Everyone either knew, knows, or is that person who is amazing at some game or other and always insists others play it with them. For money.

And thats how you make money.
it’s also how you get killed
I mean eventually he’s going to get blown up
i tought hes going to take out a nade n blow the merch up
Why in the world would you anger a demolitionist?
Gratz on first
why would you congratulate someone just for commenting first its not a big deal
ikr
I think that when Maxx comes back he murders him with a second ‘ARGLEBLARGLEMURDER!’
Yeah, the last comic had me a bit agitated. Capitalism is the life blood of the United States, the EU, the UAE, Japan, and even China (though in the 2nd and last examples, are VERY tightly controlled, to an extent that to achieve profit, you must trick the Government Revenue Investigators). I wonder who our beloved author Jesse is more akin to, John Locke (doubtful), Che Guevara (meh, I doubt it), or Mao Tse Tung (Jesse has yet to kill millions because of differential ideologies). At least he’s trying to enterprise, which is ultimately a capitalist venture.
I hope Jesse gets plenty of revenue off of his book, I know I purchased it. Just hope that all of those reading know free enterprise breeds free thinking, which breeds free people, who are then free to make their own lives, or deaths. Burn brightly and live, or simply exist as a dying ember, never to make an impression but ashes.
My money says I’m ready to purchase his next book.
As does mine, the first has been a great read!
Blazed through it, and it was just getting really saucy when it ended. I’m enjoying the amount of growth we see in Kyle through the first book though. Even if he hax.
I want but I can’t get
D:
Congrats, Jesse! You’ve made a capitalism joke incisive enough to achieve the lauded accolade of people having to resort to just plain calling you a Communist in order to “rebut” your words! (“Communist” of course, having been redefined since the 90s to mean “anyone further left than myself who is winning an argument.”)
O-k, I realize that I was asking for this a little bit with the comic, but I’d rather keep things from getting too political. Suffice to say that, while I’m not anti-capitalist or anything, I do think that there are issues with the current system (as is inevitably the case with every system), and this is my lighthearted way of poking fun at it.
Considering as a joke about people buying overpriced things because of a Charismatic CEO’s style is returned with a suggestion that you are like Mao Tse Tung, but just haven’t killed millions of people YET, (because, you know, you’re totally planning on it, right?,) I doubt any such disclaimer will reach those people. With the clamor for reform in the US at the moment, some of the hyper-partisans scared of such reforms are touchy enough to shout down ANY joke as “Class Warfare”. It’s best to just ignore it – there’s going to be some tiny minority offended by almost anything.
Your mom is a tiny minority.
I never said Jesse was a communist. I merely stated a few names of two of the more violent communist/socialist radicals. John Locke was the author of “Common Sense”, a treatise in how a Republic should function, far from socialist or any left-leaning derivation.
I’m no fan of the market cornering tycoon, but free enterprise is good, and has helped many people change their own lives, and the lives of others, in a positive manner.
I support Jesse’s writing, and like I said, have purchased his book off of Amazon. Jesse is an enterprising individual, and we need more people like him. I was simply taking a few pokes on behalf of those that have benefited from capitalism, (Like anyone who has a mother and father that own a home and/or small business, or those that own property, intellectual rights, so on and so forth).
No comment I made was against Jesse as a person. His comic and book are wholesome, creative works.
By the way “Wraith_magus” I was not offended in any way by any comic, past or current. I’m anti-political correctness, so you can’t offend me unless you threaten the lives of my friends and family to my face.
Keep writing Jesse, can’t wait for Tower Series Book 2!
Yes, and I would never say that you are a psychotic cannibal, I’m just going to compare you to Jeffery Dahlmer, Hannibal Lecter, and to give myself some plausible deniability… umm.. Neil Armstrong. (And that’s just because there hasn’t been any evidence of your consuming human corpses that’s turned up YET.) See, I’m just randomly throwing out names of people for absolutely no reason while idly asking if you are like those criminals, and talking as though your next-to-last paragraph about violence to people might make you a violent criminal, no matter how illogical that connection might be.
Well, no more illogical than the notion that saying that considering corporations bribing public officials to MAYBE be a bad thing making one worth comparison to a bloody-handed dictator, anyway.
And, no, of course, it doesn’t heavily imply offense that I would start trying to compare you to heinous criminals just because you said something I didn’t agree with. I never get offended at anything! See, I just said so, and nothing is ever wrong on the Internet! It totally prevents all lying.
