Kill Six Billion Demons


Alt: Immortality

quote:

“Across the desert of Khul Kharim,
There stands an ancient and mighty temple, worn with age,
Its two hundred monks drenched with sweat and bent with the labor of its maintenance.
There, enshrined, the graven image of a god;
Mighty, imperious, carved masterfully, his eyes thrust to the horizon, his lips curled in a smile of mastery;
All burnished with the worn hands of monks and the labor-marks of slaves.
Its grip upon the land about is absolute. It has stood for two thousand years.
So long that, indeed,
Cracks have begun to form.”

The Saga

Touhou Peanuts


Yuuka did not appear in said game.


Yuyuko, however, appeared as the first boss of said game!


So, this and the prior strip both mention charisma, which is a meme with Remilia—she's normally rather dignified and composed, but it's also popular to show this breaking down revealing a more childish side, which seems to have originated with her rather undignified blocking pose in the first official Touhou fighting game. The knockdown text in that game read "Spell Break", so the meme is known as "Charisma Break".



I'm gonna keep posting this a bit longer, but I will be skipping over more strips than I originally planned.

The funny thing about this one, is if you think a little bit about the steven universe ending you're like "drat he saved the empire by convincing them to love," But in reality, he showed he was the first one to have the overwhelming ability to destroy them in a horrifying way, and the empire submitted to the proletariat, freaks, and gays.

e: And by the funny thing about this one, what I really mean is "I'm starting steven universe discourse."

Previously on Manly Guys Doing Manly Things, aw you made Robert Cop sad

Anyone can make a fire, but it take a special kind of person to raise a fire with a solid understanding of rules and boundaries.

03/19/2013 - I bet Kratos could beat a Portal maze

One of my favourite things about Kratos is that as much as he might seem to fit the bill of a meat-head action anti-hero stereotype, he’s really fairly crafty and resourceful when you think about it.

I know it might seem rude of Commander to be offering unsolicited Sudoku help, but really, what’s more of a powder keg than a guy who does a lot of puzzles but also flies into a violent rage every time he gets frustrated?

03/25/2013 - Just imagine how much All You Can Eat Korean BBQ they’d go through in a sitting

Oh no another half-assed Kratos comic, you know what that means! Yep, I had an insane work week and my only respite was the new God of War.

Anyway, I’m of the opinion that Kratos is a bit of an anomaly in the world of Macho Action Dudes, in that he is just a bottomless sieve of emotions. Like, usually action dudes have their moment of unrestrained rage at the end of the story o prove What A Badass Dude they can be, that Super Saiyan “You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry” moment where they let it all out. Kratos, on the other hand is like… perpetually exhaustingly angry. And when he runs out of angry, he’s sad. He’s just this constant torrent of unrestrained heart-on-his-sleeve emotional whiplash. He’s never the cocky, aloof, too-cool-for-school emotionally distant robot you expect to play in a macho action dude game, he just kind of exists in this cycle of getting all angried out and trying to kill himself until someone on the suicide watch crew can find him a new thing to be angry about. He’s the only game hero I can think of who’s like “Oh man, I checked everything off my to-do list and now I’m out of things to be mad at, I am so drained I think I’m going to kill myself now”

I don’t doubt that others like him exist, they’re just pretty rare in a world of Duke Nukems and Commander Shepards and Solid Snakes and Jack Caymans and Grayson Hunts and Macus Fenixes and Dantes and Chris Redfields and all those other action dudes who are capable of speaking with indoor voices.

We discussed this on Tumblr with fun screen shots and everything.

Oh! And if you’re in the Massachusetts area, next weekend I’ll be at ConBust over at Smith college in Northampton!

This is also the central premise of the Culture novels. It is extremely cool to be a galactic civilisation full of pansexual hedonists who change sex at will but also you probably need some hyper-violent sentient weapons capable of destroying whole star systems for the people that think that being pansexual hedonists who change sex at will isn't a good thing.
