    She was an elf.

    Then she took an arrow to the knee.

    1. meanderling

      OH NOOOOO–
      *explodes*

    2. Mkvenner

      That joke is getting old.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Only getting old? It got old over 9000 hours ago.

        1. ShadowWing Tronix

          OK, you just made a baby cry.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          Baby Jesus?

          OH MY!

        3. Rex Hondo

          If it’s actually Jesus, then you should totally have him take a look at that knee.

        4. Tucker

          You sure it wasn’t 1006?

      2. Mkvenner

        I should know, I took a frying pan to the knee.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Better your knee than your femur, you need those to live.

        2. Aizat

          Oh yeah? Well I took a door to the knee.

        3. NakedDumblydore

          I took a glass coffee table to the knee. Y’know, after I put the rest of my leg through it.

        4. Bickendan

          One of my friends was riding a horse who spooked, dropped him, dragged him and he ended up taking a brick wall to the knee 10 years ago.

          It still hasn’t fully healed.

        5. TSED

          My dad took a hockey goal post to the knee over 40 years ago. He still has a limp.

        6. Animal

          12 gauge to the knee, 35 years ago.

        7. shadowsneakz

          O Rly? I got a kick to the knee. By my friend. I was pissing him off.

        8. Mkvenner

          Wow no one got the TF2 reference.

        9. Mkvenner

          I took jarate to the other knee.

        10. Tucker

          Boink!

        11. Pickle

          I would take a Jarate to the knee, but I already took a bullet to the head

        12. Tucker

          And a fire to the face. And a rocket to the junk.

        13. Tucker

          -clears throat- To the FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

        14. The Other Mike

          Well, that’s what you get for trying to outsmart boolet.

      3. Aizat

        Yeah and why do people always took an arrow to the knee? Why don’t they take an arrow to the elbow or the foot or both?

        1. Dragon

          because that’s the only way to become a security guard and people need jobs?

        2. Jenny Creed

          It’s an old Norse expression that means “I got married.”

          And now your mind is blown by someone who hasn’t played Skyrim.

      4. Drunken Nordmann

        Memes never get old least they would stop being childish.

        1. Drunken Nordmann

          Otherwise, not lest. Sometimes I should use a dictionary in case I’m not sure what some words mean.

        2. Historyman68

          It works, it sounds like an old prospector giving advice.

        3. Drunken Nordmann

          That’s really flattering. English is not my native language, so I always fear to make a mistake.

      5. tyren22

        It got old a month after the game came out, and yet I still hear it 2 years later.

        At least it’s not with irritating frequency though.

        (GREETINGS FROM THE FUTURE!)

    3. Spazman

      I used to make that joke. then I took an arrow to my FAAAAAACE

    4. AckAckAck(Now with sugar powered speedster!))

      I don’t think that’s a proper way to tell the joke….

  2. meanderling

    Mike is totally checking out Amber’s ass in the last panel.

    1. David Herbert

      Actually it looks more like the back of her head. He likes her hair, I guess?

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        or he noticed a bald spot…

      2. Spammy McSpamster

        He has experience recognizing her from the back of her head.

        In an alternate universe anyway.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Why would he know that…. OOOOOOOH! I see… 😀

        2. Tucker

          Well, we already know that Mike is a sort of unfeasible. Perhaps he’s actually transcended individual universe and possibly even the Cheese to become a multi-dimensional reality walker – simultaneously experiencing all universes at once. Britja’s: eat your heart out. The hyper-potent dick-itude of Mike’s being outperforms all of your tech.

          Clearly this is the only way to explain his less grumpy look and general interest in the physical being of Amber.

          Mike’s all up in your mom, breaking your mind.
          All your moms are belong to Mike…for a nickel; he’s a good guy and pays. Mike’s not a freeloader.

      3. sarpiedon

        He’s thinkin, “Superman da Ho!”

    2. agentksilver

      Yeah, he totally is. Mike and Amber transcend spacetime.

  3. Wack'd

    I’m going to write World of Warcraft / Angry Birds crossover fiction now.

    1. Digidestined of Trust (Tim)

      I wonder how that would work, sounds like an interesting idea

      1. Tucker

        http://roosterteeth.com/archive/?id=3015

      2. Rognik

        Don’t forget to make it a slash fanfic to make it truly appalling.

