Uhh... I hate to spoil your fun, but they're in fact in the parallel universe called 'Xen', from the FPS masterpiece Half Life.

Come on, you didn't see that coming? I've never even PLAYED half life, but wasn't the footnote saying "screenshot from halflife" enough foreshadowing? Plus the recent review of a halflife scenario?If either of you are brits who make "Americans are stupid" jokes, someone's getting a good kicking.------------------

Yes, YZ and the gang are in Half-Life. In an upcoming strip Paul delivers some technobabble to explain how they got there. See, in an FPS, you can't turn your head alone, only your whole body. And many characters in FPSs are extraordinarily good at carrying huge quantities of weapons with apparently no bother, hence the Archibald-in-the-jacket-pocket thing.

They should have done a better job with blue shift, it was way to short. Half life is realy realy realy good!!!
Op Force was decent and you got cool new weapons such as the teleporter gun and the sybiote weapons but in blue shift you got less weapons, less difficulty and a much shorter game. I finished all 3 and now im bored.

The technobabble strip was nice, but the technobabble itself was, of course, utter bull excretion.
The universe already existed, so when someone made a game that had a similar universe in it, they both magically connected?
What does 'pocket universe' even mean?

It's like a small universe latched on to a larger one. In this case, a Half-Life universe latched onto our universe.

In other news, I named my fencing foil Archibald in reference to Yahtzee.I was in four bouts after the naming bit, and I won 3-0 twice, 3-1 once, and the fourth time was disqualified for too many Monty Python references.And yea, there was much rejoicing.------------------

Well, I right about them being in a computer game, anyway. I didn't see that "background taken from half-life" thingy when I first read the comic.Still... I think them visiting the world of a 2d game would be cool. I keep waiting for them to go to Reality On the Norm to visit Davy Jones. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">
