What drew you to 8-Bit Theatre?

[Batarang]

It was during a game of D&D when the DM started banging his head on the table saying "its funny when it happens on 8 bit but not in my game!" I had to see what he was talking about through his sobs and tears!

[BDMblue]

found this site from www.vgcats.com

[radikalskippy]

My brother told me about this place... It's incredible!!!

[Arth99]

Well Legendary Frog did an intro based off 8-bit, but the site was down. Then ages later I saw the ones on Newgrounds and finally came to this site :P

[Jack T Robyn]

This (http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=010311) was the first 8bT I read, way back before BC moved to Orlando . . .

I have no idea where I got the link from, now that I think of it. It was back when I read under two dozen comics . . . I think . . .

It wasn't VGCats, I got the link to there from here . . .
I doubt it was Cloud's Mystery Hour (anyone remember that?)
. . .
PA or PvP maybe?

[Seph1roth5]

I remember the first one I read was #8 or 9. It was just something a friend recommended to me in an IM, and if I want my friends to go look at whatever I want them to, that means I have to do the same for them. Luckily 8-bit theater is awesome, and I eagerly gobbled up new episodes up until around 300 or so. I think then I decided to wait a couple weeks in between reading instead of checking every day, so it wouldn't be so bad a wait. But then I started forgetting about it and only remembering every few months that I hadn't been keeping up with it. And since I forgot what had happened before I kept having to re-read the previou 30 or so panels, heh but I didn't mind.

[TrollSMASH!]

I was looking up the specs to make a thermo-nuclear device, (the toaster burned my pop-tart for the LAST TIME!!!!)
when I came across this comic, Blackmage had just murdalized that kid's parents (the 2nd time)

and I thought............. By all that is sick, twisted and perverted.....THATS ME!!!

Been keeping up with his antics ever since

[whoiam]

I was reading through the computer games section of fiveminute.net, and 8-bit theater gets a brief mention in the fiver of Final Fantasy.

SimonBob: Okay, let's get one thing clear. This fiver is in no way related to 8-Bit Theatre, despite the fact that it uses the same content (ie. Final Fantasy for the Nintendo Entertainment System) for its humour.
Fighter: I like swords.
SimonBob: Just for that, none of you are in the fiver.

True, 'I like swords' wasn't the most unforgettable of quotes, but I was bored... and now here I am.

[norava]

im bored so im gonna post wat drew me 2 this

the 8-bit newgrounds series

done

[Janyel]

Linked from Bob and George. Since then, I have read the archives through at least 4 times.

[Kambria]

I saw the preloader in Chocobo robo voice and came here. Hooked ever since.


Sadly, it was exactly the same for me... I still love that song, I even managed to Download it somehwere...

[Vaya]

I had heard about it throughout internet geekdom, and after a topic on rpg.net asking about webcomics had it listed by several members, I decided to check it out.


I also introduced it to my gaming group, but I don't think they got into it so much. :(

[Kerensky287]

Back in the day, when I was part of a Halo modding clan, one of the guys read 8-bit. He quoted it sometimes. So... I asked him where all of his CrAzY jokes came from. He linked me here. It was around the part where they took out the Lich... I read through the archives in about a day, they were so good.

[TheDarkmage]

I've being a Final Fantasy fan for years,and I wanted to read a Final Fantasy sprite comic that didn't suck,8-Bit-Theater is that comic.

[Legendary]

Guest comics on VG Cats and OOTS. There was just something in that. I think it's because I wanted to understand who some of the others were (like WM in OOTS, who isn't named in the guest comic).

[Chocobo]

I heard about it from Bob and George.

[Karariv]

friend told me about it, I forgot, found (by chance) the animated series on newgrounds, remembered what friend said, came here,m nuff said

[Iyeru]

friend told me about it, I forgot, found (by chance) the animated series on newgrounds, remembered what friend said, came here,m nuff said
It should be pretty easy to find this place out by just searching for Final Fantasy on newgrounds.com. That is of course if your school doesn't block it and you are one who actually goes there from time to time.

