Thinking of other things other than other ladies 3


Hey, guys. I'm back with yet another comic about my OCs in a lawyer-friendly version of the "Thinking about other women" meme.

Hebereke is a penguin, and therefore, Sunsoft would have paid his salaries in sardines and anchovies because penguins eat sardines and anchovies.

While Tectoy was known for being Brazil's distributor of Sega consoles such as the Sega Master System and the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, what we do not know is that Tectoy was also the distributor of a forgotten console called the Zeebo. Unfortunately, the Zeebo was not a commercial success due to a limited game library, with all of them being digital-only. Of course the Zeebo failed to overtake the Sega Master System and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive in Brazil.

Wollongong is definitely overlooked as far as Australian tourism is concerned. It's just 80 kilometers south of Sydney, and yet more people prefer the well known parts of Australia.

I'm very sure the Invention Skill started an arms race in RuneScape. Since its release, many players aimed for 200 million experience points in the Invention Skill.

Given that zombies are a recurring enemy in the Castlevania series, the Belmont family would definitely dislike the zombies from Plants Vs Zombies.

I'm very sure Crazy Dave from Plants Vs Zombies would end up doing well as a shopkeeper in RuneScape.

No Optimism for 2024...


Remember the days when the World Wide Web was the place where you can become an overnight sensation? Well, it still is that place. However, the European Union's Digital Services Act seeks to limit our freedoms, regardless of whether we live inside or outside the European Union. It gets even worse when California, the home of Silicon Valley, was forced to plagiarize EU internet regulations. Even worse still is that Germany is the lead country in the EU, and the only countries that know of Germany's plans to impose its will on the world are Russia and China. And to think rogue nations and militant organizations that threaten the Free World are the bad guys...

If you want to understand why Big Tech is turning on the customers that made them who they are today, keep in mind that the European Union and American leftists are working together to make life miserable for millions of netizens. This in turn will lead to the biggest betrayal, and then a time of tribulation that results in a massive nuclear war...

No wonder some people are sad or disgruntled. A system that is holding Earth captive is at its death throes, and it will take a destructive combination of nuclear war and divine judgement to overthrow it...

Thrown Weapons


Throwing weapons featured in this comic: Throwing axe (Castlevania), lance-shaped javelin (Ghosts'n Goblins), dagger (Castlevania, Ghosts'n Goblins), stick grenade (Metal Slug), large shuriken (Ninja Gaiden), pitfall seed (Animal Crossing).

Axes are a common sub-weapon in Castlevania, and this is showcased in Super Smash Bros Ultimate by Simon and Richter as their neutral special move.

A lance-shaped javelin would be a silly weapon, especially in Ghosts'n Goblins. Yet Sir Arthur hurls them at the bad guys without giving a thought about how silly the weapon looks. At least it's not as silly as the breakable armor Sir Arthur wears.

Daggers as a throwing weapon are very common, and are featured as weapons in Castlevania and Ghosts'n Goblins, though daggers are more popular in the latter.

Stick grenades are a powerful alternative weapon in Metal Slug available to the player from the start.

Ryu Hayabusa is known for throwing shurikens in the NES Ninja Gaiden, including large shurikens.

The pitfall seed from Animal Crossing can be thrown at opponents to ground them in the Super Smash Bros series.

In general, throwing weapons have been a staple feature throughout video game history.

In memory of Kazuhisa Hashimoto


Author's Note: It is with deep sadness that Konami Code creator Kazuhisa Hashimoto's obituary was announced yesterday. This comic featuring sad Konami characters was created in memory of the former Konami programmer who created the most iconic cheat code while porting arcade game Gradius to the NES. The Konami Code then had its meteoric rise in the NES version of Contra, where entering the code grants players 30 additional lives. It even made appearances outside Konami's games. Kazuhisa Hashimoto's Konami Code already had a great reputation that when Hashimoto's obituary was first announced, Konami released a statement on their Twitter page.

Farewell, Kazuhisa Hashimoto. May your legacy live on in video game history books and in your creation.
