Pretty sure that's exactly what it is. Protoman pretty much confirmed that Omega Energy is the only way to die in Videoland.

What is up with this Goodminton place? Who are these people? I thought Wanda was from Faq

Did I miss something?

Omega energy being death is too easy. I mean, everyone reading the comic's known that since forever. Me, I think it and alpha energy are different perspectives of truth.

But yeah, we're finally getting to FFVI. It's only been, what, ten years?

@Viridis: Nope, we were pretty much led to believe Wanda was from Faq, though I don't think there was ever any mention of her popping there. So I think we can safely assume Goodminton's going to get crushed.

I think Omega Energy is entropy. Its the potential to die. Videoland, a realm of ideas, doesn't have that because ideas are anti-entropic. They don't die, they just evolve and grow.

Alpha Energy is creative energy. The energy of ideas.

Well lets keep in mind that Death is traditionally associated with change, rebirth, etc.

I thought it had something to do with non-Videoland "reality" itself. Not sure what, but maybe something about real world rules seeping into and destroying videogame logic.

I dunno. I could be wrong. I've only just recently started reading Captain SNES. I can't really point out any solid evidence for this theory but... *shrug*

H'okay, Sinfest, let's go ahead and back away from dragging Calvin and Hobbes into your story arc. This never ends well.

You still read Sinfest, POS? I thought your New Year's resolution was to stop hurting yourself.

Damn, The Pocalypse is taking some heavy doses of plot thickener. I'm just glad that it's moving toward better writing and characterization than it had at the start.

The problem with trying to criticize Calvin and Hobbes is that you can only criticize Calvin and Hobbes by pretending Calvin and Hobbes hasn't already dealt with whatever aspect you're trying to criticize.

Like in this case, where feminism tricycle character's intervention is only meaningful if you ignore that Suzie owned Calvin like 99% of the time.
