Awesome episode Joe and i sincerely hope u win the competition.especially since it means that we will get alot of new readers.
@Dagzter – Thank you for your support! :D
fucking awesome, nice work joe \o/
Those Dragoons are some cold mother-F**kers.
i have a feeling that we soon will se another colony, I can’t wait. Also great job with todays episode, I have been hitting refresh since 6am this morning danish time whic is something about midnight i Canada, sine you said it would be uploaded today :D
Great. We got another girl that could be Joe´s sister xD
Have you planned when will you make Joe and his sister finally re-encounter?
We want to know the truth!
What does this rich look like im curious,weve only seen Joe so far (I think)
Awww, I just got shot in the head… Oh, different Dwight.
way too many characters to keep track off.
Ah balls. More characters (And now possibly an entire freaking colony) And this Joe’s sister conspiracy is getting silly. Now there are two girls with unknown older brothers. I bet Annika will vanish from the colony before Joe gets back (Or some other crazy reason for them not meeting) My bet is on series of coincidences meaning they never see each other.
this better not be a situation where there are TWO candidates who could be joes sister…….
Just a note…
You can vote 5 times a day…
So don’t just vote once. Click the portrait and vote again… and again… and again… and again…
Finally, evil (or atleast dickish) humans. I’m gunna ignore the possibility of Karen being Joe’s sister until more prove is given. For all we know she could be the sister of that nightstalker guy. Whatever his name is.
@Mzilla, nightstalker aaron already has a little sister, Nina…I, personally, am already attached to Annika and want her to be Joe’s sister! If she isn’t, that’s gotta be the craziest red herring EVER! Joe, I’m so glad chapter 8 is finally here! Great scene, I know this chapter will rock! I’ll definitely vote every day, and have my friends vote too!
Ps…does anyone know how to give a 1-Up on the startoff voting page? I can’t seem to get it to work by tweeting it :/
I remember earlier that what’s underwater was unknown/dangerous. Will anybody actually go underwater?
Thank you all for voting, everyone! We’re currently 3rd, riding closely behind 2nd! Please keep ’em coming! You can vote for Green Pixel 5 times per day :D http://startoff.ca/vote (There was a glitch earlier that looks like it has been fixed)
@Wayne Mangham – I’ll post pictures of both of us one day! Rich is much taller than me :D
@Willy – Right! Thank you for mentioning that! :D
@NarniaNerd – Thank you for the support and once I’ve figured out every little element of the competition, I’ll let you all know! :D
Oh my god, that was odd,so first you put that other survivor girl in front of us for months and now you’re replacing her with this, very well played joe.
Also today is Jhon Lennon’s Birthday
DOES ANYONE NOTICE THAT GREYBANE TOTALLY QUOTED LORD OF THE RINGS GIMILI?????! I DID!!
I think Karen might be joes sister for plot while Anika is just a plot twist.
It never occurred to me that Anika could be Joe’s sister because I never assumed she could be due to her apparent background. Karen almost immediately gave me the impression of being his sister though, so I’m thinking she probably is. After all, she DID mention having a missing brother, whereas Anika said nothing of the sort and acts like she doesn’t even have a brother other than Jeremy or whatever that kid’s name was. XD It could also be that Karen is wearing a greenish outfit, which could be some sort of symbolism, and she has a bit of a similar face. Only a bit, but a bit is enough. XD
@Joe I read your reply to my comment on the previous episode, and I wanted to say that I am glad it is in progress! I think I voted for you but my keyboard is having issues and other such stuff is happening so I’m not sure if my vote was counted or not. Perhaps I somehow didn’t complete the process or something. Anyway, do you think you could hint at whether or not I am right in my guesses as to Karen’s relationship with Joe? I like to have a sense of whether or not I’m right because it puts me in a deducing mood that I find to be incredibly fun! In fact, I will make another guess right now. Tell me if I am right or not. Greybane and/or one or more of the other characters will end up having some kind of issue with this new colony and their military in the future, and New Hammerston will probably end up forming relations or something and that colony will end up in a better situation due to no longer needing rations. How right am I?
