Also: oh, Erfworld. Vinnie, Don, and the rest: you absolute morons. You are literally making an enemy out of a could-be ally on the day before they are released from your care.
Sigh. "That awkward moment when Stan is the smartest person on the comic..."
EDIT: Naturally. Now: Re-dressed!

I am so behind on Erfworld it's not even funny.
Granted that's far from the only comic I'm way behind on. Unsounded, Paranatural, and Gunnerkrigg Court jump immediately to mind. I think the only ones I'm keeping up on these days properly are OOTS (and then only due to the updates on the thread discussing it here), Wilde Life (because Scint keeps telling me when it updates), and Widdershins (same as Wilde Life).

I have heard of exactly none of those.
I'm that far behind on comics. :-)
They put them on the web now.

I could've sworn I've seen you post in the OOTS thread =P
Quick summary of the rest:
> Erfworld: Genre-savvy uber-nerd gets sucked into fantasy world he created.
> Unsounded: Thief princess and her undead mage bodyguard have adventures. VERY brutal, VERY dark, VERY gory and surreal on occasion. STRONG warnings for people who have problems with violence, especially towards children, and rape; this comic HEAVILY features criminals doing criminal things - starting at banditry and working its way up quickly - and does NOT shy from the darkest, most sinister aspects of those occupations.
> Paranatural: Wacky adventures starring kids at a high school who have special bonds with ghostly creatures. May or may not feature (government?) conspiracies and secretive organizations.
> Gunnerkrigg Court: Two girls at an extremely esoteric boarding school bordering a forest of magical creatures. Heavy modern vs. tradition, magic vs. tech themes.
> Wilde Life: Would-be author moves to middle-of-nowhere Oklahoma and becomes friends with a ghost and a werewolf (who is THE most well-written, most accurate teenage character ever). Further weirdness ensues.
> Widdershins: Series of vignettes centered around a British town where a magical anchor is. Heavy Deadly Sins themes.

Order of the Stick is one I recognize that Orthos mentioned. It's at www.giantitp.com. Good story, funny, lots of character development.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I recommend all of the ones I mentioned, btw. They're all great stories in their own way.
I just do recommend a GREAT deal of caution with Unsounded. The first chapter or two is very lighthearted, and after that it takes a DEEP dive into a combination of pure WTF, NOPE, and OHGODWHY. It is NOT a happy comic. But DAMN if it isn't pretty, and EXCELLENTLY written.

I'll check out unsounded for actual evil things being done by evil people alone.
Erfworld got too nerdy for me, and that's saying something.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I gave up on Erfworld back when they started doing all those endless side stories and not actually making a comic.
I will steal clear of the rape comic thanks for the warning.
Took me awhile to figure out OOTS was Order of the Stick.
But no, haven't really read it, maybe occasionally, when someone links it.
Also evidently there's some halfling almost porn comic with a halfling named Tammy. O_o
Still trying to figure out how I feel about that.
Honestly, I haven't read comics in a decade at least.
Blarg.
A post got lost somehow.
Try-try-again!
Erfworld got too nerdy for me, and that's saying something.
I'm curious at which point that was?
I gave up on Erfworld back when they started doing all those endless side stories and not actually making a comic.
That makes sense. I agree that originally they felt discordant, but they are actually really useful and important.
First, the comic has gone through several artists - it's lost its first three, and is on the fourth (I believe) at this point ().
As a result, the author had to either generate random blog updates, put the comic on hiatus, or... what he did.
Which... is actually a pretty cool way to go, over-all.
"Hey, guys, I can't actually keep the comic updating as a comic, due to forces more or less entirely beyond my control - so here, have actual new content that opens up the world's lore and tells you a lot that I couldn't actually have put in the comic anyway!"
Again, I do agree that it started a bit awkward... but by this point, it's actually worked out pretty well over-all.
(I understand if it's not your cup of tea, but it works for me!)

Okay.
I am f#%#ing LOVING the art in unsounded. I'm almost upset and offended that Orthos failed to mention how BEAUTIFUL some of these panels are. My god. I have two new backgrounds already. Also, the main character reminds me of orthos. If he were, you know, undead.

I guess we'll have to drag him out into the sun, and see if he sparkles.
It's the only way to be sure.

Are you sure you aren't thinking of alfie? Because that IS porn and it it AWESOME. The art is GORGEOUS, and the little touches of reality when it comes to the sex parts (primarily gravity and it's effects) are WONDERFUL.

Comics, and comic porn.

Also, fever is officially brokenAre we talking CoDzilla broken, or Book of Nine Swords broken?

You want amazing art try Spindrift comic. Just beware it updates super slowly.
I've clearly been missing out.

I'll check it out
Afternoon, all. What did I miss?
Don't actually remember when you posted here last!
CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT MYSELF! WOO~!
I created slashfic (or something, if that's not what it's called; I dunno).
Talked about time travel (not sure if FaWtL knows this one).
I'm looking for new mythic terms.
My drow game has bunny tales, but is otherwise coming along quite well, with a few lore elements that could be interesting (and apparently have some appearance to drow tales in FH's impression, though I think it's only a topical, passing similarity, to me). :D
Also, I'm getting into drowtales (sort of) again, after a break of... I really don't know how long. It's changed a lot.
EDIT: to make an important note... >.>

My girlfriend and I are totally doing this over the weekend. The 'Why is no Swede answering when I am calling?' FAQ made me lol. :D
Now I just have to think of a few questions to ask my random Swede.

Well, friends, a dark day has befallen us all.
Truly, this leave no one unaffected, here in FaWtL.
GameBanshee seems to no longer have their Neverwinter Nights, Shadows of Undrentide, or Hordes of the Underdark walkthroughs up on their site.
Yes, our collective fears have been realized: after twelve years, they've decided to allow such things to pass. We all mourn their passage, it's true. Alas...
:/
EDIT: NOPE, it's still there! Just absurdly hard to get to.
(Looking for the game title, just... gives you the game title. You have to Google the GameBanshee Walkthrough, sit through an advertisement that stays for several minutes after it was supposed to end ("You will automatically be redirected" counted down to -94 seconds) and then wait for a blank screen to load.
Rejoice!
At least their Jade Empire walk through is still up. Hm... I wonder if there is a different way for get to the walkthroughs than just looking it up. Google has not been helpful. Hmmmmm... just directs you to a couple degrees away. It Liiiiiiiiiiiives~!
EDIT: Huzzah!
Dang it, GameBanshee! You have failed me! After all that the useless tidbit of esoteric lore I needed you for, is not to be found within your libram of antiquated knowledge~! BLAARRRRGGG~!
Jade Empire... I downloaded the free giveaway of this but found it too primitive to play.

we're looking at 38 tomorrow, then forties and fifties after that. I'm over it personally, and would rather it got a bit warmer, 70 felt really good, that one day.

Yes, you should. Nothing says 'I'm a father' like a nice sweater vest, worn with a bow tie when you're helping the boy build a train set, pipe clenched between teeth (yours, not the boy's. Or the train's) and wife cheerily baking pies in the kitchen.

You know... maybe I will just enjoy the snow for just this one day. It really is quite beautiful with the snow encrusted trees. Besides if the weather really IS playing with me it will sense my enjoyment and probably toss an 80 or 90 degree heat wave at me next.
