Deep Blue
This is my approach to video games. It annoys me to no end to have someone ‘taking it easy’ on me so I don’t do it to others. It’s patronizing and I’m far too competitive. Learn from the beatings or get out of the way. 
STATS using the third arm might be moving out of the strategy category and right into cheating. I’ll leave that for you to decide.
Thanks to a couple eagle-eyed readers it has been brought to my attention that in the last strip I had Coco eating pepperoni pizza when she is, in fact, a vegetarian. I could explain this away as her metabolism is so crazy that she doesn’t care or it’s some sort of fake vegetarian pepperoni. Really, though, I just need to change it. So let me hear ya… What kind of pizza should Coco eat?
Next strip: The Art Of War!

Couch Potato meets the “Iron Spud!”
A marquee matchup!
As long as STATS doesn’t use the turbo function on the NES Advantage, it’s not cheating.
Ah, the Advantage. It WAS a freaking advantage. Not only were the big buttons easier to pound on but you got a joystick AND turbo. It was definitely cheating.
well for Coco either could have mushrooms and dried tomato slices, which looks like peperoni…
or you could have a filler where where poe whispers to tripp ‘wasn’t Coco vegetarian?’
Tripp: “two words: combat. chip.”
Coco: ‘what? did I miss something?’
Poe: ‘wimp.’
on the whole? don’t change it. you can’t step in the same river, once.
It’s a super easy thing to go back and fix and it’s kind of ridiculous to leave it in without explaining it away (which I’d rather not do). I’m leaning toward mushroom and green peppers.
Or maybe you could say that the Narvan king had already cloned Coco and that is, in fact, a clone and not the real Coco
…make it up as you go
I had actually very much considered that but I went a different direction.
Yeah, you’re probably right. You’d have even more explaining to do if that was a clone.
Yep.
A third arm would make FPS’s sooo much easier. Also, my vote is a pizza with lots of black olives. Yum
Black olives. I can do that.
I don’t consider it to be cheating when I use my third arm.
It’s not… If you’re playing against someone with a third arm.
It’s like introducing the Cybermen to video games. Which just sounds like Designated: A Bad Idea.
Dropping the Cybermen reference! Nice! At least Luke is getting his licks in first.
This is exactly how I feel. I get destroyed in any multiplayer game I first try! No mercy for noobs
Same here! Don’t take mercy on me because I sure won’t when I get better than you.
