I don't see this happening, for the simple reason that Clix aren't visceral enough for your average fratboy. Still, I see this as good for years of humor.

While I don't conisder myslef the "average fratboy," I do feel it prudent to point out that myself and some of my brothers play/played heroclix and thus could concieveably gloam to this. I personally plan on waiting to see if the game takes off be fore investing much into it. Just doesn't ahve the same appeal as heroclix for me.

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

Well, sure, but I'm assuming you guys aren't the epic assholes that drives everybody else on Live nuts. You'd teabag the corpse in an IRONIC sense, if you teabagged it at all. I just think it's unlikely HaloClix will broaden the appeal beyond those who already know the game.

[pope-j-rod.livejournal.com]

I agree with you on all points, just had to stand up and say "Hey, we're not all Douche Nozzles."

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

Fair enough, I was being a jackass for overgeneralizing in the first place. :-)

Hmm...

[absinthe-dot-ca.livejournal.com]

So, uh, Halo vs. Cthulhu anyone?

[madmanofprague.livejournal.com]

Do you wear pink shirts? ¬___¬

[pope-j-rod.livejournal.com]

Some do, some do not. I would say that it is not a dominant color in anyone's wardrobe. I do not because I do not look good in them.
My chapter wasa bit unusual though, as several of the brother got together to RPG at the house on ocassion. And there was the day long game of "Machiavelli" that we had a full board for.

Can you post this in English, or at least provide subtitles?

[thebitterguy]

The problem with many PA cartoons is that they are essentially impenetrable to the non-gamer mind. In fact, many gamers find them a bit hard to penetrate.

Basic translation: Hey, guys! Frat boys (sorry, stop_no_dont play Halo and can act like dicks! They're gonna start playing HaloClix too! Look out!"

Oh, yeah: Call Cindy about a play.

Re: Hmm...

[thebitterguy]

Oh, man. OH, MAN.

Awe... (wait for it)... Some.

[redeem147.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. I forgot. *duh*

Bad me.

(And by Sorry, stop_no_dont I of course meant Sorry pope_j_rod. Those three part LJ ids are murder on the senile mind!)

PANEL ONE: Setup.

PANEL TWO: Unusual situation.

PANEL THREE: Humourous explanation.

*blink blink*

Okay. That was freaking funny.

As in I'm still in awe of how funny that is. I just translated it to experiences in Battle Net and those same people play the d20 WoW game.

AMUSED.

LJ cuts off part of this. Would you email me the original cartoon so I can send it to someone who looooovvves his Heroclix!

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

Since y'all are pretending it's "humourous", I'll pretend I'm laughing.

[thebitterguy]

Holy afterschool special moment, GD Batman.

Panel One: Blahblahblah
Panel Two: Wankery
Panel Three: Not funny punchline.

[madmanofprague.livejournal.com]

What, pretend necrophilia with tiny men ain't funny enough for you?

[madmanofprague.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's the formula.

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

Actually, I'm sure I'm not funny enough for that..

But hey.

To each.

'n all that.

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

Well, that's what Halo is for. Togetherness and love and respect for others.

Except when you're in a deathmatch. Then anything goes.

[thebitterguy]

Done, and done.
