Someone has a Diva complex. unlike that whiner Geisha has acutely proven that he was some worth in this show
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:10 am
I think you just made a WHOLE LOT of people really happy. Most of us probably would have kept reading anyways, but that certainly is a relief.
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:12 am
On a side note: You REALLY enjoy encouraging Slick fangirls, don’t you?
September 23rd, 2012 at 12:38 am
I think that gives Slick the third kill on the show.
Also, what do you know, another player with an inflated view of themselves that bights the dust because of team Gemini. Way to go team!!!!!!
I guess even Lady luck hates a whiner.
September 23rd, 2012 at 1:09 am
that would mean first and third. he’s on a roll with the odd numbered kills
September 23rd, 2012 at 1:49 am
Jesus christo…Someone get some bleach and perhaps a hose!
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:12 am
…
So, yeah. Standing around in that place is dangerous too! I guess our friendly “meat packers” are not so friendly with their supply or visitors.
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:27 am
Good news: The body in the bag has been accounted for. Slick is safe for another episode.
Better news: It wasn’t anybody in the Player Mob anyone actually cared about. Zodiac? Interesting backstory that still needs to be fleshed out. Siege? If she goes Dead Inside, does that prove that she REALLY IS a person in a tin can? ;p Spiral Black? It was Talk Like a Pirate Day this week. Would YOU want to see him go?
But Flood? He wiped out a bunch of white caller crooks. Big whoop. Without a metric tonne of character development to flesh him out, he really WAS just cannon fodder.
September 23rd, 2012 at 2:49 am
It’s not over yet more. more then on person can die on missions you know so far i’m glad it’s not a TPK
September 23rd, 2012 at 4:36 am
This Slick Fangrrl is extremely happy with the plot thus far. And Slick carrying Gangrel is adorable. Besides, every time I saw London’s name, I thought of the “flood” in Halo. *shivers*
September 23rd, 2012 at 7:56 am
@novawolf wow good catch. i didn’t notice her peeking out of slick’s pouch
September 23rd, 2012 at 10:28 am
I, for one, would have kept reading *look of loyal adoration*
Not only does Slick claim the most kills, haven’t Team Gemini claimed all of the Last Res0rt team owned kills? Gemini is deadliest za world!!1!!! XD
Well, if Daisy (tele-gank) and Jason (best shooter) actually worked on a team, that might not be a case…but that ain’t happening.
Nikolai: She does seem to feed them quite often, doesn’t she?
September 23rd, 2012 at 5:24 pm
@Nikolai: Less “encouraging” the fangirls and more kicking myself for not making Slick the third bottle opener design instead of Jason — it’s not that I didn’t think Slick was popular enough to pull it off, I just didn’t expect that kind of response.
September 23rd, 2012 at 6:55 pm
I am pleased that Slick is (mostly) intact. We can’t lose our weapons-grade prettyboy, now can we? :b
September 23rd, 2012 at 7:50 pm
@Janus Indeed..he’s a pretty boy, who by turns can do both the Epic Warrior Stance *and* the Shy-Boy stance. (At this this point, I’d figure that Geisha probably still gives him the willies, but from Geisha’s side it’s probably more because it’s hilarious fun to yank Slick’s chain rather than any real intentions).
I wonder if Melody is ever going to ‘borrow’ Slick for an evening like Veled did to Jig a while back.
Not to mention–good thing Jig has the protection of being an Author Avatar–otherwise she very likely might find herself losing her spot as Main Character.
September 23rd, 2012 at 7:52 pm
Meanwhile, a thought occurs to me–greenie there obviously should have learned to be a penitent man…
September 23rd, 2012 at 8:16 pm
Hm, I wonder, is it an actual “specifically meant to kill intruders and meddling kids” kind of trap, or did the mooks simply move the energy beam/force field cutting arrays off of the carving line?
Also, its probably a good thing that the beam/field missed greenies gun there.
September 23rd, 2012 at 11:09 pm
@’Saw I’d say Slick probably has the largest real life fangirl population of the comic, plus for those of us who aren’t fangirls, he’s just plain fun to have around. Jason’s an interesting character to have around, and fun to annoy, but I don’t think he has the same likableness that Slick has.
Also, regardless of intentions, more stuff like the last panel and you may quickly attract a far larger fangirl population, be warned though, most will probably be coming over from Anime and Manga circles.
September 24th, 2012 at 1:59 am
@jigsaw third bottle opener design ?? is that a Jin reference?
September 24th, 2012 at 9:39 am
@e_voyager: No, it’s a reference to these real-life bottle openers you can purchase in the not-fully-annnounced-yet-fully-functional online LR store.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:49 am
@on “bottle opener topic”: ‘Sides which, we all know the best bet for opening a “bottle” of ‘Jin is Addy – she’s the most experienced.
I’m…just going to go put myself in the time-out corner now…
September 24th, 2012 at 12:01 pm
*smacks The_Rippy_one with rolled up newspaper*
September 24th, 2012 at 3:17 pm
Hmmm. Between Superjail!, Deadman Wonderland, and Last Res0rt, I’m starting to see a pattern.
September 24th, 2012 at 3:53 pm
@ChaosMageX I’m happy to say LR came first, of the 3 you just listed.
September 24th, 2012 at 3:59 pm
Here’s to excellently meta titles, horrified old men (those teeth!), and Gemini being second in command!
So…is Slick (yay Slick!) a nonchalant, nonlethal ninja, or did he just accidentally fall on that mook?
September 24th, 2012 at 6:57 pm
Crazy thing now they are doings some tv show called last resort i say it being advertise alone the express way. it seems to be about a nuclear sub gone rouge or something.
