It doesn't make much sense to me

Besides that, you have Miho acting manipulative and Largo acting retarded~~ Same ol' stuff
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

It also started ages ago, for those non-avid readers, this story was first seen around the start of autumn last year.

GTC is a silly, alt-universe timeline involving the stolen MT server. Comics 398, 400, 516-8 and 520 are the current GTC ones.

It should be based properly on GTA: VC that way it'd be more fun.

Tommy Vercetti telling Piro to grow the fuck up is a promising scene.

Actually to be honest, while there isn't anything technically wrong with the GTC storyline, I just personally don't find it very interesting at all. It doesn't have anything to do with the primary storyline, and it's frankly somewhat dull.

I had the same problem with all the End Game stuff in some of the earlier chapters, except that I thought those were overly dramatic. And I just didn't really care.

GTC isn't too bad, but it's just not as interesting as regular megatokyo. the spin on all the standard MT characters just seems. . . .weird somehow.

It's only like the Treehouse of Horror specials in the Simpsons. Not part of the proper timeline canon but fun nontheless.

The End Game, iirc, was to explain the relationship between Piro, Largo, and Miho.

Althought I'm still wondering if Miho's a ghost, vampire, other Undead, or just Really Damn Creepy.

That doesn't excuse the fact that they were boring and just a slight over the top in their drama. :P

***Miho Spoilers***









Miho was a hacker in End Games. She would take control of other peoples characters and do shit to em. Piro managed to stop her. You know what one End Game strip where some guy is holding Piroko's face in his hands and in the next strip Piroko slices his face with a knife? That guy was Miho's character.

That's not really a spoiler, seeing as it was part of the main storyline. :P

Most likely Miho's anemic. That's usually what it is in anime and manga.

Yeah... but what's with the no Eating, and how she says she's 'full' after causing strong emotional reactions in the people around her?
