Looks like Alex wants King Hippo's story continue so he can focus on something other than King Hippo blowing himself up. |

Very nice. That's some good writing for weaving the sprite upgrade into the story like that. |

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.

You know, for a minute I was thinking of a little green guy with a shiv as their kid. But that's silly. Everyone knows that kid will be Bob. |
Hey, the comic seems to be updating kind of regularly. Maybe we should vote to spread the word.

At least King Hippo is only your ex-husband. |

It's interesting that Alex believes it is entirely possible for King Hippo to simply be manufacturing his flashbacks. It kind of begs the question why we shouldn't assume Alex is doing the same thing. |

It's probably possible to make fake flashbacks (presuming Kwirk and the other sprites can see this, anyway), so it's possible Alex's flashbacks might not be completely accurate. As for whether they are... I dunno. For one thing, he's been pretty open and honest about the many, many, many times he's been made Videoland's metaphorical bitch. For another, when he and Ryan talk about what's happened, Alex legitimately seems like he's also trying to get to the bottom of certain things. The speculation doesn't seem fake to me. Of course, there could always be other things he slips in that aren't completely on the level. All that said, it's noteworthy that the Alex with King Hippo hasn't actually had much experience with flashbacks in Videoland. So, it could be something he presumes is possible (especially if his fake video game experience was visible), but he might not know for certain. |