Quite frankly, the animated series needs a Part 6. However, if you're lucky enough to search google every now and then... here's a screen cap for you.

http://iyeru42.hopeforanotherday.org/images/8bitsearchTHUMB.gif (http://iyeru42.hopeforanotherday.org/images/8bitsearch.gif)

[Gnarlpine]

On newgrounds, the first few episodes of 8 Bit have been done animated. I never even knew about this at all until recently!

[Eldezar]

I was looking up a new franchise to waste my pitiful existence with. Guess what I found.

[Winza]

A gaming pal of mine that I use to play Shadowrun with told me about it when I started talking about how much I loved the final fantasy series. He started quoting Fighter (admittedly, not the best character to quote when you want to impress someone... lol) and then talked about how BM was psychotic and trying to kill everyone else. I had to read it at that point!

That was about the middle of 2003, maybe early 2004. Since I started reading it, I've told everyone else I meet about it. It's spreading like a chucklarious (chuckle mixed with hillarious) virus among all my friends and family!

I only just as of the day of this post, just joined the forums... all that wasted time...

[Doc ock rokc]

well i watched the newgrounds animations but i didnt click the link then i read vgcats then i found it in the link page along with ctrl alt del and snafu

[Nuklear Waste]

I found it while editing/reading Wikipedia. In the Red Mage article (now moved to an article about FF jobs in general) it said something like "Red Mage is also the name of a character in [[8-Bit Theater]]." I saw it several times before:

1. Clicked on the link, checked the external link to nuklearpower.com.
2. Check the website for a few minutes, never found the time to actually start reading the comic.
3. 2. several times
4. Read the first few episodes.
5. Saw the sentence mentioned earlier again, followed the links, started to actually read the comic.
6. Throughout a few days (since I would read them very late), I finally got up to the latest episode (they were entering the Castle of Ordeals).
7. I checked out the forums every now and then, but as soon as Red Mage got his Class Change (the episode where he is about to cast Hadoken), I read the forums regularly.

[Nightmare Darkly]

I heard about it in passing during a conversation with a friend.

[Mirai Gen]

It was sheer boredom.

Seriously.

I started reading webcomics in general back when I had a data entry job, one of my first. I put the paper in the scanner, hit "Scan," and while it shifted through fifty pages of burn documents and other such useless government documents, I would alt-tab over to webcomics.

I actually started reading Bad Mushrooms - and liked it! - before VG Cats was formed. Oh yeah, let's hear it for seniority!

When I got all hooked onto the forums all those years ago - back when the people I looked up to (shiney and Lockeownzj00) still posted - 8Bit became crucial to my daily life, if only because of it's connection to NPF.

[Draguun]

Newgrounds. Read the webcomic and liked it better.

[SpiritBoy]

I remember seeing it on Newgrounds and said "Sounds sweet". Read the forst 20 and got bored. The nafter 2 years I got back and read it all. Now I'm in love. <3

[LuciLano]

Well a friend of mine said I should read it since we both loved FF. I tried it out and loved it, but hated waiting for the next episode, lol. I stopped reading for a couple months at one time so I could read them all at once :D

[Lord_Amesius]

I watched the Flash series on NG a few years (1-2) back.

I still ask Raptor Jesus to let that flash series be continued... Every night..... Twice

[Bobo_Jinky]

I think I followed a link here...or something...

[dracomousesin]

ow my pc was like hey i found this cool site and i was like 0 rely and it was like ya rely and befor i knew it id been reading it every few days for sevrel years and im just now geting around too postig on the forms

[Vault Of Thrones]

A friend of mine showed me one of the flash-videos made from the comic.
I got home and started looking for the other videos.
Googling 8-Bit Theater got me directly to this website and the rest is history.
And then after that I started telling all my friends about it.

