Have been reading through Kid Radd. It's okay. I'm up to the Earthbound Spoof. Fairly generic anime-influenced comic, though the writing is decent enough, if... typical.

Handpainted weekly comic depicting the mostly noncontinuous adventures of an omnipotent nine-year-old (or thereabouts) girl. Recently, there have also been zombies.

I'm somewhat hesitant to hype this. It's strange, even by my (admittedly lax) standards. It's an ongoing story, rather than a webcomic. There is some good writing and character development, but you have to suffer through the unpleasant lesbian sex of the first book before you get to it. And yes, I did just say "unpleasant" in front of "lesbian sex".

NSFW, by the way.

Off to bed in a few, so not bothering to read the other posts right now. Favs of mine are www.xkcd.com and www.explosm.net (Cyanide and Happiness). Dunno if they've been mentioned already, but if they have, they deserve another mention!

BTW, xkcd can be reallllllly nerdy at times, and C&H, just read a few. You'll then know if its for you or not.

Since even the people I thought would aren't reading it, I have to recommend Anime News Nina on ANN. Funny in awesome ways. The artist really does some ridicuously hilarious things with facial expressions. It's all anime based though.

Link to the latest.

This is the one I mean specifically dealing with funny facial expressions

Some fairly amusing stuff to come by, since everyone else already mentioned the ones I've been checkin' out on a regular basis.

I think I already linked to this in this very topic. Star Wars Episode 1 screen shots put together as a comic to parody the movie and PnP RPG tropes.

They just finished the pod race scene and managed to make it awesome.

This was interesting, linked to on Lore's blog thing. It was mmmm pretty good. I don't think it will be something I favourite, but what is out so far was worth reading.

Explicit sex acknowledge to exist and while displayed it is as narrative rather than pornographic. I dunno, it is good in the same way that Tom Waits or some songs like How to Save a Life by the Fray are I guess.

I have to hype this week's Anime News Nina. I've hyped this comic in the topic before, but no one seems to listen to me. So... go on not listening, I guess?

...was I supposed to tell you that I've read it? Read all the comics up till now, pretty good fun for someone like me who was an impressionable child when Toonami first started showing anime, and grew up learning about it.

Ryogo's post in the WGAYP topic reminded me of this one. Bumping it for Erfworld hype and gems like this:

Yeah, its an awesome one. Along with Order of the Stick, which is on the same site

Others I'm now reading:
8-Bit Theatre - Adventures of a party of 4 becoming the Light Warriors a la FF1 to save the world. Except everything they do is a screw-up/evil.
NerfNow - Webcomic focusing mostly on TF2, though from time to time the author does other story arcs (StarCraft, Left 4 Dead, and MegaMan are the ones I can think of off the top of my head). Very little dialog in strips, and is less than a year old. But its very well done and hilarious if you like TF2. Read the comments/photo comments too. Some of them are hilarious.

Yoshiken · « **Reply #38 on:** February 22, 2009, 10:58:50 PM »

I'm gonna mention xkcd again, just because of it's sheer awesomeness.

Also, quite surprised nobody's mentioned this one - http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php
Bit of a storyline going back from it, with the occasional random comic - usually games-related - and overall, utterly awesome. Kept me laughing for a good few days as I read through all the old comics. ^_^

Ryogo · « **Reply #39 on:** March 26, 2009, 02:03:27 AM »

Here's a webcomic I read years ago and then forgot about.

www.sinfest.net

Awesome webcomic. Reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes somewhat, except much more adult themed.

Bardiche · « **Reply #40 on:** March 27, 2009, 09:26:27 AM »

http://questionablecontent.net/ - Not really gaming related but more something like indie music or something. Sometimes the references thereto go way over my head, but it can be amusing, dramatic and fun at times.

superaielman · « **Reply #41 on:** April 15, 2009, 10:07:56 PM »

Caught up 8bit a week or two ago. It's still the same thing it was 8 years ago. This isn't a bad thing, it's still funny and doesn't try to be something it isn't material wise. He's finally in the Temple of Fiends, took long enough.

