What would a ship be without a few holes, after all?

Do you like Portal? I like Portal. It’s the best, what with all the lying cakes and science being done. There’s this TOTALLY FREE Portal mod called Portal Stories: Mel. I’m playing through it and it’s about as authentic a Portal experience as you can have outside of an official continuation of the series (which we’ll never get because Valve only sells other people’s games now).

Over the past week or so, Joe and I have been inundated with a smorgasbord of great are from reader Crowlitch (@crowlitch on twitter), and I’m FEELING THE KEN/CHO PASSION! I’m also quite enamored with Yori’s animated L’oreal hair toss. You can find more NN4B art (some of which is rather incomprehensible without context), as well as Crowlitch’s other great art on Tumblr and Twitter. Joe and I are currently working on projects for Matsuricon 2015, which is coming up on August 14th, but Joe has intentions of resurrecting our defunct Fan Art section in the future (sorry, Joe, I announced it pubilcally so now you can’t back out!).

  1. So many great fanarts!

    And great page!!

    Hey, Rrrrricardo knows it’s all good. After all, sometimes you gotta hole up your finances.

    Also, Yori is now faaaaaabulous!

  3. Flaming Squirrel says:

    See kids, honesty is ALWAYS the best policy!
    As for the art…
    Maybe it’s natural… Maybe it’s Yor’eal.

    … that was the wrong commercial, wasn’t it?

  4. dowdprode says:

    I have to admit, im not a huge fan of what they are doing. While it may be helpful for the MCs, they are kinda just screwing over a legitimate merchant who is just doing his job, not to mention stranding him,

    • Did you ever see Lord of War? I feel like Ricardo reminds me a bit of Cage’s character in that movie. It’s a bit morally ambiguous to muck up alegitimate war merchant’s trade deals, but it could potentially save a lot of lives!

      • leavescat says:

        It’s also morally ambiguous to kill Ricardo for accidentally being in their way, but that’s already on the table as plan B. I’m pretty sure Genchu isn’t shooting for the LG award.

        • Genchu’s always in the Wrath of Khan mindset of ‘The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few’. It’s one of his favorite movies, he cries when Spock dies EVERY TIME.

          • I’m guessing he missed Transformers: Dark of the Moon (or whatever it was called), when Nimoy re-used that line to… different effect. (Only part of that movie I really enjoyed… though it was still better than the second one)

        • Kid Chaos says:

          He couldn’t just blow up the ship (all that lovely gunpowder is sooooooo tempting…), because that would be too easy wrong!

          • leavescat says:

            They already said; it’d work, but they’d rather destroy the gunpowder in a way that doesn’t explode them in the process.

          • purplelibraryguy says:

            Plus it’d be too good a demonstration of the product. No need to encourage the next gunpowder merchant by stimulating interest.

    • Da'Zlein says:

      He’ll probably wake up when the water reaches the top of the crate he’s lying on, too late to stop the flooding or save the cargo, but plenty of time to get out before the ship sinks…

    • purplelibraryguy says:

      If you’re a legitimate merchant planning to sell goods which will cause one side to win, and another to lose, a war, you’d better have it in your legitimate mercantile calculations that the other side doesn’t want to lose. If you decide to be a player in war, you’re not just a “legitimate merchant”, you’re also a “legitimate target”–just as much as all the “legitmate targets” you were planning to have mowed down by the weapons you sell.

      (all that leaving aside the whole “destabilizing the country’s entire power structure” thing)

  5. Mike says:

    That second fan art of Ken remind anyone else of Mugen from Samurai Champloo?

  6. Da'Zlein says:

    Of course, without holes you can’t get water into the ship, and if you don’t have water, how will you put out fires? And you REALLY don’t want a fire to spread when your ship is full of gunpowder… It’s in everyone’s best interest, really…

  7. Sunwu says:

    Looks like I need to step up my Fan Art!!! Good work Crowlitch!

    Plot Twist: Rrrrrrrrrrrricado heard it as “hoes”.

  10. ColdFusion says:

    Great simpsons ref. Cool gifs. I’m glad I still read this comic
    and yeah I miss when valve made games. I always wanted to voice for them, now I actually live here and they’re done.

  11. Mike says:

    *Hands Genchu a pair of lose lips* I heard these work wonders.

  12. Speedy Marsh says:

    First panel: They’re really raining on Ricardo’s padre.

  13. Speedy Marsh says:

    I do not envy you the headache you will have when you awake. But for now, rest well and dream of large weapons.

  14. Neska says:

    Bloody Ken, Loose-hair Cho . . . definitely some nice fan arts . . .

  15. SotiCoto says:

    One day Cho will take off his hat… to reveal… another hat underneath.

  16. 627235 says:

    Gotta have holes. The barrel bore, for example, or the touch hole. Why, you simply cannot sell guns without some holes.
