mahesh throws a flamethrower to dudley and pulls out he-mans sword and says "BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL" and kills the grid bugThese electronically based creatures are not native to this universe. They appear to come from a world whose laws of motion are radically different from ours. Tron looked to his mate and pilot. "I'm going to check on the beam connection, Yori. You two can keep a watch out for grid bugs." Tron paced forward along the slender catwalk that still seemed awfully insubstantial to Flynn, though he knew it to be amazingly sturdy. He gazed after Tron, asking himself what in the world a grid bug was, and hoping that the beam connection -- to which he'd given no thought whatsoever until this moment -- was healthy and sound."

Wow, that's a wealthy gangsta gridbug :) Go team gridbug! They should throw dudley to team antThis giant variety of the ordinary ant will fight just as fiercely as its small, distant cousin. Various varieties exist, and they are known and feared for their relentless persecution of their victims.

Dudley should hire some lichenThe chamber was of unhewn rock, round, as near as might be, eighteen or twenty feet across, and gay with rich variety of fern and moss and lichen. The fern was in its winter still, or coiling for the spring-tide; but moss was in abundant life, some feathering, and some gobleted, and some with fringe of red to it. [ Lorna Doone, by R.D.

If I wereIn 1573, the Parliament of Dole published a decree, permitting the inhabitants of the Franche-Comte to pursue and kill a were-wolf or loup-garou, which infested that province, "notwithstanding the existing laws concerning the chase." The people were empowered to "assemble with javelins, halberds, pikes, arquebuses and clubs, to hunt and pursue the said were-wolf in all places where they could find it, and to take, burn, and kill it, without incurring any fine or other penalty." The hunt seems to have been successful, if we may judge from the fact that the same tribunal in the following year condemned to be burned a man named Giles Garnier, who ran on all fours in the forest and fields and devoured little children, "even on Friday." The poor lycanthrope, it appears, had as slight respect for ecclesiastical feasts as the French pig, which was not restrained by any feeling of piety from eating infants on a fast day.

I like nethack and all, but this is simply unfunny.

I agree with "Me"'s comment, actually. The comic definitely got a lot worse in recent times - mostly, it seems, because it tries to be funny based on characters and their quirks now instead of by being based on Nethack.

Well, thats one of the risks with having a group comic, because if you notice, recently Dion has passed the flame to everybody else.

Indeed, and I think that's just what's the problem. Ah well - with luck, those who do the comic nowadays will either improve or get tired of it. ^_~ (Sorry, guys. It's not like I don't appreciate the effort, but I don't want to lie and say I like it when I don't, either.)

I didn't think it was that bad. I wasn't the funniest one I've ever seen, but it was still kind of funny.

Dion had bombs too during his career. Getting into the nethack mood of this comic takes some effort and some "out of bounds" bundling with the outside world should well be allowed. It could well help to play nethack regularly too but who has time for that (sigh). Then again, after a few dozen ascensions one should know quite a lot. If it makes you any happier those that I've sent in are nethack based but they wont appear for a while yet.

I have actually been playing nethack for several years now. Sometimes humor needs to stretch reality a bit, i.e. spongebob living in a pineapple, three fingered characters, etc etc.

Platinum Yendorian Express CardThis is an ancient artifact made of an unknown material. It is rectangular in shape, very thin, and inscribed with unreadable ancient runes. When carried, it grants the one who carries it ESP, and reduces all spell induced damage done to the carrier by half. It also protects from magic missile attacks. Finally, its power is such that when invoked, it can charge other objects.

Fathead: Yes. TouristThe road from Ankh-Morpork to Chrim is high, white and winding, a thirty-league stretch of potholes and half-buried rocks that spirals around mountains and dips into cool green valleys of citrus trees, crosses liana-webbed gorges on creaking rope bridges and is generally more picturesque than useful. Picturesque. That was a new word to Rincewind the wizard (BMgc, Unseen University [failed]). It was one of a number he had picked up since leaving the charred ruins of Ankh-Morpork. Quaint was another one. Picturesque meant -- he decided after careful observation of the scenery that inspired Twoflower to use the word -- that the landscape was horribly precipitous. Quaint, when used to describe the occasional village through which they passed, meant fever- ridden and tumbledown. Twoflower was a tourist, the first ever seen on the discworld. Tourist, Rincewind had decided, meant "idiot".

This is like a large-scale treasure hunt, with clues scattered all over the continent, a few false leads, Mystical Masters as game-show hosts, and the Dark Lord and the Terrain to make the Quest interestingly difficult. [...] In order to be assured of your future custom, the Management has a further Rule: Tourists, far from being rewarded for achieving their Quest Object, must then go on to conquer the Dark Lord or set about Saving the World, or both. And why not? By then you will have had a lot of practice in that sort of thing and, besides, the Quest Object is usually designed to help you do it.