        1. The E-man

          By appalling, you mean AMAZINGLY PERFECT

  4. David Herbert

    You’d think Ethan would know by now.

  5. Plasma Mongoose

    *is picturing Amber as a Dwarf*

    1. Stephen Bierce

      *is picturing Amber as a GNOME*

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        “There’s no race like gnome…”

        1. Twentydragon

          Well, lemme give you a taur of the place…

        2. Ancestral Hamster

          “Once you go gnome, you never go home.”

    2. eerilychildish

      Do you honestly see her playing Alliance? I figured her for a troll shaman or some such.

      1. Aizat

        I thought she make a Rogue or Hunter.

        1. Aizat

          I did spell it right, right?

      2. gangler

        Is she a Paladin in WoW too? Depending on when this is taking place her only option for Horde Paladin would be Blood Elf, and you know how she feels about the elves.

        1. Fluffy776

          Didn’t the Cata add on allow the um Turion (the cow race. Haven’t played in a while and never played one) to be Paladins?

          I picture her as a Horde player. But she just seems like the kind of girl that would yell “Blood and thunder!” more than anything else 😛

        2. Aizat

          I think you mean the Tauren.

        3. gangler

          Yes, that’s why the year was a variable in it. I actually thought Cata was much more recent though. Looking at the date it was released I can’t really see any reason to believe it takes place pre-cata. My mistake.

        4. Monocle

          The strip does still seem to be in Fall 2010, so no Tauren Paladins yet. Tauren Pallies did not go live till the last full week of November of that year, and we know her Paladin character has been around a bit.

          She has to be Alliance then, since before this the only Horde Pallies were Blood Elves.

          Thinking she is probably a Dwarf or a Draenei.

        5. David

          Dumbing of Age does not take place in any specific year.

        6. Tucker

          For more information on this phenomena, please refer to the provided literature.

        7. Plasma Mongoose

          So it’s the year 20XX, how very Mega-Man.

        8. Zuche

          And that specific year in which it does not place is most certainly not 1095.

        9. Tucker

          I just hope it’s not 1942.

        10. Icalasari

          …So it could take place in the future? …With these being the great great great great grandchildren of the characters in Shortpacked and It’s Walky!, with said characters being very eerily like their ancestors!

          …Damn somebody fucked uo the progression of technology…

        11. Tucker

          It’s actually going to be the year 3000. We just haven’t met Bender yet.

        12. Slipdance

          Maybe it takes place in the not too distant future. Next Sunday, A.D.?

        13. Tucker

          There was a guy named Joel,
          Not too different from you or me.

          (that goes way back pre-Mike)

    3. Rognik

      I think she’d look hot with a beard.

    4. Gee

      More blood for Armok?

  6. Confuzor

    TFAnimated poster!

    …I want one…

    1. Spiffster13

      Question is, is it Dina’s or Amber’s?

      And I would have pegged Amber to have a My Little Pony Poster up somewhere…

      1. ryan

        neither. it’s ethan’s poster.

    2. Zababcd

      How can you tell that it’s a TF Animated poster? As far as I can see, someone took a sledgehammer to the Google Chrome web browser logo then photographed the destruction and put it on a poster. Assuming you’re talking about the poster visible in the comic.

      1. Chrisby

        I can easily spot Optimus, Bumblebee and Prowl, and that big green thing in the back is definitely Bulkhead.

  7. Aizat

    Who wants to be a pointy eared, snobby, so full of themselves, smug, xenophobic, magic addicted hippies? To me, the only good races are humans, dwarves, orcs(the good kind, not the chaos ones), lizardmen, catpeople and hawkmen.

    1. eerilychildish

      You forgot the Pandaren, everyone loves the Pandaren.

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      If I ever played WoW, I might very well choose a Forsaken character.

      1. Just for kix

        *shoots an arrow at plasma mongoose’s knee*

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Thank goodness for Leg Armour.

          ^_^

  8. Akari

    Man, I want that Batman shirt.

    I also always enjoy seeing these three interact, no matter what the universe. They’re wonderful. 😀

  9. KresyAntics

    Heck No! She is Chuck Norris!

    1. Spiffster13

      Chuck Norris?

      Nope! Chuck Testa

  10. Dave McCoy

    LOK’TAR

  11. Sam

    Third panel.