[kure]

I think my attraction to Nuklearpower was brought on by some other smelly individual with his own webcomic (http://www.cad-comic.com). And when said individual wouldn't stop expressing his extreme hate of Mr. Clevenger, I had to inspect the matter. Needless to say, I now know why he hates him so:D

[Burnworth]

I was searching stuffs about FF and found the site. Ignore but sent the link to my friend. He started reading and re-sent the link to me demanding me to read. Well... it's been one year and few months now. :o

[Lotus]

Hi, I'm new, not only to the forum but to the comic as well.
I found 8-bit when I was looking for a webcomic to waste some time on. I started to read the first one and a few episodes later I was hooked. After a while I found the archive link and realized there were over 900 episodes! So I spent a few days reading them all and now I can't wait for the next ones. :)
I know the comic is based on a game but to be honest I haven't played many computergames and have probably never even seen the one this is based on. Still I find it very entertaining and that's what I think is so great about 8-bit. That and the fact that even with kinda limited facial expression and body-language the emotions in the comic still shines through. I admire that. Also the concept with 4 incompetent people that are supposed to save the world is very amusing.
So to make a long story short (to late?) I like 8-bit and will keep reading it.

[BetaRuler]

I think things like that are what I love about some older popular webcomics the most, reading through hundreds of pages of archives :p

[Leper Messiah TR]

the OOTS forum, OOTS and 8BIT are still the only comics I read

[yoshi927]

Well, I was making a comic a while back, and I used what I thought was a joke originating from a mistranslation that I heard all over the internet. Namely, the "I casts the spells that makes the peoples fall down". Someone called me down for copying 8-Bit, and I've been checking for updates daily ever since.

[Tyrfing]

I was reading posts on Gamefaqs and someone had a quote form episode 430 (http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=040617) in their signature.

Not that I'm complaining, about it, but...
HOW DO YOU MISS A VOLCANO?!

I just had to come here after reading that.

^ Speaking of good signatures... :)

[CABAL49]

A friend told me about one of the movies and I eventually found my way here.

[KingDekar]

It was sometime in 2004 that I stumbled across the site, and from my previous undying love for the game and obvious creativity of the comic, I've been checking the new ones every day since.

[KotaGreykin]

I was looking for online webcomics and this was placed on the top of many webcomic sites.

[JeffToTheMax]

I was converted by the near-godlike PyrosNine. I can't remember what heathen webcomic I was reading before this, but it was surely not worth my or anyone else's time. Order of the something, it was.

[Naqel]

I found 8-bit when I was randomly bumping into various links under one of the comics I read earlier(it died a while back).

[SlickStretch]

I was playing Final Fantasy. (I don't remember which one.) Typed it into google, looking for a site to help me figure something out, and just happened to stumble upon it. That was right around episode 20 me thinks...

[sparafucile]

My friends were reading it and I decided to check it out one day. It was the episode where RM fires the Hadoken (mimic'd from BM) for the first time. I can't say that was what got me hooked, but I came back a few times and started from scratch and that was it. Hell, I spent one New Years Eve alone reading up in the 8-bit saga :D

[OverNineThousand89]

The Newgrounds animations of the first few chapters. Which, btw, I've been meaning to ask: is anyone planning on continuing that series? I really loved the voices they used and I imagine most of the newer comic dialog spoken with those voices.

[Hugah]

Hi there, I'm new here. [first post is GO!]

got into 8-bit when i was doing work experience, i was just browsing the internet and found a little megaman sprite comic, which led me to bob and george. (around the time george appeared in the megaman world)
Followed a link to many a website from bob and george, 8-bit, VGcats, Leasticoulddo, ctrl-alt-del...

And, i didn't think the voices in the animated ones fitted well, Fighters voice didn't sit well, thought that voice would suit BB more. BM and Theifs voices were good though.

[Daddie]

(geez, have I posted here before?! head hurts...)

I found 8-bit theater on Newgrounds, with a link to the comics at the end of one of the official flash cartoon. Being an old-school geek and passionate gamer, I found myself drawn to it more and more as I read through it, and I would now die in all possible ways if Brian found himself unable to continue the comics. :gonk:

[Rudred]

A link in the Pre-loader of a Legendary frog animation first bought me here, what hooked me was the humour and taking the piss out of cloud in the first 50 or so strips.

