Another Halo Comic Strip

Evolving the design

I tried something a little different with Cortana this time around. I've kept her design pretty simplistic over the course of these comics and my guest spots on One-One-Se7en but I thought it was time to try and make it closer to the source. You're opinions are always welcome of course. Hate it, love it, feel free to let me know either way. All comments and critiques are appreciated.

Quit whining people

Lame. Desktop I built a year ago for under 2k ran crysis with everything maxed. I agree with John. If you want to take the easy way out and buy a pre-built computer you're setting yourself up for epic fail. Not to mention more costly upgrades.

hahahahahahaha

ITS A JOKE

the guy bleow me is a idiot

#31 - mew - 09/06/2009 - 13:25

Crysis isn't THAT bad. but it is pretty rediculous.

the "Impossible to run" thing is dumb because they would not be able to make it if that were the case. maybe the maximums are just nonexistant?

The Bane of Technology

Little left for the fun stuff...
And nostalgia, for that matter.

All that hype over high tech has just evaporated without a trace...

Crysis

lmao that is great!!! i read in my GI (i think) that NASA got Crysis to run at full requirements for like 7 mins (or was is secs) before the computers crashed!! lmfao that is a priceless comic. you're doing some great work and keep it up!! :-D

#28 - Fenton 2010 - 07/25/2008 - 03:18

Wait

I've never see a Crysis box, but are the system requirements really THAT bad?

#26 - MC - 05/30/2008 - 14:13

lol

i saw recently that NASA said they were close to running Crysis all the way up

it was on G4TV.com

#25 - lol - 03/28/2008 - 16:59

Gragh

What most people don't realize is their comp can run Crysis if it runs Call of Duty 4.

#24 - Brian - 02/22/2008 - 19:42

So True

I have Crysis, run it on medium settings, and the damn thing still lags!

Excellent game, though!

#23 - Maslab - 02/10/2008 - 00:35

weeeey i can play crysis oh high settings :))))) one of the most beautiful games ive ever played but too easy

#22 - Arhman - 12/23/2007 - 02:51

OUTSTANDING

Crysis'system requirements are CRAZY!

#21 - Thievious Laptopus - 12/12/2007 - 15:29

Cortana from 1st panel -> Cortana in last panel = Copy-pasta.

#20 - Namagem - 12/05/2007 - 06:11

Ha. Crysis requires cupholders to run properly.

#19 - TantaClaus - 11/24/2007 - 20:37

Lol

This is funny

#18 - Sim - 11/22/2007 - 16:45

head too big for body

I think the problem is that Cortana's head is drawn slightly too big. Also she seems kinda butch for a girly AI.

#17 - m0nkeysensei - 11/20/2007 - 06:23

Wow

Chruschef,
Thanks for the offer, really. But I'm in a position where I need a laptop because space is so limited where I live. I'd love to build another gaming rig but there just isn't the room to house a big tower in my itty-bitty living space.
Sad really. I used to always have a top-of-the-line setup back before I got hurt. *sigh*

Crysis+Great Comic

Hah, great comment!

Basis of crysis: meteor hit earth, North Koreans seize the island, you fight some North Koreans, then the meteor opens, a giant sheet of ice expands making a giant "ice dome" you fight against aliens to the center, to destroy the meteor i'm guessing..

You shudn't have to dismantle your computer, just update all of your hardware drivers, i have a custom built PC, I didn't make myself, AlienwareALX, x2 8800GTX, 4gigs of ram(ddr2), QX6800,OC'd to 4ghz, Crysis runs like a beauty, though its a HUGE file, 12 gigs.

I looked over all the comics and Cortana looks a lot better than she did in the 1st comic. I agree with the shruggin arms comment but I uderstand why you did it.
Try making her head a little smaller.

#14 - Mickey - 11/19/2007 - 14:00

The only real problem with Cortana is that her arms are usually up in a "shrug" position all the time.

That's a lot of shrugging.

#13 - Mike - 11/19/2007 - 13:50

Cortana doesn't look to dandy in any of your strips. Everything else looks fine... if not great... but Cortana ruins every strip she's in, if you ask me.

Maybe you just have trouble drawing females?

#12 - Nobody - 11/19/2007 - 00:42

sorry man

i kinda agree with Wave of Lag, all of your pictures and characters like the spartans, covenant, humans, mario, etc. are awsome, im even surprised how you draw that fast and creat great artwork, but Cortana looks kinda...well, wierd, i wanted to tell ya this earlier but since your on the subject now is a good time

#11 - MonsterMouth Comics - 11/18/2007 - 22:10

damn

I see all the comics in one day id din't made me laugh need more pizass

#10 - williamcyan - 11/18/2007 - 11:52

Hmm

I really can't tell anything new about cortana--but there's something thats been irking me ever since i started reading this series. As a forenote, i really love your clean art style--the spartans are really well designed. But cortana...her silly forehead always seems to be popping out or something. Like...shes always tilting her head down. Gah. i can't pin it down. It's like her face is a bit slanted...but not really. It may just be artistic license, but argh. Tis a free world, yea?

#9 - Wave Of Lag - 11/17/2007 - 21:22

Heh, personally Consoles have watered down my gaming experience. but still you guys got Halo 3 PC gamers get Crysis simple as that

#8 - Sum d00d - 11/17/2007 - 18:39

Zzombie does it again!

Seriously though, Crysis is one game I really want to play! Fingers crossed it'll come out on consoles too, because that's the only way I can afford to play it :(

#7 - Addy - 11/17/2007 - 10:50

every game i tried to install used to do that
thats why I bought a console
games alway work on them

#6 - wolfy - 11/17/2007 - 10:33

Lol

Pretty funny, i guess not even a UNSC cruiser can handle Crisis..

#5 - Jacob - 11/17/2007 - 10:13

........................

I think it was funny. At first i thought mc was going to ask where the cup holders at it and cortana was going to sigh, but it was still good. MAKE MORE!

#4 - Spartan 117 - 11/17/2007 - 08:46

Fitting

Nice one, it made me smile :) Too bad Crysis is meant for systems that are a year off of now.

#3 - Webtweaker - 11/17/2007 - 08:19

lol

maybe they forgot to upgrade the RAM XD

what's that game about btw?

#2 - zhenoob - 11/17/2007 - 07:47

I feel... Old...

My god I feel your pain! I actualy do hav e a custom built gameing pc, built it myself the way your suppost to, intead of buying one of those pansy prebuilt ones, and I haft to dismantle it and install more shit on there to play crysis at top notch. Major suckzorz.

#1 - John Kenyon - 11/17/2007 - 07:15
