“Panel 1
Patrick: A shrewd move.
Lisa: So I foiled your little blackmailing scheme.
Panel 2:
Patrick: But listen, please don’t tell anyone that I play too.
Lisa: Why not? The people here don’t care! Some of them even play!
Panel 3:
Patrick: Just. Don’t. Tell
Panel 4:
Lisa: Then get me off the “”newb special”" and onto an eight-core Mac Pro with at least 12 GB of memory, a decent graphics card, and two monitors.”
I remember starting a job at an agency many years ago. I got stuck with a machine that must’ve been powered by steam. The IT guy was an absolute little @#$% too. We did not get on at all. Over the next few years, I finally got on his good side, and soon I was rocking kick butt hardware at last. So the moral of the story is get on your sysadmin’s good side, especially if they have purchasing power.
Actually…Two Wrongs don’t make a right….they make a down.
at least thats what happens when I …oh..wait…that’s two rights make a down…and since wrong is the opposite of right..that would mean a wrong would be a left….but…two left’s make a down too…so right and wrong are basically the same thing….OH GOD MY BRAIN HURTS!
I wonder why he doesn’t want her to tell he plays? Maybe he’s a female gnome in-game or something =D Also, I don’t think Patrick’s piercing was there in past comics, although I could be wrong.
The ring is in his right nostril, which kept getting hidden by the angle of his head. And then, there was a time or two when, um, he had it out, because, um, it was irritating him. Or something.
AH HA! She’s a mac fan and she knew about the rarely known eight-core macs! Add two t-1 lines, use the synchronization program, move close to the blizzards server home location in california and she would have a super-computer on a system that would allow her to pwn every laggy noob in the entire game. One bit of lag and she’d already have the upper-hand against you.
I guess non-ear piercings are more acceptable these days. Or I’m just too danged old.
I remember a New Yorker cartoon: Two geezers in chairs, tattooed all over, pierced all over. One is saying to the other, “I see you were an idiot in the ’80s too.”
I have 16 GB in my 2008 Mac Pro. Most run of the mill operations don’t use it all, but I use every bit when I render in After Effects. I think it just depends on the program you’re using.
I envy you. I have a mere 4GB in my 2007 MacBOOK pro. Actually woulda been 2GB if they hadn’t screwed up the order and gave me the best 15 inch available at the time. :-p
Loving this storyline!! (And the comic in general, as always.) Unlike this guy, I will sometimes let on to my WoW-playing to friends when I know that they are also WoW players or otherwise sympathetic, but most of my closest friends have no idea that I play – let alone an 80 disc priest who is heavily into PvP and the occasional raid, despite my “casual” status. This is because either they are outright hostile to WoW-ers or they just wouldn’t get it in general. I don’t need to deal with ridicule, or even mild teasing, and I really don’t feel like justifying my, um, habit. Lol, looking at the way I have phrased all of this might mean I need to seek help. For my secret WoW addiction… =)
p.s. I would kill for more memory at this point. WHY did I settle for 2GB?! I even told the Mac rep that I was a gamer (blowing my cover!!) and he still assured me that the DDR-3 was “self-cooling” — therefore light-years better than DDR-2 and toooootally sufficient for my WoW needs. Lies.
He probably plays hello kitty online adventure
Wow, kitty’s got claws.

HA! Good one!
Hmm although it was not right of him to do that to her, she shouldn’t do that to him. Two wrongs don’t make a right =P
Nice change of power though hehe.
Of course they do. Haven’t you ever had to work in an office?

Power Play!
I declare you to be…
ROFLSTOMPED!!!
Now she can actually do her job well!

Oh. That’s kinda a shrewed move too.
I should not approve of this reversal of tactics … and yet I do.

Ah actually I believe the secret system was the 16-core mac systems. <.< shhhh its very hush hush
Go Lisa!
Ooh now Lisa’s calling the shots. Great comic, as usual =)
never doubt the power of a gnome. : )

Well… the tables have certainly turned!
So while she’s at it, maybe she could hook me up with one of those Mac Pros… mmm *drool*
Haha, he’s her b-tch now!
Turnabout is fair play, eh? Love it!
Nice powerplay there. =D
12gb of memory, that’s too much power for any one person. She should give 6gb of that to me.
Isn’t support for anything over 8GB only theoretical? I could be wrong or just thinking about 32-bit.
I have 16 GB in my 2008 Mac Pro.
Most run of the mill operations don’t use it all, but I use every bit when I render in After Effects. I think it just depends on the program you’re using.
I think it depends on the OS too. I know that a standard WinXP will hardly use more than 2Gb, even if I have 4.

I suspect he’s been blackmailing other people in the company, and open knowledge that he games would free them from his tyranny.
He just seems like the type.
I really like how you do the hair, not an awkward bump and nice details
and gettin your boss like that, awesome (im not going to say epic)

HA! Take that