[The Mirror Emperor]

I'm almost aghast that I haven't posted in this thread yet, seeing how 500+ others have already.

At the time me and my sister were re-living the nostalgic days of when we used to play Final Fantasy before the NES cartridge went up and missing (we've still yet to find it, but sister ordered a replacement, so it's all good). Searching Newgrounds, we came across the 8-Bit Theater flash and found it very amusing. At the end of the flash was a link, and that's how we found this site. It wasn't until months later that I found the forum.

[Black Mage 2.0]

I actually read this comic during summer break in June. (It took me a few weeaks to read the entire thing) I finally got bored with the forums I was on and Joined this one.

[JunoXI]

When I was high school, sophomore year. A friend, who is now my boyfriend, introduced me to the comic and I've been a fan ever since.

By the way, my last login was four years ago?! Crap. I gotta start posting here more often.

[Hex]

privateryann!!!!

And now I'm an even bigger webcomic nerd than he ever was!
BAMF

[Domino369]

Same...except that webcomic nerd part :P

[Justice Team]

my step-brothe, while chatting on MSN, he randomly gives me this link to a webcomic page where black mage is nuking people, and I'm looking at this like WTF? lol
then I poked around and read the whole thing, and couldn't stop laughing for three solid days

[Grustein]

I found some animated versions on Newgrounds, When I was done waching, I searched on google to find more.

[dougery]

i read a review of atomic robo on one of them there big comicbook sites and the reviewer mentioned the comic genius of 8-bit, describing its basic structure, sprite comic, vaguely about final fantasy, etc, and i was sold. sold i say sold. took me a good 8 months to read the lot, but i'm now a better person for it.

[Dzelda]

Well, I was never one to read early Wirld War Comcibooks, as much to Brians chagrin, however, when I was referred here by a friend on another forum, (of which I am popular and VERY POWERFUL ahem) I found Brians 8 bit to be the one and only golden comic to be found. With a beautific mix of moronic notwittery, story plotline that SEVERELY deviated from the game one, but yet made up with the biffoonery and a cast that by now we all know and love, 8 bit is the Golden Standard from which I base all other comics off of. Im usually a very harsh critic on most comic threads, but Brians innovative use of plot devices and personality quirks have made 8 bit a lovable, if not laugh out loud performance that I have found just as funny from the first comic, to the very most recent one.

Personally, Im not very surprised that Brian came out for a Eisner Nomination. In my eyes, he might even give Marvel a run for their money, I sure as hell would like to see that.

[POS Industries]

on another forum, (of which I am popular and VERY POWERFUL ahem)
Oh man, we don't even respect our own mods here, what hope do you have?

[jimwormmaster]

A friend of mine said I just had to see this comic, and I read the first few, to humor him. I was hooked by the first 5 or so, and it went from there.

[scytheholder]

I can't remember, probably the sprites...and the violent problems...and Thief...

[waw]

My wife was searching for sprites for me one night and she bumped across the 8-bit Theatre... we both knew of it but only vaguely. She read about 100 pages (i was busy with other things) and she had laughed a lot. So finally, she talked me into reading it and I had read 950 pages by the end of that weekend. :D

It was the comedy, it was the FFness and it was the amazing sprites.

[TheI3rokenspiral]

I have no clue what brought me here but I am sure glad I found it. I've been reading them for about 4 or 5 years now. I found this site back in high school. And I agree with Hamelin, Brian is not hot. Sorry bro.

[akaSM]

As a lot of people here, thanks to Newgrounds, though I don't have any idea of how I got there :sweatdrop. There's something about things made with sprites that I just love :whee:

[Azreal]

I was watching four swords misadventures on newgrounds and it was mentioned in the flash so i looked it up. I've been reading since the light warriors got out of dragoons tower.