Ctrl+Alt+Del- As I understand it, it's become popular to bag on CAD in some circles. There's a very good reason for this. An abortion/miscarriage storyline in a gaming webcomic? Really?

Oh yeah, he's also hilariously wrong about the medical stuff in the storyline to boot, which is just sad.

Grefter · « **Reply #42 on:** April 15, 2009, 10:58:41 PM »

This just in, CAD is shit and the only reason to laugh is because it is trainwreck that is double plus sweet because the author is a douche.

It isn't "become popular to bag" something if what is there is shit. That is just people making fun of things that suck.

AAA · « **Reply #43 on:** April 16, 2009, 01:27:21 AM »

I don't think the problem is that people start hating CAD, it's that people stop being 13 years old.

ps Tim Buckley's internet antics have something to do with it as well

superaielman · « **Reply #44 on:** April 16, 2009, 01:42:53 AM »

No idea about Buckley personally. What's the story there?

And yeah, I've enjoyed reading CAD from time to time but the author takes himself way too seriously.

AAA · « **Reply #45 on:** April 16, 2009, 02:22:28 AM »

Back in the day he used to frequent a website that involved a bunch of underage camwhores. He took a picture of himself with the name of one of them (Jackie) on his malformed penis and sent it to her. She was 14-15 at the time.

Eventually this got back to his forum, specifically one where rules were more relaxed. The picture was found and posted in a topic. When Buckley found out, he not only banned the person who posted the pic, but everyone who posted in the topic, period, even the ones who were defending him. When people complained about it he banned them. When moderators asked him to tone it down he banned them. Eventually one of the admins of the forum got pissed enough to start constantly unbanning people that he banned and the whole forum was in turmoil. His reponse was to completely close down the entire forum, ban everyone, then completely delete the forum the picture existed in and pretend that nothing happened.

If you want to join the CAD forums your screename and information is reviewed by two administrators before you can post. Any mention of what went on results in an instant ban.

Quote from: PVP guy

This is so great.
A fan sent me a condolences gift yesterday to try to lift me up. Boy did it ever. Apparantly there is a site called Wikiscanner, where you can look up someone's IP address, enter it into the site and it will show you every Wiki entry and edit they have ever made.
This fan had an email from Tim Buckley and used his IP address to wiki-search him.
http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/list_edits.php?ip1=68.60.213.27&ip2=&ip3=&ip4=#
My favorite: Tim deleted the enitre wiki entry for PvP and replaced it with "pvp sucks."
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=32072999
If you look, you'll see that at various points, Tim vandalized his own page anonymously, then posed as CAD fans admonishing the vandalism. This was like Christmas, and my birthday all rolled into one email.
Dear fan who wished to remain anonymous. One thing Mike Wieringo LOVED to do with me was gossip like a fucking bored housewife. He would have FUCKING LOVED THIS SHIT!
Thank you for this. It made a difficult day better.

There's more if that's not enough for you.

Grefter · « **Reply #46 on:** April 16, 2009, 08:06:57 AM »

How about this one for his personality Super. He is the kind of guy THAT MAKES A MISCARRIAGE PLOT SEQUENCE IN A VIDEO GAME COMIC.

Bardiche · « **Reply #47 on:** April 16, 2009, 12:42:22 PM »

Only thing that bothered me about the miscarriage sequence is the entire "lolneverhappened" way the characters act right now.

also nidz moar vidya gaymz, less stupid store and underage humour.

"lol boobies"? Seriously?

Cotigo · « **Reply #48 on:** April 28, 2009, 04:32:08 PM »

I'm really enjoying the comic Subnormality. It's a text heavy most of the time, and veers into the pretentious and artsy, but not often and well I'm a pretentious and artsy kind of guy. Also, hey, most comics are funny to people outside that demographic! Or not funny, because of the text. Or... oh hell you know what I mean. Better than CAD.
