Lolz I too do that as Engie XD

That Engie is Zashiki-Warashi!

Robe = rope.

The rope/cloak/hoodie/thing she's wearing makes it.

Also, SP sucks.

Oh lord, i actually do this when i'm an engie.

Wait, wait....wait...
Isn't that the wrong hair style for red engine-tan?

also, heavy is going: five dollah foot long...

so little engie tan is borderline insane?

Heavy is spy

Everyone that plays Engineer gets a little paranoid.

Fun fact- Both baby Medic and Engie-tan use the diaper changing station.

Oh yeah, the hand gesture Heavy does is basically saying she's crazy.
It is in no way an asian thing, it just hasn't been used for YEARS.

Leveling and progress bar systems will lose popularity in the next 4-5 years.
Probably will be replaced by short-timed, fast to do leveling, which resets very often(say once or twice a week).
Other than that there will still be progress bars... in achievements.

Also, anyone know how to unlock Tech Attack 2 & 3?

All the level system did was give you more attacks. You actually got stats and stuff from food and other stuff you buy from shops. Feels more balanced that way, as you get more powerful attacks as you get to later levels, but can still upgrade your stats any time.

So, anyone who wants to know what a Hikikomori is... http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Hikikomori (I'm not liable for any time wasted on TV Tropes)

I get a feeling she will die right before she makes it :/ Also that scout might come and cap it instead. (Cause he's a jerk >:( )

Inb4 plot twist

Also, if you read the comments you'll find out what the title is about :P

@ Somefag

Engi-tan just shot at them, they are hiding behind a corner and Heavy is gesturing that she's crazy :P

I wonder if Engi-tan, you know...with all that time on her hands, if she "whacks" her "sentry" with that "wrench" of hers. Hint hint, nudge nudge...

...either that or a hoe-down on the dispenser.

What the crap does the name mean?And what's Heavy doing with his finger,spinning it around?Or is it some retarded weeaboo hand signature that only social outcasts use?...

@Engi-trollnonymous: At least it's not a cardboard box that's moving on its own.

OH! you have intel. that makes you not spy... WHAT WAS THAT?! *bang bang* did you see the shimmer?!? I saw the shimmer... not gunna backstab me THIS time....

Then along came a critrawket...

How come Red Medic is still babby medic but Red Engie is now all grown up?

You know what annoys me, I have to wait a week to get the next volume of Scott Pilgrim, and Jo aparently has all of them stashed away somewhere. Silly shipping mandates.

@So..

It's supposed to be cute

where be male engi 0.o

To be fair, the leveling system, while extraneous, did end up making a massive chunk of the game become a River City Ransom tribute.

Ten bucks says Blu spy grabs and runs

Glad to notice a few Zetsubou-sensei fans. :3

I'm sure there is a hidden joke here, maybe the title? If only I knew what it meant...

Yeah, I don't get the point of leveling up in beat-em-ups. Why is the system even there? Isn't the point to, you know, beat the shit out of people? It makes me think of the old arcade beat-em-ups, where all you had to do was press a button to join in the fun.

where was the joke for this strip? Or are we supposed to give a shit about these characters?

…who never bother to get training or employment of any kind, and are content to laze around the rest of their natural born life. Sometimes, they realise just how bad they are and they might try and change it. I don't know about the other cases, though. Remember, NEETs =/= Hikikomoris.

And usually, they will go outside, if only to get food or something that's attributed to their activity. Sometimes they do get over it, and end up being a very shy or reclusive person, but holding down a job of some kind. NEETs on the other hand, are jobless gits who are just a load on society…

@James Parmer: And besides, that's not what they are. What you've described is closer to a NEET than a hikki. A hikikomori usually shuts themselves off from society due to great stress that causes them to snap, whilst taking up some form of activity to help them cope.

@James Parmer: I know what it means. I'm betting others will still ask, though.

i am missing the real mens in this comics seriously where are the mens it wont take long and the next comic includes no mens

@Jake'm: Hikikomori: A Japanese term for a person who is a shut-in, someone who generally does nothing but sponge off of their parents and spend a great deal of their lives cooped up inside a tiny room. Also a term for people who make nothing of their lives.

Yay, Chibi Engie is back! A bit trigger happy, but she's back.

I agree the leveling thing has gotten outta hand the old school beat em ups don't need a level system leave that to the mmos and rpgs

Commenting on the author's note: apparently, Ubisoft said to the guys making it that people wouldn't be satisfied with the game's length for the $10 price and that they had to throw in leveling to make it worth it. Yeah, it's stupid.

Interesting choice of title name... I imagine SOMEone's going to want to know what it means.

@ Zone The RED Soldier used his equaliser to steal the intel from BLU base. Seeing Snipers on the roof, he tossed intel to RED Medic-tan to cap. She makes it back to base and is assisted going up the stairs by RED Heavy. In the RED Intel Room, they are shot at by RED Engie who thinks they are spies.

I just realized that the medic is red :O
So why has she playing with the blu pyro?

Pleasepleaseplease reenact the entire story of NHK ni yokoso with stay at intel engie and baby medic.

Engi is a Spy!

The Heavy can dance the Robot ^^

Could someone please explain the story? I don't really get what is happening.

How cute! The engie has a blanket!

inb4 Frank/Zack photonote, and the rage it will inevitably cause.

DAT pipe [first panel]

Finally the doctor reach the new dumping site which is also being used as a stockpile(quantum stockpiling trick) for the local mechanic.

what ridiculously good timing.
i want that metal pole that engie-tan's cleaning.

That damn Engineer is a red hunter.