[DarkDrgon]

a classmate of mine wouldnt stop talking about it, and I just had to check it out

loyal reader since 04 :D

[Jagos]

WWWWWWAAAAAAAYYYY Back in the day...

NPF was part of Top Web Comics. I was looking for Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger stuff. I stumbled upon Nuklear Power and saw a weird little Black Mage and a stupid Fighter talking in a forest. And I was like... O_o?

So I read a little and liked the comic. Then I saw the HUGE forum space. I found Captain SNES, Clanbob, and NPF that way before...

THE GREAT DIVIDE!

Seriously, I've come to like the forums more than the comic but I still read on occasions. :)

[The Foreigner]

On newgrounds there was this flash animation based on a web comic which was also based on characters from final fantasy I...

it's been 4 years now since I began reading it.

[Hiroshino]

I remember watching 8-Bit D&D on Newgrounds several years ago for the first time. Then I discovered 8-Bit Theatre. They were on the same list of final fantasy flash videos that were among the most popular or something like that. I think one of my friends had shown me the 8-Bit flashes, several years ago. After that one of us discovered the site and told the other.

It's been awhile. I'm sure one of my friend's probably discovered the flash videos first and that's how I came to know about them. I don't regret it since the comic and flash episodes are entertaining and funny.

[Lord Setheris]

Several years ago I got stumbled upon this website randomly and I clicked on latest comic and I saw some red mage trying to stab somebody in the neck with a piece of furniture.

The sheer epicness of that event hooked me.

[pakopako]

Not sure if my post was still here, but a friend showed me he found "Ogre Catapult" somewhere and redirected it to me.

To be honest, nostalgia has really hit me after strip... is it 1000 yet? I miss the old days of the highly-pixelated images of pixelated images and the one-liners that were plain horrib-- I mean creatively interpreted.

"You HP or your GP!"

-=PakoPako=-

[Neni]

I am browing through the TV-tropes-wiki regulary, and they often mentioned 8-bit-theater. So, I like sprite comics, I like Final Fantasy, and I'm open to everything.
Of course, I had to read this.
And, men, WAS I amazed!^^
Exspecially the..well... interesting realationship between BM and WM got me stuck. XD (In the beginning, I was completly with White, because her hatred for BM's methods of fliting is completly reasonable, but I am more and more hopeing that he manages to win her heart... somehow XD)

I also love the in-depth, all the characters have. And Black Belt's monolouge when he died made me pretty sad.

OK, I better stop talking now, because I talk to much! ^^;

[EvilFuzzy9]

Well, I had gotten into the manga Naruto, and I was reading it online on Naruto Manga Returns at msn groups, and when I had read through the archives I started looking at other stuff in the group, and I came across a sprite comic. One of the episodes of that sprite comic attributed its inspiration to something called "8-Bit Theater". Out of curiousity, I clicked on the link it had, and it brought me here. I remember that the newest comic was the one where RM brought the group to a tavern. I went to the first comic, and over the next few days I read through the entire archives. I haven't stopped reading since. :p

[waw]

I saw the chocobo song that had an homage to 8-bit in the beginning. Didn't think much of it.

I continued to do what I do normally for a year or two and then my wife and brother in law were talking about funny comics so I decided to read it... realized what it was and have read it ever since.

[Megatrauma]

'twas a while ago when I was really interested in web comics and such, and some Rockman sprite comics had me really laughing and such. :gonk:
Somehow I stumbled across nuklearpower.com and it has been the only on-going story I've kept on reading, despite some lows.
Probably been around since the very early days, but more of a simple reader than a forum poster (hence why I signed up so damn late :rolleyes:)

[ShadowScar Knight]

What drew me to 8BitTheater was that several years ago... like, 3 or 4, I was suddenly into making sprite comics myself, and I made several of them. I read them to myself and thought that the comics were really bland, so I googled the words "sprite comic" and looked around through the web and images tabs for some inspiration... and then there it was, a featured comic of 8BitTheater on the image search on the front page. I went and clicked it, read the comic, lmao'd, then browsed through the archives to read more, and then I was a quick fan of the series.

