It looks like its been set up for number 200.
What's your view on the end of this legendary comic?

About time.

The standard of the comic has slipped dramatically since it started. I still read it though.

Frohman will die!!!![/spoiler]

cource, then he's going to start a comic about ep2 when it comes out
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-13 08:16:02 UTC Post #199519
nope. He's already said he's not going in to the episodes.

My theory is, Frohman will quickload to the bit right back at the start of the comic where he says "hmm, looks dangerous. Better quicksave" then curses because he's lost all his progress.

Who cares, it kinda started sucking when he brought Freeman into the story. It was fun set pre-HL2 event's because he (the author) made Frohman responsible for half of Gordans troubles in HL2.

Yeah, I was thinking he would go onto stuff about the Episodes but I guess not.
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-13 09:21:10 UTC Post #199533
The Dork Energy chapter already went into the episodes.. ;)
I'm pretty sure, that he'll end it in a smart and witty way, though.

That actually makes sense. Maybe it will end up like that.

I'll miss this comic. 'Twas a good, long run but all good things must come to an end.

CAD blows!

Read VGCats for a proper video games comic!

Both blow tbh, yet I read them occasionally.

Penny Arcade sucks even more than CAD.

I do believe you might be refering to the Perry Bible Fellowship, Alex?

The 200th issue just came out. I don't think its the last one, if it is its a terrible finish to the comic :(

It's not the last, check the notes.

I've been following Frohman from episode #79

I read the whole lot and I must say it was funnier in the beginning (except the first 5 or so) but their are some classic moments later on as well.

Great stuff. Its a shame the character will be killed of but he will live on through all of the 'Models/Humans/Male07.mdls' until the end of the HL2 quadrilogy. :)

god damnit! Chris is doing all this on purpose!

First of all he gets everyone worked up about #200 on the forums, then he delays the next one..

Argh!

It aint over till the fat lady sings! I know he said he wouldn't continue the comic to EP1 but I have a small feeling that when all three episodes are out he'll think of something.

Buddha mode on.

Daubster: It does the exact same thing 'god' does.

Posted 17 years ago2006-10-31 09:44:31 UTC Post #201484
No, buddha is an alternative god mode. If you use "buddha" instead of "god" in the console you receive damage, but never go below 1 hp. Hence the effect in the comic.
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-31 10:08:13 UTC Post #201488
BUDDHA!
If you use "buddha"
Atta boy!

I liked the ending.

and he's technically not dead. you don't die of having 1hp in HL2.

but is it really over?
Posted 17 years ago2006-11-01 09:49:37 UTC Post #201572
There's a lot of controversy over that at the HLcomic forums, actually.
Posted 17 years ago2006-11-01 09:54:25 UTC Post #201574
Its a small world, I also read concerned but nows it's over. :nervous:
Posted 17 years ago2006-11-01 10:46:58 UTC Post #201579
Shouldn't he go into Episode 1 and Episode 2?
Posted 17 years ago2006-11-01 13:43:31 UTC Post #201592
He would but if you made a comic for as long as he has you'd kill him off as soon as possible ;)

What are you talking about, Habboi? Concerned was relatively short compared to most of the other popoular web comics out there.
