Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

Oh wow. "We're just going to kill you, and then you'll be fine!" Reminds of things that happened in WoW, our Priest (healer) couldn't cure this really annoying, long lasting debuff in the dungeon Stratholme, so that was his advice to us. "Go die, then I'll resurrect you. Cures everything!"
I went and got the PDF versions of the 8 books and the little book of extras, and the book of extras has a decoder device in it. Are there any codes in the comic? I haven't noticed any myself, but I have read through the whole thing only once at high sped, and more eyes might catch that.

Re: The Girl Genius Thread
I positively fail to see what's wrong with GG's graphics. I very much enjoy that visual style and I can't be arsed to look up who said it but the change to colour was a DEFINITE improvement.
So far I very much enjoy the series (caught up to current comics earlier today) and I love the setting (though more background information on how it came to be would have been nice if not really essential).
About the only thing I don't like so far is that from now on I'll have to wait for them to actually put up new episodes

'Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt.'

Re: The Girl Genius Thread
One the the PDF books I bought had a lot of backstory about the setting. Pretty much mad scientists, given enough resources, can cause waves. Big waves. England is now completely underwater (bubble cities!) and Europa has been reshaped by various sparks who didn't like that mountain/valley/plain/lake and altered the landscape to suit their tastes. Or just set off a really big explosion.

Ah! that explains Gil's phrase in this well known episode. Where he rants that he'll "melt what is left of your miserable island to slag".Darmalus wrote:England is now completely underwater (bubble cities!)

Re: The Girl Genius Thread
England isn't entirely underwater, but a good chunk of the island has been sunk. You can see it on the map.
It need not be said that the Wulfenbach's are awesome.

Re: The Girl Genius Thread
Hmm, looks like Europa hasn't been changed as much as the original setting notes seemed to imply. That, or most of the changes are local and don't show up at that scale. Still, a lot of historical figures do appear, even if thier exact actions no longer match our world. I can't remember if if was mentioned, but the Muses of the Storm King were build by this world's version of Rembrandt ("van Rijn").
