Order of the Stick

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007 | Personal | No Comments

Some people might say that I read entirely too many webcomics already, but I felt compelled to add this one to the list of webcomics that I read, entirely due to its great qualities of letting me reminisce on the many years where I played pen and paper role playing games.

In style with the great Knights of the dinner table comic that was shown in Dragon, it provides many great puns on roleplaying, the mix of in- and out-of-game conversation that takes place, and Order of the Stick manages to do all of this just using stick figures. Highly recommended.

Misfile

Thursday, November 9th, 2006 | Personal | No Comments

Imagine you’ve lived your life as a boy, then one day you wake up as a girl. Imaging that you’re a girl and you wake up with the last two years of your life whisked out of existence. Imagine when you wake up there’s a delinquent angel telling you he misfiled some of your papers in the great filing room of heaven, causing your lives to be all messed up, and the only way to fix it is by finding a way for the angel to get back into heaven.

If you think this sounds like a recipe for disaster, you wouldn’t be entirely wrong. Find the webcomic behind this idea here.

When the sprites go adventuring

Sunday, March 5th, 2006 | Personal | No Comments

Today started like any day: get up, go online (not necessarily strictly in that order), start working on school stuff (yes, even though it’s sunday and everything). However, peace, prosperity and focus didn’t last long as Rubin had the benevolent idea to introduce me to Kid Radd, the not-entirely-sprite comic. Very nice story and a humourous idea in the first place. Of course it probably helps if you did play these kind of games back in the day. So thanks, Rubin, for “wasting” my entire day on another webcomic.

The errant wars

Friday, December 23rd, 2005 | Personal | No Comments

The dwarves are dead, the elves have isolated themselves from the world, the half-elves and the elves have battled for millennia, the humans have forgotten all but the fear of the elves. In a world of high magic, theocracies, supernatural assassins and ancient feuds we find Michael Poe’s Errant Story.

The errant story tells the story of a young girl Meji who is abnormally lazy and is about to fail her magic studies because she does not pay attention in classes. Fortunately there is an old clause in the school rules that if you manage to blow up the school and all the teachers you pass with honours. So what’s a young girl to do? Well, sipphon off the power of a deity and blow the hell out of the teachers. Sounds like a bad plot out of Hollywood? You wouldn’t be far off. However, despite the shallow initial plot the story and characters actually grow on you as you make your way through the archives.

My judgement? Absolutely recommendable for a nice afternoon of magical stories.

Cartoons

Normally I don’t really mention anything much else than a few disconnected ramblings about my life and some development stuff I do on here, but I want to mention David Morgan-Mar’s most excellent comic: Irregular Webcomic. His comic gave me more laughs while I’ve been down after my tonsillectomy than anything else did. So a big thank you from here.

Irregular Webcomic number 740

The second installment of the ruminations have arrived, here. I hope you enjoy it.

Due to an obscene amount of work put upon us this semester I am not sure that I will have the time to write another of these until after my exams in January.

Lastly, I was recommended a really great online cartoon strip the other day and thought I’d share it with the few of you who actually read this page. So, without further ado, Ozy & Millie.