September 25th, 2012 at 3:19 pm
@e_voyager: It is really, REALLY bizarre to see those adds and hear “Last Resort” spoken aloud. It’s certainly not what I associate with that title! xD
September 27th, 2012 at 4:47 am
…why does Slick have a pouch? Only the female marsupials have pouches. And what the hell has he got in his pouch? Also, Soylent Green >:3
September 27th, 2012 at 9:45 am
@Lavabat
1. All Talmi have pouches, not just females.
2. I’m pretty sure that’s Gangrel
3. Yay I’m not the only one who thought that!
September 27th, 2012 at 11:34 am
heh i think most of us though that as soon as it became apparent what type of meats they plant was packing (even people who’ve never read the book thanks the futurama )
September 27th, 2012 at 4:45 pm
It’s all just processed protein in the end, right? Who’d know the difference? Besides, 90% of it tastes like chicken, anyways!
September 27th, 2012 at 5:13 pm
sorry i’d rather go vegen then eat a reconised think speaking spices
September 27th, 2012 at 8:19 pm
@The_Rippy_One: Everything tastes like chicken. What was there, some sort of common ancestor species which happened to taste like chicken?
@nikolai60: All Talmi have pouches, eh? Okie Dokie! And who is Gangrel? Sorry new reader who sort of rushed it…
September 27th, 2012 at 10:11 pm
@Lavabat OH! Well, welcome then, mind you we’re a talkative bunch so be prepared for some pretty interesting discussions at times. You’re probably going to want to go back and reread both the comic and footnotes (when they appear) in more detail at some point, as well as look for the longer comment pages, this comic is wicked detailed, which is why we love it. If you have questions feel free to ask, one of us, or Ms. ‘Saw herself, will try to answer as soon as possible.
As for Gangrel, she’s sort of a sentient PDA/Phone/Computer/Tazer/whatever else you can think of. She belongs to Jigsaw, but since the fiasco earlier that separated them she’s been promoted to ‘Temporary Executioner’, seeing as how she has that nice tazer: http://www.lastres0rt.com/2011/07/she-overclocked-her-taser/
September 27th, 2012 at 10:13 pm
she’s jigsaw’s cyberdoll and a member of team andromeda temporarily promoted to full Executor
September 28th, 2012 at 9:05 am
@nikolai60: Reread comic and foot notes? Roger will co!
Also, Slick looks odd without his tail tuft.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:48 pm
@nikolai60: You rock! ^_^
September 28th, 2012 at 4:51 pm
that right nikolai that was great. i was a bit slower then you
September 28th, 2012 at 5:42 pm
@Lavabat I think everyone’d look a little different with bits missing. Even so, I think ‘Saw is taking him, intentional or no, from ‘pampered pretty boy’ right into Bishounen territory.
@Rest Uh, thank you? lol wow, I didn’t realize someone else was trying to answer at same time, just trying to help, and make up for lack of real activity lately…
…two fraken minutes…wow…
September 28th, 2012 at 5:51 pm
@lavabat – Also, don’t worry too much if you forget something – between all of us, we manage to keep it together – we’re a pretty friendly group, to boot! I can think of a couple times where I put my foot in it, and no one removed my head or anything! Kudos Nik, well summed summation!
September 29th, 2012 at 12:34 pm
You know, it occurs to me–Slick’s had a chunk of his tail chopped off, but neither portion of it is bleeding, *nor* is he screaming in pain, just calmly asking where it went. Is this part of the armor suit functions, or something about Talmi anatomy?
September 29th, 2012 at 2:21 pm
@Vulpis: Maybe a bit of both? Their suits aren’t supposed to provide much protection on their own, but perhaps they give wounds some compression along with being skin-tight. I’d also think that there just isn’t much vasculature to bleed from near the tip of a Talmi’s tail, given how thin it is.
For the lack of screaming, I’d attribute that to the time that’s elapsed and/or Slick himself. It wouldn’t make for good television if the suits provided painkillers.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:00 pm
I sort of assume its painkillers – keeping your troops out of shock is a fairly sensible precaution to take.
I’m sort of curious if he’s going to go for a prosthetic, or if there is enough life support in the bit of suit that was removed to keep it alive and re-attachable. If Sulucamas is right about its vascular structure, it wouldn’t take much to keep that bit “not dead.”
September 29th, 2012 at 8:15 pm
Guysguysguys, I think we’re forgetting something important: GLITTER!!!!!!!
Remember? The nanotech in people that helps out in various ways? The stuff that in large amounts is bad, but in small amounts heals? The tail is small enough, it probably just blocked it off and is telling the nerves: Hey no pain here, move along.
Reattatching might be a bit more of a difficult process, but I bet he’s not rolling in pain, or bleeding out, from glitter work, since we saw Jigsaw and Daisy were still able to keep talking and stuff after their own wounds, even if they were limited in action. This clearly isn’t as bad, so I bet the glitter handles it better.
September 29th, 2012 at 8:54 pm
@nikolai the glitter probably helps but it would mean that slicks glitter has been upgraded some. remember that before when he was wound in the ear the medic ( Qin ) said that his only worry about slick was that he was bleeding more then he should from such a minor wound to the ear.
September 29th, 2012 at 10:01 pm
@e_voyager I’d bet they fixed the problem by now, either that or the Scout was using ‘unconventional’ ammunition. I again point to the events in the previous episode as proof. True Slick wasn’t the one wounded, but his should be at around the same level comparatively.
September 29th, 2012 at 10:29 pm
@Nikolai actually he was right through the ears you can see them here http://www.lastres0rt.com/2009/04/you-think-youd-notice-something-like-that/ and hear Qin’s explanation here http://www.lastres0rt.com/2009/04/bedside-manner-needs-work/ in face there’s s close up on one of them here as well though again non of the people shot seem to be in serious pain.
