Good stuff :)

Bah, this comic strip should have been about Stronghold, not Medieval 2.
:P

Love Strafe Left.

Mmm, cheese.
17/08/2008 at 13:39 antonymous says:
This one is totally unintelligible because of the very strange culinary habits of the English. Does cheese really taste like rotten cow for them or what? Why are they living in these castles?

Seems a bit Black Adder-esque to me.
17/08/2008 at 13:52 jigglybean says:
haha thats more intelligent than the AI in the game
17/08/2008 at 14:08 Calabi says:
Its true, only the best cheese comes from dead cows and we all live in castles.
17/08/2008 at 14:25 CrashT says:
Way to go Calabi betray the brotherhood :p

Do I fail if I point out that the strip is set in Burgundy, and thus we should be talking about how the French eat dead cows and all live in castles? Well, the Burgundians. They were fairly independant at this point in time.
…sorry.

I think this comic is clearly referencing the early 90s game Defenders of the Castles and it’s ability “fling dead cow” button. You can tell this by God’s sky writing, as seen in the first panel. That was one of the more advanced features of the game.

I’ve had Casu Marzu (Sardinian maggot pecorino chese).
Underwhelming.
17/08/2008 at 15:38 Optimaximal says:
How can anything so lethal be underwhelming? That’s like calling a Koenigsegg underwhelming because it didn’t have a prancing horse on the bonnet.
And this is so obviously a reference to the 7th Level game of Monty Python & the Quest for the Holy Grail…
“RIGHT!”

bombard flaming cows. Aka bbq delivery.
Also try elephants vs war dogs.

I forgot you could throw dead cows in Medieval 2. I had great fun poisoning everyone on the battlefield, friend and foe alike. Even better was setting everyone on fire with the mangonel, at night.

Very good Strafe Left, very good :)

I find it oddly hypnotic.

Heheh. Awesome.
A sweet ass-comedian at a show I Front of House’d for had a good gag where he talked about how the larger the animal, the thicker the milk. Elephants produce cheese from their ginormous teats.
EDIT: Also I agree with polpot.
