Boolets are 200 dowlar custom-tooled. $400,000 to fire for 12 seconds at 10,000 rounds per meenut.

I won on my very first playthrough, no replays, no prior plays, finished with 50k to spare.

...Full disclosure, I /am/ an accountant though. I think it actually helps you in the game. :)

Each 1 ammo for the minigun actually counts as 4 bullets

@wat: Yes, the $800 figure is incorrect.

Aren't they two hundred dollar custom tooled cartridges?

Just Pin!

Are we sure that's Recette? Are we sure that isn't that one annoying purple haired girl who tries to sell you stuff like a goldfish bowl for 520%? Or maybe the spy? Or maybe that chick IS the spy?!

Recette, you sneaky little... ho.
Still, that's like 8 bucks per bullet. What kind of rounds is he using, Bolt shells?

@Frank: Must be in the Wii version. Because I've played both the DS and Gamecube versions and don't recall ever seeing a fairy.

Heavy: Leave me alone, baby medic! You are not my wife!

@StarPilot:
Does a baby diaper contain 800 dollars for each bullet the heavy wastes on said baby?

...either that or he's a loanshark.
(All russians are, basically.)

@Ice Car: wat.

This is your best one so far.

@A Bag of Monies: Obviously from killing tiny baby cowards.

@Batabii: Read the word, "except"; and yes, there is a fairy in Animal Crossing.

@Frank: There's a fairy in Animal Crossing?

The real question is...

Where did the Heavy get all that money to buy for all that ammo he uses?

@The State: Yes, except you have to pay debts to a fairy and you don't really own the real estate business.

Why am I so horrible at everything other than running away and dying?

So it's a game where you play as Tom Nook?

Great now I got the moon level stuck in my head.

@Necronner: Oh and then there'll be a WHOLE lot of guys requesting pron of her. I hope she's a futa.

@Necronner: Sooner or later she'll be pms'ing about not being able to call her boyfriend. Then there's the texting. GODDAMN THAT'S A LOT OF TEXTING. WHO NEEDS TO FUCKING TEXT? JUST GO BIKE THERE FOR <insert god figure here>'s SAKE. ATLEAST CALL THEM. Geeze.

@somebody: fffffffffffff~

Mr. Heavy, Euria was selling those bullets at 500% base price to me...

The Guildmaster ordered weapons which I bought from him, that is sumting that cracks me hard XD

@ kommo1

As the baby player starts getting more and more experienced in her roll and the game of TF2 in general, she starts to become more mature.

She capped an intell for her team, that gave her a growth spirt. She gets a domination and captures the last point on dustbowl, Teen Medic-chan

Is it just me or is little Medic growning?

@Ze Spy:

Scrooge McDuck passed away in 1967. Echoing McDuck however, Resette had to outsmart the sharpest of sharpies and be tougher than the toughies to get to where she is by endgame... her being triumphant against a prince of darkness in the name of profit (which you can't trust) is enough.

I am disappointed by this depiction of Scrooge McDuck. The top hat and the redingote are here but where is the duck?
You better not fuck with McDuck dude.

You forgot to say how many bullets he fires in twelve seconds.

@an-on-a-moose
chucking monitors around the room, ho!

also i think you can relax for the first 2 weeks with that money..

The price of weapon has increased.

Capitalism, ho!

@Inwinta: I actually lol'd hard when a guy bought a thief's knife when he said he always wanted one. I now fear that I've just given a weapon to either a thief or a murderer.

That person in the top hat looks a lot like Carl Clover from BB.

Just pause at the beginnning if you don't want to watch it. one on the left.

Did you get the sprite from him? I swear he has a sprite almost exactly like that, but couldn't find it.

Damn I love that game... just when the the little girl buyes the PIRATE HAT saying "this is a present for momy".

maybe i'll try to finish it without loops too, i had been done to restart 3 times...

@Titanis: That also happens to me when I open NerfNow for the first time. It might be the ads, but I have FlashBlock so I can't be sure.

Oh, and at the $200 rate, it would cost $666,660 dollars to fire it until it completely empties. No idea how you get the extra $60, that's like a third of a bullet o_O

Hmm, I think it's 833 and change per boolet if you go by the in-game play, though the heavy states that the gun fires 10k rounds a minute, at $200 each. Either way, yeah, that's some expensive ammo!

I hate sasha.

Loading up the Nerf Now site always causes my entire PC to freeze up for several seconds. Using the latest Firefox 4 beta. Any sugesstions?

I fucking love Recettear strips.

I hate price gouging. It's going to cause the zombie apacolipse.

When Poker Night came out, Heavy will have another source of income. Or debt. I pre-ordered it and I don't even like poker!

10000%!? No wonder Scrooge Resette's place still looks like shit! Near Pins and Just Combos are the way to go!

This game annoys me for some reason...

@Frank: The game's been out for 3 years in Japan. Recettear got relatively big initially, but that was a while ago.

One more "-x-, ho!" reference and I'm gonna start chucking monitors around the room.

When did the little medic start speaking? And learn math?

Ironically, the game's actually much easier if you ignore profit margins and make all non-red transactions at 104/70% to level up yourself and your customers as fast as possible.

I want the Heavy's adventurer card.

when you beat the game without loops you get nothing and if you do new game+ to get the rest of the True cards it counts as looping. T_T it took like 10 attempts to get a no loop win but then you have to give it up to get all items.

