Title Text: but it’s shiny?

Sucks when you get awesome loot only to find out you’re over encumbered.

[Saturn381]

And already Joey's group have proven to be more awesome than Peanut's.

[CyberDragon]

And to think I was worried about them. Of course they would figure the game out quickly.

[Gbr23]

Well well well, very good Joey's team. Very impressive

[GameCobra]

Joey ain't buying it. :3

Now the question is - are they at the final boss already? Ack.

[Bandit1990]

Wait, we're supposed to be tracking the encumbrance from currency? grumble.....how many gp's to a pound?......

Seriously though, that's a fight I would have liked to see. I wonder if they realized it's real, or think it's just really sophisticated smoke and mirrors?

[Welsh Halfwit]

Anyone else noted it's B5 (Babylon 5) Vs Star Trek: TNG today?

Dallas discovers the limitations of Trek
- Sheridan at least had some pockets -
but he’s going with the Neutrino flow
and looking out for the charging sockets.
Lester can’t complain as he forgot too
and Joey has forgotten even more;
never mind the missing pocket, one and two,
Joey seems to have no feet on the floor!
They felled giants but only Joey seems to care,
worrying about how these things came to be;
unimpressed by the gold flowing around
and wondering what else there is here to see.

[John-056]

Aw C'mon! The only Karma I'm seeing here is that Joey's gang likely won't get their loot, since they can't carry it!

Seriously, knowing RPGs, if you don't pick up an item after a certain amount of time, it'll disappear.

Still, something tells me that they'll get what's coming to them later in the Temple. I mean, not only were they acting like jerks, they also defaced what's basically private property, as well as Divine property.

Joey ain't buying it. :3

Now the question is - are they at the final boss already? Ack.

No they're not. However, something tells me that the enemies would get much stronger when we get deeper in.

And considering that Joey's been noted to be rather sensible in most arcs (Especially considering his very first appearance), he's likely getting the feeling that this isn't so much a LARP as it's actual combat. I mean, all they think is that the Temple's given them powers and the chance to loot, but not that their lives are in actual danger.

Though I'm wondering why it's called 'Filthy Lucre'? I mean, it's saying that their loot was obtained by Sordid, Dishonourable or distasteful means, even though they've basically earned it by giving the Guardians a beating? Also, anyone else getting the feeling that Pete wasn't actually at the lowest levels of the temple when he talked to Keene? That he was merely in a random 'Treasure room' for convenience's sake?

[Douglas Collier]

For a second I thought those were the corpses of Pete's and Dragon's Celestial forms.

[IceKitsune]

Well Joey's group is doing pretty well for themselves.

[Soerix]

The back of Res' head looks weird. Looks like there are two lines of hair that didn't shed.
And Pete's distant cousins didn't stand a chance!

JOEY IZ TEH BLACK MAGE! HE CASTS TEH SPELLZ THAT MAKE THE PEOPLE FALL DOWN!! xD

[John-056]

JOEY IZ TEH BLACK MAGE! HE CASTS TEH SPELLZ THAT MAKE THE PEOPLE FALL DOWN!! xD

Last I checked, some White Mages in certain games can actually use DETH MAGIC (Laughs Maniacally). So yeah. He may still be a 'White Mage' with DETH MAGIC in his Arsenal.

Of course, that's not to say that he hit his target on the first go...

Star Fleet uniforms do have pockets.

That's Voyager. For some reason a lot of TNG class Trekkers laugh at Voyager.

Take your shirt off, zap off the sleeves, and turn them into money bags.

Regardless, Voyager is still Trek

because the adventures of the "USS Reset Button" were badly written. They can launch both shuttles and the Delta flyer despite not having a second shuttlebay, or the fact that the flyer is three times the size of said bay (Voyager's bay was built for the smallest class of shuttle, while the flyer is the size of a runabout). They spend a season and a half searching for sources of an isotope that should be available in abundant quantities in any gas gian or planet with oceans, expend five times their maximum compliment of ordinance despite having nowhere to resupply, and based on casualties stated in various episodes and the crew compliment of their class, should have negative twelve crew left by the midpoint of season six.

And that's just the easy nitpicks, the full list is a textbook.

Regardless, Voyager is still Trek

It's also irrelevant due to being the wrong version of the uniform.

[TeflonCougar]

and we're getting too off topic as this is Housepets not Trek Pet Peeves. So on that...

We see Grape/Peanut's team
We see Joey and crew
Where is Fox, Sabrina, the Celestial Huskies?
Is Tarot on Peanut's team or is she with Fox/Sabrina?

I say with Fox, doing her best to keep the heavenly Huskies at bay.

[CanzetYote]

Moral of the story: Never underestimate a nerd.

[Argent]

Depending on how genre-savvy they are, they might be trying to socialize with the monsters.

[Cesco]

Well, looks like Joey and his group went far ahead than you, instead. They entered for first and didn't fall in the manhole, after all. Don't talk, Max... Cool, they defeated more monsters. Eheh, you want to steal all that gold...
I guess this is the longest comic strip title ever. And I agree with what it says.

Surprised noone mentioned the Conan cartoon theme. Lester is even standing near what looks like a snake =P

LESTER

LESTER

Or the theme song of Joxer the Mighty from the old "Xena Warrior Princess" series. Just replace Joxer with Lester

Blood—valour—and victory! Ha-HA!

Joxer the Mighty
He's very tidy
Everyone admires him
He's so handsome it's a sin
When things get grim
He'll take it on the chin
If you're in jeopardy
Caused by the enemy
Don't call the cavalry
There's a better remedy
(Although he doesn't work for free!)
He's every man's trusty,
He's every woman's fantasy,
Plus he's goo-oood company
Look out! He's Joxer--
Joxer the Mighty!
Joxer the Mighty!!!

Well they better have some real DETERMINATION to pull that one off seamlessly.



Ok, I know where the door is; I'll be on my way.
