Dear False Positive Readers,
This is Ashley Walton, Mike’s sister and editor of False Positive. I have really terrible, awful news and a tiny bit of good news.
You might have noticed it’s been a couple years since we’ve posted anything on this website. Well, brace yourself for the saddest update I’ll ever share.
Because high technology and non lethal weapons mean nothing against a bronze spear and the human’s fear of the unknown.
I have a feeling that this isn’t this guy’s first rodeo.
alien night clubbing, the morning after. “aw frak he broke my iJolt!”
Poor guy’s probably puking at the sight of the horrible, disgusting creature in front of him.
Holy flying macaroni, that guy turned out to be quite the badass.
Also, I noticed a lot of things sizzle, steam and/or give off smoke in this setting. I’m betting it’s relevant.
Woo, our man’s a bit of a hard nut. I’m betting the ‘precious gems’ are part of the alien. Any takers?
I’ll take that bet.
Oooooo, I LIKE IT!
like a boss.
Would you like some extra-terrestrial with your ham?
Went out of their way to develop non-lethal defense technology and this is where it gets ’em. Either that, or horribly, horribly ineffectual on other species…. es.
Or…the human is not a human, per se. There are plenty of classical deities, demigods, supernatural entities, and outrageously tough warrior-types in classical Greek mythology who went into “exile” at some point in their particular stories. If your ol’ Dad is the one who throws thunderbolts, are you going to be bothered by a a glorified taser?
the spartan destroyed zeus’ lightning bolt.
Crow: Look, there are magic blue runes on that spear!
Joel: I think that’s alien blood.
Crow: Um . . . so we’ve got an alien that bleeds runes.
Servo: Holy crap, we’re being invaded by monsters from another planet and their weapons are useless against us!
I know you will probably never see this (as your comment is from 2012), but I love these. ^_^
everything *is* going blek for him indeed
I think the guy is just a run of the mill primitive human. It just so happened our ancestors were badasses as a matter of course. They had to be, because all the non-badasses died young.
Your science is no match for his beard!
This is a neat new twist on an explorer visiting a strange new world, only to be attacked by a ferocious, unkillable alien.
blek = dont piss on me too !
I don’t know why, but the alien puking combined with the stylized “BLEK!” made me laugh. Because I am a cruel, heartless human who has no real empathy for this poor, sick, stranded alien. :p