Then I promptly forgot about my own comics until several months later... when I finally deleted them. =D

[Naga_Feanor]

I goggled 8 bit about few years ago in high school, saw 8 bit theater, wonder what it was, and here I am, daily checking for updates. Why daily? Force of habit I suppose.

[mousemuffins]

I learned about VGCats.com from a post on the forum at OCRemix and I looked the ZeStuff store, for VGCats, and they also sold merchandise for 8-Bit Theatre and Staccato. So I figured I'd read 8bt and I love and I have every episode on my thumb drive. That's how I learned about 8bt.

[Tankooni]

What brought me here was mouse suggested I read it and gave me the files and so I read them all on my PocketPC during school, free time, and when i was supposed to be sleeping

[MightyMorphinPoodleRanger]

a rainy day in december + boredom + internets = I find google.com
google.com = my finding crazy places like this

[Kepor]

The first comic I read was Episode 781: The Travel District (http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=061212). I had followed a link from an Eragon hate blog. The text for the link read "8-Bit Theater: The funniest thing you will ever read."

And that's how I discovered webcomics.

[Krazeh Penguin]

I came cause a friend told me, and I stayed for the sociopathy.

[walkertexasdruid]

First of all, Final Fantasy One is my all time favorite old school game.;)

After my friend introduced me to this web-comic, I could not get enough. I went through the over 1,000 episodes in a matter of a couple weeks. It is cool, cute, and delightfully twisted. Keep up the good work, Brian! :D

[Chiyo-Chan]

I was bored and using random search on Wikipedia. I found the 8-bit Theater page, got linked here, and, eventually, made a forum account.

[grimalchemist]

I can't hardly remember how I ended up here. I started reading back when the comic was in it's teens and followed it regularly for over a year before I slipped out of the habit for some reason or another.

A couple of years later, a friend of mine sends me an e-mail commenting on the funny comic he just found, and I was amazed to see that 8-bit theater was still running strong, and I've been following ever since.

[Colonel Mustard]

I saw a page posted a forum I frequent, The Ordo Off Topicus, about a fortnight ago. It was Black Mage's explanation of how Lex Luthor was actually good, and I decided to check it out.

I'm dead glad I did.

[iCat]

I don't remember where I found this, but it was only like a month ago and I've read them all so far. So damn epic.

[Phylyn51]

I was born only to read them....or someone told me about them like 4-5 years ago.

[Silver Etude]

I ended up here, somehow, after reading Bob and George. The particular comic I happened to read was something sadistic involving Black Mage and Fighter, which I found funny. After finally catching up in the comics; this -> http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=65 made a lot more sense.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

In 2005, I was surfing around vgcats.com when I found the link to 8-Bit. I've been reading it ever since that day.

[Viridis]

Started in a VG Cats posted to GameFAQs, branched out to all the other major webcomics.

[Adrian Faust]

Saw a quote from it in someone's sig on some other forum and was like "Hey, that sounds pretty cool, I should go read it."

[Magic_Marker]

Saw the first Flast Video on Newgrounds. Been following it off and on since Bikke.

[Ken]

Random RPG related Google searches. I think I started reading back in 2003. I found a 8-bit Dragon Warrior comic that linked me to 8BT. Fun times.

[Punch out jirachi]

Saw the 5 8-bit theater flashes then searched Nuklear power, then started to read the comic where I left off.

[T3h]

Secret of Mana Theater.

GOD DAMN IT JERRY UNCORRUPT THE HTML FILES AND LET ME DOWNLOAD THE ENTIRE SERIES SO I CAN RELIVE PORTIONS OF MY PREPUBESCENCE

[Lady Fire Dove]

My husband tacticslion is a long-time fan. I've been hearing about 8bit for years and am now enjoying reading through the comics myself for the first time.

