whatever the reason, I am now officially freaked out, and very scared, of that Touched. $5 says that the nstart of the next comic either has Ryan going "WHAT THE HECK?!" to his prisoner, or Alex going "ohhhhh FUUUUUU-"

I'm pretty sure JD doesn't mean to keel over soon just for being 30ish.

I dunno, the old man seems on his last legs these days.

Is anyone else wondering about the commentary for the comic? Is it going to finish soon?

I think the commentary had more to do with us making fun of him for going on so long on a single project and giving him friendly ribbing over finishing it someday. The comic has awhile to go yet, so no worries about ending too quickly. If there's one thing Jaydee can do, it's draw something out.
No fanfare, no special effects... Just Jon

Could time-stop girl here be the bodily prison of the Shard of Tears?

Doubtful. Bob said that the Shard was stolen by a child. She doesn't look so young.
It's a flimsy pretext, but I'm sure that the N-Team have gotten away with worse.

Random thought here.

Maybe the "Powers of the Game Master" aren't things that just the game master is supposed to have access to. Think of it like this, the gamemaster can pause things, see things through a wall just because its on the same screen, and all that because he knows that's how games work.

Perhaps anybody that knows that they're in a game and that's how games work could use that. For instance, Cecil doesn't understand his world is a game, to him his world is his world. Edward, knowing his game is just a game could potentially exploit game master abilities (if he knew exactly what those were.)

Just throwing it out there maybe the Sovereign is a ROM hacker of sorts. She can supposedly speak through others (Altering there dialogue), changes certain elements of the worlds, and can alter data to see how she thinks it should be

Well we all know that Alex is a hacker at least.

There's no mention of hacking at all in that comic. The item duplication is an in-game glitch in Final Fantasy IV. Changing character's names was doable in both Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy VI (though I'm not sure if you could outright change names in the latter, but you could name them when they are first introduced).

There's an item you can get at the Colloseum that let's you change characters names if I remember correctly.

While we're on the topic of the Sovereign's powers, I just came across something interesting:

The Divine Comedy, Inferno
Canto X
I him entreated, "solve for me that knot,
Which has entangled my conceptions here.
It seems that you can see, if I hear rightly,
Beforehand whatsoe'er time brings with it,
And in the present have another mode."
"We see, like those who have imperfect sight,
The things," he said, "that distant are from us;
So much still shines on us the Sovereign Ruler.
When they draw near, or are, is wholly vain
Our intellect, and if none brings it to us,
Not anything know we of your human state.
Hence thou canst understand, that wholly dead
Will be our knowledge from the moment when
The portal of the future shall be closed."


In other words, the damned cannot perceive the past. They can only see the future.

Now, who does that sound like to you...

Changing character's names was doable in both Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy VI (though I'm not sure if you could outright change names in the latter, but you could name them when they are first introduced).

For the record, I only meant to accuse the former instance of being a hack. I often renamed my characters in my teenage years. As example, Tellah was often renamed to Gold 2 and Edgar to Red 5 (Yes, I gave my whole parties Squadron-Number names. Why do you ask? Incidentally, my FF4 number order was somewhat anachronistic. FF6 you may be able to spot the pattern.)

RED 3:  Commeth, RED 12!  We must attacketh the foe ere they maketh a defence!
RED 12:  Uawoooo!


Then again, to the gameworld, what would be the difference between a bug and a successful hack?

Also: Would Alex hack a game or employ a cheat device if he found a game unbeatable? Or if it gave access to deleted material? And, if the latter, how would that affect the respective gameworld?

Finally, when the FF6 guys come along, will Relm bring her Sketch glitch?

Two words: Psycho Cyan.
That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die. <- This form appears through the Old man glitch if y is the character in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's chosen name.

I guess that depends on which version of FF6 he owned, 1.0 or 1.1.
"Speaking of being terrible at games, Red fumbling with the blocks in Magnet Man's level has to be seen to be believed. If the definition of insanity has to do with expecting different results upon trying the same thing, then he must be one of the most insane people I've ever known." - Brickroad

The Guardian Legend - By Red Silvers (VLP): Our Red Silvers continues to find the weirdest worksafe pictures of the game's protagonist, a plane that transforms into a waifu.

Super Metroid - By Red Silvers (VLP): I think it's safe to say at this point, that Samus ain't leaving her suit once Red Silvers finally gets around the finishing this game.

Fantastic Dizzy - By Red Silvers (VLP): Fresh off his recent run of Super Metroid, Red Silvers tackles yet another, err... classic? (Egg-scuse me for being confused about Red Silvers' next choice.)

Sounds like the powers of Tragedy's Mask. The Shard of Tears does the exact opposite though, being able to see into someone's past but not their future. And once the Sovereign has access to both, she'll be able to see both forward and backwards.
