I found this hilarious.
I do love me some Dragon Quest. I recently beat IV too and I definitely loved Ragnar's chapter. His whole (unexplained) subplot with Healie was also very cute.
I started with Dragon Quest VIII, and then tried some of the earlier versions, Dragon Quest V being my favorite. I also tried DWM Joker. It was fun but it was on an emulator and was very laggy at times and took some enjoyment out of the game. Although I do have a new PC now so I could probably give it another go and not deal with the 10 FPS anymore.

But anyway, I raged every time I got into a fight with a metal slime. Especially when they let you get them down to like one hit left, and then they run. It really infuriates me - it's almost like they're teasing you.
I thought this was about Dairy Queen

That's because you guys aren't awesome DQ fans like me and LA.

Liez, I personally love Dairy Queen.
Sadly enough, I also thought this was about Dairy Queen. Being an employee, I was sort of scared. Then I opened it up and was relieved when it wasn't a dilly bar being convicted for murder.

I am disappoint in all of you.
As a British person, I dunno what Dairy Queen is. Sounds like a Disney film about cattle and cheese.

They sell ice cream and hamburgers. They're famous for their "Blizzards" which are fancy ice cream shakes. Wish there was a DQ where I lived :(!
I never was an ice cream guy. I have sensitive teeth and the cold temperature always irritates the crap out of my teeth when I try to eat it. I probably had DQ ice cream once or twice even though there was one within walking distance of my house.

Cupcakes is where it's at.

Goes towards the, "We choose and take turns who we'll attack and wait for the enemys to be ready" sort of thing.
Wrong.

Anyone who plays Dragon Quest has probably experienced trying to kill a metal slime, only to have it flee the battle before you can actually do so. This is rage-inducing since metal slimes give you a very large amount of experience. In every battle, they take very little damage, and will either flee the battle as soon as it starts or, if they really feel like pissing you off, flee when they have 1 HP left.

In the comic, Ragnar says "I'll take that one" - referring to the metal slime that apparently flees the battle as he's finishing his sentence. If you don't see the metal slime, it's the gray oval looking thing under his mustache.

This video pretty much sums it up ( start it at 2:10, everything before that is just him cycling through his inventory for whatever reason ):



It's hilarious to watch, horrific to actually experience. It's basically the Dragon Quest equivalent of the Creeper "That'sssssss a nice house you got there" joke.
