The fantastic screencap really is fantastic. I wonder if that was practiced 
The 4koma was really funny too Partly because majority of them are actually very true.
...My fault for making people addicted??

And now for more technical ramblings
Grim, you mentioned earlier that you planned to getting the Diablos Chaos B0rker hammer, right? I've been experimenting with hammers for a while, even getting Rick to help with some calculations. This is because that hammer is a pain in the ass to get and I'm getting lazier.
Basically, we found out that given reckless abandon +3, onslaught (blue, 1092 atk + 35% affinity) is still weaker than the diablos chaos broker (blue, 1196 atk + 20% affinity) as expected.
3(1092 x 1.25) + 7 (1092) = 11739 (onslaught after 10 hits)
2(1196 x 1.25) + 8 (1196) = 12558 (DCB after 10)
But then I decided to take another look at my hammer list again, and I found a hammer called "ancient blow" (green, 1248 atk + "-20%" affinity) without any added skills. It just so happened that I have an armor set with reckless abandon +2 and sharpness +1, which makes the equipped weapon sharpness multiplier go up by one.
So with RA +2 and Sharpness +1, ancient blow becomes (blue, 1248 atk + 0% affinity)
10 (1248) = 12480 (ancient blow after 10)
Raw Sharpness Multipliers:
White: 1.30
Blue: 1.25
Green: 1.125
Yellow: 1.0
Orange: 0.75
Red: 0.50
I ignored the onslaught and DCB moving up to white sharpness because the bonus was only .05 (though it normatively should still count).
In conclusion, the ancient blow, which is much easier to get than the DCB, provides itself as a suitable alternative to the DCB at HR6 because it is capable of reaching blue sharpness and neutral affinity.
^ The computations were more for myself but I might as well share it. It helped a lot since now I'll go get a thunderlance instead of a DCB.
