All right, this was a post that was originally wasn't going to happen. Originally I was planning on reading the first few pages on a bet, say it was stupid, and stopping.
I was completely wrong.
Yes, I was going to make this post yesterday, but I ended up reading for about 4 hours and then not caring that it was 10 pm. I guess its time to say it.
I enjoy webcomics.
To be more specific, I've been reading MS Paint Comics. Which is just another way of saying this bro writes out comics in Microsoft Paint, and then puts them on the internet.
The guy is a genius. His job is to draw on MS paint all day. And he makes bank. I literally have to spell it out as bank.
so this guy has 4 stories that he has written, 2 of which he has abandoned, one he finished, and one which is ongoing, and very, very long.
- Bard Quest- Bard kills dragons, set up like a Choose-your-own-adventure (Unfinished)
- Jail Break- Self Explanitory (Unfinished)
- Problem Sleuth- Starts with a detective stuck in his office, ends as an epic adventure. (Finished, around 1700 pages)
- Homestuck- Four kids start playing a very powerful game (Very big understatement, In-Prgoress)
Although I have read about 50 or so pages into Problem Sleuth, I am at least 1000 pages into Homestuck. Actually, Im RIGHT HERE. (don't click, spoileres, unless you've read Homestuck, of course. )
A quick summary of the ideas of Homestuck: Impossible to give. Really, after about the 3rd act, everything gets all loopy and hard to explain. So, I won't. Instead, I'm going to put a page break in, and talk to everyone who wants spoilers, or has actually read ino the Second half of act V.
Well, look at you! You know, probably are much farther ahead than me, but I don't care! Here's my impression of Homestuck: AH got bored one night, and thought of as many random, confusing things as physically possible, and then jammed them into one story. Impossibly complex, but simple to understand. I can talk to my friends about any part that has happened, but I just can't recall an entire summary of the plot. Its too complex, I feel like I'll forget some small bit, and then what? I'll feel like an idiot. So I won't. You all will either know what I'm talking about or just not care. In either case, if you got an hour or two (and believe me, you'll end up using alot more than just an hour) then give Homestuck a try.