A neat trick, if you get a Vending Machine A.S.A.P. you can place blue items in them and they will still sell at 100% cost (which you can't do if you haggle)

Uuuuuuuuggggh I still need to actually play this game.

I'm guessing that the achievement is based around the $200 bullet cost...but the actual in-game firing rate, which is most *definitely* less than 10k/sec....

Good to see you're going by the in-game facts instead of what heavy says on his 'meet the' video...

And aww, mini-medic is too big to be a hat now :c

I was FEARING you'd put this game in this comic too.

Oh ffuck

i laughted so hard it hurt

Hmm really I got through the game my first try (although very barely with just the skin off my nose, thank god for that food 200% event right on the last day)
But then again that was version 1.01

12 seconds of continuous firing: $400000
1 sandvich edible device: $5000
Medical insurance: 12 hours daily of letting your doctor be your hat
Getting ripped off: Priceless

Don't you think it's enough?
BORING, JO!

$200 cartridges at 10000 rounds per minute
For 12 seconds... First, let's find out how many rounds are fired in 12 seconds...
10000 x 12 / 60 = 2000 rounds
2000 x $200 per bullet = $400,000 dollars to fire this weapon for 12 seconds.

The Recettear music is now looping in your head.

For the rest of the day.

You play some of the weirdest and outright stupidest games...

What I love most is Heavy's face. lol

@M Demoman made 5 million last year. Since he makes his explosives, that probably doesn't count the costs of production. Heavy is well compensated for his production costs.

Production of death.
/lame

Just... keep waiting for Dead Rising 2... Then I'll get my due!

Genius!!!
Even in TF2, FOE... I mean, Capitalism, ho!!!!!

Ex-orphan from deathspank got a spin off?

@Patch: That's one of the reasons I'm loving Steam. We get crazy discounts every week, we get games like this thanks to Valve willing to put 'em up on Steam, and Steam Sales even saved Introversion (Makers of Uplink, Defcon, and Darwinia): http://kotaku.com/5620259/steam-sale-saves-developer

I weight 150 kilograms and fires $200 custom-tooled cartridges at 10,000 rounds per minute. It cost $400,000 to fire me for 12 seconds!!

Ahaha,smart.

@Somedood: I bet most of us have no idea what game that's talking about.

@Frank that's not even close to how to spell "CONNIVING"

Also, my cutthroat tactics apply to buying too.

"My pensions! Please! Buy my goods!"
"Sure. Here, 25% of base price."

I hope they make an expansion/sequel where we can buy land and build houses JUST so I can foreclose on people when they don't pay.

better question

where is heavy getting all this money? being a mercenary cant pay that well can it?

@I'm RICH: mmm... Capitalism.

See, this depresses me since it's all I can think of while playing the game.

"DISASTER! FOOD PRICES GONE THROUGH THE ROOF!"

"YESSSSS! Time to sell melons for 300% markup! 40k per melon hell yes."

Also, Elan won't buy anything and Nagi won't show up so I can get her. Ughhh.

ok Jo, i'll go check the game out, but if it sucks i will blame you. however if it rocks i will thank myself for choosing wisely XD

Here's a little something my friend and I made, thought you guys might enjoy it (It's a 12 second long Recettear vid, lol)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-PvgMIH8uk

Defenitly picking this game up next paycheck

@Patch: Huh. The more you know.

I think there's a word for that face. It reminds me of Mitsuba...

Also, if it wasn't for Recettear being on Steam, it wouldn't be selling as well as it is now over here. Jo probably also wouldn't have made the last 2 comics either. You know it to be true...

*goes back to playing Suguri/Gundemonium*

@Stonga: :P There was probably a quick edit, then.

@Frank
It's a doujin game, so even in japan, its audience is limited. That said, I heard it ranked up in sales to give Touhou a run for it's money over there.

I hate math.

wait... is she knitting Jayne Kobbs hat from firefly?

@Frank
It's about capitalism, dude. I'm surprised the japanese made it in the first place.

Sandvich = $5,000

STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!

It amazes me a lot how popular this is getting here in the U.S but not over there in Japan.

@Scarecrow
if you read the comic, it says the base price is 6660, not 666.

@somedood
Have you been reading the comics lately? Mini medics hair has always been blue!

head hert.my go i die now :(.,

This is going to make for an interesting christmas carol.

You people. That's obvious not mini-Medic as her hair is blue, not brown.

Also, you guys obviously haven't played this game.

The math is good.
100% of 6660 is 6660
1000% = 66600
10000% = 666000

...stupid eco-NOM-y bringing me down.

(I bet nobody else can beat my remark.)

According to TF2 Wiki

Minigun fires 40 boolets per second.
So it fires 480 bullets per 12 seconds
It cost $400,000, so 400,000/480 = $833.33 per each boolet.

She seems legit.

@EMP: You are doing your math wrong, but I think Jo is too. :P 100% of 666 is still 666, and 1000% would be 6660. 6,660,000 would be more like 1,000,000% of base price.

1000% of 666 is 6660 (10x100%). Quite a few extra zeros.

did mini-medic just gain like 7 years older?

666 x 1,000 = 666,000. One too many zeroes? Am I doing math horribly wrong? Or am I not seeing a decimal?

Capitalism hoe

This comic is genius....I probably just spelled that wrong...

"My Sasha asked me to get this for her..."

@Nukey: That's great, mate.

First :B

Mini-medic is grown up.