[Inmate 4251]

I was first introduced to it by a friend back when I was in High School, and I've been hooked ever since. I remember it was at about comic 350 when I first started and caught up through the archives. Now that the comic is nearing its end I need to go back and read through it all again so I can try to remember everything that has happened over the years. This will actually be the second online sprite comic that I will have seen to its conclusion, the first being "Bob and George".

[krogothwolf]

My husband tacticslion is a long-time fan. I've been hearing about 8bit for years and am now enjoying reading through the comics myself for the first time.

Ao your the fabled Wife of Tacticslion eh? Awesome. Of course you could just be tacticslion pretending to be his wife by creating a new SN to fool us all! He is dastardly like that....

I kid I kid.

I found it randomly when It was at #10 and thought it was funny so I stuck around and read it since then. Awesome stuff.

[Lady Fire Dove]

Ao your the fabled Wife of Tacticslion eh? Awesome. Of course you could just be tacticslion pretending to be his wife by creating a new SN to fool us all! He is dastardly like that....

Indeed! I, personally, never trust a word he says. ;)

Except, I suppose, like, all the time...

So, anyway, nice to meet you! :D

I'm up to comic #772 now ... He really wants me to finish before I see spoilers on these boards... I'm really enjoying the comic! It's quite an epic piece of hilarity!

[krogothwolf]

Well then I look forward to chatting with you in the board more! It is a great piece of hilarity. It kept me insane through college and beyond

[Dachimotsu]

Personally? I accidentally came across the flash animated versions on newgrounds. There was a link to nuklearpower.com in the title and ending screens.

[frostwhisperer]

there was a guy on a forum talking about kiling baby's and a guy posted a link to this in a scene where black mage had the plan to dropping rocks on elven baby's until they are extinct

[Roxas]

I've heard about it quite a few times, usually in some relation to Ansem Retort. I heard 8-Bit Theater was much better (And it is), so I decided to start reading it, and I regret nothing.

[Malkerix]

Since the VGCats guest comic.

[wight24]

I found out about it through newgrounds on this legend of zelda 4 swords misadventures and i enjoyed FF1 (One of the remakes) so i decided to check it out ( i red the words on the picture of the comic on the screen) and i decided that it was hilarios(this was around after episode 666 i forgot how musc aftr but after that one)

[The Duke]

I think one of the other webcomics I read linked to it, or I heard it described and knew I had to read it.

[lorettafxi]

funny story lol i picked up the link here in someone's bazaar comment on ffxi ^^;
been hooked ever since :D

[Hanuman]

It's pretty apparent that 8-Bit Theatre was a huge hit long before I learned of it a few weeks ago. What caused you to stumble on this awesome site?
My friend got me into it, we started reading it about ep 200-300 in and just kept going. We used to juggle chain flails and talk about 8bt while walking down the sidewalk and in parks, good times.

I first found out about 8bit when one of the "guest comics" was posted by the artist on DeviantArt, I clicked through the link to the NP page and have been reading it ever since. That was around comic number 300 or so. Can't quite remember. Been reading the forums since around the same time as well, and just decided to sign up today :D

I think I found out about it from reading other webcomics. Since every webcomic drawer seems to know all the others... Yes.

I just remember hearing that is was one of THE comics you have to read.

I started reading around when it was around #400 or so. I got a link from a messenger buddy and it was often linked in the forums I frequented.

I started from the begining and read through it until I needed to sleep so I bookmarked and started again when I got up.

FF wiki actually drew me here.

VGcats brought me here, if I remember correctly. They had some kind of reference to 8-bit theater, and when I found out it was only about FF, it was instant love.

A photobucket search for "Black Mage" had several comics in the results.

EGM way back in the day. BTW this is the first website I visited when I brought my first computer!

I know I just joined the forum, but I have been reading 8-bit theater sence the 3rd eppisode... just never even looked at the forum. hi.

Browsed periodically prior to 2003 but it wasn't until watching the flashes on newgrounds that I really read more of the comic and since then I have, but at times wouldn't just so there would be more to read when I got back to it. Joined the forums in late '08 on the supposed ending to the comic but decided to hang around a little bit longer.
