OOTS #546 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Brother Arthur]

O-Chul is the man. There is hope yet.

[BRC]

"I have that lampshade you requested"
"Just hang it anywhere"
PRICELESS, but I can't figure out which trope is being lampshaded...unless they are lampshading the trope of lampshading!

[Timberboar]

Hang a lampshade on it. Heh, classic.

[The Hop Goblin]

No.. not the lampshade... anything but the lampshade!!!

[BooTheHamster]

Absolutely amazing.

[archon_huskie]

Interesting perspective on the different views of the characters.

[Bitzeralisis]

What just happened?

[Callista]

We just got a confirmation that O-Chul knows nothing (and is seriously badass) and Redcloak is being way too stubborn for his own good.

Hang in there, O-Chul. We're all pulling for you!

Well, except for the die-hard Redcloak fans, who are probably yelling at their screens right now, 'cause that green-skinned, stubborn blob of Evil Cleric is seriously not thinking this through!

[shaddy_24]

Hehe, Redcloak is getting desperate. He needs to know what he will encounter before he goes, if only to justify why he stayed that long, but it seems he has no access to it. That must be irritating.

[Remirach]

Redcloak's colors went back to normal in panel 8...

Is this confirmation he is, indeed, Lawful Evil? I mean not that there was much doubt, but he seems to be relating to O-Chul because of the Lawful aspect here.

Also: Oh, Gods (between this comic and my love for GRRM I just know I'm going to wind up saying that phrase aloud and getting a LOT of weird looks) but I love O-Chul's rebuttal and then Redcloak's "..." [pause.] "I like the way I phrased it better." Whoa, PWNED by the Paladin! In a LOGIC contest, no less!

[The Wanderer]

LMFAO @ the lampshade hanging!

Oh, and thanks for helping to both lampshade and hopefully dispel a lot of silly discussion from the past few days.

Yes, O-Chul did lie. No, the paladins don't know about the other gates.

Get over it folks.

[IronMouse]

I seriously do not get the lampshade….anybody care to help?

[Swordguy]

@ Ironmouse:

Lanpshade Hanging


Well done, Giant! Well done!

[Deuce]

Hey, we have psionics in the actual story and not just the kids book! Of course, it seems the "magic 8 ball" and fortune cookies are just as good in Redcloak's eyes.

[Timberboar]

Hey, we have psionics in the actual story and not just the kids book! Of course, it seems the "magic 8 ball" and fortune cookies are just as good in Redcloak's eyes.

Nah, what's hilarious there is that Redcloak thinks the magic 8 ball and the fortune cookies are MORE USEFUL than the 18th level Incarnum user. :P

And honestly, I think he might be right.

[Zare]

Umm, seriously, Redcloak should be smart enough to realize that O-Chul doesn't know anything.

[The Extinguisher]

"I have that lampshade you requested"

They are lampshading the lampshading of the fact that it is true. Or something like that.

[Maulrus]

I'm starting to like O-Chul more and more.

[TARINunit9]

GRAPHICAL ERROR DETECTED: In the 3rd row (I think) Redcloak's skin color is different than the other panels.

That aside, I can get right onto the generic compliments and generic rooting for characters I like!

[Lira]

I loved that lampshade comment.

By the way, was that three comics in three days in a row? :D It's been a great weekend.

[EvilElitest]

I wonder, is that Blue still around?

Medieval philosophy ftw?

GRAPHICAL ERROR DETECTED: In the 3rd row (I think) Redcloak's skin color is different than the other panels.

I'm thinking it's some sort of effect comparable to a blush... whether it is Health related, or what, I don't know... but it would make a killer diversion thread. I'll have to start one, STAT! Conspiracy theories, AWAY!

[BRC]

Umm, seriously, Redcloak should be smart enough to realize that O-Chul doesn't know anything.

Actually, RC is too smart for his own good, he's overthinking the whole thing, refusing the accept the simple explanation. What Redcloak is doing is saying "If I was the head of the saphire guard, would I leave the other gates alone because of this oath, OR would I take steps to prevent reality from unraveling, oath or no oath." In that regard, he is correct, the leader of the sapphire guard DID think like that! That is exactally what Shojo's opinion was. What Redcloak is NOT considering is how stubbornly lawful the paladins are, he dosn't believe they could be stupid enough to risk existance for this oath.

[Trazoi]

I also enjoyed the lampshading of the lampshading there - I'm a sucker for good meta-humour like that.

[PhantomFox]

That was great. I loved the lampshading, that cracked me up as soon as I saw it.

[Pyro]

Hah, Redcloak just got burned. I that his planning and logic are also his oversight. Awesome comic.

[dogmac]

Logic is obviously Redcloak's main stat.

Great comic Giant

(though the lampshade confused me, but not anyone else. Sigh.... Must look up references)

[OmegaDonut]

Is that a... Xvart?
