WORD OF WARNING: (and off topic)
I don’t know why I think anyone would care but todays comic made me think that I should give a warning. Beware the new Wii game ‘Medeival Games’.
First the good. The art is great. Good graphics. Ok. That’s it. Nothing else is good.
Technically the game is horrible. Each and every event has to load each and every screen each and every time it shows. It’s even more repetitive then I am.
The game thinks you’re stupid. As the text scrolls across the screen it is read to you. Each and every time. In a cutesy-wootsey voice. Yes, I know the game is primarily for children. But only the most isolated children from the most most protective of parents would find this saccharine drivel amusing after the first time. And you hear it each and every time.
The games themselves are actually kind of neat. And I have to be honest and admit that I did like the pig wrestling game. But they barely use any of the things that the Wii is good at. And if you’ve played Wii Resort you’ll pull your hair out when you play the sword fight game on this train wreck. The jousting competition is also pretty cool. Too bad you have to wait for it to load each and every time you want to play it.
Oh yeah. The characters. Nothing clever or original. Only stereotypical medieval types. The bumbling old wizard. The handsome but dumb hero. The beautiful but vain princess. The stupid, fat, ugly executioner. The jester is awful.
I always look forward to games and movies like this. And am so terribly disappointed. You can tell that they’re made by people who JUST DON’T GET IT. They study the ‘genre’. They research. But they don’t get it. It’s just a way to make money.
That’s why I love Mythtickle so much. Justin gets it. He’s been there and he’s done that. You’re one of the few, Justin, thanks!

@Johanan, the Silent Knight must be an ancestor of Dudley Do-Right.

For dinner tonight we’re having whole leaf in fig. It’s always so tender and mild, and it’s steeped in heavenly peas.

Stop the violins. Give us whirled peas.

Great puns from toon and all the posters!

Reading puns this good is like walking through a sticker patch barefoot. A “yike!” with every step.
These are very good puns indeed!
I can’t think of a single one and I’m usually rather punny.

Would anyone like some of my famous Eggnog Pancakes?

Don’t just stop the violins. Stop the saxon politics too!
