The Fundamental Theorem of War

TimAnother tough one to get out the door as I’m traveling today to see Ray in Oregon! We had to do a little planning ahead this week, which can be tough. I did have to brush up on my Calculus a bit to fit a math joke in here (bonus points for getting it!). I was a math major in college but I can’t say I remember much of it now. It’s kind of sad that after studying something for four years, it’s basically gone, but I guess if it doesn’t get applied, that’s what happens!

RayAh, good old math humor. I don’t get it.

    Wow, went up early this week. Nice! GCG.

    Personally, never got into the twin stick shooters. I can tolerate SSHD and that’s as far as I get… tolerating. Frankly, I think they NEED to bring back Super Smash TV complete with cheesy host. Then it might be the SECOND twin stick shooter I could tolerate.

    I like the outlines on you two. I’d say it’s a characteristic of your comic. I also love the return of the oddly shaped TV! :D Sweet logo too.

    Also worth noting: Attempting to view the comic from your Google Reader in an iPod Touch is not a good idea.

    Honestly, I didn’t get the punchline, but the second panel made me laugh so it didn’t really matter.

    I was never around when you guys talked about the inspiration for the TV, but you guys said it was inspired by a DC Talk album (or am I totally losing it?), and I never got a chance to say that that’s freaking awesome! I’m not a huge DC Talk fan (sister is), but I actually know who they are so yay.

    Also, nice touch adding the wavebird controllers on the Wii.

    Great Comic, I love the oh so obvious Geometry Wars knock-off. :P

    And if I understood anything that comic was trying to tell me, I’d be impressed with myself.

    So, uh, pretty colors. :P

    Well, I’ve been reading 2P START! for quite a while now, but I’ve never attempted a comment. Well, starting now, I’m going to change that, for two reasons.

    1) I went back and listened to the whole archive of podcasts. At first, I thought it would be like “Blah Blah, then I clicked here.” I never should have doubted you. Your podcast was quite possibly the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. My favorite was the “Sonic and the black doom edition.” I had to pause several times just to breathe between bouts of laughing! Never have I seen two people’s personalities work together so well.

    2) This comic is simply wonderful. It really captures the flavor of Geometry Wars, and the visuals are spot-on, right down to the warped grid.

    Seriously, you guys deserve this cake. GLaDOS is baked it!

    Wow, all of them? When I first came on I just went back to maybe Podcast 20 or something because I figured that any topic mentioned would be a bit outdated…maybe I should watch them…apparently I’m not as…hmmm…what term do I want to use….loyal? Obsessive? Dunno, either way I didn’t listen to all the podcasts. Maybe I will some day…

    You’re too kind! Thanks for rising from your grave and commenting, it means everything. One of these days I think I’m going to tell Tim to give up on writing scripts and we’ll just starting being podcast-exclusive……

    I was never around when you guys talked about the inspiration for the TV, but you guys said it was inspired by a DC Talk album (or am I totally losing it?)

    No, you’re right. It’s based off of the television on the cover of their “Supernatural” album. That album still holds up really well too….

    Wait, I was under the impression that you just kinda stumbled across it and thought it was a good idea…so you actually own the CD? That’s even awesomer! I sound really stupid right now, but I don’t care. Usually people talk about music and I have NO idea what they’re talking about. I actually do for once.

    And don’t you think just a podcast is going to create some problems? Such as not having comic talk…or are you just going to fill it’s spot with the chicken grab? If you do…next time make it Cucco grab, this IS a gaming webcomic after all!

    Whoa! When did this comic show up? Anyway, nice comic guys. Unfortunately, I didn’t really get the math joke. Probably because I haven’t even taken Calculus yet.

    EDIT: I just noticed what all of the stuff in the first panel was! I wouldn’t have even thought of it, until I read Black’s comment.

    For a moment there I thought I was reading XKCD… but with much better art. (Note: this is the highest praise that can be offered to any web comic)

    Incidentally, I think that while a firm grasp of calculus is not integral to the understanding of this strip, it does tend to help. Otherwise you might end up thinking it’s just a little derivative.

    Oh, and Tim, if you were a math major, what does this simplify down to?

    (N^2/N)*(C^2/C)*(G^2/G)

    Yes it’s trivial but it’s almost midnight here in Paris and I’m tired ;-)

    An imaginary number? Now I haven’t taken calculus, but I know what that is. How would they represent that in the comic without making it look totally out of place?

    Ah okay, I was not aware there was a symbol for it. I thought they were going to have to put the square root of -5 or something…

    Naah, It’s very funny, but no formula won’t ever top the classics:

    Popular video game charactor+Recent pop culture reference+Sex/Drugs= Winner!

    Too bad I never took Calculus… I mostly took Algebra (Pre+1+2), Geometry and Trig…(witch I passed with a B+)

    Weird, I was just reviewing the wikipedia page, and of course there were links to the winning comics in the Joystiq wrap up, so I just saw those comics…

    I feel the need to correct that it would actually be sqrt(5)*i, because you still take the square root of 5. For an easier example, the square root of -4 is 2i.

    …Yes I am a nerd.

    I just found it on the internet. I think it’s his picture from the Smash Bros Dojo. It had a pink background.

    btw, did anyone notice that in the first panel, the grid is warping slightly? and i agree with you, meta, that panel should be a wallpaper

    The grid does that in Geometry Wars, when there’s an explosion.

    Nice comic, as usual, though I can’t say I fully understood it. Then again, I read xkcd and don’t get a lot of jokes there either… I suppose I should learn more about Calculus.

    I just about to ask you about that. I thought that it changes your name for every post you made? I guess I was mistaken.
