Have no fear friends, Minmax's armor isn't blue yet.

I think someone may have already had this idea, but my memory is terrible: Psimax will try to taunt Minmax into drawing Oblivious by detailing how he killed Kin. Minmax will scream something along the lines of "You blew up Kin?!" and the armor will change to match. If you listen carefully, you can hear that entire scenario through Oblivious' scabbard.

What are you referring to?

When Minmax next draws Oblivious, his armor will be blue.

Actually the very fact the armor is blue when it is next grabbed, Psimax probably already has a good idea of what the sword does, once the armor color would change he could probably guess what it does so he may not necessarily need to have the sword drawn to figure out the sword moves through time. But then it comes to question whether he can figure out it IS oblivion and only minimax can move it. Not to mention if he needs to factor in all the different possible factors each reality can do or face, a sword randomly jumping in and out of reality would be a pretty hard factor nail down when it is in existence and could effect the outcome. So either, like others have said, he will need to take control of it or destroy it.

I hadn't really thought about what Psimax is thinking, and the fact that Psimax has also seen the blue glove clue we're all obsessing on. Since he's run the maze 818 times, Psimax must know that the armour from in the chest changes colour when the wearer says (proper) colours. He's seen the blue gauntlet, and so now he knows that Oblivious won't be drawn until Minmax says 'bloo' (choose your homophone).

can you destroy what doesn't exist? actually on that note, can the maze 'reset' the sword if it doesn't exist?

as for the colour change, i'd think psimax would know better than to expect minmax to draw oblivious without giving him a chance to speak/change his armours colour.

Minmax: Giving me a free shot? You BLEW it! (armor turns blue)

The general consensus seems to be that this next colour change is going to be some kind of pun, i motion that all further plot details are resolved by method of wordplay

Seconded!

[Product Placement]

Still trying to figure out how the hell PsiMax can be juggling this many powerpoints, although the whole "figured out the cheat code for the maze" theory is pretty good. I'm just hoping for some clarification in the story, at some point.

[SirButcher]

Well, I suppose MinMax will cry: "I will throw you into the blue flame!"

This guess as good as any other

[Rooks]

Has Thunt stated when the next comic will go up? I don't see the clock up on the main site yet.

Despite the note at the top of the page about the update schedule, it's actually every week at Monday for a month or so, and then the clock will go up when it is the four-day schedule. http://www.goblinscomic.org/big-changes-for-goblins/

[Rooks]

Thanks! I had read that. Not sure why I thought it only applied to one week though.

[RedwoodElf]

Well now that Psimax killed Browgath...will Browmax be coming for revenge?

I remember seeing that particular update when it came out, and indeed the armor looked blue. But when I load the page now, its just black. I guess after coloring/correcting, it got reverted back to black.
Woops, just noticed the hand grabbing the sword does indeed appear to be blue.

[Zwums]

It looks purple to me. I hate being color blind.

Well, since all the cool kids are doing it:



I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

[Orzahn]

Yeah, well how about you add "June 11" to that smashing thread title? Ôé¼dit: never mind that.


What does that last panel with the levitating PsiMax remind me of? I'm sure it's another reference, maybe a movie, but I can't grasp it...

Hmm.. I know what you mean. Storm indeed used to have that pose a lot, but also Jean Grey, in her Phoenix form. Still, they're not the thing that's in the back of my mind. I seem to recall someone hovering and slowly and slightly bobbing up and down..

Hmmm, green lantern, in his cartoons and the new movie.
Kida in DIsney's Atlantis when she's all freaky blue pissed off, and her mom in the intro scene.

just about every psychic flying person ever.

And the BEST fit, Dr. Manhattan. HE floats like that before zapping people in 'nam in the movie.

[RidcullyJack]

It's familiar because power floats.

Watching his bro getting splisk'd should raise the hair above his eyes.

If he's smart he'll probably browse for easier targets.

[Zwums]

Shaded Browgath splishk? Kinda yucky. On a similar note, I think I want some lunch meat. Or sausage. mmmmm
