I think that everytime Dudley starts a game it counts as a delayed suicide. Nice comic.

Two things: 1. What was the point of mentioning save scumming? You can get bones files anyway. 2. I don't think the word 'technically' was needed. Otherwise, it was good. Amusing even.

No, the point is that this guy is an exact duplicate of Dudley, right down to the inventory. Y'see, you copy a save file, go down a level, die, reload the save file, go down a level, then meet the bones of yourself. This information may or may not be useful in tomorrow's sequel strip.

By the way: as well as the fact that Dudley went and did a YASD-worthy deed, it's called "technically committed suicide" because Dudley was killed by Dudley.

I think Nameless meant that you could have just said "Dudley committed suicide" but I like it better your way.

Ah, but which Dudley was it? If PlayerThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often resent the intrusion of such beasts. They are capable of using weapons and magic, and it is even rumored that the Wizard of Yendor is a member of this species.

Edmund now ventured a little nearer, still keeping in the shadow of the arch as much as he could. He now saw from the way the lion was standing that it couldn't have been looking at him at all. ("But supposing it turns its head?" thought Edmund.) In fact it was staring at something else - namely a little dwarf who stood with his back to it about four feet away. "Aha!" thought Edmund. "When it springs at the dwarf then will be my chance to escape." But still the lion never moved, nor did the dwarf. And now at last Edmund remembered what the others had said about the White Witch turning people into stone. Perhaps this was only a stone lion. And as soon as he had thought of that he noticed that the lion's back and the top of its head were covered with snow. Of course it must be only a statue!
