Gotta be a MAME cab. Nothing else has that kind of crazy jack of all trades, master of none layoout. I’d say it’s a single-player panel, with a second stick for Robotron and Smash TV.

Why am I overanalyzing an arcade machine in a comic strip?
Caught up to KB now!
Might as well post a theory, though surely someone else thought of it before me:
35′s sword can disable cyborg limbs/prosthetics/what have you, so maybe a new weapon against Gear?
Because it is about time Blitz kicked her butt!
On a more-related-to-current-page note, Chandra is just adorable, especially in panel 1!
Given that we can now make the blind see, the deaf hear, and the crippled walk (for certain degrees of each), yes, or we are becoming a gestalt Messiah…
Nah, it’s definitely an embarassment flush. Combined with the stuttering, that kind of face is more of one of indignation and embarassment than one of anger.
And my parents thought I needed to learn expressions as a kid! I know ‘em fine, I just don’t like looking at real people’s faces to notice ‘em.
well i happen to be looking at the context of the sentence, and in the earlier panel Steffi was taunting her about the fact that she sounded so worried, and Chandra got indignant about it, possibly embarrassed about caught caring if someone was all right, being introduced as thief in her first comic, and a boy at that.
The ever-adorable Winston is what makes this page. You can safely rely on him to not give a single ****, and that just endears him so much to me for some reason.
@dolphindewott EEEKKK ITS U!!! c’mon it aint THAT bad!
lol. Winston just sits there. somehow always entertained. or just lazy. probably going with the lazy option.
I don’t normally ship, but when I do: I prefer “Kiwi Blitz”.
(No but seriously, I usually stay away from shipping! KB just has the most adorable mutual love-hate triangle going on with Blitz/Raccoon/Gear though!)
Of course it’s impossible to stutter or blush if you’re not desperately infatuated. People never do so when indignant or embarrassed. The Internet says so, they must be totally otp and whatnot. Even if one of them is only like 11 years old and it would be super-creepy.
I totally already said it was an embarassed/indignated expression, read above. It just makes it cute because ZOMG SHE TOTALLY HAS A CRUSH ON BLITZ SO SOOO CUTE FROM EMBARASSED AND STUFF.
Also, Steffi’s a kid too. (o3o)
Also, I’m still creepily defending this ship just like always since Raccoon first fought Blitz. (CREEPY PEDO SHOCKY IS CREEPY)
Since I’m not … uh … a member of the baby-shippers club, my attention was drawn to those arcade cabinets.
The one Blitz is playing is clearly some kind of rhythm game, of roughly modern manufacture based on the screen size and aspect ratio. Almost certainly Japanese, they’ve got roughly a zillion such games.
But what about the next one over? The blank name-plate and the insane button configuration suggests a multi-purpose cabinet. Possibly a MAME box (Although I get the impression her collection is mostly authentic hardware, a MAME box would stand out.)
However, what’s with those joysticks? They’re arcade sticks, but they’re huge! They’re bigger than most flight-stick style joysticks.
Does any real machine use that kind of hardware?
(And what about the next one over? It seems to stick out farther than the others. A Pinball machine? That’d be a real antique, but in the past we’ve seen that she’s got other 80s-era machines.)
Oh, I see, It’s the Scratch Fury machine we saw a few times earlier.
I thought that was on the other side of the room, giving her at least four machines.
Actually, I was wondering when she was going to tell Chandra. awwwww haha
Looks like Chandra is the only person in town who HASN’T figured out Blitz’s “secret identity”
Steffi is playing HandJive HandJive Revolution.
Oh man, that game. THAT GAME. It destroys me every time.
That made me laugh.
Awww yeahhh DJ Steffi in the house.. Bling bing beep
Her face is kawaii
…TVTropes will go wild with this page. But,hey,I see an interesting partnership in the future.
Those buttons on the arcade machine to Blitz’s right…….

…
Why am I overanalyzing an arcade machine in a comic strip?
‘Cause it’s fun?
… Yup still shipping it. Why you gotta make it so easy to ship?
It really is the best ship.
Chandra ♥ Blitz + Gear ♣ Blitz
d’awwwww! she really does care!
MAKE HER YOUNG.
MAKE HER A GIRL.
BLITZ X RACCOON FOREVER.
ALL MY AGREEMENTS. ALL OF THEM.
Caught up to KB now!

NO YURI!! XD
lol i want chandras clock!!
It seems to come complete with a phone jack hidden under it.
You know, my phone is also my alarm clock. Are we living in the future????
Given that we can now make the blind see, the deaf hear, and the crippled walk (for certain degrees of each), yes, or we are becoming a gestalt Messiah…
NO WAAAAAAY!! I WANT IT XD
Don’t be a homophobe. (>3<)/)
It really struck me as flushed with anger, personally. The face gets flushed when people get mad, too.
Nah, it’s definitely an embarassment flush. Combined with the stuttering, that kind of face is more of one of indignation and embarassment than one of anger.
And my parents thought I needed to learn expressions as a kid! I know ‘em fine, I just don’t like looking at real people’s faces to notice ‘em.
Nah, clenched fist, flushed face still makes me think anger.

That’s exactly what he wants you to think.
@dolphindewott EEEKKK ITS U!!! c’mon it aint THAT bad!

wait i just realized u can reply 2 people lol. lets try that again…
Ah, another reminder of why we love Kiwi Blitz, Steffi, and Chandra so much.
Oh Chandra, you is totes adorable!
Hehe FROGGER! Classic game, loved it as much as hated it.
I liked the SUBTEXT COMICS page way back when, but….. OMG THIS PAGE IS FANTASTIC.
Hmm….Can I still be a yuri fangirl if I identify as genderless now?
Yes.
One of those two girls have a bedtime issue
It’s the internet. It has shipping goggles. THE GOGGLES DO NOT COME OFF!
Chandra is still adorable.
THEY NEVER COME OFF.
I don’t normally ship, but when I do: I prefer “Kiwi Blitz”.
(No but seriously, I usually stay away from shipping! KB just has the most adorable mutual love-hate triangle going on with Blitz/Raccoon/Gear though!)
and here was li’l old me thinking they all hated each other, with the nearly murdering each other on several occasions and such.
Wait, you guys are still going to ship Blitz/Raccoon? …in hindsight I really should have seen this coming. -_-
I shipped Blitz/Raccoon before it was cool. *HIPSTER*

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

I think the next box over is her bed
Oh yea, I think you’re right. I saw the wrinkles, but I thought those were a design element on the side of a machine.
Oh, I see, It’s the Scratch Fury machine we saw a few times earlier.
