Wasn't that one last week sometime? :)

A D&D joke! And a funny one, too...

Haha, that was hilarious. :)

Hahaha! :D

... anyone else get it?

Gods filled with vindiction and bad ideas = Game Masters

Right?

I sure as hell didn't get it

Black Mage killed the dinosaurs and allowed the rodents to rule Earth who would eventually evolve in to every mammal that exists today and through out recorded (written and geological) history.

This however creates a paradox since Final Fantasy characters are the reason Human Beings exist while Human Beings created Final Fantasy so now in the grand scheme of the universe one cannot exist without the other. If Final Fantasy games are no longer made, Humans, along with all mammals, will slowly die out. This has an interesting effect on the game industry since any system that has Final Fantasy games have done extremely well for company profit margins and shares; People buy them because they have an ultimate relation to them.

Putting my theories a side for a moment and having not figured the distance of the X planet (on the other side of the sun) to Earth and the speed of the Magic Blast I cannot make any claims of factual evidence that the Black Mage who fired the Magic Blast could have fired it after the he was already created by Humans, meaning that the Magic Blast could have traveled through a worm hole and struck Earth 65 million years ago though it (in theory) could have been fired as early as last week on another planet behind the sun.

Taking that in to consideration it would still mean that the Final Fantasy characters destroyed the dinosaurs and began that reign of the mammals but ultimately we would have created the Final Fantasy characters already so in reality, Human Beings are responsible for destroying the dinosaurs and allowing for mammals to become the dominant species. And in doing so we have acted against God's will and interrupted the flow of events 65 million years ago and killed billions of living things who we now depend on for fuel.

Since their bodies ultimately became fossil fuel which we discovered in the 1850's and was used to power many different mechanical devices most note worthy being vehicle transportation which wouldn't exist until the early 1900's which has become an important staple to our daily lives and societal structure. We have had 2 World Wars because of oil and many smaller wars because of it, the entire Middle East region is in conflict with the rest of the world because of oil, many different animals including but not limited to marine mammals (other aquatic life), birds, mammals, and the like have suffered heavy losses because of drilling and drastic changes in the environment and then we ourselves are put in danger since the oil that is used is highly toxic and produces clouds of poison which hangs, sometimes invisibly above all our major cities.

In fact in some cities around the world the clouds of poison are so intense you cannot leave your house without a face mask as is the current state of Japan. God has smite us by making us rely on the remains of the ancient life that has caused countless deaths and will surely cause countless more. In fact, the desire for oil could be our undoing and could eventually destroy us economically, socially and possibly wipe us out not unlike an animal that no longer has prey to feed upon.

God Creates Earth and gives it Life.
Man uses video game characters to destroy God's creation.
Man is forced to live off the remains of the destroyed life.
The destroyed life, God's original creation, destroys Man.

The cycle complete, it is repeated again and again, forced by a paradox and forged by God as punishment for our deeds.

Do you get it now, Fittisize, dumbass?

Lazy do you stay up nights thinking this stuff up?

There is a one in twenty chance of anything failing. That's a D&D reference of course (which should be obvious because Red Mage talks in D&D terms a lot of the time) -- to hit rolls a d20. A 1 is a critical miss, a 20 a critical hit -- a 1 in twenty chance of anything failing. :)

That certainly could be one too...

I sorta got the D&D joke even though I've never played it before. I knew that the die is 20-sided, but I would've missed the joke had ABF not pointed out that there was a D&D reference in this comic. Now that I think of it, I guess there's a 1 in 20 chance that people will completely miss the D&D reference. :D

As I said, Red Mage... he talks mostly about comic book and D&D stuff, not Final Fantasy, I'd say.

... to miss a thing that big, that volcano must have a really good save vs magic... :D (remember, in D&D armor class and saving throws for things like magic, poison, etc. don't affect how much damage you take, they affect whether you get hit or not...)

But lazy, you forget the destined future, the Cataclysm in which the robots are staged to become the dominate life on this planet!

And lo, for it would seem that after the Final Fantasy games spawn us as you have told, that the Megaman universe affects the future. But not exactly like FF. For, the future is destined to happen EXACTLY LIKE the Megaman games, which have predicted the future PURELY by chance, and not a single one of the major people in this future will have ANY idea that there is a video game series called Megaman. And then, eons from now, Zero, a creation of evil turned good, will unite the universe in a form beyond matter/energy, and all will become pure space/time, thus surviving the universal heat death, and will become an ultimate life form named Roy. This being will realize that all the universe exists for one moment of sheer perfection. The being will strive to recreate that moment in an infinite loop from then onward, thus showing that the whole Black Mage thing wasn't AGAINST the will of God at all, but of Mod, God's little brother.

Oh yes, here's that moment of perfection.

Speaking of 8-bit, this one's pretty funny. That's why I love this comic.

Ah, fact that the guy had two jokes going on at once through the whole comic is funny enough. The fact that either one BY ITSELF would have been sufficient to make that an excellent strip makes this guy a comedy LEGEND.

The first row is only funny if you read the last few strips, though... but if you did, it's pretty good. :D

Gotta give Black Mage credit he doesn't give up.

:D

Did White Mage ever heal Thief?

Half-Elven Ranger is my favorite D&D class... :)

And that comic is very funny, as always. One of the best webcomics...

:D

Gotta love the berserker class. Well, actually that's been my least favorite class. Sure there's all those boosted stats like speed and attack, but loosing all control of that character just isn't appealing enough to make it worth it to me. For that matter, I only ever cast "berserk" on the enemy rather than myself, basically so they can't use magic, only attacks.

Crystal lake, sounds somehow familiar...

Not the next one but ... heck, I'll post the few since then... :)