For a split second I thought Greybane clean took that dude’s head off, due to how the sprite looked.
Today i already voted, tomorrow i will vote again. I can’t support Green Pixel directly, but i can push the button daily.
Great episode i love to read your comic and play TPD 1
@JOSHUAOHEATH – Yeah! I’m glad someone got the reference! :D
@illeatyourself – Thanks for voting! Even if today’s didn’t go through, there’s still 4 weeks to go! :D
@Eldaran – Thank you for voting daily! :D
The fire stills sounding after finished the scene
Can you please fill us in on the details of Joe’s sister? At least give us a hint!
Karen and Anika are twins and Joe is their father!:D
I’m trying to see if I can get anyone from my forum to vote for this. Hopefully they’ll at least look into it. As to the scene, I’m really curious about what this new colony makes you do. I’m also curious if they’re the people that Nick ran into way back when he was going to Machine City with Scrufflebeck. Since they seem to be so close, it would certainly seem so.
@BloodWolf7 – Thanks for letting your forums know! :D
Happy second birthday to The Pocalypse!
joe, were can i get one of the posters that you showed in those photos a bunch of days a go because i live in the uk
@BloodWolf7 – :O I totally forgot!! Yes, happy 2nd birthday to The Pocalypse haha I’ll point it out better next update :D
@eeryoregon – They’re not for sale just yet but they will be once I figure out the best way to ship them :D
For some reason Greybane is reminding me of old Obi-Wan Kenobi.
thank you very much my good sir
Getting a feeling those Dragoons are just total bastards. Their leader may be trying to protect folks, but it seems like the rest of them are worse. Of course, their leader could be just as bad, just smarter than some.
If they’re as bad as it is starting to feel already, I’d not be surprised if women are harassed or worse, and men forcibly recruited or put to work just to earn a living, probably not a very good living either.
Suddenly, I’m thinking they should make contact with some really angry protagonists from the other colony coming to liberate those enslaved by these dragoons.
And at this point, I figure I’m assuming way too much already, making wild guesses, and probably missing the mark, by a mile. Still, going to look forward to the next part again, and hoping they’ve not hurt this particular young woman already, other than this unnecessary death (since that’s undeniable already). Just saying hope they’ve not put her through abuse.
That fire crackling…makes an awesome rhythm.
i hear disney is having zompyres for their show kick’n it
my kids watch it.
How do those motorcycles even work? Actually, how does anyone get the fuel for anything?
By the way, I love how the sound at the end carries on. >w<
Uhh, keep voting (5 times every day) guys, Green Pixel is dropping in the ranks…
@Winterfeline: not that difficult to imagine what healthy women of child-bearing age would be forced into. Perhaps Joe is riffing off “The Handmaid’s Tale” a bit…
@MrBester – Thanks for the support! We’re back to 2nd place! There was a security breach and it has been resolved so some of yesterday’s votes didn’t count :D Let’s get to 1st! Keep the votes coming!
I’m pretty sure they both said they had 2 other siblings, Annika being the youngest and Joe being the oldest… I cant remember if the middle one was a guy or a girl though…
joe.. did gwen said ask for me?
3rd place in voting. Looks like this should be easy but keep voting everyone! 5 times a day takes 15 seconds!!
OHEMEFGEE NEW CHARS *Pocalypsegasm* no seriously,yay new chars :D
i love how the dude in last has 8 votes XD
@earlpineda – Yup! Gwenn did say “Ask for me.” :D
@CC – Thank you for the support! There’s no difference between 1st and 10th since they all get the same prizes in the end but my competitive side wants to take the 1st spot haha :D
@Not going to say – Thanks to all of you voting 5 times a day, we have much more than that!
And, in case any of you haven’t voted today, here’s a convenient link! http://startoff.ca/vote :D
