I laughed…

Haha! I remember this one. It doesn’t seem that long ago, to be honest.

Good ol’ Sparky.

Just be glad there wasn’t two arch viles in that box. What a nightmare.
14/09/2008 at 14:42 Max says:
Anyone who can kill an archvile with an axe is pretty much totally hardcore.

wow, for the first time in a very long time I feel like a total non-nerd. Would anyone care to explain the joke to me?

Google has the answers, non-nerd.

it’s from doom i believe…
14/09/2008 at 15:14 mike says:
google sez “Sparky the Fire Dog teaches about fire safety”. Ahh. Thanks, Theory.

Strafe Left is genius. That is all.

The bad british weather is expressionist symbolism for the lagging sales of PC games. “Arch-Vile” is the barely concealed sparking idea to promote a monopolized download&drm system, supposedly beating the rain. The gamers who came to party.. you see what happened to them.
14/09/2008 at 15:35 mike says:
now we’re getting somewhere. so it’s a spore creature alright.
14/09/2008 at 16:17 Max says:
I haven’t a clue what you’re all on about (Spore!?), but the Archvile is a Doom II enemy. A badass one.
14/09/2008 at 17:51 Tei says:
the archivile was a really vile monster, with his ability to burn you withouth the need to actually shot, just have line of sight.
14/09/2008 at 20:10 Duoae says:
Don’t forget resurrecting fallen enemies as well! His sound files and those of the spiders really used to scare me when playing!

antonymous wins this one.

Haha. This was a good one.

Awesome :) (at first I’ve missed that bubble with ‘bonfire’, so it was a bit confusing – but maybe even funnier).
15/09/2008 at 12:17 maxmcg says:
Brilliant – never saw that one before.
15/09/2008 at 14:32 Optimaximal says:
Look how down & depressed Pile looks… Is it because they killed Sparky? Or is it just the multiple life sentences he faces in the years ahead for mass manslaughter charges?
YOU DECIDE!
Also: Hedgefund-on-Sea? Is that near Bagshot-on-the-Wirrel?

Looks like you guys got a bit of blog comment-spam from someone offering “free” “Xbox 360s”. On a PC gaming blog… *facepalm*

Resurrecting bit was the worst. I remember some map, where after wading through hundreds of monsters and killing all of them four archies were released in most distant places. From this point whole thing turned into frantic run in search of the bastards and trying to kill them before they ressurect everything laying on the floor. This has to be one of the most pain-in-the-ass baddies in history of gaming.

Nice one, showing it to my friends now.
