I was just browsing Wiby.me when I came across a website featuring a badly drawn comic with a comically large-chinned protagonist. I didn't think anything about it, until I noticed the url: https://www.somethingawful.com/hosted/adventures/ So I ask, what is the history of this thing? [edit] Looks like there is text if you highlight the empty space on each page. As well, there are broken links for comics that no longer exist.

Holy poo poo I remember this. This is so loving old I don't even remember the context anymore. https://www.somethingawful.com/feature-articles/time-go-back/1/ https://www.somethingawful.com/feature-articles/alien-invasion-planet/1/ I think it was really just one of those early front-page running joke story things.

for some reason i was expecting one of those links to go to the barn raisin' un-mercy video but now that i think about it, alien invasion was something different does anyone have a link to barn raisin' un-mercy? it was probably flash and the links from SA don't seem to work anymore, but the mp3 is still hosted https://www.somethingawful.com/hosted/automaticturban/musics/Barn_Rasin_UnMercy.mp3 i've always assumed the vocals are fragmaster but i don't actually know for sure. anyway, that song rules and it's been in my head since the early 2000s.

I try not to think about how much of my internal memetics is informed by half-forgotten SA shitposts. Like I have faint memories of the thread where "Obama sighed as he unsheathed his katana" came from but for the life of me I can't remember enough of it to remember what it was about anymore. That was a late 00s one?? gently caress I used to have all this poo poo saved on my HD.

The view from below series is p good. I think one of the things I like about strauss's A colder war is how similar they kinda feel despite being wildly different scopes
