I laughed so hard about "pose as a team, because SHIT JUST GOT REAL!"  :D

I actually tried to make it my avatar, but I couldn't get the size thing right.

Check out http://www.mspaintadventures.com/psicons/index.html , he hasn't put up that one, but the gun-wielding lineup is quite neat 

is one of my favourites

I'm liking it a lot, but I liked it better when it was just about getting the fuck out of their offices, and pissing each other off. Like a film noir version of the  3 Stooges, with glitches all around.

[Fifth]

Yeah, I couldn't stop laughing through the subtle absurdities of the first portion.  The current overblown state and mechanics of things are still amusing, but not in the same manner, or to the same degree of success.

Nonetheless, the whole thing is brilliant.

That was the other one I was going to do!
Thanks!

I hope it does end though. It seems like he's not sure how to finish it. I think it'll get kind of old if SPOILERS Mobster Kingpin has another form after this one

[dmoonfire]

I like the overblown and silly mechanics. They make me want to write a game that uses them.

[Valter]

It'll end, Chutup. The author's been alluding to the end for a while now in his blog posts.

I definitely thought the original goofiness was the funniest. However, I'm equally awed and impressed by how he managed to keep track of all of the bizarre items now strewn through the area. I couldn't imagine being able to remember all of the stuff that's going on and being able to link it all together properly.

Practice. But, also if you do something like this enough, you start being able to set things out without even realizing it, then pull them together when you need to. Earlier this year, I tried doing an experiment of a story serial (I usually do cathedral-style writing on novels) and see what happens. I didn't really have a plan when I started (I didn't figure out the plot until chapter 10), but somehow I managed to set up everything I needed to refer back to the first 10 chapters even, and keep a consistent story, when I finished it at chapter 65. I only had to make one backtrack correction (someone's name needed to fit a pattern).

I suspect at the person who did MS Paint Adventures is doing the same. Have it slightly planned ahead and just manage to tie everything together as they go.

(Not that I put myself in his category, though. I haven't even remotely mastered humor.)

[Cerogravian]

...actually, he's done a couple of misses
The biggest one being, which I noticed when he put up the first explanation of all of the clones and duplicates of the characters. When PI uses his regurlar cloning skill in battle with the gigantic monster version of himself, he summons the Candy Mecha and later, at http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4&p=000795 he states "Half your party is slain, leaving 3 remaining, including the one piloting the mecha.", and when the fight is done at http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4&p=000812 , we see that he has totally forgotten about the clone piloting the mecha.
Just a little mistake at first, but it got really interesting when the Candy Mecha got mixed up in the fractal duplication event, and basically created an infinite number of PI's, all in decreasing size  :D

(Not sure how hardcore the Tigersauce crowd is on spoilers, so I took the safe route
It goes without saying that if you don't want to get spoiled you shouldn't click the links)


EDIT: Oh and Dmoonfire - he explains his workings in the FAQ (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?faqs=show ),  and it sounds like a good and believable way, and and more than a fair compromise

[dmoonfire]

Yeah, its a good compromise. Actually, I love writing with feedback from users, they ask for things that you don't even consider and then you can merge it into the story as you go. But, I can also see why he had to take over parts of the story. IF has that problem also, sometimes you have to know the programmer to figure out some of the puzzles (the speakeasy case).

Still impressive job and enjoyable to read. And he's belting out pages at a pretty good clip (I have it on my RSS reader).

[William Broom]

Forgive the bump but did anybody else notice that  looks exactly like Fiesta Ace Dick (without the hat)?

[Valter]

Oh, totally. Does this mean we should add a "Perforated Zombie" smilie, too?

[diwil]

This is too awesome to find words for. :D
