↓ TranscriptPanel 1: Lisa is at her computer.
Lisa (typing): Hi Jenny! What are you up to?
Panel 2: We see an iChat exchange between Jenny and Lisa.
Jenny (through chat): Oh just checking the exchange.
Lisa: Exchange?
Jenny: Auction house! I mean Auction house. Gotta go!
Panel 3: Mike is in the foreground and Lisa approaches in the background.
Lisa (hands on hips, puzzled): That's weird. Jenny just called the auction house the "exchange." What's that about?
Mike (very serious): This can only mean one thing.
Panel 4: Mike grabs Lisa by the shoulders. The room is darkly lit, reminiscent of noir films. Light from a window is cast on the wall.
Mike (to Lisa): Lisa, I think Jenny defected to Star Trek Online.
Lisa (hand on forehead in distress): No!!!
No!! That evil Star-Trek Online. Can’t believe it we’d lose a valuable noob to that.. wait let her go we don’t need the noobs
Oh no! A traitor! I’m NOT trying out STO, despite some guildies raving about it, because I definitely don’t have time for another MMORPG!
Star Trek Online is the promised land. I’ve been playing for 5 weeks and haven’t once felt I was grinding just to get a level. Great comic, Mary!
probably because it wouldn’t new games always seem like that. You play to a certain extent before you realize it. Your probably questing also.
Ahh, such an intense internal struggle!
I like the experiment
No! It must be that she’s (re)playing KotOR in anticipation for TOR!
I love your cartoons, I discovered it yesterday and read everything. Keep it up, you are awesome \o/
(and I don’t even play WoW)
Dun, dun–DUN!! NOOOOOOoooo….. Jenny had better return from the dark side! You should lure her back with some vulnerable gnomes to squish. Nothing works better for a Tauren like her! Of course, a cheeseburger on a string would be pretty good for me… As long as it’s got no red onions and extra pickles. Wait, what were we talking about again?
Good comic as usual, Mary! :3 Also, I’m glad you are experimenting with the humans. They were fine before, but never too late to upgrade your style, aye?
This comic has made me think I should take a picture of me mid-sentence and add it to twitter,facebook, etc.
Guh?! Star Trek Online?!?! But then I couldn’t stalk her!…I mean…. Not that I ever did….
But yeah I can’t take another MMO, already hooked on WoW and Aion…
Also, I like the change in style for this strip, panel 3 and 4 almost look like a scene from a movie or something! xD
a noob has betrayed us how can this be we must have vengance!!!!
Interesting style. Light/shadow quality is great, but lisa’s face seems a little wonky in frame’s 1 and 3.
Better I suppose than losing someone to guild wars or EQII. ;-p
Forget Star Trek Online, Star Wars The Old Republic is gonna take a good bit of people when it releases.
She’ll come back. They all come back.
we must have vengance
ok i haven’t tried STO but i did use to play EVE Online. it was pretty cool till i realized id have to play for 3 more years before i can actually start having fun. good luck with STO guys if it works for u… but i like the effect people get when my mage walks in and pwns some deserving horde in 1 shot.
meh… RIFT’s the good one
