Wait, if the trolls won how come skaia has gone wasteland and the exiles are going through the same process with the computers?

It's Alternia that's a wasteland with the Exiles wandering around it. Not Skaia.

It was established a long, long time ago that the players' home planet gets destroyed one way or another. The fact that Exiles are common both to the Kids' session and the Trolls' implies that there are going to be some Exiles in every session, whose job it is to rebuild things after all is said and done.

Troll PVP, fuck yeah.
I think what I like most about the flash animations is the fact that they're mostly sprite-less. Sprites are fun, but it's awesome to see the trolls' "real" shape.

The music in this one didn't seem as epic as the last few, but Aradia punching Vriska around makes up for that.

How does Droogs manage to make being a completely terrifying asshole look so cool?

Loyal · 09-09-2010, 08:19 AM

It's the smile.

I liked how Jack was one-hit killing enemies using stabs with as little movement as possible, making an extreme contrast to Karkat's hyperactive fighting style.

It's always been obvious that Droogs was, THE BEST, ever since he revealed that he carried his entire wardrobe around with him. Every single revelation, every single thing he did thereafter, just added on to that.
With this update it's like a mountain of awesome, like some sort of Babel Tower of completely fantastic.

To be honest though I'm kind of hoping that it's revealed that he's so super competent enough to switch to another character, and that other character being Kanaya.
But then again maybe I'm asking for, too much awesome.

Wigmund · 09-09-2010, 10:14 AM

I wonder if Droog still has Stitch in his wardrobe.

Doubt it. I'm pretty sure the Midnight Crew storyline takes place long after the Exile's part is done. Spades is personally responsible for building the town where/when the intermission takes place. It's possible for the consoles to be interacted with due to Wierd Time Shit, but all the Exiles/Midnight Crew except Spades are dead after the intermission, so I think the timeline for their involvement goes something like:

- Troll's game session begins
- SS/CD/HB/DD are exiled
- Troll's game session ends
- Exiles interact with Trolls via consoles
- Spades Slick rebuilds civilization on Alternia, Midnight Crew formed.
- [INTERMISSION] Shenanigans with the Felt, during or after which everyone but Spades Slick and Snowman (presumably English as well) ends up dead.
- Spades Slick continues to mess around with the consoles.

It just doesn't seem to make much sense for the Exiles to bother with the trolls once they've got civilization reestablished and a city to run, unless they had no other recourse.

[edit]Yeah, okay, Intermission takes place long after the Exiles have done their part.
