Robert
Kimberly
Panic
Gift
Christmas

Original Commentary

This is the first time Robert's last name has been mentioned, so his full name is Robert Robertson. Yes, you definitely have permission to laugh (I know I didn't wait for it XD).

Yes, Robert came over all the way from the other company office building... I'm sure the exercise would have done him good if he wasn't wheezing from nervousness. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
That "no fraternizing with coworkers in different departments" was one of Ms Taylor's ideas. She gets ideas like that when she's angry.

Just a little background thing, give you an idea of what she can be like - Terrence

Robert
Kimberly

Original Commentary

Robert really needs to learn how not to put his foot in his mouth so much. It's not that he's afraid of all women, like he was before, but rather, he's afraid of Kimberly and how much she looks like her mom... something which Kimberly should really try to use to her advantage more often. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
I wish we saw a bit more of Kimberly's expression in that last panel. I think there was a bit more that got cut off by the borders.

But you know what kind of look she's giving him - Terrence

Original Commentary

So, does Final Battle Adventure Online have any kind of pay-for-stuff program? They don't have a monthly subscription. There may be some way for players to buy accessories with real money, but you have to be logged on as that person. You can't buy giftcards in stores. Kimberly would probably just go on eBay and buy something there, which would be supporting gold farmers, and hackers, and such. Robert, of course, has strong opinions about this. This is one of the few things that he has strong opinions about - Terrence

Modern Commentary
Back in the day, if you wanted to buy something in an MMORPG, you'd have to go to eBay (or somewhere sketchier) and you'd probably get something that a hacker stole from another player's account.

Nowadays, every game has microtransactions and if you want to spend fifty bucks on in-game items, you can buy direct from the game publisher.

Funny how things have changed - Terrence
