READ NERD CORE: THE CORE WARS

by Scarybug

AVAST! The comic is late, but that's because I decided to go in a different direction that I had originally planned. I was in a bad mood last week, and I'm afraid I took it out on Pirate Judas. But now we have learned that Judas wasn't a robot at all! He was a cleverly disguised PIRATE!

And yes, Pirate Judas is still not as good at talking like a pirate as the rest of the Pirate Disciples. He should be saying "flogging" instead of "beat-down" and "grog-addled-fish-licker" instead of "jerk". I guess I just think that robots calling people jerks is funny.

Set sail for hyperlinks! The Scury Messiahs are a band that came up with the idea of a Pirate Jesus indepentandly of myself. Pirate Jesus can turn water into lime-juice, and he can heal scurvy by laying on hands, but what they hey. Maybe he gets scurvy from kryptonite?

Pirate Jesus had his first cameo in a comic called Cowboy Jim!

Check out Dave and Vyacheslav if you haven't yet. Also read this special essay on Canadian currency by the same author. (It's pure, uncut comedy)

You can friend Pirate Jesus over at LiveJournal. I'll get a real RSS feed for site news eventually, but for now you can hear announcements there.

I have actually had a bit of "time" to update Biots. I fixed some bugs concerning movement speeds in different climates, and I altered the diets a bit so that different species can exist without competing as much for the same foods. I did this by reducing what omnivores can eat (no more grass and only ripe fruit, no green or rotting) and letting carnivores eat pine cones. (hey, they're special high-protein pine cones, okay?) Also, biots that starve to death now leave bones behind. Carnivores can scavenge the delicious bone-marrow. Browsers still eat grass and leaves. Herbivores still eat fruit. I breifly considered taking the pine cones away from them, but that seemed needlessly cruel. Oh, the climate change code was altered a bit too, to make it occur slightly less often.

Voting on Buzz Comix and Top Web Comics gets you some dumb bonus comics. One is about unicorns and the other is about rainbows. Really.
