What drew you to 8-Bit Theatre? - Page 20

Fortis · 02-15-2005, 03:48 PM

I was on Newgrounds, waiting for a Final Fantasy Chocobo Mix flash to load up, when lo and behold, there's a pre-loader! A month after seeing it (and forgetting I'd watched it already), I paid closer attention and saw some reference to this "8-bit theater" thing. A hop, skip, and a google later, and I was spending a week or so catching up a couple hundred episodes.

The gamefaqs FFI message board. Ya know, before the owner sold out and it turned into corporate nazi central. I think you get banned now for awknoleging the existance of anything other than gamefaqs without paying them money.

Well as I remember I was looking for final fantasy 7, 8-bit sprites. You see I enjoy animating gifs. I typed in a search and here I was. Over a period of about 3 months I had caught up to the latest episode.

Hmm. I'd have to say, I was reading some of my other comics, then I decided, hey, let's check out some of these links. Lo and behold, there was 8-Bit Theater. And I was hooked. Instantly hooked. O_o I love you 8-Bit Theater... It's got to be my favorite sprite comic ever... I haven't found one I like better. The characters are interesting, and they make me laugh...

Who doesn't like that? Ahh... I'm so happy to find something I can enjoy.

I had first heard about 8-Bit froma link on Mark Shallow's site, Adventurers. 8BT was still in its infancy, and honestly wasn't that good. A few years later, due to the funny 8B5-evil on the attack flash, I came back, to find the adventures freakin hilarious.

An old friend of mine who most commonly goes by the nom de plume, Xzean, introduced me to 8-bit Theatre in the Spring of 2001, if I recall correctly. For a while, I read once or twice per month, but in late 2002 I started reading more frequently, and these days I read each episode within the hour of its posting.

My brother: Hey, have you seen Eight-Bit Theatre/Theater?
Me: Nope.

Minutes later: [Neither acronyms nor emoticons nor a combined force of these can describe our mutual laughter]

I was chatting in IRC, when a friend of mine linked me to the first "HADOKEN" comic shown in 8-Bit Teather. That one (and the explosion in the next one) hooked me forever. :bmage:

I got to here from a link off of VGcats and it took the entire day to read through all the comics all the way up to 432.

My friend suckered me into this and VGcats, but I got him hooked on Homestarrunner, so we're even........for now........
