Title: 01/19/08 [#59] - That man is chubby.
Post by: stiletto on January 19, 2008, 07:48:44 PM
And Jig is STILL vibrating on the floor, the poor Talmi. At least White Noise isn't as... I dunno, uppity acting as Arikos? More polite as far as the criminals of Last Resort go. Perhaps White Noise has some resistance to Celeste stuff. Light Child perhaps?

And boy, it sure looks like Arikos' face has chubbed up there.

Oh, and first four cast pages up. Do take a look.

Interesting.  And the cast thing will be useful as I can only remember a couple of their names...

I've spent some time staring at the page where they're all named, so I'm getting fairly good at it now.

And I also just noticed that there's text behind some of Arikos' word bubbles. My laptop screen tends to blend all those light colors together so I didn't see it the first time. If I were to bother translating that type into 'normal' type, would I find that it actually says something, or that it's just Jig playing with her keyboard.

It's all in kanji, or possibly katakana (I wouldn't necessarily recognise the difference without assistance)

I suspect it's "listen to me, believe me, I'm trustworthy" subtext, using Celeste traits. And White Noise is ignoring it.

I note that the dossier on Arikos suggests that he has some "issues" with Dead Inside. That may be affecting how he deals with Jigsaw...

... and, later, one presumes how Jigsaw deals with him. Or to him, as appropriate.

For what it's worth, it's Dark Arts from Blambot (http://www.blambot.com). (I seem to use his stuff exclusively now)

your suspicions as to what it says are pretty dead-on though, for what it's worth. :) I don't expect people to translate them, but at least writing out something beats foregoing all pretense.

You don't expect? But we're fans! ;-]

Seriously, what's the point of having a comic if you don't have those few nutso fans that do things like that. We want to garner every detail!

After that, we'll go and translate Last Resort into some funny language, like Latin or Klingon.

And then there's the slightly more lazy fans who prefer to watch the hardcore fans do all that hardwork, while we wait for everything to be revealed in time.

And speaking of lazy, Arikos got fat in prison. Geez

By the way, thank you Jig, for the Cast Pages. They will be appreciated.

Is it just me, or is Geisha's image messed up at top? Or is that spose to be there to prevent seeing the face?

You see it too? I think it's there on purpose then. You apparenty aren't supposed to look directly into Geisha's face without his mask, and I don't think he's wearing it in his mug shot.

silly, when it's accidental, jpegs corrupt from the bottom up :)

I thought hiding the face that was was rather clever when I first saw to profile pic on Jiggy's DA.

he looks so much like a chick i know i keep thinking of him as a girl... weird.

but yeah, if someone with a rap sheet like he does calls someone 'evil'- does that mean they're super evil or that they're actually probably pretty nice?

I also wonder how much of jiggy in the fetal position is the mind reading and how much is her fighting off a concusion.
