Once it was explained to me, the ending was funnier. Overall I liked it.

ooooohh.. haha. So they are all practicing 360 head-shotting?

I guess that makes sense...

Yeah I had absolutely no idea what that term or the ending meant. A little too obscure there.

Otherwise good work.

I love it as always Cosmical. I love the idea of you doing more than just Planetside related stuff, too. woody at /gu does a great job of covering a few games and staying relevant, so don't feel boxed into only Planetside 2**! I'm sure some other FPS games or general FPS comics would be great to grow your brand out.

** but obviously keep the majority about Planetside 2.

I uhh... got it instantly. Then again I've spent more time than I probably should playing FPS.

matt, have you checked cosmicals other comics, he has linked in his signature?
whole storys there, not ps2 related, and they rule!
a lot of great ideas in there.

And gramatical errors, dont forget gramatical errors!!

Problem with comics is, most feedback you get is, "that was bad", or "that was good". And you dont get much of the inbetween feedback, i.e. the people who didnt get the last joke, if they laughed or enjoyed things elsewhere then its not a failure, but i am unaware if they did. I really appreciate it when people tell me certain jokes they enjoyed, because obviously im just trying things out or pleasing myself.

For instance, the funniest line to me is "Why did he have to be such a charismatic maverick renegade!?". Just because its laughing in the face of decent dialogue and overselling something so poorly.

But yeh....Higby liked it.... so basically, im happy. And naked.

Another thing that i was KINDOF playing with, but once again i didnt make it read very well. Is like in film, they have a bizarre dream sequence and then snap back to reality. You were supposed to think it was all made up. And seeing them spinning confirmed they had all seen the same weirdo god.

But you know, if you have to explain a joke. Then whats the point hey? haha.

If im honest i liked the thought that people wouldnt get it and would have to go back to understand what they missed, like when i used to watch Monty Python when i was a kid. THATS RIGHT IM COMPARING MYSELF TO THE COMEDY GREATS.... WHAT OF IT!!?

Must be a COD thing. I didn't play it, but played a lot of battlefield and that terminology never came up. I see that sort of thing and think "aimbot", not 360-whatever.

Lonehunter · 2012-04-09, 08:56 PM

I definitely got the part about 360 no scoping lol

I had to go look it up. It's a COD thing. People get bored with an objectiveless game and practice trick shots.

Basically people learn all the tricks to get accuracy and play the maps enough to know exactly where people are and practice trick shots that can result in incredible feats. They rely on places people commonly stand and aim to hit there, doing silly things like jumping, spinning 360 and getting a headshot unscoped. They learn where and when to fire such that the timing of the shot hits where people are likely to be. Other types of shots include exactly where to aim and throw a knife such that you'll likely hit someone in their spawn, or timing it after a kill such that you do hit them right after they spawn.

Takes a lot of practice and is part of COD-culture, which is why some of us who have never played COD didn't get it.
