    That made me laugh, very well done :)

  2. I… I don’t even know what game this is referencing. For once, I am actually at a loss.

    I guess this means you win by default, Tim.

  3. John P (Katsumoto) says:

    I didn’t think it was referencing any game in particular – many games have health bars!

    I remember when this was first published, and lo; I chuckled. Love it :)

  4. The Shed says:

    Haha, very good. I was about to compare it to 65,000,001 BC’s HUD joke, but realised that this came far beforehand.

  5. Verdugo says:

    It was a good laugh, well done Tim.

  7. Mike says:

    This was one of the best. Excellent stuff.

  8. Ryan says:

    Nice Tim, good stuff.

  9. Pod says:

    I think Timmy (can I call him that?) should give some Commentary on these pieces — his motivation at the time and all that..

    ..or just tell us what he’s riffing off.

  10. Acosta says:

    Fantastic one.

  11. @Pod

    Indeed. And, I suspect, he’s laughing at the thought of it.
