I ever found out about them was finding a shiny Natu in Gold out of the blue. Either I accidentally switched it off before saving or I let it get away, I forget which, but I spent hours subsequently in that tiny patch of grass in ruins of Alph trying to find that same Natu. Never found another shiny in my life as far as I'm aware.
>>78660087
Me too, thought it was just a one of a kind, a fixed part of the game story.
>>78657157
Muh nigga
>>78659483
thats because she coloured it the actual colour of rosalina's dress, rather than the team coloured bright blue the writer of that comic envisioned
>>78660156
I know, but >>78655106 said he was waiting for another Advance Wars game, and Days of Ruin was the last game of the series and there might not be another since it was a failure.
>>78660279
My apologies. Every time that comic gets posted, there's about a 50% chance of someone replying with a comment about Days of Ruin's tone shift.
>>78654761
Not even memeing but the
third row of panels is entirely unneccessary and ruins the joke.
>>78660324
it's an abridged version of a discussion that does occur in game so I feel it works well enough
>>78656425
Yeah, look at that retard wearing... wait, that is a drawing, there is no one in there wearing actual clothing. It could be drawn wearing clown clothes and it wouldn't mean absolutely anything. You're just a faggot.
