Customizable tone download options on gun-arms? Why not. I mean only like 10 years ago customizable ring tones were unheard of for phones.

Great way to burn off steam and frustration. Ptchoo ptchoo ptchooing into the desert. Can’t say I blame her, if I had an arm cannon I’d ptchoo every chance I got.
Let’s just hope those bright glowy energy shots won’t attract attention to anyone watching from space, like I dunno, murderous psychics or GEF armies. It’s not like they’re hiding out on a desert planet with their ships under sand colored tarps for a reason.
Meanwhile, scientists on the other side of the planet are baffled on how the entire local population of lizards vaporized overnight in one cataclysmic event. :)

Omfg. *upvote* Nice spot!

Testing out the new cannon? Stylish. Impressive range too. But does it make coffee?
sunphoenix
Hmm.. nice. I wonder.. were those energy shots or some ordinance projectile launched?
Either that or there WERE three ships watching from space, and they don’t know they’re about to explode…

Reona- Hmmm *arms hand cannon* PTCHOO, PTCHOO, PTCHOO…
*shots fly off into the sky*
*36 hours and 1.2 million miles later on a nearby planet in the same system as the excelsior crew, little Bindo just received his very first hydroncycle and was just running out of his families envrionmental domicile to ride it to the corner nutrient dispensery to show off to his DNA broodmates when a bright flash of yellow light exploded in front of him, knocking him to his back and raining bits of dirt and metal on him. little bindo slowly got up and brushed the debris off himself and looked to where the explosion occurred…..there was a small crater in the ground right where his hydroncycle was suppose to be. little Bindo began to cry.*
*500 miles away in the thresher swamps of belgast’s flacid, Noroke was just getting home from a long day slaving away over a hot plasma boiler when he looked up to see his genetic bond mate in the window of their environmental domicile spewing anger xenoplasm at their 42 unruly offspring in a vain attempt to regain control. Noroke stopped halfway to his door and watched as his bond mate’s anger finally got the best of her and she began eating their offspring. Noroke’s 4 legs went weak and he slumped to the ground on his rump staring at the scene….he looked up to the sky and raised his claws and cried “why must i suffer so?!!!….why torture me like this?!!”. at that moment he noticed a small yellow orb above him which grew bigger with every second and he felt splortbumps on his dermis as he realized what was happening and quietly said to himself “oh thank Gronng”….a nanosecond later he was disintegrated in a flash of yellow light leaving a smoldering crater where he once sat.*
*500 miles away from Noroke’s sweet release from hell, a bright yellow flash from the sky hits the ground in the middle of a field killing 2 Ratta beasts that are used to satisfy nutritional dietary needs of the indigenous quadruped people. the nearby Ratta herder finds the remains and immediately blames his neighbor which leads to an altercation which leads to a divided community slap fight which escalates to a 7 day war spanning the planet, but suddenly ends with a cease fire when it is discovered that the most popular tv show on the planet is about to air and everyone wants to find out who is carrying Splerandia’s gene sack.*
for every action there is an unequal and volatile reaction.
sorry for this being so long…….i had some free time to kill.

#629 starts off with those three shots making massive explosions as they finally hit the desert sands. #630 has Reona giving Casey an earfull about it.

Mega Man? “Ptchoo” is definitely a Metroid-style arm cannon sound effect, come on now. :P
I wonder how many readers of this post now have “ptchoo, ptchoo, ptchoo” ring tones.
;-)

I think a Bubblegum Crisis Hardsuit battleglove set of weapons would be cool personally…
Retractable “laser”-honed sword blade; ‘Sylia-Style’ Dual-function Laser Cannon/Contact “Knuckle-Bombers”: Nene-style “Scribble” Laser; and maybe an S-Mine contact charge dispenser… :)

I’m thinking energy shots, based on the previous arm- it’s just that the weapon mode doesn’t take as long to recharge shots…

seriously, how do you come up with this stuff? this is awesome! ROFLMAO!

