Just like Nick’s “not being an asshole” wasn’t a ploy, Cammy’s “being an asshole” wasn’t a ploy. That’s just what Cammy is. “Being agreeable” was the ploy.
I wouldn’t want to seriously hurt him, but the little bastard does need to get taken down a notch. He’s really let this whole “being in control” thing go to his head. A few seconds of soul-sucking would be just the thing to inspire some humility.
He’s drunk from Nick’s soul twice, and he’s still a dick. Nick’s a lover, not a fighter, but Cammy still just wants to drink souls. So drinking from Nick hasn’t changed him at all.
Baron’s expendable. He’s contributed exactly nothing. Mostly a negative influence. He’s got to have a ‘zen moment’ and behavior change like NOW in order to justify taking up space any longer.
Maybe he DOES swallow Cammy, Cammy barfs, thus mixing essence of Nick into his system….and temporarily Baron DOES change.
I think someone’s already done “Tama-gotcha!”, so I’ll just point out that Nick has been psych’ed and sucked. Indeed, psych-sucked. Sucker-sucked. Sucker-psyched?
It’s your PHONE, folks. If you can’t overcome THIS punk little obstacle, you sure won’t get into REALITY’S many wonders. Walking and staring at it? Hypnotic phenomenon…/tiny visual target. Stop your eye movement, stop your brain thinking….Dummies.
I wonder, can Cammy communicate wirelessly with another Tamagotchi (or something doing a good impression of one)? I don’t know if you can tell by looking.
If it can, could it be fed that way, or turned into an egg?
Gullibility, thy name is Nick.
Yeah, someone as genre-savvy as Nick should have seen that coming a mile away.
Cammy uses the “being an asshole” ploy! It’s super effective!

Depends on whether or not Cammy is _capable_ of making non-asshole choices if it benefits them.
Attack Mode #3: Nick pulls out a ball peen hammer and smashes that “Pocket Pet from Hell” flat!
I still say he should go with the “field goal” approach. Give Cammy a good solid kick, and see if he can impale him on Baron’s horn.
Or score by kick it so it goes down the Baron’s throat. But then again I don’t want to hurt the Baron,I like the little spud!

But if Cammy’s alignment reflects that of the person he most recently drank the soul of then do we necessarily want that? o_O

And think of the hilarious animation sequence of the Baron walking away and every 5 seconds he hiccups, activates Cammy, gets zapped. Classic Wile E.
It’s not an attack, it’s a repair, and thus works with Nick’s pacifism.
Awgiedawgie & Bruce,I agree with both of you 100%!
A glitch I am lest a glitch I become.
Ok, so I just finished this. How do I read the non-director’s cut version of Narbonic?
In the top right there’s a little box that says “Commentary: On”. It doesn’t look clickable but it is, and clicking it turns the commentary off.

*MY* vote for best sound effect in a Shaenon comic!
It’s PINK, Nick. And cute. Hasn’t your gaming taught you to never, ever automatically trust cute pink things? Tsk.
To be fair, this wasn’t automatic trust, there was talking beforehand =P
Nick is close to remembering that this is a death match, and killing is an option.
More to the point, he needs to remember that dying is a possibility.
One more strike and Nick is OUT!

How did Nick expect to shake hands with something lacking hands?

Well, you’re not a pocket pet, Nick, so don’t go drawing any conclusions.
