Reid has finished NC/SSS Part 9. Are you ready for it??? - Page 3 - VGF

Introbulus · 11-19-2004, 01:50 PM

Heh...it's also a pretty referrential comix...

This one counts five times.

O.o Enough so that I have to put it into two seperate posts!

Introbulus · 11-19-2004, 01:51 PM

I think it's referring to something, but I'm not sure...

Same here. XD And I LOVE that quote!

It's biblical, AND Jurassic.

I just love this referrence. XD I sucked almost as much as Fred at that game.

Lord Reid · 11-19-2004, 04:16 PM

Yeah, I realize I didn't really progress the plot much, but there were some jokes I really wanted to do, and since I almost hit the 200 frame count, there wasn't much more I was going to do. At least they are all on their way to plot?

First: Where is this from?
Second: Which game is it?

@Lord: Yeah, but quarter of the whole comic is the Bill Nye thing [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I didn't say it was not good. It was. But, well, not that good

That Guy · 11-19-2004, 06:27 PM

Well, It's probably funnier then i think it is, but,

My Computer Stoping loading the images about half way through, I had to manually Right click and then hit Show Image. On Each indidvily frame to load. And I hadn't gotten past the Second bill Nye thing.

However, Even though I was pissed, I had many laughs. It wasn't as good as though.

**L007 is Undecided** · 11-19-2004, 06:59 PM

^^ That game I believe was Oregon Trail. Low-res version by the looks of it.

I loved how Fred bought nothing but ammunation, and killed 56,872 lbs of animals. [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img] Great!

Oregon Trail. Never played it.

However I do have Amazon Trail.

Introbulus · 11-20-2004, 12:01 AM

The first one kinda looks like the supervortex that sucked Homer in in that one Halloween episode, and I think it's a referrence to something else as well. 'Cuz that quote sounds familiar...but I can't remember where it's from...

The second one is from an old Sierra game called "The Oregon Trail". It's an old Sim game that a lot of Elementary schools had to teach kids about the hardships of going to Oregon, and it's pretty humorous without intending to be. I had that game, and one just as good called "The Yukon Trail".

Lord Reid · 11-20-2004, 01:50 AM

Its true that many of my parts, this one especially, is rich with pop culture references. So some may find this part funnier then others. However, Giant-Knives-Instead-Of-Arms-Man and Pat being sucked into the black hole were meerly a result of my random mind. I wanted a random super hero, and came up with very random. Then I wanted something randomly painful to happen to Pat, much like the random pain for the cyote, so came up with him just being sucked into a black hole.

Oregon Trail though was a game that at least I played a lot of in school when I was young. I just hunted the whole time and ended up with a lot more then I could carry. Much like Fred.

Good times.

I don't think it's Sierra who made Oregon Trail. I think the game was made by a company called MECC.

Sierra is famous for all those "Point And Click" RPGs like King's Quest, Police Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry. I had (well still have, but don't know if it works on newer machines) King's Quest 6. Very fun game.

Introbulus · 11-20-2004, 04:36 PM

Heh...I still remember King's Quest for the NES...

"Gram wanna drink?"

...Okay, that's an inside joke...Xp Heh...

And yeah, the company was MECC. Xp I forgot the name.

Codiekitty · 11-20-2004, 05:20 PM

I beat Oregon Trail a few times on the school Macs.

I beat Yukon Trail a million times. Strangely, there was this minigame you could play, and the woman would tell you not to mine on Chichaco Hill (or whatever it was), but that was where I always made my fortune.

I never got past the second or third villiage in Amazon Trail.

And are those last two frames the Chestburster cameo I orde.... er, suggested?

Thanks to my new DSL, I didn't have to go through and Right Click and "Show Picture" the second half of the comic.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

I thought the Bill Nye thing was kinda repetitive, but I like the subtlety of the Oregon Trail thing.

Who is Bill Nye?

X-3 · 11-21-2004, 10:20 AM

He has his own show. In the beginng, the theme song is "Bill Nye the Science Guy!" It goes EXACLY as it does in the comic.

Speaking of Bill Nye,that part was the best in the comic!

An old educational TV show. It used to come on PBS, as well as video casette to teachers to show in class. Not only was it educational, it was fun. It probably never aired in Gemany.
