Irregular Webcomic also has a claim.

Look at the respective dates on the Irregular Webcomic strips. That's only three years in the making.

Amateur. :p

Wait a minute. What about Doctor Swordopolis and Fighter's "destiny"? I was completely waiting for him to show up and have Fighter use him to slice Chaos in half, or something.

I don't get it.

The archives, Bob the Mercenary! Get thee to the archives!!

(Hint: Start at the very beginning.)

EDIT: I actually refuse to believe this is the very last comic because I have a strong suspicion that Brian would have a front page post (or at least, something unique to say on the forums) about it. This final insult to Black Mage may take us to an epilogue and there may be nothing more in terms of significant reveals, but I just have a hunch that Clevinger's ending will be obvious enough that we won't have to debate it.
(I fully await Mr. Clevinger bursting in here, laughing at my face and telling me I'm dead wrong...)

Still, if this was the official ending: there's a few unanswered questions that I'd want Brian to at least discuss with his fans in the forums or through a FAQ.

EDIT 2: Mr. Clevinger already beat me to it, and apparently there's (a little) more to come.

Idea come soon to you it will, young padowan.

Edit: EvilEarl. I would watch those videos, except South Park is on right now.

I mean, I know about the reference to four white mages and nintendo power. But, what was in that issue? An actual strategy to beat the game with four white mages?

I am pretty sure it just mentioned the plausability of doing it with 4 White mages.

Bob The Mercenary · 02-21-2010, 12:50 AM

Well...huh.

Now I feel like a dick for being absolutely unaffected by that conclusion. Good job anyway, Brian. Here's looking forward to the denouement.

My dumbfounded, mid-laughter confusion aside, I have to say the possibility that this or the big, epic, final confrontation were both perfectly possible all along during 8bit's lifespan was really what made the comic a treat to read.

EDIT: This is, of course, if you know Brian's style of anticlimax.

I second this...what was this actually referring to? Will we ever know?
