#647; In which a Spoiler is alerted

Comic Transcripts

[[two men in tall hats looking at some very large birds]]
Hat man 1: Ha, that’s a weird-looking bird.
Hat man 2: Looks kind of like the bad guy from ‘Steel Agent 3’.
Hat man 1: Oh, I haven’t seen the third one. The villain is a BIRD? Isn’t it a JET LI movie?

Hat man 2: Yeah, Spoiler Alert- the villain’s this giant robot, but at the end it turns out to be a bird in a–
Hat man 1 [[interrupting]]: WHOA whoa whoa! THAT was NOT a spoiler alert!
Hat man 1: You don’t say ‘Allergy alert, this chocolate has nuts in it’ and then SHOVE it down the person’s THROAT!

Hat man 1: The purpose of a spoiler alert is to ALERT someone. To make them AWARE of the danger while there is time to AVOID it.
Hat man 1: What if I’d just gotten STEEL AGENT 3 on Netflix and was about to go home and watch it? Give me a CHANCE, dude! Allow me to STOP you if I need to!

Hat man 2: I’m sorry. I went about that whole conversation in a foolish way. I thought you would GET that there IS NO Steel Agent 3 and that I was making a dumb joke about that bird.
Hat man 1: In the last ten seconds, that bird’s opinion of both of us has dropped dramatically.

In addition to buying things directly from me, the normal way, my game Bolted! is also now available on Amazon dot com.

On that famous website, you can also get the Creature-Crafting Magnets Set, which is made of the same artwork from the game, but is just a weird little trinket (not a playable game).

My kiddo made the elaborate version below to show off just how many magnets you get in the set (it’s 150 pieces in all — this isn’t even all of them).

Also now on Amazon is my set of Multi-Purpose Greeting Cards — a full dozen cards with envelopes in a fancy, unbranded, foil-stamped box!

Event alert!

I’ll also be showing off Bolted! at Greenwood Games, an event in Seattle this Saturday:

Greenwood Games is a free, all-ages community game event that invites players to spend the afternoon walking Greenwood Avenue from 65th to 80th, collecting clues, cracking puzzles, and discovering games made right here in Washington.

Think of it as Pride Hop, ArtWalk, and the Gumshoe all rolled into one, except the whole thing is built around games and puzzles.

Local game designers will be set up at different places along Greenwood Avenue in Phinney Ridge (near Ballard). My specific spot will be the “Holy Mountain Phinney Ridge Taproom”. All the information about all the different games & venues is on the website!

(If you’re in Seattle generally but not free tomorrow, Bolted! is also stocked at Blue Highway Games in Queen Anne.)

Next week, I’ll be at Gen Con! I personally will be hanging with my buddy Sam Logan at BFE Webcomics, booth #1217… but I have it on good authority that copies of Bolted! will be available at the CRWN Studios booth, #2549.

Visit one booth! Then the other! The order…is up to you.
