The last time I drew fake screencaps of this game, it was 2017, the comic was just getting started, and I was still using markers. It’s been interesting to redo them knowing what I do now.
Rhodes’ desperate bid to relax might end well, but it probably won’t.
Edit: OH NO I FORGOT RHODES’ WEDDING RING
Edit 2: Ok I fixed it
Oh no, he’s facing the giant robot dog boss again. This was probably the worst idea when it comes to relaxing, unless he internalized a thing or two from Dempsey wiping him out in two seconds. Even so, can’t imagine this being anything other than adrenaline-inducing no matter if he wins or loses.
He’s got to have more relaxing games to play…right?
Funny how we keep telling our characters "no, don't do that, you fool!" and they go ahead regardless. XD
I LOVE how Hopper is just :) through all this in true video game protag fashion
GET READY TO DIE

I’ve always found it hilarious how cartoon video game protags blithely stare off into space the entire time they’re getting death threats.
I don't play video games, but the representations of them I've seen crack me up sometimes.
Like the fact that the player character is always smiling even when being threatened by a foe.
"...and if you don't [some difficult task], you'll spend eternity up to your neck in deep didgeri-doo! BWA, HA-HA-HA!"*

I love it when video game characters don’t react when they’re being heckled. They fear NO MAN
I like the detail that he took no damage on his way to the boss. Just reeks of "I've played this friggen' level so many times I could be an expert at this game five times over...if I could actually beat the boss at the end of it!"
Oh God yeah he’s got it memorized. If only the internet were more than newsgroup pages at this point in the story!
Yup, that doesn't seem very relaxing at all. Rhodes should do what my husband did, and switch to Farming Simulator or something. I love the coloring!
Thank you!
I feel like Rhodes would enjoy Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 because he gets to turn his theme park into a charnel house filled with vomit and garbage
Oh nooo, that would end in disaster! I feel like he’d be interested in Castlevania because he likes horror, but he’d rage quit as soon as the flying Medusa heads came out.
