Angie really wants the bar thing to work I guess.

She'll envy Jane when she needs to wear the bar uniform…

Angie is the oldest featured character currently in the comic but in a sense, she is also the least developed because I did not create her with some specific atribute in mind like the other girls.

She has a bit of Anne naughtiness, Morgan cunning and Jane trollish behavior, but she is more nuanced. Still, since she has a bit of all of them she is the best one to lead the gang since she understand the others more.

She is probably the more realistic of them, with a very no-nonsense atittude when it comes about work and the future.

I also found this game exist.

I got nostalgic about Advance Wars and decided to google a bit to see if there is any remake in the ways either by Nintendo of a 3rd party willing to capitalize on a half-abandoned IP.

I found 3 games, Macro Tactics, Tiny Metal and Spellbound.

Macro Tactics looks the closest to Advance Wars, it's 2d, it's military but the art did not appeal to me, it's like something made on AutoCad by an engineer instead of an artist. Of all 3, that's the one I am least interest unless the art changes because they are all selling themselves as Advance Wars clones so the gameplay should be similar across all titles with only the art, music and story setting them apart.

Tiny Metal keep the military theme but goes 3d. It looks surprisingly polished and the sales pitch video was funny and I like the CO looks. However I am a sucker for nice 2d graphics and this one is 3d.

Spellbound has the PERFECT graphic for my taste and the gameplay looks EXACTLY like Advance Wars down to the menus….however, it's a medieval game so unless they are keepling the balance with tanks being dragons and catapults being missile launchers, it's a new game. Also, personally, I prefer a military setting to the overused medieval fantasy one.

Still, it's a close call so I'll just buy both assuming they do not disappear on development hell. If I had to pick ONE however I'd go with Spellbound because it's 2d and may have some fresh ideas with the fantasy setting. Keep in mind Spellbound is being made by the guys who made Starbound so who knows when it'll be launched.

This free advertisement was not spondered by anyone.

The guy from Macro Tactics replied to some comments on the previous strip and looks like the final art is a placeholder, assuming the art is as good as the original Advance Wars I'd say they'll be all pretty similar. Macro Tactics for people who want a perfect clone, Tiny Metal for those who prefer 3d for whatever reason and Spellbound (I don't know the official name ok?) for those who prefer a different spin.

And you can always play Xcom2 Long War which will probably last long enough for one of those games to be finished.

Just watch this if you don't get today's joke.

Short rant today… lots of thigns to do, enjoy the strip and your SELLOUT NOODLES!

Some may say Angie is being manipulative, but the way I see it she is defusing conflict whlie making everybody happy.

Oh, and for those who don't know… keikaku means plan.

Trying to finish Shantae Half-Genie Hero, pissed with the backtracking.

Just want to get over it to play a new game at this point honestly.

Art is cool though.

Very soon…

Nothing to see here, move along to the next strip!

Looking behind, that was one loooong trip to 2000th, I never expected for it to last this far. Nerf NOW!! started as a side project to not just waste my time doing nothing when faced with no good job prospect.

Actually, don't look back.. the art is terrible! My god, what I was thinking…

Special thanks to Marcus who convinced me to start the comic, build this site and let me live with him for a long while until I could be by myself. This comic won't be here without him. Thanks bro!

I'm just glad to have you guys here after all those years, so why not join me on discord to chat a bit and celebrate?