Gotta hand it to Kasey. She’s really outdone herself with arm-ing Reona. I mean, multiple shots is a little under-handed with a concealed arm-ament like that, but it will mani-fest itself quite well in the right situation.
…I tried, but couldn’t resist. And I regret nothing.

this is not really that great compared to tales told by others.
but for a quick chuckle of the ribs it seems to have sufficed.
and how do i come up with this stuff?…..the same as everyone else…
‘the wind blowing through the trees..
‘a plane soaring through the air…
‘the constant chatter of a babbling brook..
‘the laugh of an infant..
‘the dance of a fire..
‘a dog licking your cheek..
‘shooting stars roaring through the cosmos..
‘the honk of an old fashioned ooga horn..
‘a small kitten wobbling on its new legs..
‘a fish darting through shallow water..
‘the braying of a donky..
‘the hum of machinery..
‘warm sunlight on a cold day..
‘a shady tree on a hot day..
‘a galloping horse..
‘fireworks!!!!..
‘eerie silence in the middle of a usually busy street..
‘the sneeze of someone sneaking up on you..
‘hot pizza..
‘cold ice cream..
‘a tree falling in the woods…..landing on the bear….and the bear making a sound.
‘BUBBLEWRAP!!!…..ERMERGERD!!…BERBBLEWERP!!
‘halloween….spooky, spooky, spooky..
‘sitting in a nursing home with a senior citizen and listening as they recount the stories and discoveries they have made through the journey of their path in life….and watching their face light up during the retelling, showing the blazing warmth of their soul in eyes just as fierce as when they were young and stupid like the rest of us.
inspiration is all around us, it is what creates us, nurtures us. sometimes it is just past arms length…just out of our grasp..but it is always there..tempting us to move forward, to press on and seize it by the hand and snuggle up to it as you would a warm blanket during a late frosty night.
you Shadowmerc have a very poetic soul. it is not everyday the internet waxes eloquent. bravo.
Strider
i keep wondering and come to the conclusion he is awsome……..or crazy
i put the two together and decided he is awsomely crazy or crazy awsome

I have to agree.

If you fire volatile stickle technology into space someone’s going to have a bad day

Nice subtle reference about only having 3 shots on the screen at a time.
Speedy Marsh
The “ptchoo, ptchoo, ptchoo” was a pre-order DLC to replace the standard “pew, pew, pew” (Luckily Kasey pre-ordered months ago, for just such a reason)
Oh, and the “Oh, poop” guy was just heading home, when his gyrocopter was hit out of nowhere with 3 bursts from an energy weapon. Luckily, he had a parachute, but his handcrafted gyrocopter was a total loss. Three guesses as to what he said as “Buttercup” went down in flames…
Speedy Marsh
No, but it makes a mean smoothie :)
Speedy Marsh
I’ve often wondered how he types with that straight jacket on.

Years later, in another star system, in the very last strip of the comic, Zap and Reona embrace. Just as their lips are about to touch for the first time… BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!!! Excelsior is rocked by three blasts out of nowhere.
David Eltz
Yeah, lemons!
Extra points to anyone who gets that reference. As well as extra points to anyone else on a binge-read because this is one of the best webcomics out there.
John Smith
No, he didn’t.
Psychotic Muffin
finally she doesn’t have a giant ball as her arm. XD
it always bothered me.

That was… amazing.

I JUST realized your avatar is Reona in MegaMan sprite form. How sad is that?
In other news, I have an entirely new appreciation for your icon. So cool.

…I only just noticed thanks to you. Woulda kept thinking it was just a color-altered Mega Man.
Rexan
Now that you left a comment on their text block, I feel obliged to read it. … And I did. And I coughed with laughter. Thank you.

“Noroke stopped halfway to his door and watched as his bond mate’s anger finally got the best of her and she began eating their offspring.” Coughed a quarter to death with laughter here. Also, the 42 is noted.
