Well we didn't see massive nuclear explosions when the other meteors hit. Presumably, they were just smashing the houses they hit.

We didn't actually see the other hits, only the meteors an indeterminate distance away. Also, mushroom cloud != nuclear blast. Mushroom clouds are formed from any sufficiently strong explosion.

Also, being a game construct, it could be a very small mushroom cloud. There's no indication that it was larger than the house at all.

I'm aware of this. I was mostly using it as an expression, but also because in videogames, comics, and whatever else, mushroom clouds DO equal nuclear explosions like 99% of the time.

Or meteor strikes WHAT A COINCIDENCE!

Actually, there is indication that it was a rather large explosion.

I mean, geez, everyone knows that.

You realize Andrew is the author, of MSPA right? When Runs says "There is indication", in this case, he's absolutely right.

Mike McC · 06-07-2009, 10:45 PM

Or he's screwing with people. That was my assumption.

Also, caps mean 100% total serious, that they do. Yup.

It's like if Brian puts up a special topic here in the the NPF forum that says "want to see a special, spoilerific sneak peak of the last strip of 8BT?" You wouldn't want to discuss or show that image outside of that particular thread, as a lot of folks would probably want to avoid the spoilers. (And for the record 434 doesn't count as it's canon, in-comic 'foreshadowing,' as opposed to an outright spoiler.)

In this particular case it's not much of a spoiler so it's not that big of a deal, but in the future I'd hope we'd avoid linking brazenly to such material without including the prerequisite spoiler-tags.

Nnnnnope. I'm saying that it could literally be anything until put into context in an update. Also, it's not as if that's a super sevcret thread. It's the suggestion box, the thread spicifically linked to on the front page.
