Oh god! I love tower defense but I hate the ones that sort of force you to crunch numbers. Maybe this is why I love games like Orcs Must Die and Dungeon Defenders :)

Hi Jo, please post more flat girls with glasses.

Defense Grid 2 (and most good tower defense games) are fundamentally puzzle games. Solving puzzles is fun for lots of people. I'm one of them, though I haven't had time for Defense Grid 2 yet.

I have 6 industry characters in EVE Online. My usual calculation software is broken, so I'm having to do everything manually.

I spent 5 hours going through markets, costs, profits, construction times and fuel costs yesterday.

[url=#user_comment_351779]@T[/url]: Sounds like she would enjoy playing in my FTB server :p

I imagine that Morgan approach to minecraft would be instead of fighting and hunting she would build structures to automatize everything!

Please have Morgan play EVE Online. I think she'd enjoy that.

Reminds me of the days when I used to play Diablo II, spending hours trying to make the perfect Barbarian build.

This reminds me when I played OpenTTD. Trying to build an efficient railroad, build atop an outdated railroad system. Also, managing signals to maximize the number of trains in the same rail. Also using the same rail for many different routes.

the bigger the maps get on defense grid 2 the less I want to calculate =(

F*k that, GUN TURRETS FTW!

So, who's going to introduce her to EVE?

For those asking, it's based on Defense Grid 2.

[url=#user_comment_351755]@Geary[/url]: Never heard of it, only played Gratuitous Space Battles.

[url=#user_comment_351759]@Max[/url]: A bit, yes. Think of her as the xbox kid of the comic.

I do it! I totally do it!
Maybe not the numbers part ('cus numbers are bad), but I can see me on this one as playing Kingdom Rush!

Humans are problem-solving machines, and it's satisfying to do so!

Is it intentional that Jane is literally the cancer of gaming?

This is what I do whenever I play a city builder like Anno.
It's funny, I like min-maxing but I hate math.

I do believe this comic refers to mission 12 "Incursion" in Defence Grid 2. I too kept loosing a core on wave 10 and that was just not acceptable.. I must have tried that mission 7+ times tweaking tower placements and upgrades just to beat wave 10. It was a lot of work but it was worth it in the end

Hey, Jo, do you have any opinion of Gratuitous Tank Battles? It's like a tower defense game only way more complex.

Oh mah gawd, Sanctum. I really hope he actually makes a strip showing the characters. I really want to "Mine" myself a Skye.

As a tryhard I love others tryhards. Thanks mate. Keep up the good work.

Hey, I like it.
Then again, I'm doing engineering so...

Also being Demo-chan is all about Chemistry; a good one LOVES math.

Of course Jane would be confused by anything that isn't mindless shooting.

Holy SHIT is that a Sanctum 2 strip!?
Jo, you magnificent creature. =D

[url=#user_comment_351711]@Serathis[/url]: was my thought too.

I though placing turrets is Engi thing.

Well I'm not like this with Tower Defence games (not a genre I'm a fan of), I've got papers spread all over the place for modded minecraft stuff. Sometimes the problem solving really is the best part.

This comic made me buy the game.

This is me and my fiancèe perfectly. When I'm playing Civilization I'm in deep thought about how to proceed, and she's looking at me like "that is not the face of someone having fun."

Me: "I HAVE NOT EVEN BEGUN TO FUN"

Oh Jo, keeping all the girls was the best decision you made.

Also, Morgan is a very good role model!

I was trying to play this game on Competitive Hard without losing cores ... but after about the 7th level I just kept running into walls. Finished the game on Competitive Normal.

I think they should have allowed tower items on competitive hard and orbital as well on competitive elite.

[url=#user_comment_351732]@Verteros[/url]: Yep, it looks like Defense Grid... I discovered that game a while ago, and I'm having a blast with it... It's amazing that such a simple game can be so much fun. Games like Battlezone, Defense Grid, Sanctum, Orcs Must Die, etc, are simple, yet amazing. Reminds me of the good old 90s :P

Soldier's right, since when has the cyclops ever wanted math?

Math is only a number.

Yeah, I know this!
<Playing a turn-based game>
Me: Hmm, this enemy is weak for dark magic, but I wear an item that buffs my ice skills... Should I attack it now, or may be buff myself, or...blah-blah-blah...
My friend: JUST KICK IT WITH SOMETHING!

BTW, game was EBF 4 by Kupo707. Try it guys!

Is this based on Defence Grid 2?

People look at me this way when I play Wartune, but through research, study, and min-maxing, I've done things they haven't. Things they could only dream of being strong enough to do.

Get on my level. Then give me your credit card, I want to upgrade my sylph(pet) to legend.

lulz! y so srs. I has wife n kids! No lifer bunch!

Oh wait I'm a gamer I don't have wife and kids. Min-maxing for the win!

NOOOO NOT MATH! MY ONLY WEAKNESS!

Hell yeah, Sanctum.

If YoU cAnT tElL, i`M nEw hErE.








(NEVER DOING THAT QUIRK AGAIN. I PROMISE.)

Just spam gun turrets like God intended.

Pray that Morgan won't get into EVE Online.

I'm with Morgan on this. While I don't get this serious about TD games, determining how to maximize efficiency is very fun and satisfying for me. :D

Hehe, I got just the same attitude when played Sanctum.
