Dumb bird!

*chuckles* Not the best way to wake up in the morning. ^.^

Oh, come now. That would never happen. Hasn't Pokémon taught you anything? Animals don't hurt humans. They're friendly, and would never do anything bad like that without being provoked. *goes off to pet a cougar, because it's obviously totally safe*

Obviously! *goes to give a dental exam to a t-Rex*

That would take a while.

Just the other night, I was out for a walk in the wilderness. Heard this cougar just over the hill. So, I check my hands to see about giving it a few pets. Kitty was just as eager and gave me a big ole body hug. Well, until the jaws sank into my throat and slaughtered me. But, everything was OK. I woke up outside the hospital, a few seconds later.
Well...it was a virtual life
where that happened inside of
Grand Theft Auto V. Still...

Gotta love those video game hospitals.

They can cure just about anything...from Egg Plant curses to flat out death. If you're lucky, they won't even charge for the arm and leg.

D: depends is it "Hardcore mode" active.

Well, if you're talking about Bozo's Night Out, then I can understand how hard core the hospital truly is. After all, when the poor drunk is found in the bed after drinking too much at the bar, you know that he's going to recover.

It's when he drank so much that the liver poisoning kicks in and the camera switches over to an empty hospital bed that you know 'hard core' has just become real. Because, it's too hard core to see the drunk guy's casket being lowered into the ground.

x'3 nah Talking about how there is perma-death mode active... it's kinda a thing.

Oh...I wouldn't know too much about that. Though, I do know about Ultima death. As in old school RPG'ing where death is 99.98% permanent. No hospitals can save a fallen character. And, the only chance of reviving anyone in your party is to level up a healer to an insane level and cast a spell so powerful, it'll cause severe brain damage and has a great chance of failing while turning the dead corpse into pure ash for even trying. (That is before Nintendo got ahold of the franchise and merged Dragon Warrior/Final Fantasy rules in to give the king the powers of a god...)

You are so obviously right! *runs off to pet a bear*

I wish my cats did that, it'd make a great alarm xD

It hungers for mouse!

So I assume that Terith is going to have those scars for the rest of the comic, right?

you got it easy...the Fletchling that wakes me up keeps trying to poke my brain with its beak!

Somehow I knew this is what it would be...And it is still as amusing as I wanted. XD

Didn't you know, the bird is the word.

I pictured something like this starting the game hahaha

The gypsy was right, this is how it ends.

I'm a Zeta watcher. I understand how birds in video games are 99.98% evil. So, I very well know how this scene is perfectly understandable.

Seriously, in most video games over the years, birds are proven over and over to be absolute terrors to the hero types. Why, way back in Atari 2600 days, it was a bird in Adventure that quite literally gave you no ends to the trouble. And, this was a game that had dragons! A dragon, you could dodge and spear to death. But, the bird would swoop down and snatch stuff away, obsessively. NES holds dozens of examples of birds that can swipe health away or just downright knock you into deadly zones. Nintendo/Sega/Sony/MicroSoft all have their share of harmful birds. Why, on a remake of Karateka for the PS3, you're hero type can take out dozens of Human fighters in just a few blows. But, there is this emperor's pet, a hunting bird, that just comes at you with horrid claws and can take dozens of hits...only to continue swooping down to scratch your face up and claw your eyes out. A few pound, fragile bird takes more blows and 99% of the Humans in that game! And, how could I ever leave out Percy...the potty pigeon. When she 'potties' on a car, it's an instant total with no redeamable value to it. (What did that bird eat???)

The only birds needed to justify this post: The eagles from Ninja Gaiden (NES)
Hid my above post due to a typo.

Quite understandable. In that game, it seems like every enemy's blow sends that ninja sailing backwards. Problem is, there are far too many death pits about.

I'll never defeat a Ninja Gaiden game in my life.

I haven't beaten any either, but I still love the games. I own the Trilogy on the SNES.

I thought in Adventure that was a Bat that did that.

I'll double reference with some web site out there. Pretty sure the instructions said it was a crow.

Wooooo...

Picture capture has the evidence to prove that I am in error. It is indeed a black bat...not black crow. Doesn't mean that I didn't pick up the information about it being a crow from some third party source, though.

Omg help, I died at the portal 2 reference XD
