Transcript: English

Somewhere in Taiwan
Young woman on phone
Little Gray: Hi, Blizzard? Yeah, I'm the one who finished all the achievements. Yeah, check the armory. "Little Gray." Uh Huh.
Little Gray: Yeah, haha, I have no life, very funny. I've never heard that one before.
Little Gray: Yeah, so what do I get? A cool mount, a title, a legenary weapon, what?
Little Gray (eyes wide as she hears their answer): Nothing? I get...nothing?
Over the shoulder shot of Little Gray deleting her character.

    WOW. I kind of feel bad for that person. Getting nothing…It’s like beating La Pucelle. Game over. Done.

  2. Armandas

    She must have made her cats play for her..

  3. Man of ze people!

    Achievement Unlocked! ”No-Life”
    Reward: virginity for life!

      You can get that achievement a lot easier than beating wow.

      • Green

        Yeah all you have to do is complete the attunement quest to get the title “Sister”.

    Wow – I just returned from a three week vacation, so hadn’t heard about this player! Totally crazy!

    I enjoyed getting caught up on the comics posted while I was gone. :) I’m very glad my cats haven’t attacked our curtains – although one of our Sphynx cats (whose nickname is ‘Trouble’) certainly tries to destroy anything and everything else!

  5. Brigwyn

    ROFL! Great comic!

    Personally, if I actually completed the entire game I think the last thing I’d want was some new title saying “Little Gray – Player with no life” that would just bite. :P

  6. Sharmander

    Rock on, I like that you portray the winner of WoW as female

  7. Random Person

    Well, you know what they say, it’s not the destination, it’s the journey that matters! the journey of grinding for months…

    And why would you delete that character?!?! Sell that s*** on ebay! I’m betting you could rake in $5k with that!

    Also, I’m liking how you drew her, I think you should add her or someone similar into the comic, of course that might just be because I like blue hair… I’M NOT AN ANIME JUNKIE SHUT UP!!!

  8. Minimagicman

    “How do you kill that which has no life?”

    Great comics : )

    saw you … ok heard you on Wowinsider’s podcast. They seem to talk over everyone lol : D
    Keep the rock’in comics coming.

    Thanks everyone. :) My motivation for making the player a girl came from two things: 1) Wanting to draw a pretty Asian woman. 2) All the headlines about a “Taiwanese Man.” While years of social conditioning and stereotyping leads me to believe that it’s highly probable Little Gray is played by a man, I couldn’t resist posing the idea that, um, he just MIGHT be a she.

  10. Flintte

    You know, she’s a lot skinnier than you’d think she would be, after getting every achievement in the game….
    Sorry, that wasn’t nice of me.

  11. Cralthunk

    So just wanted to say that I just found the comic strip today (thanks to WoW Insider) and have officially read every one of your strips. I love the style, and I love the content. keep up the good work, and I hope that your comic continues for a long time to come. :-)

    • maryvarn

      Aw, thanks very much! Welcome to the site. I’m definitely continuing!

    Actually I heard he/she got honored at the gamescon thing (forget the real name) that was in that area, and was given a trophy of sorts.

  13. Samia

    Heh…poor thing…everyone doesn’t relise how awesome this person really is.

  14. Kaelqu

    Hehe I must admit I do like to do my achievements but some of them I would never bother with lol. You’d have to be in a really good guild to get all the raiding ones lol xD
