Now. We all know that there are enemies in games that are not absolutely REQUIRED to kill. We kill them anyway. But... What happens to their families when they receive the news?

I watched that around five times (is "watched" the right word for a MUSICAL WEBCOMIC?), and it gets sadder every time. The latest time, I was crying HARD. As if a friend just died.

I Don't know about you, but I'm taking measures to AVOID meaninglessly killing things from now on.

Here's the youtube version.

That is awesome as hell.

[Cthulhu]

I feel no remorse.  If their lives were so important they shouldn't have gotten in my way or had things I wanted.  It's not hard.

[Realmfighter]

They are pixels and data that have been placed in front of me to kill.

Why should i feel sad?

Look, we are here because we play Dwarf Fortress. If we don't even care about the fate of our own minions, why would we care about those of anyone else?

I saw this like months and months ago man, it's still good though.

Kinda reminds me of a spot near the end of Max Payne where before you walk out of the elevator, you hear a couple of minions talking and one of them talks about how they're just paying the bills and keeping the family funded and such, and that he's got a family to return to or something like that. Of course, walk in and have the guy notice you, and all of a sudden hear "KILL HIM!" or any of the other stock phrases uttered.

Look, I know you gotta pay the bills and keep your family under a roof and fed, but c'mon, you NEVER sign up to be a minion. A minion under any other name still spells R-E-D-S-H-I-R-T. You know, how R-O-L-A-I-D-S always somehow spells relief.

EDIT:
All things considered, at least in the Sonic games, your buddies are captured and forced to be mechanical minions. You're just breaking them out of those prisons.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

True, but being a minion is like playing the lottery with your life if the Big Bad doesn't have an established Dragon, as one of them will at some point end up surviving the Hero's rampage and taking up the role. Of course, the rest will die.

I remember that, I think his dad was in the hospital or something.  I shot him just the same.

Actually, I just lobbed a molotov at him.

[Realmfighter]

I ran up and hit him with a bat.

This, so utterly this.

[FuzzyZergling]

I am a tool of the Eternal Swarm, and as such have no concept of remorse, nor mercy.
Still like the song, though.
