My assortment of packs arrived to the place I was visiting a few hours ago (I left last week), so a relative opened up the big box. Snagged Pyralspite, thank goodness! I won't be able to touch most of it until possibly the comic is over and they actually do start work on the game.

I have heard music intentionally composed to be scary that was less terrifying than that cacophony.

What this means for Trickster Mode is... who the gently caress even knows anymore.

Well isn't the only way to defeat Lord English is to exploit a hole in the design of the game itself? Trickster mode was the first Easter Egg, had a lollipop, and let you go outside of the game where you were supposed to in the first flash it showed up in.

I'm just trying to cope with what I saw.

Oh god, I don't even look at the fan base outside of this thread right here, but I already can't imagine what the cosplayers are going to look like.

EDIT: Here you go, since someone asked for it, and my Print Screen button works.

The things he skyrockets to relevance astound me.

To think that none of this would've come to pass if digeridude hadn't made a sprite edit of Lil' Johnny Egbert with a 'wowwipop' stuck to his head the week after the story started.

That led to Trickster Mode in the flashes, which led to Calliope's trickster mode drawing, which led to... this.

I never expected trickster mode to make it into the actual storyline, and feel silly for not seeing it coming. This can only go to wonderfully bizarre and awkward places.

Did you install a script (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/94538) for translating Serenity's morse code when she had her conversation with Roxy? It translates morse code into the latin alphabet as an alt-text to the text, but also repeats the latin text (minus spaces) in the same way.

Oh god, look at her face. That is not an expression of joy. That is pure cosmic horror.

The WHY and WHEEEEE? make me think the Juju is forcing her to act this way against her will. It's like Joker gas in candy form.

Goddammit, I don't remember what it was called now, but someone in the thread linked a half-decent metafic that was a GameFAQs for Sburb, and it said that "Trickster Mode" was a virus in the game that infected players and should be avoided at all costs. To see actually happen though... :stare:

Also, my guess is that because Jake was too stupid to say the actual name, it didn't count as him actually giving her the Juju, she got an "empty" version of Caliborn's sucker, and instead of the amulet we saw for a moment when they combined, we got... this.
