I have both pictures for sad children books, including the kickstarter one that caused all the drama.

There are only two endings depending on if you choose to side with Dagda or not. Joining Lucifer or the Angels is an extended game over instead.

I meant like if you choose to destroy the egg, fight Dagda, and then choose not to after you kill Krishna and turn your back on Danu for example. The reverse could also be possible

What will cubicle people look at to feel better when they want to die without pop culture figurines? Their kids photo? Unlikely

I normally listen to podcasts at work but because I'm grading papers and find the chit-chat distracting I'm listening to video game music on YouTube. I dunno if I said this before or not but the Killer Instinct 2013 soundtrack is a work of art and you all should listen to it.

It's composed by Mick Gordon, same guy who did the new Wolfenstein and Doom games.

He's also going to be doing the music for Arkane's next game, Prey, which is gonna own

E: Except the ROTT remake, which was by Andrew Hulshult. He kicks rear end too.

It is OK, people just like to be a little argumentative because they want to have fun. Some people think that there is an objective measurement of how good or "cool" something is or isn't, but nobody's perfect. I have a Winnie the Pooh and a Tigger Funkopop figurine in front of me at work, and my wife has a Batman in her office. I also have a minifig of myself that a friend made me (the same friend who made my avatar).

imo Doom's soundtrack would've been much better if it were just actual metal/hard rock and not the strange grungy industrial dubstep hybrid they went with.

Homestuck started off great and then progressively got worse and worse over the course of 7 years, but I still stuck with it to the bitter and unsatisfying end. I was in high school when that drat comic started and now I'm almost done with college, holy cow.

I dropped xkcd after checking it for a chuckle for years. I've left a lot of webcomics on the side of the road and now I only read Whomp on the reg. I read the webcomics thread in the forums though, so I guess Goblins. Or Oren Otter. I don't have a lot of control over what goes on in that place.

Megatokyo and/or Penny Arcade back when they were basically the only two webcomics in existence.



The best currently running comics: KSBD, Oglaf, Gunnerkrigg Court (tho I'm kinda not feeling that last one as much lately).

E: Whomp is good, I only remember to check it occasionally though.

I said Gunnerkrigg was good earlier but to be honest I am not really feeling it either because it's becoming pretty obvious that Tom doesn't have the guts to kill off any of the main characters even though the story keeps getting darker and darker. There's no tension anymore. :/

I am unafraid to admit in the presence of FactsAreUseless that I would've been 100% ok with Smitty biting it if it meant the comic would have some kind of tension again. As is, whenever the characters are in danger it's like "ok so how many pages will it be before the situation resolves itself in like 5 panels".

The threat of death is not the only kind of conflict necessary in a story. GC isn't that kind of story.

I'd agree with you if this weren't the third arc nearly in a row that has concluded with "is x character gonna die?! Are they going to actually die for real?!! No, in fact they will be fine. Thank you for reading."

At least this one ended with some lasting consequences I guess.

the only ones I ever read more than like once, I read the first like 200 Questionable Contents, however many existed in 2007, that's how many i read, and about twice a year i'll look at it again because it's honestly amazing that it continues to get worse. like, you would think there would be a bottom of the barrel, but it just keeps going.

the only other ones i remember reading a bunch were Elftor and Boatface. i seem to recall them both being kinda funny.

xkcd was a regular one for me. VGCatz was the first webcomic I ever read and probably the worst.

Actually before I got into webcomics I was really into video game flash cartoons. Some of those were some hot garbage.

I got started on it because of a girl I was dating at the time. And then the next one I dated also read it, except she was hate-reading it by then like I was. My current wife does not know it exists and I'm super happy about that.
