Also, just to back Meister up on this (and because I want it too):

Seriously. I would love to get to know what goes on in Brian's head... the better to avoid getting any on me, of course.

95% of episodes:

"Yeah in this one I stretched the joke as far as it would possibly go so the final reveal about the four white mages would come another tiny bit later."

You know, last I remember Chaos he was huge and had arms and legs. Is it possible that the ashen thing the white mages blew up was kind of like the dead skin of a snake?

I think I just figured 8 bit theater out. Queen Jayne is the true big bad. That is the only reasonable explanation. Chaos/Sarda was just her pawn. Every thing bad that has happend was her fault. She did not stop King Steve from seeking the "Light Warriors", and BM and Fighters stay in Corneria led to the Onion Kids first scarring for life. Thus leading to Sarda becoming Chaos. She also could have stopped King Steve from chosing our "heroes" as the Light Warriors. She secretly wanted to cause as much evil as she did. And where do you think Sarah got her evil, hmm?

But I like that about 8BT. Probably because Brian manages to pull it off. The filler is funny. The tangents are funny. The plot-halting constant bickering is funny. All the random useless sidequests are funny. The "meanwhile" comics are funny. Some of the best jokes were in the filler comics, and without it the whole of 8BT would be a hundred comics long.

And somehow, it fits the main characters. They all seem like they have an attention span of five seconds, and the fact the comic meanders and goes off on tangents and asides and that everything seems to be taking one step forward, two steps back and one to the side, fits them perfectly. It's what these guys would do.

I never said I considered it a bad thing.

So, after pondering the ways in which he could ninja'd me, while I slave laboriously at studies...

Ok, I don't really get the whole white mage thing. I don't remember priest, shaman, or healer ever showing up in previous comics, or even being mentioned. And what's with the nintendo power black mage is looking at?

He says the same thing about Bard.