Oh, and to prove that I don’t have any political agenda, here, I’m going to talk about something completely irrelevant, like how much I like the color brown, and since your avatar has brown in it, that means I can’t possibly have meant all those things about you I am now denying I said.
…
Backpeddle harder.
I demand more plausible lies.
I don’t want this to go any farther, this is a webcomic, not a flame fest. You are taking things very seriously that were meant as light discussion initiators, not serious claims that Jesse will one day be a mass murderer, astronaut (thanks for that one), or the leader of a cult of personality.
An enterprising individual is only as successful as the product they publish or create. The fact that Jesse is an enterprising individual has been a constant in the comments I have left. If you don’t want to make money off of something, or at least get some satisfaction out of doing it, there is no point in doing it.
What are you creating, what drives you? Facilitating text walls is easy, I just did it. I know I’m looking forward to the next comic, and the next book, that Jesse makes.
The wall of text! It’s back!!!
SAVE YOURSELF FROM THE WALL OF TEXT!
Imagine the Wall of text vs the Wall of Text.
WHO WILL WIN
Laaaaaast.
Seriously.
P.S.
How do I make a old coin loom!?
Put it behind you, with a flashlight behind it.
Uhhh, really? That’s all it takes!? I’m on it.
::Edit:: It has yet to work =[
did you actually edit this comment? i cant see an edit button on my comment
Haha, no, I knew it wouldn’t work =[
A scam artist at work.
I really want this game.
I would buy it for $25…
You do know PC costs $10.
Wow
Such comic
Much Money
Dat cash. I thought the loom was falling apart at first.
Dat Cash!
“Sorry I’ve bought the government…” ITS TOO REAL!
Merchant = Cheater. ._.
I’d like an Aught 7!
Why didn’t the demolitionist just have his company make bombs?
Holy CRAP the demo could start WW3 with the merchants also all powerful company and blow him up and… amazing
OOOOOOH! Those are coins behind The Merchant! I thought it was a fire.
That would of been much better if it was a fire…
An essential freedom, maybe even the single most important freedom, is that of criticising the system in place and pointing out its flaws. If you cannot speak ill of capitalism, then capitalism is a tyranny. One shouldn’t be presumptuous as to think a system is flawless. Pretending that abuse, corruption, fraud, espionage, and sabotage do not exist will not lead anyone to a better life.
Also hahaha as capitalism being “tightly controlled” in the EU. Spoken like a true American!
Sic Semper Tyrannis my friend, Sic Semper Tyrannis!
why do the amount of blue chips grow then shrink then grow etc.?
Idk ._.
Because they are playing pieces that are being moved around the board during play.
I’d love to see Demo actually win.
Charismatic CEO letting you sell overpriced crap that does the same thing their old stuff does? Is that a Steve Jobs reference I see?
Ah, ah, just look at the comic disclaimer 😉
Uh, the disclaimer makes a Steve Jobs reference.
No, you need the “Shady Dealings” card for that.
Wut. Could have sworn I clicked reply. In case of questions, I meant to reply to the comment talking about blowing up the merchant.
Thanks a bunch guys, it’s great to hear that you’re all liking it! I appreciate all the feedback 🙂
Sorry, Terrariaprime 🙁 Why can’t you get it?
Thank me by writing the follow-up faster! =P I keed. Quality over speed please.
Jesse Itried to make the wall of text joke but nobody liked it could you delete them?
Not that it’s in this comic but is there a spell Cyril knows to get Hanna to fall in love with Him?
Considering how she acted when he was unconscious, and afterwards, I’d say he’s already cast that spell.
Here’s a new idea. I’d bet someone will try to make a game called oligopoly.
And another thing. Don’t all the NPCs have infinite money?
With all the dynamite he’s got, I can believe it.
True dat
I’d love to see the Demolitionist end up beating the Merchant by making an explosives factory, his victory cementing their friendship.
That would be funny especially if the demo bombs the merchant’s factory, lol
can we please get back to the story line??
I will really like if you keep the same story line for more than 2 comics…
You know, if the demolitionist really knew how to play the game, he would have blown up the merchant by now.
i wqnna see max fight the wall of flesh whiile farting
uhh
…
…

No comment…
i can’t wait till maxx has to summon the wall o’ flesh.
Every company wants the Drunk IT Professional Leaves Prototype At Bar card..
Its one thing to make “Wow so terraria such max” but to literally spam dogdogdoge over and over again? No.
Sorry I wanted to do the wall of text thing but you guys might not like me now I know how it is like to be bowl of two gold fish but hated a lot more
That’s a “boul.”
