I dunno....KZ2 parting a vast ocean of RROD 360's seems more like a 'shit on msoft' type commentary.

It was parting the sea? That kind of slipped on me, it looked like he was summoning them from the air? I should know my religion history things better.

The Red Sea was the final obstacle for Moses and the Hebrews to escape from the Pharaoh's armies, and the 'red' Xbox 360's are a reference to the parting of the sea.

This strip is a classic template...

Just change the characters and the machine to fit the times:

Master Chief and the 360...

Mario and Zelda with a Wiimote...

Etc.

It's always funnier when your not the one being made fun of though.

heh

That I knew, but the whole parting thing slipped past me in the comic. I guess it's the whole xbox =/= water thing :lol

 

[DeeVoc]

Charlton Heston is in KZ2?

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

:lol Nice work, PA. All the explanation needed in this thread really makes me facepalm though.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

Killzone 2 will lead the poor, oppressed ps3 gamers to the promised land?

Through the Red (Ring of Death) Sea.

edited: beaten. several times. Common, GAF, all those explanations were really needed?

Sorry, but yes..

I'm an ex histoy major with a deep interest in philosophy and relegion and it took me a few tries to "get it".

Took me a bit just because I went in assuming it was a "this slide is MS, this slide is Sony, this slide is Nintendo" type ordeal . . .

 

[SonOfABeep]

erm.

First panel uses Christ carrying his cross as a symbol of how the PS3 has been a burden to bear for sony.

KZ Moses is obvious as the savior of an oppressed people from a foreign land.

Third panel is mostly a gag, but also symbolic in that the red sea swollowed the Egyptian aggressors, like the sea of red rings.

I like this strip, despite it's sacreligious nature. Goes a bit deeper than your average religious gag.

Took me a bit to figure out how the first panel was related to the other two and to figure out what the pile of 360s in the last panel was suppose to be/represent.

 

[zoukka]

Heheh took me a while, but this is indeed pretty fucking finny :lol

I think it takes a few months for most poeple to actually "get" it.

EDIT: Am I drunk?

 

[ravien56]

I don't get the hate coming from everybody and shitting on killzone , 360 fanboys were going crazy when halo 3 came out and that was crap.

 

[truly101]

Uncharted 2: =10 commandments?
God of War 3 = Ark of the Covenant?
LBP DLC = Manna?

First panel isn't Christ, its the Jews who were slaves of Egypt at the time of Moses. Slave labor was used to complete the pyramids and Exodus falls in the same time period.

 

[SovanJedi]

The only reason why I didn't get it first time was because I didn't see that Moses had one of them Killzone guard masks on.

Tiny iPhone is still tiny!

Hold your ponies, nobody is shitting on Killzone 2, just the fans like that Tormentoso guy who got banned over complaining that the game got a 9.5 in graphics instead of a 10. Let's wait until the writeup before jumping to conclusions to what EXACTLY they mean by the strip, as it seems to be quite open to interpretation.

 

[Chinner]

In a South Park mood tonight. Felt I should make this.

high five

No. The first panel is the Israelite slaves carrying the "pyramid bricks" of PS3s. Moses (Killzone 2) frees them from their slavery and parts the Red Ring Sea.

When's the last time any of you have been to a Passover dinner?!? YEESH.

[GI_Josh87]

Jesus I hate "who's a fanboy" discussions. The comic is funny, lets leave it at that.

 

[Uncle]

Charlton Heston is in KZ2?

Bad news for the damned dirty apes.

 

[SonOfABeep]

Sorry missed the mark on the first one.

Someone needs to shop the shawn elliot toilet robo seat kid shitting on KZ2 literally for when anyone uses that phrase.

 

[DeeVoc]

:lol Oh fucking hell

Set persecution complex to MAX SPEED!

Hey son, I ain't playing.

 

[antiloop]

Funny, but miracles only happen on the xbox.

Halo.



Other consoles need no single saviour to sell well. They need a lot of good games instead.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Seems like something Castle Vidcons would do...

It does indeed, except that would mean that Moses is parting a sea of decapitated heads.

You're right...

Nintendo needed two or three and a new controller.

 

[Skilotonn]

I love this topic because the sarcastic title was obviously made to bring in angry fans just for them to sense sarcasm in the comic, be relieved and think that PA loves KZ2, but for them to read it again to start to wonder if PA is in fact making fun of them for regarding KZ2 as the messiah...

Which is it huh?

:lol

I'm kinda proud, really.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

That comic is alright. This thread has fanboy stench.

The comic doesn't?

 

[Steroyd]

:lol @ everything

 

[draven]

The strip to me seems like a cross between castle vidcons and perry bible fellowship, in that it is convoluted and ultimately not funny. C'mon PA, you usually do so well.

 

[FrankT]

Seems really simple to me:
1. Sony fans have struggled for so long.
2. Their savior arrives in the form of ___.
3. Savior parts 360 domination to lead them to paradise.

I've seen this before somewhere I'm sure.

So the PS3 will now spend 40 years wandering the desert?

:lol

 

[EMBee99]

I wish this topic would start talking about how fucking good the art is in this strip.

Bravo, Sir, bravo. :lol

 

[jakonovski]

Gawd, I wish I could summon so much passion over a videogame as KZ2 fanboys. I just end up fighting over politics instead and that's just depressing.

Maybe when FEAR 2 comes out.
