Transcript[]

Panel 1

{Gabe is holding a chocolate bar and Tycho is in a dramatic pose.}
Tycho: I am wracked with pleasure now that Thresh's Frontline has returned! My life was as one long, chill night!

Panel 2

{Tycho looks the other way, angrily}
Tycho: So he plays a good game of Quake. Hell, so he's the best there is - what does that have to do with any other topic? He's about as qualified to tell me about computer hardware as my cat!

Panel 3

{Zooms out. Tycho points at the cat as it scratches a computer case.}
Gabe: But how many cats are Microsoft Certified System Engineers?
Tycho: He's not an MCSE yet! He failed TCP/IP! He's not even bipedal!
