10/29/07 [DMFA #837] - Tim McCarver is a terrible commentator

[Tapewolf]

I think that Mab exterminating the group that currently includes the guys whose names are included in the two main comic titles (DMFA + Abel's Story) would make people shut up for more than just a day or two

It would probably exterminate the donations as well...

Everyone knows your misery and kind forced payment feeds Amber!

Amber could abandon DMFA and switch the entire comic concept over to "Anthropomorphic Muffins and their Adventures in Happy Fun Country", and people would still donate. *helpless shrug*

i know i would...

[Alondro]

Buuuuuut... Dan could be reborn through Dark Magic and return to seek vengeance upon Mab, who woukld by then be revelling in her ebil and ruling with pwnage due to her confiscating Jyrras' magically-run mega-weapons of DOOM!!!

Dan, with his mighty spirit sword imbued the power of all the slain Cubi souls would trounce Mab in a climactic battle the likes of which are so grand and magnificent they could never be animated even with the most advanced CG imaginable! 

And then the world would explodiate and the comic would turn into something about human workers with bad managers, thus ensuring huge ratings.  The End! 

[Fuyudenki]

that sounds like you put Charlene, Dilbert, and the old World Of Darkness in a blender and sprayed the results all over the room.

I don't know.  After destroying the universe, wiping out a single planet doesn' seem so impressive.

Meh, just look at DBZ.  Every friggin time somebody blew up a city, they were all impressed and terrified, even though Vegeta supposedly could've blown up the Earth when he only had a power level of 18,000.   

*demonstrates*  Oh no!  He killed that one single guy!  Even though his power level is like 234,937,846,473 and he could vaporize a galaxy by farting, we'll still be all awed and horrified!

And it still worked.  DBZ still had huge ratings and made $$$$$$$.  That's what Amber's banking on.

would give a new meaning to the "Moons of Doom"

[MaskedRetriever]

Well, I don't think thats this curse will keep Kria away from him...

If in doubt, Albanion being part of the council that sent her to observe Jyrras will. About her private interest in him, well, that would actually mean she'd act as his protector in a crisis. So it's all good from what I see.

Yeah but there's very little in place to keep her from mauling him for fun and profit.   

[Amber Williams]

Granted if DMFA ends...that does leave me the time to start up Mikelo's story as well as Apartment Complexity...hmmmm....

[Jigsaw Forte]

Granted if DMFA ends...that does leave me the time to start up Mikelo's story as well as Apartment Complexity...hmmmm....

Damn it, guys, stop giving her ideas! 

[Brunhidden]

perhaps suggesting DMFA updates Mondays, mikelo on Wednesdays, apartment complexity on Fridays, and abels story probably ending to take some of the load off.... eh, makes sense but would be a little confusing.

on the note of dan having to defeat mab and the fae... part of the charm of DMFA is that nobody really has power. the fae and demons and whatnot may be powerful but theyre still people and such. dan is not a level whatever paladin, jyjy does not do 12 D6 damage with his gatling guns, and all the bad guys know that blowing up the world means your bored for a very long time.  perhaps though finding a loophole, like finding out a common household item repels fae or finding a way to seal them in bottles or whatnot- i could not imagine dan swording mabb, but i could see him cram her into a bottle and shake it like a all hell

[oriana3k]

This scene also reveals a possible ulterior motive.

Also, Mab reminds me of the babe.

What babe?  The babe with the powaaa- *smacked*

.....I can't believe I delurked for that.


..........I feel dirty.

[Psaakyrn]

Get back to work?

Given the main thing Mab has personally contributed to in his lab is the patchs, one could assume that this is that Mab refers too. Alternatively, if one considers the natural abilities of Fae, it could also refer to "technological" weapons which Fae supposedly has least power over..

[Alondro]

Granted if DMFA ends...that does leave me the time to start up Mikelo's story as well as Apartment Complexity...hmmmm....

*Charline ooooo!*  Can I gets to be powergamer and try to merge technology with the Fae Realm to siphon all the Fae power into myself to become teh ulTIMate Super Sucubyan, ending up destroying the universe?!  That would be keen!  *Charline likes the idea of being responsible for the destruction of a whole universe*  No one would EVER forget such an evil act!   I'd be feared forever! 

*Charles erms*  No one would be left to remember it.  Anywhere.  Ever.

*Charline ohs*  Well that's no fun.   

[SpottedKitty]

Going back to the strip for a moment, can anyone make out Rose's expression in that last panel? Her "invisible" mouth is right on top of the edge of the wall and hedge behind her, so I can't tell if she's looking thoughtful or smirking mischievously at the prospect of "causing trouble".

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Looking thoughtful.

[Aleolus]

Now to test your knowledge of wonderful movies!
10 *holds up ten fingers* internets to the first person who correctly identifies the original movie for the headbar of this comic!  I'll include it below, for if it changes before anyone guesses it
'Dance magic, dance magic.  Jump magic, jump magic"

(And oriana3k, you are not qualified to answer, because you clearly already know.  Sorry!  )

[Tapewolf]

Now to test your knowledge of wonderful movies!
'Dance magic, dance magic.  Jump magic, jump magic"

That's going to be Labyrinth.  Curiously I came across the following while digging up some obsolete code:


//
//  What kind of magic spell to use?
//

//#define USE_DLMALLOC_SBRK         // Fast on EVC3, broken on EVC4, trim totally broken on CE
//#define USE_JOES_F***ED_SBRK      // You don't want to know
#define USE_STOLEN_PERL_SBRK      // Very, very fast, works in EVC4 but doesn't trim


**EDIT**

I hasten to add that this code isn't being used anymore.  And we did ask the author of the Perl-CE port if we could use his sbrk() implementation

...and now we are very, very offtopic.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Heh. 8 minutes, 2 seconds. Well done, TW. ;-]

[AnizInDisguise]

*Charline worries*  Uh-oh... what if Mab's plan involves exterminating the cubi!

Good. That would shut up the "all cubi all the time" crowd for a day or two.

Or maybe it would just make us send even more flaming hot emails to Amber, and cause a lot more angry posts to appear.

In other news, I want SOULS! 

[Tapewolf]

I want SOULS! 

You'll have them.  When we've finished with the vault you can tear the whole place apart looking for them - until then we do not alter the plan.

**EDIT**
Perhaps I shouldn't have done that...

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Perhaps I shouldn't have done that...

I'll let you know. After we finish with the vault... ;-]

Tapewolf, you really like your Die Hard, don;t you?

"Ladies and gentlemen; due to the VersaLife Corporation's legacy of greed throughout the globe,
they are to be taught a lesson in the real use of power. You will be witnesses."

Ooh!  Ooh!  I know!  I know!  Is it The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer?

(Also, that part of the chorus is properly ``Dance, magic dance!  Jump, magic jump!'')

(also also)

[Reese Tora]

*Wonders if certain someones aren't going to get themselves thrown in to the Bog of Eternal Stench.*

DMFA faries are much nicer.

[Aleolus]

Tapewolf, you win those ten internets!  Use them wisely, or else Charlene may decide she wants your soul!

[Tapewolf]

Tapewolf, you really like your Die Hard, don;t you?

Yes.  Doesn't look like AnizInDisguise does, though 

And that's the problem with having a head full of movie quotes... they tend to come out again.
