This doesn’t really have anything to do with this strip, but I’m curious. Have you played Ori and the Blind Forest? It is an absolutely beautiful metroidvania styled platformer with an amazing story, beautiful art, fantastic soundtrack and awesome mechanics. It won multiple awards, has reviews averaging over 9/10 and even has a sequal coming soon!
I guess I got too wordy because my comment didn’t post.
Short version – Ori is great! I never finished it but I’m hoping the Switch version comes out before Will of the Wisps so I can play though the entire game.
I only have two complaints: I prefer more clearly defined biomes so you don’t have to check the map so much; and the orb auto attack lacked impact. I’d rather have direct control of combat instead of escorting a drone that auto targets when in range.
looks like those little things will be changed! sense Seins back in the spirit tree, it looks like they gave ori his own weapons like some sort of spirit staff/sword thing and a bow!
my wallet is gonna die 15 times over from buying the game and every plush I can find. worth it l!
Nicole’s reaction in the first panel: “You’re still working on that thing?” Exactly what I thought when I saw that the comic was about the arcade cabinet project from last winter.
Having worked in the Arcade Video Game Industry, and having to do a few Jamma adaptations to various cabinets myself, I approve of the instructions in Japanese.
And, of course, the Mortal Combat boards were also labeled in Japanese.
Bonus was that both had pictures.
Extra Credit, we converted some old Ms. PacMan games into Jamma Plug & Play.
P.S. Watch out with the power supply, they got some serious amperage.
well, if it only happened ONCE…..xD
This can only end terribly
This can only end hilariously.
This can only end unexpectedly
This can only end hilariously yet unexpectedly terribly
No Mario Maker? Surprising.
To be fair, he did Mario Maker for the first one. I’m not sure if Tim would want to do another one for the sequel or not.
Oh, there’ll be more Mario Maker. I have something special planned.
You’re missing some things , Nicole : first aid dressings , phone number for the ambulance and hospital ………. and a priest in case of ^_^”
I love Kade using his claws to open the box in place of a cutter
Get Riley to help
She would probably do it
If you asked her nice
“How hard can it be?”
Have there ever been a more worrying five word question? X3 I hope we get a flashback of that one time ^^
Inb4 his tail catches on fire again.
Well, what can go wrong? If I can build a pc, so can… Wait, the instructions are in Japanese?.. Well… Crud.
Just learn Japanese, simple!

kinda addicted to it at the moment and wanted to know what you think of it with your vast experience in the video games department.

Kade’s tail song : “- And i burn , burn , burn” ^_^”
“♫And I got shock, shock, shock treatment♫”
“I wasn’t expecting the wiring diagram to be in Japanese… or in black ack and white…”

man I’ve gotta wonder what jobs they have that allow them to buy all this darn viddy game stuff haha xD
the *dream*
I think we all know where this is going. Kade overloads the machine and as a result is pulled into Video Land.
Maybe this will be another singeworthy experience. X3
… So will the arcade feature old arcade games or will it feature newer games but on an arcade.

ah the “goat” joke. Considering there may be youngsters and easily offended I refuse to elaborate.
Elaborate in a Ceasar +3 cipher. Then it’s safe.
How did you know that my first thought was about his fur?
This is the first I’ve heard about this arcade cabinet that Kade is fixing up. Was it mentioned before?