    Eyeball behind the hair.

    Creepin’ me out.

    1. Rognik

      We need to get you some anime. Your head would explode.

  12. NakedDumblydore

    C’mon, Ethan. Even Amber has standards.

  13. Ter

    Mike’s look says otherwise, Amber.

    Now I can’t help but think maybe there was some crazy cosplay sex if Mike/Amber ever became canon in this universe.

    1. Ter

      OH GOD I DID NOT INTEND. WHERE DID MY THUMBS UP WALKY GRAVATAR GO?! D:

      1. fellixe

        You’ve been Joed

        1. Tucker

          …in the bum.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          …for a quarter.

        3. Tucker

          …like your mom.

  14. Zababcd

    I only played WoW for a few months, years ago, and yet I still have this nagging desire to defend my character… but elves really are annoying.

  15. Zaxares

    But elves are awesome! D:

    1. Zababcd

      Elves are awesome when they are druids (and effectively, Night Elves). Also when they make toys in Santa’s workshop.

      1. f.p.

        Clearly the most awesome is when they are druids making toys in Santa’s workshop.

      2. Rognik

        you forgot about the cookie-makers.

  16. AckAckAck(Bizarro Roz)

    The sexier the female character in MMORPGs the more probability that it’s a G.I.R.L

    1. Aizat

      Which is why some people prefer to play tabletop games.

      1. Tucker

        You know it’s bad when people turn to table-top games to get away from the awkward, gender-bending interactions.

        1. AckAckAck(Now with sugar powered speedster!))

          It will be more awkward if one of the male table top player propose to role play as a girl.

        2. Aizat

          Well, at least you know that the girl is really a dude.

        3. Tucker

          Point to Aizat!

        4. Mrelegos

          And hey, if you’re going to spend all night in your parents basement pretending to be an elf, you might as well at least have some friends over.

        5. Tucker

          Aizat’s point has been transferred to Mrelegos forth-with.

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      Considering MMORPG stands for Many Men Online Role-Playing Girls, is it really surprising?

      1. Tucker

        Much Malnutrition Or Really Pissed Girlfriends.

  17. Kernanator

    I’M IN DESPAIR! MY LACK OF COMMENTING ON THIS COMIC UNTIL THIS MOMENT HAS LEFT ME IN DESPAIR!

    …That said, Amber would probably never use a sword either. She’s always struck me as more of a bow and arrow type to me.

    1. Aizat

      Really? She’s more of a knife or gun user to me.

      1. Zababcd

        My guess is human paladin wielding a two-handed mace.

        1. Lothyna

          Gnome Rogue…. >.>

      2. Rognik

        Magic all the way, baby…

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      @Kernanator: So you have watched Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei recently then eh?

      1. Kernanator

        No, but I did read Unequally Rational and Emotional. Their running gags are catching.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          I see, I asked that cos “I’M IN DESPAIR! (Rant of the moment) I’M IN DESPAIR!” is Despair-sensei’s catchphrase.

        2. Kernanator

          I know. Ishitoki is a character there. He shows up a lot.

  18. buttsecks

    But only after someone stole her sweetroll.

  19. Kelsey

    She has integrity, that girl.

  20. Freefall

    Did anybody else have the World of Warcraft side ad and laugh?

  21. sarpiedon

    I go to the Freshdesk website one freaking time and forever shall it dominate the ads on this site…and Shortpacked…
    Is there another Wecomic Willis has so the ad can continue is global domination…

  22. Lothyna

    Hey now, Elves are awesome. xD

  23. Tucker

    I can’t believe nobody noticed the pupil that has been emancipated from Amber’s eye!

  24. Sili

    They forgot Dina at the beach, didn’t they?

    1. Rognik

      Wrong party. Walky, Billie, Joyce and Sal abducted Dina; Mike and Ethan were… doing other stuff.

      1. Sili

        They is a lovely, waffly word. “They” can refer to whoever.

        (Thanks.)

  25. JA

    Good girl, Amber. As we all know, elves are the most hated race.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVwYKtgFYCc&feature=relmfu

  26. MrMyerst

    So bit late here, but… we know that the dumbingverse and questionable content universe have crossed over…

    My new head canon is that amber and marigold are in the same guild.
    It… Pleases my sense of humor.
